February Astrology Forecast 2026
February is that time of the year when time feels slightly suspended, where the world is still, but something underneath is shifting. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter has settled into its deepest contemplative phase; in the South, summer begins to turn inward. Either way, February acts through one foot in thought, the other in feeling.
We move from the sharp, electric clarity of Aquarius into the porous, intuitive waters of Pisces, when logic gives way to listening and detachment softens into compassion.
Midway through the month, eclipse season begins, intensifying this transition.
Let’s explore the key astrological transits shaping February 2026, a month of quiet recalibration in which endings reveal themselves, beginnings stir beneath the surface, and what has been avoided can no longer remain unseen.
All times are given in GMT; adjust for your local time zone.
Full Moon in Leo | February 1st, 2026
The Full Moon in Leo is like a sudden, unignorable spotlight swinging onto the stage.
A Full Moon is a celestial event of culmination, revelation, and heightened awareness. In Leo, the Moon's luminary energy is filtered through the themes of authenticity, creative sovereignty, pride, and the need for genuine recognition.
Opposing the Aquarius stellium, the Full Moon in Leo casts a stark light on existing conflicts between:
Personal desire and group allegiance.
The need for loyal, heartfelt recognition and the demand for objective, detached fairness.
Creative self-expression and innovative but impersonal ideology.
Potential integrative actions include:
Using your unique talents to lead or inspire change within a group.
Advocating for systems that protect and encourage individual creative freedom.
Bringing warmth, loyalty, and drama to the implementation of an impersonal but progressive ideal.
Uranus stations direct | February 4th, 2026
Uranus stations direct in Taurus on February 4th, 2026, marking its final direct movement in this sign before exiting Taurus later in April. This shift is important, as Uranus has been redefining themes of money, values, security, resources, land, and the physical body since 2018.
When Uranus turns direct, stalled change accelerates, and what has been unstable can no longer remain unresolved.
This station reactivates long-running Uranus in Taurus themes: financial volatility, shifts in global and personal economies, changing relationships to material stability, and the need for greater flexibility around what we rely on for safety. Insights gained during Uranus’ retrograde phase now demand practical application. What once felt uncertain or experimental becomes unavoidable.
Because this is Uranus’ final station in Taurus, February marks the beginning of the end for this multi-year transit. It offers a last opportunity to consciously integrate the lessons Uranus has delivered around attachment, ownership, sustainability, and self-worth, depending on the houses that were activated within your birth chart. Systems that resist evolution may experience one final jolt, not to punish, but to liberate.
Mercury enters Pisces | February 6th, 2026
Mercury enters Pisces on February 6th 2026, shifting our thinking and communication into a more intuitive, imaginative, and emotionally attuned space.
During this transit, our minds are more open to intuition, creativity, and subtle energies, making it an ideal time for artistic expression, spiritual reflection, and exploring emotions. Conversations may lean toward empathy and compassion, and decision-making may benefit from listening to inner guidance rather than relying solely on analysis.
However, Mercury in Pisces can also bring confusion, miscommunication, or overlooked details, especially in contracts, travel, and daily routines. Double-check facts, be patient with misunderstandings, and allow space for reflection before acting on instinct.
This transit is also a bridge between the analytical clarity of Aquarius and the emotional depth of Pisces, encouraging us to synthesize insight with intuition. Mercury will continue its journey through Pisces, enhancing dream work, creative projects, and emotional intelligence, while preparing us for the upcoming eclipse season, which may reveal deeper truths in personal and collective consciousness.
Venus enters Pisces | February 10th, 2026
Venus moves into Pisces, stepping into the sign where it is exalted, a placement that amplifies love, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, relationships, and values, finds its most harmonious expression here.
Venus in Pisces encourages us to approach love and connection with openness, tenderness, and a willingness to see beyond the surface.
Emotional boundaries soften, and we are more attuned to the subtle currents of others’ feelings.
This is a powerful period to explore dreams, intuitive guidance, and soul-level connections.
Saturn enters Aries | February 14th, 2026
On Valentines day of 2026, Saturn conjoins Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries.
Saturn brings structure to Neptune, along with responsibility and clarity (moments of truth?), while Neptune opens us to imagination and intuition but this time in an awakening tone in comparison to lofty Neptune in Pisces that was transiting since 2011.
For relationships, the alignment highlights the difference between fantasy and commitment, desire and devotion, especially for Libra risings (this conjunction will transit your 7th house). Emotional clarity and honest intentions become necessary, helping connections deepen in meaningful ways.
Collectively, Saturn conjunct Neptune can inspire new structures, offering a chance to align dreams with purposeful action, while Saturn will stay in the sign where it’s in fall until 2028.
New Moon solar eclipse in Aquarius | February 17th, 2026
The eclipse season in 2026 opens on the Aquarius-Leo axis, signaling a period of change that emphasizes community versus individuality, innovation versus self-expression, and collective responsibility versus personal recognition.
Eclipses are never subtle as they illuminate what needs to evolve in how we relate to others, lead, and shine in the world, signaling major endings and major beginnings, and where, it depends on our birth chart. Pay attention to what is unfolding for you until the total solar eclipse in Leo happens later in mid-August.
Solar eclipses are like accelerators by the way, as they plant seeds, invoke new beginnings, and reveal where growth is inevitable.
In Aquarius, the focus is on visionary thinking, social innovation, and stepping into your role within the collective in a more authentic way.
This eclipse may bring clarity around:
New ideas and breakthroughs that challenge old patterns
Collaborations or networks that support long-term goals
The need to balance independence with responsibility to the group
Opportunities to step forward with leadership that honors both self and society
Sun enters Pisces | February 18th, 2026
The day after the solar eclipse, Sun moves into Pisces, and we enter the final stretch of the zodiac cycle. This is the last Sun sign before the astrological year resets at the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and its energy reflects that sense of completion. Focus turns more inward, and the emphasis shifts from doing to processing.
Pisces season calls for reflection. It’s a time to review the past year, what unfolded, what dissolved, and what no longer fits. Answers tend to arrive through feeling, creativity, dreams, or quiet moments rather than logic alone.
Old patterns, lingering attachments, and unfinished emotional threads can now be gently untangled. This isn’t about forcing closure, but allowing it to happen naturally, creating space for what comes next.
As we approach the Spring Equinox and the arrival of Aries, Pisces season acts as a necessary pause and a reminder that beginnings are strongest when they’re preceded by rest, compassion, and honest reflection. What we soften, forgive, and let go of now becomes the fertile ground for the new cycle ahead.
Mercury goes retrograde | February 26th, 2026
During this retrograde, past conversations, unfinished creative projects, and unresolved emotional dynamics often resurface. Tthis is a time to reflect, revise, and reconnect with intuition.
Messages may be missed or misunderstood, but insights gained through dreams, symbols, and gut feelings can be surprisingly accurate.
Mercury in Pisces retrograde is especially supportive for creative work, spiritual reflection, and emotional processing.
It encourages compassion in communication and patience with uncertainty. As the zodiac year nears its end, this retrograde helps us sort through lingering thoughts and feelings, allowing clarity to emerge gently, on its own terms, before the cycle begins again.
