Aerin Fogel joined me to discuss the dramatic astrology for the month of February 2026. The month of February possesses some of the most powerful astrology we have witnessed for many years, as it features Saturn entering Aries on February 13, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, and the Saturn and Neptune conjunction in the first degree of Aries on February 20.

Uranus is also a huge influence for the entire month, as there is a Full Moon in Leo on February 1 activating Uranus at the same time that Uranus stations direct for the final time in Taurus on February 3. Mercury then forms a catalytic square aspect with Uranus on February 5 followed by Venus forming a square aspect with Uranus on February 8. Additionally, the Aquarius Solar Eclipse on February 17 is in a disruptive square aspect with Uranus. The month also ends with an explosive square aspect between Mars in Aquarius with Uranus in Taurus on February 27.

While Saturn entering Aries on February 13 is the big astrological headline for mid-February, there is also the significant ingresses of Mercury into Pisces on February 6 followed by Venus entering Pisces on February 10, with Mercury forming a flowing trine aspect with Jupiter in Cancer on February 16 followed by Venus forming a creatively generative trine aspect with Jupiter on February 22. We talk about the creative remediation brought by Mercury and Venus in Pisces in trine with Jupiter in Cancer during the volatile astrology of the month. The combination of Mercury and Venus in Pisces will bring opportunities for quiet moments of joy, pleasure and creative exploration amidst the tectonic shifting of large scale storylines brought by the eclipse combined with the Saturn and Neptune conjunction.

After talking about the meaning of Saturn entering Aries, the Aquarius Solar Eclipse, and the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune from February 13 through February 20, we discuss the additional meaning of Mercury stationing retrograde on February 26 with Venus in Pisces applying to a conjunction with Mercury.

Pluto is calling from the depths this week. It’s time to listen to messages from the darkness within, subconscious and subterranean realms, making offerings to guardians of the underworld threshold, as Pluto will deliver major messages and revelations regarding our experiences of the Pluto in Aquarius transit. Pay attention to not only what is dying, decaying, and undergoing purification, but also the new life force and desires emerging from within. Pluto can facilitate coming to terms with the essential purpose and path to dedicate and devote yourself to in the year ahead.

From January 19 - 27, 2026 there is a major initiation with Pluto, as Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars will all form conjunctions with Pluto in Aquarius. In addition to the personal rebirth experiences that Pluto will be initiating for each of us, collectively Pluto will also be initiating us into the entrance of Neptune into Aries on January 26. Neptune is entering the fiery home of Mars where the oceanic planet will remain until 2039, with Mars applying to a conjunction with Pluto that will become exact the next day on January 27.

The regenerative conjunction of Mercury with the Sun in Aquarius on January 21, followed by Mercury uniting with Pluto on January 22 will be an especially potent time for attuning to messages from Pluto. Whatever ways you are experiencing processes of death and rebirth, Pluto will put you in touch with the essential elements and values to tend and cultivate that will be intrinsic to your creative direction and greater empowerment.

The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18, 2026 is a potent opportunity to find your center and not only set intentions for the year ahead, but also formulate and follow through on dedicated plans of action aligned with your values and core purpose. We are in the middle of rapid events reshaping the order of global dynamics at breakneck speed, and due to numerous astrological factors involved in the lunar cycle ahead, we can only expect that the speed of change will only increase. This is in part due to Neptune entering Aries on January 26 and Saturn entering Aries on February 13 as they approach their conjunction in the first degree of Aries on February 20, 2026.

As a result, it will be imperative to come to terms with how desires and long-term visions have been reshaped by the dramatic triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun (January 6 - 9), and gather the courage, dedication, and will power required to reshape your reality in alignment with what you truly want to create with your work and protect within your community as the pace of change accelerates.

The New Moon in the third decan of Capricorn is separating from a harmonious sextile with Saturn in Pisces and a trine with Uranus in Taurus while applying closely to an imaginative sextile aspect with Neptune in Pisces as well as toward a conjunction with Venus and Pluto in Aquarius. At the same time, Mercury combined with Mars in Capricorn adds intellectual fuel and firepower to whatever you set your mind toward creating.
