Every month the collective moves through one of the 9 repeating stages of development consciousness cycles through for expansion and growth. Last month we cycled through phase #2, the stage of slow progression, connecting, sensitivity, balance and harmony. This month we are cycling through phase #3, the stage of creating, playing, inner child, creativity and high energy. There was a slow start into the new year of 2026, and in February the collective will feel a strong shift in energy towards a new direction with shared ideas. The pace will quicken and so will your mental energy. If you like life has been too overwhelming, stressful or heavy lately, then February will provide a break and serve as a resting point for you. There will likely be a sense of ease and lightheartedness awaiting for you to tap into and embrace. In terms of worldly affairs, this month could reach a turning point around mid-month, shifting the collective focus from one direction to another. The collective is shedding great truth of what’s been in the shadows for too long, and this could feel a bit chaotic. 

This phase is about creating in all senses of the world. Leaning into imagination, visions and ideas, to share with others and collaborate. Whether you consider yourself a creative person or not, everyone has creative potential and this month will be the prime time to tap into this energy! Take intentional time to do something that brings out your creative thoughts - organize, paint, draw, build, craft. Try going out of your comfort zone a bit and test the waters of your potential; you may be surprised by the results. This phase is meant to bring out the most creative part of yourself; the inner child. There is a sense of wonder, appreciation and openness that lives innately within the inner child, and this innocence is welcomed to the forefront in February. What were some of your likes and fascinations as a kid? When was the last time you did something for the sake of having fun and being silly? This month try an activity just for your own enjoyment, and maybe revisit an old love that brings happiness and nostalgic feelings to your heart. February is the month for loosening up and sharing what’s in your heart with those around you.

During this phase, it’s likely to experience the need to express, to share ideas, to work towards goals and to feel emotions flooding to the surface for processing and release. For the collective, this could feel like a more emotional month than January, and grounding will be highly important for centering and peace within. Be cautious when it comes to communicating about heavy topics, it will likely be more difficult to control emotions and outbursts. Find time to sit and process your emotions, so you can better show up for others without leaking emotional energy onto others. Within the collective, we could experience more outbursts, tantrums and possible aggression. Be mindful of the harmful energies currently coming to the surface to be realized, acknowledged and transformed. 

During February, it could be common for people to experience a lack of focus, scattered energy and an increase in mental energy. The realms of imagination will be fueled and charged with creative drive and inspirations appear seemingly out of nowhere! There is potential for this to be a highly productive time with a few side adventures here and there. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re distracted or struggling to focus this month. Creative urges will lead to great places if you choose to trust and follow them. 

This month is calling for a greater sense of community, purpose, compassion and collaboration between all peoples. Collectively, this could be ugly at first before matters improve, since we are in the process of a huge collapse. Much of the darkness that is currently pressing on society has been going on for a long time, and now we are entering the phase where light is being shed on these shadows, to the degree that it cannot be ignored - only faced and transformed. Now is the time to become more involved in community matters and playing an active role in shaping the world through decision, visions, and actions. Get together with others, share ideas, support each other and focus on collaboration over separation.
