The month opens with an uncomplicated full Moon in Leo on February 1—then things get interesting. On February 3, Uranus, the great disruptor and awakener, sits still in the sky as it prepares to resume forward motion. A “stationing” planet is a more potent planet, meaning it can be more effective at its job. It takes a while for an outer planet like Uranus to get back to full speed, so it will spend the month securely in its power. Then, beginning on February 5, the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, the Sun, and Mars) will successively align with the great pattern-breaker in the sky. Expect curve balls and sudden reversals. Do not fear. Some surprises could be favorable.
It’s a big month, and it doesn’t entirely belong to Uranus, even though a solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17 squares Uranus as well. This month is also host to the most impactful transit of 2026, which is the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at zero degrees Aries. This is an extremely rare occurrence at the most decisive degree of the zodiac, marking clear endings and beginnings regarding structures and visions for the future. This happens on February 13, but, like eclipses, it does not necessarily mean something big happens on the day of the transit. Be mindful, though, of new things entering or leaving your life. They may seem insignificant, but could be the start of a major turning point.
As if that weren’t enough, three planets enter Pisces this month, including the Sun on February 18. The general mood becomes more emotionally sensitive and romantic—maybe even delusional and escapist. Dream your dreams and indulge in the expanded sense of compassion, but keep one foot planted on the ground. Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces on February 26 to cap off the month. Feel your feelings, but suspend judgement.
