Scorpio (Born November 13 to 22) and Scorpio Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Scorpio:

February 2026 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February 2026

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until February 8th:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.

From February 8th forward:

With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.

Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse occurs on February 17th:

Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fourth house, signaling a fresh approach to domestic affairs, home, and family. A new set-up in an existing home or new living conditions or arrangements altogether may be part of the picture in the coming months. This can instead be about a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding your domestic routines, comfort, and feelings of security.

This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for a solid foundation--a place to return to when the rest of the world is getting on your nerves. Honoring your connection with feelings of familiarity and safety makes sense now.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Until the 2nd: 

Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.

Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

From February 2nd to the 25th:

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

From February 26th onward:

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From the 1st to the 20th: 

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

From the 20th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

Mercury is retrograde from February 26th to March 20th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with friends or groups, as well as intimate communications and shared financial resources, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to financial transactions and personal communications with friends, or, better yet, take this time to re-budget or rethink your plans instead of taking premature action. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may seem distant or confused.

Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until February 17th: 

Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

From February 18th onward: 

Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Overview Horoscope:

February 2026 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:

You’re connecting with your needs for a solid, happy base of operations this month, dear Scorpio, with a strong focus on your solar sector of heart and home. The month also spotlights your creativity, hobbies, pleasures, and love life, especially as it progresses. Improvements in your living conditions, family relations, and leisure time can figure strongly. Home life is especially animated. It's a good time to channel excess energy into projects around the home.

With Mars in your solar fourth all month and a Solar Eclipse occurring in the same sector on the 17th, your domestic life is busy. Projects around or in the home are favored, and so are activities with family and loved ones. Because the energies centered on this sector of your solar chart are so dynamic, you’ll want to do something special, take action, and make changes. In fact, changes in your family dynamic or home life are necessary–and may be a long time coming–as the Solar Eclipse ushers in powerful energy for new beginnings in your personal life.

Balancing your personal and professional/public life can be challenging, but it’s an important goal around the Full Moon on the 1st. This lunation, happening at the top of your solar chart, can mark the culmination of a significant work project or a scurry of activity on the job or in your public life. Events occur that highlight your responsibilities. Acknowledging your need to perform, lead, and manage can be in focus, and you might recognize buried needs or bring a project to fruition.

Uranus turns direct on the 3rd after almost five months of retrograde motion, bringing clarity or forward movement in a partnership and with family matters. While relationships can sometimes be up and down or difficult to predict, you might come to a better feeling that you can ride with the waves rather than fight them. Delays lift. There are solutions, outlets, or even breakthroughs occurring now that suggest forward motion.

Mercury moves into your solar fifth house on the 6th, and Venus follows suit on the 10th, and playful or creative communications, learning, flirtations, and engaging learning experiences can figure strongly. Still, February can be an important time for boosting your feelings of security, and possibly more freedom or enjoyment on the home front. If you need a fresh start with family or on the home front, the cosmos are supporting you.

From the 13th, Saturn encourages you to simplify and work more efficiently. It’s about building some boundaries and disciplining yourself as the planet moves through your work and health sector, where it will transit until April 2028. This transit challenges you to straighten out your daily affairs, work, routines, health, habits, and self-care programs. Aim to make changes slowly, responsibly, and conservatively — Saturn-style! The goal now is to make improvements that last years, if not a lifetime. Aim to work hard and do what you can, without pushing yourself too hard. Saturn wants you to work smarter, not necessarily harder.

This month, you're ready to make some of your dreams come true. It's a powerful time for hard work and attention or commitment to work and health pursuits. Your dedication to your chores, work, and routines is admirable now, and you could put a lot of energy into mastering a particular skill. Something comes together or makes sense. The reality of a situation can be helpful for decision-making, and bringing your expectations down to earth is helpful. With a stronger or clearer vision of what you want to accomplish, your efforts toward your health, work, and chores feel more fulfilling. You might enjoy the opportunity to increase stability in your work, health, or routines.

Efforts to improve your home life should be highly successful this month, and you’re likely to want to entertain from home or do some rearranging. Instead, you may experience a lot of energy centered on the home or family, such as through special activities or visits. Surrounding yourself with familiar people and situations comes naturally. You require some anchoring and centering! You're drawn to projects and activities that have longevity or special meaning. Emotional “renovations” are satisfying.

The Solar Eclipse on the 17th is the first in a set, spanning two years, that encourages you to find a better balance between your personal and public life. This first eclipse in the series spotlights improvements you can make to your inner world, sense of security, home, and close relationships. It’s a great time to consider ways to improve your home base.

As the month advances, you crave more interaction and feedback. The insular theme that was so strong at the top of the month starts to fade out, and opportunities to enjoy and express yourself emerge. Romance is highly favored, and your mood is playful. Others more readily appreciate your unique romantic and creative style. Your feelings for someone can grow, and a person who’s holding a torch for you may express their appreciation.

Mercury’s retrograde turn on the 26th can introduce some complications in getting your intended message across. People from the past can be a theme now, whether it’s about someone reconnecting with you or thinking (obsessing) about the past. There may be some backtracking that affects your romantic relationships and creative projects, but it also gives you the chance to rethink certain plans.

You’re taking charge of your need for satisfying channels for enjoyment and self-expression. Finding ways to let off steam and detox is important as you close the month.
