Forecast for February 2026
(Please scroll down for the 2026 Year Ahead forecast.)
February is a mission-critical month in 2026, and it will likely lay significant framework for years to come. The key to navigating this astrology is having the courage to examine truth and power – both in our internal and external worlds – and to create a new action plan accordingly.
Right on cue, we begin the month with a full moon in Leo on February 1st. This full moon sits opposite Mars and square to Uranus, giving it an extra edge and potency. Chances are, we are feeling emboldened to express ourselves in a unique way.
On February 3rd, Uranus stations direct in Taurus, beginning its last tour of duty in this sign. Uranus will be most active as it works through these last degrees of Taurus before it moves into Gemini at the end of April. If you’ve felt stuck or resistant to change, this transit may help liberate you and give you the extra push you need.
Mercury, our ruler of communication, will begin its pre-retrograde shadow in Pisces on February 11th. Mercury in Pisces is a slightly complicated position; it’s great for intuitive nudges and non-verbal communication, but not the best for day-to-day communication where details matter. All of our Mercury retrogrades will be happening in water signs this year, which will serve as much-needed respites to emotionally digest all that’s transforming.
On February 17th, we have a new moon eclipse in Aquarius, our first one in years on this axis. It’s an important one to track because it’s the beginning of a new and important storyline that will unfold this year on the Leo/Aquarius axis, and it will give us clues as to what’s to come. Those of us with strong placements in Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio will feel the impact most.
The biggest transit of the month and perhaps the year occurs on February 20th when Saturn conjoins Neptune at 0 degrees Aries. It is a cosmic reset on many levels. This aspect has been applying for some time, and we are seeing it play out in various ways on the global stage. On a personal level, this transit supports creating a bold, new vision and action plan and owning your narrative. Take advantage of this if you can; this transit only happens once every 36 years.

Forecast for 2026: The Year Ahead
2026 is a year that will uplevel us, particularly in our inner world, in how we express ourselves, and in our courage to be our authentic selves. We have all of our outer and social planets moving into air and fire signs, making this a very action-oriented year. Above all, I think we’ll have a lot more clarity about the future, its possibilities, and how we fit into it.
This year’s transits in air and fire will speak very directly to us. When we are fully aligned, we will glide through the year at a quickened pace, exploring possibilities and opportunities that were previously unattainable. When we’re fragmented, unsure, or out of alignment, this energy can leave us feeling burned out, left behind, or living in a post-apocalyptic world. Trust the energy, how you feel, and embrace the courage to go your own way.
Looking back, 2025 was a year of endings, completion, and culminations. We were closing a major 14-year chapter of our lives, which began back in 2011. We’re now opening a new chapter at 0 degrees Aries, the very first sign and degree of the zodiac, marking a time of new beginnings and initiations. We’re starting from a blank slate and are emboldened to build anew from the ground up.
The energy of this year encourages us to do the following:
1. Let go of the past and embrace that one chapter of our lives is over, and a new one is beginning.
2. See things from a different perspective and explore new and unexpected opportunities. Especially the unusual and crazy ones. To quote one of my favorite teachers, Rick Levine, with regards to Uranus transits, “If nobody thinks you’re going crazy, then you probably are.”
3. Move into a space of greater authenticity. The hard work is often about choosing authenticity over status or how you appear in the eyes of others.
4. Embody the courage to begin again. 2026 is bolstered with Aries energy, followed by a boost of Leo energy mid-year – a huge blast of audacity and determination to start something new or to breathe fire into an old project in a new way.
