February is by far the most significant month of 2026. We will feel the shifts. Uranus stations direct in Taurus, Saturn leaves Pisces, our First Eclipse occurs in Aquarius, the anticipated Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces. It is not a month of initiation, but more of incarnation; the inception point, if you will. Let's dissect the plethora of phenomenal astrological influences. The overall energetic signature screams reset. It all begins anew now. This is what it's like to live through a changing of the age, on multiple levels, as humanity. We are at a pivotal point where the old and antiquated are breaking down while the abundant Aquarius and Pisces (the two transpersonal signs) energies are leading us to Aries (personal sign of individuation), where the emboldened ability to create something new lies in wait. This is why we came: to create our future dreams, personally and ultimately, collectively.
MAJOR ASTROLOGY DATES
Feb. 1st: Full Moon at 13°4' Leo, 5:09 pm EST:
The Full Moon is opposite the Sun and Venus in Aquarius (along with Mercury, Mars, and Pluto). This lunation emphasizes the need for self-actualization and personal sovereignty as it relates to others in the world. Integrity of Spirit heats our much-needed hearts. Venus in opposition to this Full Moon indicates (illuminates) that what we have to share of ourselves with others is of value!
Feb. 3rd: Uranus stations direct at 27° Taurus, 9:33 pm EST:
Uranus completes its annual five-month retrograde and almost 7-year transit through the fixed Earth sign of Taurus. This final upgrade on a cellular level has equipped us for new, unexpected insights and a quantum leap into an elevated awareness. We are learning to operate in the cosmic consciousness realm, which will unfold in the sign of Gemini through 2033 as Uranus ingresses into the Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini on April 25, 2026. How has Uranus liberated and revolutionized your pursuits of abundance and fulfillment since 2019?
Feb. 6th: Mercury leaves Aquarius and ingresses into Pisces, 5:48 pm EST:
Mercury leads the way as the stellium of personal planets in Aquarius prepares to move through Pisces: Venus, Sun, then Mars on 3/2. The messenger God has liberated his ideas in Uranus-ruled territory, and now couples the progressive insights with Divine inspiration. (be discerning in the delulu, though!)
Feb. 10th: Venus leaves Aquarius, ingresses into Pisces, 5:19 am EST:
Lady Luck enters her sign of traditional exaltation. Venus, the lesser benefic planet, opens our heart in this placement, connecting us to our Source energy, divine inspiration, love, and compassion. Venus transiting Pisces stimulates creativity and spirituality. Quite the time for manifesting, and with Saturn still present in the sign, that fairytale romance may actually last! (leaves Pisces 3/6)
Feb. 13th: SATURN leaves Pisces, ingresses into Aries, 7:12 pm EST:
This is it! Saturn follows Neptune into the sign of Aries, where they will conjoin on the potent Aries 0° point this month. Saturn here will serve to give bones to our ambition. Neptune in Aries alone could be paralyzing, with passion projects that we only dream about and never actually start. Saturn requires us to commit to our dreams and bring them into a new timeline, now! A stern reminder that no one is gonna do it for us; we are responsible for our own acts of courage and willpower. (through 4/12/28)
Feb. 17th: New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse at 28° 49' Aquarius, 7:13 am EST:
This late-degree, out-of-sign Solar Eclipse marks the beginning of Eclipse Season for this calendar year, and the first eclipse in the sign of Aquarius since 2018. The lunation is in a tight square to Uranus, Aquarius‘s ruler, at 27° of Taurus. The radical rebel Uranus is fresh out of retrograde and preparing to move into fellow Air sign, Gemini, at the end of April. Pay close attention, this is a precursor to July when the nodal axis shifts signs and the North Node moves into Aquarius for 18 months. The stellium of personal planets is amping up the Aquarius archetypal energies, and it’s not going to end anytime soon. Tap into the higher mind, the ability to quickly pivot, and the willingness to play well with others.
Feb. 18th: The Sun leaves Aquarius, enters Pisces, 10:52 am EST, PISCES SEASON:
shortly after the perfecting of the Eclipse, the Sun enters the sign of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, and the completion of our galaxy stars’ journey through the entire zodiac. As you can see, there is this duality of influence: endings and new beginnings are an echoing theme in the airwaves right now. As we all lean into this time of transcendence, may the Sun in the nebulous ethereal realm strengthen our intuition, restore our faith, and illuminate the inspired dream of sharing our gifts and talents with others. You are Magic!
Feb. 20th: SATURN conjunct NEPTUNE at 0°45' Aries, 11:54 am EST, INCEPTION!:
Just to emphasize the extremely rare time we are living in, Saturn conjoins with Neptune somewhere in the zodiac wheel around every 30 years; however, the last time they met up at 0° Aries, the most potent degree in all 360° because of its pure potential, was 7000 BC… 9000 years ago! If you’re not sure about a new personification of yourself in a new timeline, you will be soon. Initially, it will take some time; we have had a lot of Pisces saturation, and it may feel like it's still a little too damp to catch a spark, but we CAN light that flame of life force energy. Saturn always slows us down for a reason, so that what we are creating will provide long-term stability and security. What is our new call to duty? How can we commit to our passion projects? What is our new spiritual mission? How do we bring our inner muse back on board?
Feb. 26th: Mercury stations retrograde at 22° Pisces, 1:48 am EST, (through 3/20)
This is the first of three Mercury retrograde phases this year, and all of them will be occurring in Water signs (super psychic). The Messenger God, deep diving the subconscious ethereal realm, screams self-compassion. This transit heightens our intuition, innate senses, and ability to be less judgmental of ourselves and others. May we experience the compassion of the Creator as we close out a past version of who we are and give ourselves grace and space for our pace.
The Sun and personal planets will conjunct the North Node of destiny as they pass through Pisces, along with MANY more significant aspects this month. If you would like to take a look at how this will play out in your chart, please schedule a month-ahead reading with me.
