February's futuristic focus: this Aquarius season encourages us to rethink what’s possible.

February 2026 is shaped by strong humanitarian energy, as the month begins with five planets—an Aquarius stellium—gathered in the sign of the progressive Water Bearer. This high-vibe alignment pulls our focus toward collective healing, asking us to look beyond personal goals and consider how our choices impact the wider systems we participate in. The revolutionary energy of this potent month supports meaningful, long-term change—both personally and collectively.

February’s momentum is further shaped by major planetary shifts. Uranus—Aquarius’ ruling planet—stations direct in Taurus, bringing movement to themes of values, money, and stability. At the same time, Saturn’s entry into Aries marks the start of a new chapter around initiative, boundaries, and leadership. As Aquarius season gives way to Pisces later in the month, intuition and compassion soften the momentum, reminding us that progress is most sustainable when paired with empathy.

Here’s a closer look at February’s key astrological dates:

February 1—Full Moon in Leo:

The month opens with a radiant Full Moon in Leo, illuminating themes of self-expression and pleasure. Opposing the Sun in Aquarius, this lunation highlights the balance between personal desires and collective responsibility, bringing awareness to where you may be dimming your light for the sake of fitting in. Emotional truths may surface now, encouraging you to honour what feels authentic rather than performative.

February 3—Uranus Direct in Taurus:

Uranus stations direct in Taurus and continues to move forward until September, restoring momentum around finances, values, self-worth, and long-term security. Insights gained over the past several months begin to translate into real-world change, helping you see how freedom and stability can coexist. This shift supports practical innovation—making financial and work-related decisions that are both future-focused and sustainable.

February 6—Mercury Enters Pisces:

Mercury’s move into soft-hearted Pisces softens communication and shifts our focus from logic to emotion and imagination. Conversations feel more psychic and symbolic, while our dreams and creativity become stronger sources of guidance. This is a supportive time for artistic expression, journaling, intuitive practices, and energetic healing.

February 10—Venus Enters Pisces:

Just days before Valentine’s Day, Venus enters Pisces—its sign of exaltation—setting the mood for romance. Compassion deepens, creativity flows, and relationships feel infused with spiritual meaning. While this transit encourages empathy and unconditional love, it also asks for mindful boundaries so that idealism doesn’t blur reality or lead to over-giving.

February 13—Saturn Enters Aries:

Saturn’s entry into Aries begins a new cycle unfolding through April 2028, reshaping how you take initiative and commit to self-directed goals. Over the next couple of years, you’ll be asked to set firmer boundaries, choose goals that are worth your effort, and slow down impulsive decisions in favor of deliberate action. This transit often coincides with taking on greater responsibility, stepping into leadership, and launching long-term projects. If you've been dreaming of starting your own business, Saturn in Aries can give you the push and focus you need to make it a reality.

February 17—New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius/Chinese New Year:

This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius marks a powerful reset around your future direction, the communities you invest in, and the role you want to play within them. As eclipses accelerate change, intentions set now may unfold quickly or take unexpected turns, guiding you toward connections that better reflect your evolving values. Coinciding with Chinese New Year and the start of the Year of the Horse, this moment carries bold, forward-moving energy—encouraging independence, courage, and decisive action. Together, Aquarius’ visionary influence and the Horse’s momentum invite you to step away from outdated alliances and move confidently toward a freer, more authentic path forward.

February 18—Sun Enters Pisces:

With the Sun entering Pisces, the pace slows and our attention turns inward toward emotional awareness, creativity, and spiritual reflection. Over the next four weeks, this season invites rest, introspection, and a deeper connection with your inner world, especially after the outward, mental focus of Aquarius season. Making space for quiet reflection, artistic exploration, or intuitive practices helps you tune in to what’s unfolding beneath the surface and prepares you for deeper inner work ahead.

February 26—Mercury Retrograde in Pisces:

A week into Pisces season, Mercury stations retrograde, intensifying this inward focus for the next few weeks. This is a time to reflect on conversations or patterns that haven’t fully resolved or revisit creative projects that have been put on the back burner. Communication may feel less direct, and insight is more likely to arrive through intuition or dreams rather than logic. February closes on a quieter note, inviting you to pause, integrate, and move forward with a deeper understanding of what truly matters.
