This Month in Astrology – February 2026

On February 1st, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Leo. This lunation reminds us of needs we may have been putting to the side–there can be an urgent or sudden need/desire to express ourselves around this lunation. We are more powerfully aware of our creative, romantic, and expressive urges.

Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. This Leo Moon is proud and intensely individual. Read more about this Full Moon on its calendar page.

On February 3rd, Uranus stations and turns direct, after retrograde motion since September 6th. As Uranus gains speed in the coming weeks, our urge to express ourselves uniquely, to take some chances or risks, to rebel, to listen to our own instincts, and to stir up change are re-awakened. We begin to see clearly that we can make changes — that we are not always victims of changes thrust upon us.  Read more about this transit on its calendar page.

On February 13th, Saturn enters Aries. Saturn was in Aries from May 24th to September 1st, 2025, returned to Pisces in retrograde motion, and is now back in Aries to stay: from February 13, 2026, to April 12th, 2028.

While Saturn is in Aries, we may initially experience frustration when pursuing our individual goals. We can feel uncomfortable with big shows of individuality or me-centered behavior while Saturn is in Aries. However, this period also presents a unique opportunity for personal growth. As we learn to balance our individual needs with collective responsibilities, we can overcome this discomfort. By recognizing the necessity for this balanced attention, we can expand our potential for personal development. Otherwise, we might inadvertently limit ourselves.

On February 17th, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius prompts a new beginning. This lunation is a Solar Eclipse, and it’s the first in a set of eclipses that fall along the Leo-Aquarius sign axis–from February 2026 to January 2028.

In the sign of Aquarius, this eclipse is about friendship, fellowship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group. This New Moon eclipse might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works! Read more about this New Moon on its calendar page.

On February 20th, Saturn is conjunct Neptune, and this is a standalone transit. A Saturn-Neptune conjunction marks a time when our ideals are put to the test. Circumstances are such that we need to rebuild trust and faith. This transit marries two very different energies, the dreamer and the realist. Bringing plans and dreams to reality can be one manifestation. Practical idealism is within reach, and we might dedicate ourselves to a particular ideal, vision, or goal… Read more about this transit on its calendar page.

On February 26th, Mercury stations and turns retrograde, and it will continue its retrograde journey until March 20th. Some delays or information clogs are possible. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces for the whole cycle, we may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways. We might consider scrapping a need for closure on a particular matter, for example, recognizing that the best closure sometimes involves accepting that there isn’t closure! We can be especially spacey when it comes to facts and figures. Convoluted directions and instructions can be a problem. However, we may be more able to tap into our inner muse and come up with especially inventive ideas…  Read more about this transit on its calendar page.
