KittySol | Zodiac Muse: Season 3 – Episode 4 Podcast – Transcript


Monkey Full Moon | February 1st



February wastes no time with a full moon reaching peak illumination on February 1st at 2:10 PM, Pacific Time. The glow of the Monkey Moon sheds new light to brake-up shadow energy. In ancient symbolism when Monkey rides the Horse it brings a big shift in cultural context.

And why does this matter? With a Monkey moon jungle rules apply. Monkey is bold, brilliant and became a King because he broke the status quo. On this Monkey Moon the universe protects and promotes those who take the reigns and command power from out of nowhere.

Hi this is China Rose on the Zodiac Muse podcast. In this episode we’ll talk about the coming Tiger Ring of Fire eclipse and the Fire Horse Lunar New Year plus projections for each Zodiac sign in the coming Fire Horse year. Stay to the end for a round-up of the cosmic calendar on the Kittysol.com website. Thanks for being here -now let’s roll on February’s cosmic events.


February | Free Zone



Are you a Tiger? Do you love Tigers? January was almost to much to bear. The cosmic stampede in the Ox has left a lot to be desired. But February begins with the Sun in the Tiger. And Tiger is a breath of fresh air that alters the course to pull us out of a rut.

Regal Tiger is King in the Zodiac. Big Cats, fat cats and wild cats, Tiger is the pinnacle on the Zodiac sphere. Team Tiger now hosts planetoid Pluto away from the glitterati that Tiger often commands. For more than a decade to come Pluto will be a rock in a hard place in Tiger’s way.

Most of the time Pluto seems unforgiving and difficult to manage. This is true and yet the revelations of this distant, cold, dark, icy, realm presents a large heart-shaped feature called Sputnik Planitia. Through it all Pluto gives us the power in hard times to find our hearts.


Annual Flying Star | 2026



Annual Flying Stars (fields of energy) send the lucky Money, Love and Miracle 1 Star to the Heart center palace in 2026. The Fire element of the Horse is good for the heart but comes with extremes. The One Star can help to reduce the excess and harmonize the elements.

The current trend to throw-out-the-babe-with-the-bath-water has not proven productive. What does that even mean? For the last 2 years we have been living in the Fire 9 Mountain cycle. It burns hot and runs fast. A quest for change at-all-costs, becomes daunting and destructive.

The Miracle 1 Star in the Heart Center will tame the fire to provide support. The era of Industry gave rise to the Age of the Machine. Yet humans do not move at a mechanized pace. This year we slow the runaway nature of the 9 Star to make it’s presence useful.


Monthly Flying Stars | 2026



On February 4th the Annual Flying Stars change as well as the Monthly Flying Stars. The Flying Star method of divination and its Art of Placement is ancient by many thousands of years. It built dynasties that have stood the test of time to be a lasting and useful legacy for humanity.

But it’s complexity is confusing. One way to understand this process is to know that the cycles of harmony and conflict resolve around the 5 Earthly elements. These Elements are the change-makers. They are utilized for greatest benefits in a layered hierarchy that governs it.

The Universal positions are the foundation. The 20 year Mountain Star is the direction it faces. Annual Stars provide structure for tone and texture on the over arching framework and Annual Stars give us the ingredients to work with. The Monthly Stars are the tools we use to shape it.


Tiger Ring of Fire | Lunar Eclipse



February 17th mighty Tiger will host a Ring of Fire, Total Solar eclipse at 4:03 AM, Pacific Time. What can we expect from this intense cosmic expression? It’s a cross-over moment. A double Part of Fortune straddles the Ascendant. Values and money will find a new equilibrium.

And there is a colossal pile-up of magical energy. A solid pack of 8 planets and aspects are compacted rolling through Tiger, Hare and into Dragon’s realm. Like a cork in a bottle the front load of this is cosmic traffic is Saturn and Neptune sitting at Zero leading into Dragon’s cave.

Behind Dragon’s front line is Mercury. But before Mercury can blast past the blockage he spins backward into retrograde motion. This full throttle reversal will then roll-over every cosmic body he just zoomed past. Tiger ROF opens a portal akin to an escape hatch into new horizons.


Fire Horse | Lunar New Year



Following the Tiger Ring of Fire eclipse Venus in the Hare will cross the Node and the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Red Fire Horse begins. What is a Red Fire Horse? The Red Fire Horse is a Yang sign with a Yang element of Fire signified by its Red color. Horses are supernatural.

The Red Fire horse is a Peach Blossom sign for Snake, Ox and Bird (the Phoenix, Rooster) these signs are highly favored this year. Horse is in the Power Triad with Tiger and Dog. And Horse’s Super Buddy and mate is the Goat sign. A Fire Horse is famous for being famous.

This year celebrity for the sake of celebrity is not enough. It’s become hallow and obsolete. Substance is required. What was once popular falls out of Vogue and new trends are quick to evolve. On the Feng Shui compass Horse sits South for fame and promotion. It’s a strong year for PR, the legal professions and the clothes horse rides side saddle in the fashion industry.


Ming Horse



In February our design focus features the new Ming Horse iPhone case. When Success can’t wait carry the Ming Horse iPhone case to give you an added, lucky advantage. You’ll find the link on KittySol.com to order your Ming Horse iPhone case on Amazon: Ming Horse iPhone case.


A Fire Horse happens once every 60 years in the big cycle of the Chinese Zodiac based on the 5 Elements: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth with the Heavenly Stem: Yin or Yang. Is you Sun sign in Gemini? Then you are born in the month of the Horse. Were you born in 1966?

1966 is the last year the Red Fire Horse was born on Earth. This year the new fire colts born will be leggy and looking for adventure. Horse is a beloved sign but things can get out of hand quickly in the Fire Horse year so be keen on what’s truly important and hold the line.

By nature Horses are skittish, popular and talented. They respect those who respect them. They often run in a pack. At times Horses can be long suffering and will chomp at the bit if forced to wait or feel held back. The Fire Horse has an insatiable appetite so keep the feed bag nearby.


Sun in Hare



Mercury will enter the Hare the 6th of February. Lady Luck Venus enters the Hare on the11th. Our Lady of Good Fortunes is exalted in the Hare. Mercury and Venus cross the Node promoting positively wonderful results. Bunny business is hopping and popping in February.

On February 18th the Sun enters the Hare and then crosses the Node. It’s all good. After that things start to go sideways when Mercury goes retrograde. In a pivotal cosmic event Mercury will cross back over Venus in reverse mode. This is bad news bears as luxury takes a hit.

Consequences are harsh. But caution is advised because Mercury in retro motion will return forward revealing things we don’t know yet. Try not to sign important documents, feel regrets or rekindle an old romance as this plays out in the coming weeks. Stay poised and take care.


Mercury Retrograde | February 2026



The first Mercury Retrograde event begins in the Hare on February 26th and lasts until March 20th. Mercury in the Hare is a rough patch on our soft souls. Messenger Mercury is a Demi God who represents youth with his mercurial quicksilver.

When Mercury is retrograde its time to redo, refresh and reset. But avoid starting anything new-new and take extra time for travel or plans that go askew. Winged Mercury affects travel, commerce and the courts. We may expect a certain outcome that turns in another direction.

When the unexpected steals your thunder the best thing you can do is keep the door open to another chance. Don’t finalize or agonize. The Mercury events are always coming and going. Just don’t second guess or bet the farm. Clean out your closet and take a rain check.


Fire Horse | Zodiac Guide



Here is your Zodiac Guide to the Fire Horse year for each Zodiac sign with your Flying Stars and “how stars align” for planets and aspects in February. You’ll find links for the suggested Feng Shui lucky charms on the KittySol.com website transcript.

The biggest take-away for the Fire Horse year is that trends ignite fast but are exhausted quickly. Pace yourself to avoid burnout and manage extremes. Fire rules sight and attaches to to burn brightly so don’t give attention to what’s not wanted. This year create a vision for yourself that goes beyond your limitations.

Stay to the end of this episode for the February cosmic round-up and preview highlights for March. There’s also a link to the Google calendar that’s new this year. Thank you for being here. Stay tuned to the Zodiac Muse podcast and KittySol.com to find how stars align for you.


Rat | Sagittarius



What can Rats expect in a Horse year? Rat sits in opposition to the Horse. Rat this year will feel the tug of polarity. This means you’ll notice things that are completely different and feel them more acutely. Often this is a discomfort but you can convert it to casual curiosity.

Lilith is in the Rat now for the better part of the coming year. Lilith is the Goddess of the underworld and she’s the Dark Moon lady. Usually Lilith isn’t any trouble unless she touches something in your Natal or Solar return chart. She magnifies and manages life altering stuff.

In 2026 Rat has the Annual Victory 6 Star providing a leg-up on the competition and bringing ships to shore with extra treasures. In February Rat has the Monthly Peach Blossom 4 Star making this a banner month of good fortunes. Use the Lucky Money bag Horse on your desk or decor to activate this positive star energy.


Ox | Capricorn



What can Ox expect in a Horse year? The Red Fire Horse is the Peach Blossom sign for the Ox. Do you need a introduction for extra work, changing careers or want to meet someone special? Peach Blossom signs are the puzzle pieces to get us to the next step in life.

This networking advantage delivers the Zodiac Holy Trinity: serendipity, synchronicity and spontaneity. When you need something to click even when we may not realize it a door opens, someone puts in a good word or point us in the right direction. Red Horse is your mentor and coach to help you reach your goals.

In 2026 Ox has the Annual Peach Blossom 4 Star and in February the Monthly Illness 2 Star. The year will be favored for social luck, academics, certifications and awards. This month get extra rest to reduce stress. Use a special Wu Lou charm in 2026 to activate good fortunes.


Tiger | Aquarius



What can Tiger expect in a Horse year? Tiger is in the Power Triad with Horse and Dog signs. You can expect to be busy leading the way. Tiger is wildly favored in a Horse year and there’s a lot you can accomplish. Be ready for action but take things in stride as the world is always catching up to Tigers.

Tiger will have the Sun, Mars and Pluto this month but things are not static. On February 17th Tiger hosts a “Ring of Fire” New Moon, Solar Eclipse. The New Moon energy is potent but fades fast as the Sun and Moon move on to the Hare sign the next day. Mars hangs around to keep Big Cats motivated until March begins.

In 2026 Tiger has the Annual Peach Blossom 4 Star for social luck and in February the Monthly Illness 2 Star. The year Tiger will succeed in promoting projects. But this month get extra rest to avoid illness or injury. Use a special Wu Lou charm in 2026 to activate good fortunes.


Hare | Pisces



What can Hare expect in a Horse year? The Hare and Horse have a special alchemy. It’s because the Green Rabbit is the Horse’s Peach Blossom sign. So Bunny is the bringer of good fortunes for the Horse. This will keep Hare in the know on the go and in the flow.

The Hare calendar is buzzing this month. It’s a celestial brew house of plots, twists and turns to navigate for the entire month of February. On the 6th Mercury enters the Hare. On the 10th Venus is exalted entering the Hare. On the 11th Mercury crosses the Node and then Venus crosses the Node on the 17th. These are all positive events.

Then on the 18th the Sun enters the Hare. Happy Birthday Bunnies! The 25th on the West coast or (26th on the East coast, Quicksilver Mercury goes Retrograde until Mar 20th. The Sun crosses the Node on the 27th and the same day retro Mercury crosses Venus causing distress.

In 2026 Lucky Hare has the Annual Infinity 8 Star of Wealth and in February the Monthly Victory 6 Star. This gives Hare bonus luck and extra special favors as needed. This year the Lucky Rabbit can increase fortunate opportunities with the Blue Abacus charm.


Dragon | Aries



What can Dragon expect in a Horse year? The Dragon Horse combination is a rare and benevolent creature known as the Chi Lin or Kir Lin. Not all Dragon’s evolve to express this mystical power. The Horse and Dragon combo in a Zodiac wheelhouse is not common. However in a year where these two blend you can tap this prized energy.

Planetoid Chiron is still cruising through the Dragon providing new modes of doing with specialized tools and tricks. February 13th Saturn joins Neptune at Dragon’s door and on the 20th these two reach a peak conjunction which briefly happened last year. Now it’s for keeps.

Saturn crosses over Neptune as they enter the Dragon for the coming years. This changes everything dramatically. Accountability, truth-telling, integrity and soothsaying in real terms are back on the menu. Dragon will not cotton to Neptune spinning any yarn.

In 2026 Dragon’s Annual Wish Fulfillment 9 Star and the February Monthly Danger 7 Star are complex to navigate. The Ripening star is about harvesting Wishes and the Danger Star is about avoiding risk that can lead to calamity and chaos. Good luck with that. This year use the Wave Pearl Wealth Amulet to ward off trouble and restore good fortunes.


Snake | Taurus



What can Snake expect in a Horse year? Snake benefits in a Fire Horse year because the Red Fire Horse is the Peach Blossom sign for the Mystic Triad. Horse will ride to the rescue anytime Snake needs a special favor. The Mystic Triad is Serpent the Soothsayer, Ox the Shaman and Bird the Evangelist.

On February 3rd Uranus goes direct in the Snake. This will tone down the chaos factor. The same day is a 30 day point to a coming March, Full Blood Moon Total Lunar eclipse in the Bird sign. Snake can expect psychic revelations regarding this pivotal event.

In 2026 Snake has the Annual Wish Fulfillment 9 Star and in February the Monthly Danger 7 Star is a challenging combination. Harvest your good while its ready and for the Danger Star avoid any kind of risk as things can get out of control quick. This coming year use the Wave Pearl Wealth Amulet to ward off trouble and restore good fortunes.


Horse | Gemini



February 17th begins the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. It’s a double Fire (element) and double Yang year. Home in the South on the compass the Fire element conflicts with Water. The Water element puts Fire out. Double yang is pure masculine energy which can be dangerous and harsh. But not without its Achilles heel.

Horse can be long suffering. Do not play into their woes and whiny, whims. On the upside Horse is a friend who socializes with ease and public speaker who commands an audience. Ponies are fun and alluring with a naturally magnetic charm. Their claim to fame won the West on the Pony express. Horses have been making history in all parts of the world since civilization began.

What can Horses expect in a Horse year? Horses come in a range of flavors. Both rustic and refined. Their rustic tastes are refined and their refinement is rustic. Yes, my Zodiac friends Horses are a contradiction. But it’s the kind of contradiction that builds suspense and surprise.

Digging in the dirt might yield a summer bouquet of beauty and bounty or a Pulitzer prize for a riveting article. You never know what you’ll get when Horses take the lead which makes it all-that more wonderful and exciting.

In high risk environments use extreme caution in these volatile times. The Yellow Earth Horse is the only Horse known for its exceptional fidelity and loyalty. All other males are studs in the barnyard. The Mare’s rise to glory is renown for being gentle and kind.

In 2026 the Annual Star for Horse is the Accident 5 Star and the February Monthly Star is the Fighting 3 Star. It’s a ragged combination of afflictions that produce a rough start to the Horse year. Be sure to cure these Stars and put off any big life altering change until next month. Horse can cure the Sha Chi with a 5 Element Pagoda charm while protecting your good prospects.


Goat | Cancer



What can Goats expect in a Horse year? Goat and Horse are Super buddies and best mates. These two are perfectly synced for maximum creativity. Often able to work together and have a personal relationship as spouses, relatives, best friends or just great business partners. These two are peas in a pod. Goat’s year will be spirited, fun and lively.

Jupiter in the Goat is retrograde until March 11th. When Jupiter is retrograding Goats can be introspective and retrospective. The past is water under the bridge but ambitious Kids can look for ways rebuild alliances. Goats know where they’re going by charting their course daily.

In 2026 Goat has the Annual Danger 7 Star which pretty much rules out any big renovations or remodeling. In February the Goat has the Monthly Accident 5 Star. This is a tough-luck configuration. Cure these Stars with mindful charms to reduce risk. The Taoist Sword Mudra charm is an excellent choice. Carry it with you.


Monkey | Leo



What can Monkey expect in a Horse year? Horse and Monkey have no special inroads or playing cards on the table but when Monkey rides the Horse it’s a very lucky special. Monkey will likely feel they are way-out in left field wasting time. Don’t let this fool you.

This year opportunities escalate rapidly out of nowhere. To be the one who either catches the ball or fails to grasp the situation requires focus. A great save or missed pitch? It’s up to Monkey. This lucky special brings Winner’s Luck. Prepare and stay aware for happen chance.

On February 1st Monkey will host an auspicious Full Moon bringing things to fruition. After that things calm down as Monkey will not have any planets or aspects at present.

In 2026 Monkey has the Annual Danger 7 Star so avoid risk as a fail safe. It is ill-advised to renovate or excavate this year. In February Monkey has the Monthly Accident 5 Star. These are tough luck aspects. This year Carry a Dharma protection sword charm for peace and good fortunes to be stable and lasting.


Bird | Virgo



What can Birds expect in a Horse year? Bird and Horse are another lucky special combination. Known as the Flying Horse of Gansu this Bird Horse is part of a collection found in an opulent Han Dynasty tomb.

This unique celestial Horse and Bird sculpture depicts a rare horse bred outrunning a swift bird. It is a mark of status and skill. A masterpiece of the Silk Road many thousands of years ago that speaks of romance, harmony and tradition of its era.

Lucky Bird is also part of the Mystic Triad with Snake and Ox. The Peach Blossom sign for the Mystic Triad is the Red Fire Horse. Bird will have a year of exceptional good fortunes that evolve out of the ordinary. Bird has no planets or aspects at this time.

This year Bird has the Annual Fighting 3 Star which can be contentious and troublesome. Not a year to be harping or hyping anything. It’s best to demure and stay quiet. In February the Monthly Star is the Miracle Love and Money 1 Star. This sparkle star supplies the power of the small that grows into a big deal. Cure the Fighting Star with a Fireball charm, Ksiddigarbha.


Dog | Libra



What can Dogs expect in a Horse year? Of course Dog is extremely well positioned in a Horse year as part of Horse’s Power Triad with the Tiger. But the duty Dog pulls may be a lot less glamorous then you think. Fire Horse runs to trouble instead of away from it.

Dogs can get caught up in over zealous band wagons. Avoid signing on to every new trend. Balance the cycles of harmony and conflict to promote the “missing element”. This year it’s water so go with the flow not the blaze of glory. Wait for clear signals before participation.

The spark of enthusiasm can be infectious. Temper aspirations with grounded energy and peaceful solutions. Dogs need lots of training to remain focused and on task. It’s a superb year to update your skills base or find a hobby horse to play with.

In 2026 Dog has the Annual Illness 2 Star that can wear you down and run you ragged. Rest and reflect to find stability. In February Dog’s Monthly Star is the Wish Fulfillment 9 Star. Harvest your good fortunes as they crop up. Dogs can use the Gourd Charm to cure and protect.


Pig | Scorpio



What can Pigs expect in a Horse year? The Pig and Pony show is a friend, of a friend thing. Tiger is Pig’s Super Buddy and part of the Horse’s Power Triad. So when in need or as the mood strikes, (for something Pig’s can bank on) network with your Zodiac friends.

There are no planets or aspects for the Pigs at this time. It’s smooth sailing with a hint of clarity for the coming Tiger Ring of Fire eclipse. Keep doing what you do and don’t stop. The band will play on in a Fire Horse year come Hell and high water. Be a happy spectator to avoid the drama.

In 2026 Pig has the Annual Illness 2 Star. This can be a drag on your system. Pull back and par down. February Monthly Star is the Wish Fulfillment 9. This delivers happy results. Use the Lucky Wu Lou charm amulet with auspicious symbols to protect your good fortunes all year.
