Weekly Forecast Feb. 16 - Feb. 22, 2026
On Monday, the Sun, the Moon, and Mars are in Aquarius, Mercury and Venus are in Pisces, retrograde Jupiter is in Cancer, and Saturn is in Aries. With three planets in Saturn-ruled Aquarius forming a sextile with the transiting Saturn in Aries, the rebellious and humanistic Aquarius energy gets a boost from fiery and active Aries energy as these planets form a harmonious aspect. Mercury and Venus are also trine with retrograde Jupiter in Cancer, which brings harmony between thoughts, desires, and growth. Retrograde Jupiter is squaring Saturn in Aries by sign, putting the nostalgic energy of retrograde Jupiter in Cancer at odds with insecurities around autonomy.
On Tuesday, there is a New Moon as the Moon meets the Sun exactly by degree. As always, a New Moon invites us to set goals and intentions for the next 6-month period until the Full Moon in the same sign. In particular, this New Moon asks how we will consider reformation, rebellion, and innovation in the next 6 months. How will you improve how you engage with the community around you, and how is this connected to creating the world you’d like to live in? In what aspects will you develop when it comes to how you engage with social systems? Maybe there are areas in which you know you are not acting in alignment with your values which you can rectify. What tangible actions are needed to accomplish these goals? Make sure to write down both your goals and what actions you plan to take to address them so that you can refer back to them periodically.
On Wednesday, the Moon is in Pisces, joining Mercury and Venus. This allows the Moon to add its emotional undercurrent to support your thoughts and desires. This also forms both a trine and a mutual reception with retrograde Jupiter in Cancer, since the Moon is transiting through Pisces, whose ruling planet is Jupiter, while transiting Jupiter is in Cancer, whose ruling planet is the Moon. This relationship between the Moon and Jupiter is very harmonious and positive, making today more fortunate and full of opportunity. Emotional breakthroughs, positive news, and clear intuition are likely.
The Sun enters Pisces on Thursday, marking the first day of Pisces season. It joins the Moon, Mercury, and Venus, as well as entering the auspicious trine with retrograde Jupiter in Cancer. This creates an atmosphere of optimism, potential, and imagination, allowing you to push the boundaries of what you thought possible. Embrace the whimsical and surreal energy of the season, especially since this is the first time since early 2023 that Saturn has not cast a shadow over the sign of Pisces.
On Friday, the Moon is in Aries, forming a conjunction with Saturn and a sextile with Aries’ ruling planet of Mars, which is currently transiting through Aquarius. This will make the day feel more severe and harsh than usual for Pisces season. Conflicts, especially around systems and autonomy, may arise today. You may struggle with wanting to assert your independence while also feeling too trapped or ashamed to do so properly. However, with the day being ruled by Venus, which is currently in its exaltation of Pisces, you may be able to retreat somewhat into a fantasy world when reality feels too intense.
On Saturday, the energy is similar to Friday, however the day is ruled by Saturn, the harsh energy and road blocks are only more intense today. Take this time to reflect on the lessons that Saturn is teaching you. Every obstacle is an invitation to evolve and surpass prior limitations; although this process is painful, it is necessary for your development. In order for you to achieve the life you desire, the version of you which created your current struggles and limitations must be destroyed, and that is precisely the role of Saturn.
On Sunday, the Moon enters its exaltation of Taurus, bringing relief from the intense energy of the previous two days. This also forms sextile aspects with both retrograde Jupiter in Cancer as well as the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Pisces, further pacifying the day’s energy. Relaxation is the name of the game today. Get a massage, eat delicious food, and cuddle up with cozy blankets to best take advantage of today’s energy.
