Forecast for 2026

At last, 2025 is over!  For some, it was a good year with good memories.  For some, not so good.  Memorable, yes, but not good memories.  For others, probably most, just another year with ups and downs.

What about 2026?  Will it be different?  Yes, in some ways.  2025 was a “9” year (2+0+2+5=9), the end of a cycle, symbolizing a year for finishing things in preparation for 2026, a “1” year (2+0+2+6=10; 1+0=1), the beginning of a new cycle, symbolizing a year for starting new things.  For reference, the previous “9” year was 2016 (2+0+1+6=9), and the previous “1” year was 2017 (2+0+1+7=10; 1+0=1).  Did you start or acquire something in 2017 that culminated, ended, was sold, or disposed of in 2025?  If so, that is the essence of these nine-year recurring cycles.

 So, will 2026 be better? Will it feel different?  In many ways, probably not, as there is a lot of energy and dynamics that are carrying over.  With most long cycles, things don’t make sharp changes; they flow as one year fades away and the new year grows and takes over. 

Forecast for February 2026

February comes from the Latin februum, meaning “purification,” from the ancient Roman purification ritual “Februa,” held at the February Full Moon, which this year falls on February 1. 

These are some of the known major astronomical events for February.  (Note: astronomical and astrological events are the same, astrology just adds an additional interpretation to them.  It gets off to a big start with two oppositions, including the Leo Full “Snow Moon” on the 1st, followed by two more oppositions and two quincunxes by the Moon on the 2nd.  While there will be no exact major aspects on the 3rd, there will be 3 quincunxes and Uranus will station direct.  On the 5th Mercury will go void-of-course and then enter Pisces on the 6th as the 2026 Winter Olympics officially open.  The Moon will make 3 major and 3 quincunx aspects on the 7th.  Venus will go void-of-course on the 9th and then enter Pisces on the 10th, wrapping up the first ten days of February. 

02-01-26 – 4:06 am – fast Moon fixed opposition Mars

The only aspects today are two Leo to Aquarius oppositions by the Moon.  Those with planets or other sensitive points from 5 to 15 Leo or Aquarius are the most likely to feel the effects of these oppositions.  With fixed fire Leo activated and fueled by fixed air Aquarius, this could be a “combustible” day for some.  Fire needs air to survive and thrive, and Aquarius has plenty to provide. 

This first one is from the Moon at 7 Leo 07’ to Mars at 7 Aquarius 07’ and marks the midpoint of their current cycle which began at their most recent conjunction January 18, 2026, at 26 Capricorn.  If you don’t remember, there were a total of five conjunctions that day by the Moon, including the New Moon at 28 Capricorn 44’.  Did you start anything new on January 18?  If so, how is it developing?  What should your next action be to keep it on track on moving forward?  It’s time to “push it over the line” and work on getting it completed. 

02/01/26 – 2:09 pm – fast Full Moon fixed opposition Sun

This Full “Snow” Moon is at 13 Leo 04’.  While this may relate back to any new thing you may have started on January 18, it may also relate back to a longer term project, or something started and then set aside from around the time of the New Moon of August 4, 2024.  Does that date remind you of anything?  The Sabian Symbol for 13 Leo is “Cherub like, a human soul whispers, seeking to manifest.”  This suggests that it is time to listen to your inner voice.  There is potential here to manifest something that could transform your life.  It is time to be still and listen, pay attention to your surroundings.  Close your eyes and “see.”. Be quiet and listen to the sound of the world around you and your own voice in your head.  There is wisdom within. 

Tomorrow offers two more oppositions to start the day and keep this balancing energy flowing. 

02/02/26 – 1:56 am – decelerating Moon fixed opposition Venus

Venus is about the people and things we love and desire.  The Moon is about protecting those people and things.  Note any dreams, sudden realizations, insights, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking.  They are your subconscious talking to you, trying to get your attention. 

02/02/26 – 5:55 am – decelerating Moon fixed opposition Mercury

Mercury is about how and what we think about, how we communicate and the messages and information that we choose or need to share.  What was your first thought on waking up?  Are you in balance mentally? 

02/02/26 – 2:55 pm – decelerating Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waxing fixed crisis of action square to retrograde Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost 4 1/2 hours.  Time to focus on whatever you may be working on.  Set aside any new things until after the Moon enters Virgo.  Got a new idea, write it down, then get back to your work.  Let the idea ferment for now. 

Almost 2 1/2 hours later (5:20 pm), the decelerating Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to shadow Saturn.  This is the last aspect before their opposition.  You may want to take a few minutes to review your day and what you have accomplished.  Make sure that you have followed the rules, dotted all the “i’s” and crossed all the “t’s” so you won’t have to re-do anything. 

02/02/26 – 7:21 pm – decelerating Moon enters mutable earth Virgo

Considered to be the critical, analytical, and rather unemotional sign, be sure to engage your brain before making any decisions.  If you can’t be your own critic, then ask a trusted truth-telling friend to be honest with you.  When criticizing others, be constructive, offer suggestions for how they might do it differently. 

Only 21 minutes after entering Virgo (7:42 pm), the decelerating Moon will make another waxing inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Neptune.  Pause, reflect, is there anything that you overlooked or forgot to do today?  Have you been avoiding or trying to hide something from others or yourself?  This evening may be the time to confront it and deal with it.  If you can’t do it tonight, make a plan to deal with it tomorrow morning. 

02/03/26 – 1:59 am – decelerating Moon waning inconjunct/ quincunx Pluto

This day may be full of surprises as there will be three quincunxes but no exact major aspects today.  Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking.  There is value in them. 

Just over nine hours later (11:06 am), the average Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Mars.  Did you learn anything or get any ideas from your dreams or other insights?  This surprise just might provide the answer or guidance you are seeking as Mars is about action, what to do, get rid of, or how to acquire something. 

02/03/26 – 6:33 pm – Uranus stations Direct

Uranus is at 27 Taurus 28’, as He appears to pause for several days before resuming His apparent direct forward motion.  Uranus has been at 27 Taurus since December 30, 2025, and won’t leave 27 for 28 Taurus until March 10, that’s another five weeks.  Those with planets or sensitive points at 26-28 Taurus may be feeling this the strongest.  If you’ve been feeling something since New Year’s Eve or day, and it seems like it is getting stronger, this may be it.  Know that in the weeks ahead, the feeling should begin to resolve. 

The Sabian Symbol for 27 Taurus is “A mature woman, reawakened to romance.”  Does this symbol relate to what is happening in your life or what you may be feeling?  This symbol relates to second chances for yourself, for others that used to be in your life, and for new people coming into your life, who like you, are in search of a second chance at romance, success, happiness, or whatever you or they are seeking. 

Over four hours later (10:50 pm), the average Moon will make the third and final waning inconjunct/quincunx of the day, this one to the Sun.  It may be nighttime in the western hemisphere, but it’s daytime in the eastern.  It is only two days since the Leo Full Moon and so there should be plenty of moonlight tonight.  As the Moon reflects the Sun’s light down on you tonight, embrace the shadows and what that light may reveal. 

02/04/26 – 1:37 am – average Moon waxing sextile retrograde Jupiter

This is their first aspect since their conjunction January 30, 2026.  Did you start any “big” or important projects around that date?  Whatever you may have started around that time, how is it developing?  It’s time to decide what you need to do next to keep it moving forward. 

Eleven hours later (12:37 pm), the average Moon will make a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Venus.  Surprise!  Did you forget to do something?  Or perhaps it is the “perfect” answer to a question that you haven’t even asked yet. 

02/04/26 – 8:49 pm – average Moon waxing earth trine Uranus

This is Uranus’s first aspect since stationing.  He is rebuilding His energy as He ever so slowly begins His true forward motion.  This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine.  Your focus should be on newer work in progress to assure that the actions you have taken are having the results that you expected and they are continuing to move forward. 

Just over one hour earlier (7:39 pm), the average Moon made a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Mercury.  This could manifest as a sudden idea, insight, or answer to a question that has been puzzling you.  You may not “see” it coming, but you should know it if it happens. 

02/04/26 – 11:49 pm – average Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a mutable opposition to shadow Saturn, the Moon goes void-of-course for less than two hours, entering Libra at 1:33 am tomorrow.  Ask yourself, do I feel out of balance in any way or area of my life?  If the answer is yes, what do you need to do to get it back into balance?  You may need to “sleep on it,” and allow the answer to come to you in the night.  Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night.  Did something wake you as the Moon entered Libra?  If so, note the time and what it was.  The shift from mutable earthy, critical, analytical Virgo to cardinal air, sharing, and others oriented Libra can be felt by some.  Don’t worry if you aren’t one of them, as most won’t feel it. 

02/05/26 – 2:02 am – average Moon cardinal opposition Neptune

This is another fire and air thing with each complementing the other; but with both cardinal action oriented signs, you may have to make a choice as to which action to take.  With Neptune, Lord of dreams involved, His natural affinity for water, which can put out fire or be whipped into a storm surge by the windy air, neither choice may feel acceptable. 

02/05/26 – 4:14 am – Mercury waning fixed square Uranus

With three waning aspects, today you may want to focus on older work in progress or other work that needs to be completed soon, this week, next week, or this month.  This is the crisis of consciousness square.  Time to be thinking about what the finished project should be, what to keep and what to let go of.  What adds value and what doesn’t. 

Following this, Mercury goes void-of-course for about 34 1/2 hours, until entering Pisces tomorrow afternoon.  A Mercury void-of-course may feel like a Mercury retrograde; however, the big difference is that the void-of-course doesn’t give you a do-over, it’s a one and done.  Say something wrong, and you may not get a chance to correct it or explain yourself.  Somethings that break can be repaired while others cannot.  However, sometimes the parts of the broken “thing” can be used in other things, things that may even be better than the original.  Don’t throw the pieces away until you consider whether they may still have value or be of use. 

Almost four hours later (8:09 am), the Sun will make a waxing inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Jupiter.  What surprise might the two big guys have in store?  Where is this happening in your chart and what, if any, aspects do they make to your planets and points?  Therein may be the answer to your question. 

02/05/26 – 8:45 am – slowing Moon waning air trine Pluto

This is the pause and plan your next actions trine.  While this suggests that you focus should be on older work, the pause and plan can be applied to whatever you are working on.  If you don’t have a plan, how will you know what to do next?  Whether your actions were successful?  When you are in fact done? 

02/05/26 – 10:00 pm – slowing Moon waning air trine Mars

It’s another pause and plan your next actions trine.  Unless you’re working late, this is probably an opportunity to make plans for tomorrow.  Put it to good use. 

02/06/26 – 9:21 am – slowing Moon waxing cardinal square retrograde Jupiter

This crisis of action square relates to anything new you started around their conjunction January 30.  With Jupiter retrograde you need to proceed with caution.  Don’t bet on going big as it probably won’t work as you expect.  Break the big into smaller doable steps.  This will make it easier to make adjustments if you need to without having to start over. 

02/06/26 – 11:49 am – slowing Moon waning air trine Sun

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  Whether you are working on stuff that has an upcoming deadline or newer work, planning helps to eliminate missed steps or overlooking something.  This energy should continue throughout the rest of the day as this is the last aspect today. 

02/06/26 – 2:48 pm – Mercury enters Pisces

As Mercury moves into Pisces, the sign of their detriment, they become weaker.  Some may feel more confusion when engaging in mental activities or conversations.  Adapt and manage.  This should be made easier as Pisces is the mutable water sign.  Mercury’s previous transit of Pisces was from February 14, 2025, to March 3, 2025.  The transit before that was from February 22, 2024, to March 9, 2024.  What was happening in your life then?  Can you identify a common theme with those two periods?  While there should be similarities now with the prior transits, don’t expect them to be the same.  During the void-of-course you might use the time to edit, review, or work on any writing projects that you have started.  Remember to go with the flow as mutable water seeks the path of least resistance. 

02/07/26 – 3:59 am – slow Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning air trine to Venus, the slow Moon goes void-of-course for over seven hours, until entering fixed water Scorpio at 11:13 am.  Some may feel this shift from the do it, work with others energy of cardinal air Libra, into cold, still energy of fixed water, I haven’t forgotten Scorpio.  This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  Coming in the night, you may receive a message in a dream, a sight, sound, feeling or other sensation.  Note it, the time, what it was, with as much detail as you can. 

Today offers a bit of a mixed bag with three exact major and three quincunx aspects.  This could have some feeling out of balance or just off.  About 2 1/4 hours later (6:13 am), while the Moon is void-of-course, She will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to Uranus.  This is the last aspect before the opposition.  The surprise may have to do with something that is out of balance in your life.  It is early Saturday morning so be sure to note any dreams, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking. 

Over 3 1/2 hours later (9:53 am), She will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to shadow Saturn.  This is the first aspect after the opposition.  Look for a connection between now and earlier this morning.  Is there a common theme, place, or person?  Perhaps something isn’t as ready to be completed as you think it is. 

Waning aspects continue throughout the rest of the day, suggesting you should be focusing on older projects that need to be completed.  Since it is Saturday, if you aren’t at work, you may want to concentrate on ongoing projects at home. 

Just 40 minutes after entering Scorpio (11:53 am), the Moon will make another waning inconjunct/quincunx, this time to Neptune.  Perhaps something you have misremembered or forgotten will be revealed.  Or something you believe to be true will be revealed to be false or vice versa. 

02/07/26 – 2:39 pm – slow Moon waning water trine Mercury

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  Keep your wits about you and focus on the task at hand.  Don’t skip any steps, and don’t expect anyone to do it for you.  Engage your brain, consider your options before making a decision, and taking action. 

02/07/26 – 6:59 pm – slow Moon waning fixed square Pluto

This is the crisis of consciousness square that you should have been planning for, as it naturally follows the waning trine.  What action have you planned?  Time to put it into action. 

02/08/26 – 1:49 am – Venus waning fixed square Uranus

It is another crisis of consciousness square, but with this pair, you may want to rethink your planned action.  Trust your intuition, even if it seems weird or “crazy.”  With Uranus involved, it just might work.  Be sure to note any dreams, insights, messages, feelings, or other sensations that may come to you during the night or on waking. 

02/08/26 – 12:53 pm – slow Moon waning fixed square Mars

Here comes another one, not quite like the other ones as Mars enters the fray.  Mars is very action-oriented, but whatever your action, keep it under control, avoid impulsive decisions. 

02/08/26 – 3:30 pm – Super Bowl LX Scheduled

Based on the chart for Santa Clara, CA, at this time, I’m going to say advantage Seattle.  Why?  Seattle is the designated visitor while Boston (New England) is the designated home team.  The home team is represented by the I/C (4th house cusp), which is in the North or bottom portion of the chart, houses 1-6, while the South, or top portion of the chart, houses 7-12, represents the visiting team.  Nine of the ten planets are in the South, while only one is in the North.  Additionally, New England is from the East, represented by the left side of the chart, houses 10-12 and 1-3.  Seattle is from the West, represented by the right side of the chart, houses 4-9.  There are only two planets in the East side of the chart with eight planets in the West side of the chart, advantage Seattle. 

This may be an over-simplification, but let’s see if it works.  If it doesn’t, oh well.  But if it does, give the credit to astrology. 

02/08/26 – 8:10 pm – slow Moon waxing water trine retrograde Jupiter

This is the pause and review of any recent actions trine.  With Jupiter looking back (retrograde), you might want to start by reviewing your day, what you accomplished and what you still need to do.  You may also want to look back on yesterday or even last week at work and consider what you need to do tomorrow. 

02/09/26 – 4:43 am – slow Moon waning fixed square Sun

It’s an early morning crisis of consciousness square to get your day started.  If something wakes you early, be sure to note the time and what it was with as much detail as possible.  It is suggested that whatever actions you are planning on taking, focus on eliminating things that don’t add value to the final product.  You may need to split your focus as there is another aspect in about 1 1/2 hours. 

02/09/26 – 6:16 am – slow Moon fixed opposition Uranus

How are you feeling this morning?  Do things feel a bit off?  With Uranus just coming out of apparent retrograde, He has a lot of stored up energy that He is using to get back up to forward speed.  This can cause a feeling of discomfort or of being off balance for some.  Take time to ground and center yourself so you can feel what, if anything might be off balance.  If something is, fix it. 

02/09/26 – 9:28 am – slow Moon goes Out-of-Bounds South

As She crosses 23 Scorpio 07’, the Moon once again slips below the southern boundary of the Sun.  The south symbolizes the past.  For some, things, people, memories from their past may come up in the days ahead. 

02/09/26 – 10:33 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning water trine shadow Saturn

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  What is on your agenda for tomorrow?  That should probably be your next action.  With Saturn involved any action will need to be appropriate and consistent with your code. 

02/09/26 – 11:01 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning fixed square Venus

Following this crisis of consciousness square, both go void-of-course.  It is late, and unless you are at work, this will most likely pertain to what you have to do tomorrow.  Sleep on it and note any dreams, insights, sounds, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking. 

The Moon’s void-of-course will only last 21 minutes until She enters Sagittarius at 11:22 pm.  Coming at this time, not starting anything new should be relatively easy.  Venus’s will last just over three hours, until She enters Pisces tomorrow morning.  With a Venus void of course avoid any major financial purchase or other transactions.  You should also avoid starting a new relationship.  Neither of these should be that difficult at this time of night. 

02/10/26 – 12:12 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning fire trine Neptune

Coming at this time of night, this pause and plan your next action trine could have a message for you in a dream, insight, feeling, or other sensation.  Note anything that comes to you during the night or on waking. 

02/10/26 – 2:19 am – Venus enters mutable water Pisces

Here, Venus gains strength as She is exalted in Pisces.  For context, Her previous transit of Pisces was from January 2 to February 3, 2025.  Prior to that, She transited Pisces from March 11 to April 4, 2024.  What was happening in your life during those periods.  Don’t expect an exact replay, but they should give you an idea as to what Her current transit, which will only last until March 6, might be like for you. 

02/10/26 – 7:27 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Pluto

This is the finishing sextile.  Today looks to be a good day for completing things and for paring stuff down, for removing the superfluous and at least finishing your part of whatever you may be working on. 

02/10/26 – 1:02 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning mutable square Mercury

This period ends with a crisis of consciousness square.  Time to let go of things that are broken or don’t work anymore.  Whether it is a tool, an old pen with no ink, or a belief that is no longer true, let it go. 

02/11/26 – 12:01 am -Moon Wobble

It would seem that sometime during the night, a new Moon Wobble may begin.  Moon Wobbles happen when the Sun is either making a conjunction-opposition or a square to both nodes.  The period covers about 2 1/2 weeks as the Sun applies to an exact aspect and about 2 1/2 weeks as the Sun separates from the exact aspect.  During this period natural and man-made disasters may occur more frequently or be more extreme.  You should be more cautious, remain aware of your surroundings, pay attention to any alerts or warning signs of potential natural, or man-made chaos such as extreme storms, civil unrest, etc., and avoid those areas if possible.

 02/11/26 – 5:43 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Mars

This is the time to finish something sextile, so you may want to take advantage of this energy this morning.  While you are at it, give some thought to what, if anything new, you might want to start at their conjunction in about five days.

Just over 2 1/2 hours later (8:18 am), the Moon will make a waxing inconjunct/quincunx to retrograde Jupiter.  This is the last aspect before their opposition.  Does anything feel out of balance?  It’s time to start considering whatever you are working on, is it ready to move to the finishing consolidating phase?

02/11/26 – 2:12 pm – Mercury enters Their Shadow

As Mercury crosses 8 Pisces 29’, they enter the Shadow for their upcoming retrograde.  Mercury will station retrograde on February 25, at 22 Pisces 34’ and will then station direct on March 20, at 8 Pisces 29’.  This is the first of three Mercury retrogrades this year, each of them in succeeding water signs.  Their next retrograde will be in Cancer and their third will be in Scorpio, which will also be the shortest in length of time, but the longest in degrees of the Zodiac covered.

02/11/26 – 10:53 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Sun

It’s another time to finish something sextile.  Coming this late in the day, it could be suggesting that you take some time to review what you have accomplished today and what you need to finish tomorrow.  You may want to start with that in the morning.  You may also want to start planning what new thing you want to start at their conjunction in just over 5 days as that New Moon will also be a Solar Eclipse.

02/12/26 – 11:29 am – slow (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning crisis of consciousness square to shadow Saturn, the Moon goes void-of-course for just 15 minutes, until entering Capricorn at 11:44 am.  This waning square offers an opportunity to let go of the old, of things that no longer work, or aren’t adding value to whatever you may be working on.  If you focus on that, it shouldn’t be too difficult to not start anything new during the short void-of-course.

Five hours before the Moon entered Capricorn (6:44 am), She made a waning inconjunct/quincunx to Uranus.  Was this a surprise wakeup or something else?  What were you thinking or dreaming about at this time?  Note what it was with as much detail as you can.  There may be some helpful clues in it, whatever it was.

02/12/26 – 12:43 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning mutable square Neptune

It is another crisis of consciousness square.  What are you working or focusing on at this time?  What should your next step be to prepare it to be completed?

About 4 1/2 hours later (5:15 pm), Mars will make a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Jupiter.  What surprise can be expected from this pairing?  Hopefully, retrograde Jupiter will help to limit any excesses by Mars.

02/12/26 – 6:23 pm – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile Venus

It’s another finishing sextile to end the day.  You may want to take time to review what you accomplished today and then consider what you can finish tomorrow.  Don’t worry, you should have an opportunity to reconsider that plan later tomorrow morning. 

02/13/26 – 10:17 am – slow (OoBS) Moon waning sextile shadow Mercury

Today starts with another finish something sextile.  This should be an opportunity to reconsider any plans you may have made last evening.  You don’t have to change them, but with Mercury in their shadow, you may want to consider it.

02/13/26 – 4:11 pm – shadow Saturn returns to Aries

This sets up Saturn’s complete transit of Aries as He will not return to Pisces until April 16, 2052.  If you are going to feel it, but you haven’t yet, you should start to feel it now, the “it” being the Saturn Neptune conjunction one week from today.  Those with planets or other sensitive points at or near 0-1 of Aries or one of the other cardinal signs, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn may feel this the strongest. 

02/13/26 – 7:28 pm – accelerating (OoBS) Moon cardinal opposition retrograde Jupiter

The Moon and Jupiter have been here before.  Old or even recent issues, ones that you may have thought were completed, may come up again throwing you off balance.  You dealt with this before, you can do it again.

02/14/26 –     HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!

02/14/26 – 5:31 pm – accelerating (OoBS) Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning earth trine to Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for almost five hours, until entering Aquarius at 10:17 pm.  Coming at this time it may be a bit easier not to start anything new.  If something comes up, set it aside until after the Moon enters Aquarius.  Till then, you may want to take time to consider what your next actions should be.

02/14/26 – 9:57 pm – accelerating Moon returns In-Bounds

As She crosses 29 Capricorn 50’, She will once again return into the southern boundary set by the Sun.  Some may experience this as a feeling of less stress, or uncertainty, a return to normalcy.

Just 37 minutes later (10:33 pm), the accelerating Moon will make a waning sextile to shadow Saturn.  Today wraps up with a pair of waning finish something sextiles.  You may choose to take a few minutes to review your day and what you were able to do, whether something was completed or not.

Less than an hour later (11:22 pm), the Moon will make another waning sextile, this time to Neptune, the last aspect of Valentine’s Day.  If you are still awake, you might want to consider if there is something you can complete tomorrow.  Be sure to note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations you may have during the night or on waking.

02/15/26 –6:10 am – accelerating Moon fixed air conjunction Pluto

It is early Sunday morning.  What new thing do you want to start today?  Perhaps a new exercise or health program such as Tai Chi walking or chair yoga.  Pluto expects us to be the very best version of ourselves that we can be.

02/15/26 – 9:02 pm – Sun waning fixed square Uranus

Coming late, this crisis of consciousness square may be about what you need to do tomorrow.  With the first aspect tomorrow being a conjunction, this combination may be offering a new way to get past something that has been “blocking” you from moving your work closer to completion.

02/16/26 – 10:09 am – average Moon fixed air conjunction Mars

It’s Monday morning, what new thing do you want to start today?  With Mars involved, some kind of action is in order.  Last night’s square suggests taking action to “trim” down what you are working on to its essential parts.  Eliminate that which doesn’t add value or isn’t required.

Almost six hours earlier (4:15 am), the average Moon made a waning inconjunct/ quincunx to retrograde Jupiter.  This is their first aspect following their opposition.  Did something happen or surprise you early this morning?  If so, note the time, what it was, what you were feeling, thinking, or any other sensations that you may have had.  This may help you with whatever action you decide to take.

02/16/26 – 1:31 pm – shadow Mercury waning water trine retrograde Jupiter

This is the pause and plan your next action trine.  With both in emotional water signs, trust your feelings, your instinct, when deciding between your options.

02/17/26 – 1:40 am – average Moon waning fixed square Uranus

Coming at this time, this crisis of consciousness, let go of, release, square is probably about what you should or might do when your day gets started.  Note any dreams, insights, feelings, or other sensations that come to you during the night or on waking.

02/17/26 – 4:01 am – average New Moon Solar Annular Eclipse fixed air conjunction Sun

This Solar Eclipse is at 28 Aquarius 50’.  As a solar eclipse, this is a super conjunction.  As such, the new thing you begin at this time should be something significant and personal to you.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “Butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.”  This symbol suggests that it may be time to break out, to let go of those “truths”, self-imposed limitations, or anything else that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential.  If you don’t take advantage of this solar eclipse, you may regret not doing so in the future as you see life and opportunities passing you by.

Following this, both will go void-of-course.  The Moon’s will last just over two hours, until She enters Pisces at 6:09 am.  The Sun’s will last almost 25 hours, until joining the Moon, Mercury, and Venus in Pisces tomorrow morning.

02/18/26 – 12:02 am – average Moon mutable water conjunction Venus

This conjunction at 9 Pisces 54’, is their only conjunction in Pisces this year.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “An aviator in the clouds.”  Pisces is sometimes referred to as the sign where we jump up as we reach for the divine, whatever our personal sense of the divine is.  This degree suggests that you may need to rise above any difficulties, distractions, or apparent confusion that may confront you.  See beyond the clouds to your goal and know that you can achieve it.  When considering what new thing to start, this conjunction may relate back to and reinforce that new thing you are starting from yesterday’s eclipse and not about starting something new and unrelated.

02/18/26 – 7:52 am – Sun enters Pisces

As the Sun moves into and through mutable water Pisces, this could be a good time to reflect on and perhaps consider or reconsider your personal religious, spiritual, or other beliefs.

02/18/26 – 10:31 am – accelerating Moon waning water trine retrograde Jupiter

This is the pause and plan your next actions trine and suggests that you may want to focus on older or any work that has a short deadline such as the end of the week or month.  With Jupiter retrograde, you may want to look at recent actions and review them to make sure that you haven’t overlooked something.

02/18/26 – 3:09 pm – accelerating Moon mutable water conjunction shadow Mercury

This conjunction is at 18 Pisces 22’.  The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “A master instructing his pupil.”  This suggests that it may be time, or there may be an opportunity for you to become the teacher.  It could be a one on one thing, or something more involved.  When the opportunity comes, accept it, do it, you just might like it.

02/19/26 – 7:23 am – accelerating Moon goes Void-of-Course

Following a waning sextile to Uranus, the Moon goes void-of-course for over 4 hours until entering Aries at 11:39 am.  This is the finishing sextile.  If you can, focus on older work that needs to be completed.  With Uranus involved, trust your intuition and be open to unique solutions and opportunities.

02/19/26 – 12:48 pm – accelerating Moon cardinal fire conjunction shadow Saturn.

This conjunction is at 0 Aries 39’, just 6 arc minutes or 1/10 degree (0 Aries 45’), from the Saturn Neptune conjunction tomorrow.  For reference, the Moon is about 30’ minutes or 1/2 degree in diameter.  The Saturn Neptune conjunction has been in play for some time now, but now it is approaching its maximum strength.  What new thing do you want to start now?  The Sabian Symbol for 0 Aries is “A woman has risen out of the ocean, a seal is embracing her.”  Something new is or will be emerging in your life soon.  Prepare to embrace and welcome it.  This combination creates a time when dreams can be manifested.  Perhaps it is to tear down an old something and replace it with something better, or it may just be to build a new one.

Just seven minutes later, simultaneously (12:55 pm), the Moon will make another cardinal fire conjunction, this time to Neptune.  What are you feeling now?  Describe them to the best of your ability.  Consider what you have been feeling for the past several days.  How has what you were feeling changed? 

02/19/26 – 7:08 pm – accelerating Moon waxing sextile Pluto

This is their first aspect since their conjunction about 4 1/2 days ago.  Did you start something new around that time?  If so, how is it developing?  Now it is time to evaluate it and plan what your next action should be.  With Pluto as the starting point, whatever you decide to do must be in line with your personal beliefs and value systems.

02/20/26 – 8:53 am – shadow Saturn cardinal fire conjunction Neptune

This pair meet up every 36 years, in different signs and at different degrees.  Some of the time, they will make three conjunctions due to retrogrades.  This year, as with most times, it is just a single conjunction.  This year is an exception and has major implications as their single conjunction is at 0 Aries which marks the Spring Equinox, the beginning of the zodiac and the starting point, 0 Right Ascension, from which astronomers locate all celestial objects.

It has been almost 6400 years (March 2, -4361 BC), since the last time they met at 0 Aries.  That was a time of new beginnings and major advances in civilization.  The last time they met at 0 degrees of a cardinal sign was July 1, 1738, at 0 Cancer 58’.  Their last meeting in Aries was March 27, 1703, at 11 Aries 44’, whe Europe and the New World were undergoing major conflicts and other significant changes. 

Watch as old structures begin to crumble and collapse making way for new, idealized replacements.  Keep tabs on local, national, and world news.  Adding to this unique energy, I would remind you that we are also in a Moon Wobble, with the Sun less than 7 degrees from the North Node.  Moon Wobbles statistically symbolize a time of increased frequency and level of natural and manmade disasters, and general chaos.

Do you have any dreams that you want to manifest?  If so, now may be the best time to get started doing it.

02/20/26 – 2:49 pm – accelerating Moon waning cardinal square retrograde Jupiter

This crisis of consciousness square may be offering a warning, as you work to consolidate, don’t overdo it.  Don’t try to go big as it most likely won’t work out to your satisfaction.  That doesn’t mean go small, it means be realistic, double check your work and all instructions before taking a controlled action.

Forecast for February 21-28

On the 21st, the Moon will make two major aspects followed on the 22nd by Venus trine retrograde Jupiter.  There will be five major aspects by the Moon on the 23rd and two more on the 24th.  On the 25th, Mercury will station retrograde as the Moon stirs things up with five aspects, including squares to Saturn and Neptune reinvigorating their recent conjunction.  On the 27th, there will be six aspects including Mars square Uranus and retrograde Mercury conjunction-opposition Venus.  February ends with the Moon quincunx Sun suggesting surprises are coming the night of the 28th into March.
