FEBRUARY 2026

ORACLE CARD OF THE MONTH: “Loving Friendship” (Venus in Air). A month to develop our charm, courtesy, and refinement. The more adaptable, easy-going, cooperative, and accommodating we are, the more popular we are likely to become. Mentally telepathic, stimulated by friendship and companionship, we seek new, exciting experiences, are progressive and original, need a lot of freedom, and deal well with the public but should be careful to not be too frivolous, prone to vanity or squander our money.

Uranus turns direct on February 3, 2026. Its shadow period remains until March 13, 2026. The degree it becomes direct on (27º28’ Taurus) is represented by: “A woman past her ‘change of life’ experiences a new love.” Instability, sudden turns of events, unexpected changes of mind, and surprising occurrences can rock our sense of reality, bringing uncertainty but also stimulation, freedom, and fulfillment. It is essential that we remain flexible enough to welcome the new especially where it disrupts our set plans. When we do, we shall find that innovations and unusual situations are both liberating and exciting, encouraging us to interact more joyfully with life.

Jupiter remains retrograde this whole month until March 10, 2026. Its shadow period remains until June 6, 2026. The degrees covered in December (17º22’-15º17’ Cancer) are associated with the following images: “A hen scratching the ground to find nourishment for her progeny”. Our inner contemplation focus on our family ties, romantic relationships, spiritual understanding, gifts, and talents. The qualities we have honed with diligent work come into the open. We need to deepen our emotions, explore what makes us feel fulfilled, and investigate the real reason for our incarnation. Searching for the meaning behind our experiences helps us understand ourselves, our place in society, and our connection to others, more deeply.

Mercury enters Pisces on Friday 2/6 till April 14. During the next 9 weeks our mental sensitivity and visionary skills are more developed. We are likely to be drawn to artistic and spiritual endeavors. In some cases, our thinking -which tends to be influenced by both our emotions and our subconscious, could become a little muddled, hindering our capacity to separate facts from fantasy. Our psychic awareness could distort our intellectual perceptions and if we are not careful enough, we could fall prey to spiritual imagination. Any healing work requiring an extreme sensitivity to other people’s feelings, or any creative work relying heavily on inspiration, are favored.

Venus enters Pisces on Tuesday 2/10 till March 6. During the coming month, we could fall in love at first sight, form impulsive ties, be demonstrative, enthusiastic, passionate, sincere, energetic, and idealistic. Competitive and eager to take daring financial initiatives without always calculating the risks, we could prove too generous or spend money more quickly than we are able to earn it. During this period, it is advised both in romantic and financial matters, that we think before leaping.

After having made a first entrance into Aries between May 26 and September 1st, 2025, Saturn enters Aries for good on Friday 2/13 till April 12, 2028. The next 2 years will require of us to become more self-reliant, responsible, develop our own resources, strengthen our character, and demonstrate resilience. A concern with security, a lack of awareness of other people’s rights, and a certain self-centeredness could be on the rise. Obstacles are overcome and lead to lasting achievements by us facing and conquering our fears with patience, ingenuity, realism, and methodical actions. Dignitaries could be short on diplomacy. Our perception of what constitutes leadership is likely to change rather dramatically. During this period there is no escaping hard work. Projects tackled with maturity and persistence are rewarded.

On Tuesday 2/17, Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (28º50’) which is opening the Fire Horse year. This degree is symbolized by “A butterfly emerging from a chrysalis”. Social issues are of concern. World events -especially if they threaten our security, could be alarming. It will be most important to clear our debts if any, create a financial plan that is both sound and practical, but also focus on our emotional security. This eclipse is inspiring us to free ourselves from the slavery of the matrix, discover and own our truth, as well as spread our wings with joy and confidence.

The year of the Fire Horse (until February 2027) is highly vibrant, electric, fiery, and passionate, inspiring adventure and freedom. The development of our intuition helps balance the instability, anger, and impetuousness that are likely to manifest. We are encouraged to assert our independence, make fearless decisions, and live boldly. Restlessness, acting on impulses, trusting our feelings, and following our desires fuel both our ambitions and our creativity. The speed of life accelerates. Unforeseen opportunities requiring quick decisions and unyielding determination make us unstoppable. Moved by a clear vision, great optimism, and not afraid to face intense challenges, we are attracted to new horizons, are eager to carve our own path, leap into action, and explore innovative ideas. Strong leadership abilities, dynamic career moves and diligent efforts bring significant achievements. As long as we keep the lines of communication open, relationships are favored. A year of big changes requiring that we take chances, break free from outmoded routines, speak our mind, and live from our hearts with great authenticity, wisdom, and bravery.

The Sun enters Pisces on Wednesday 2/18 till March 20. During the next 4 weeks, we are likely to feel more mellow, introspective, thoughtful, and sympathetic. Yoga, meditation, music, poetry, photography, painting, and dance are all encouraged. We may be a little disorganized, drift in daydreaming, and be driven by a strong yearning to be loved. More subdued, adaptable, impressionable, and compassionate than usual, we are drawn to developing our artistic talents and seek peace in a gentle manner.

Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday 2/26 at 22º34’ Pisces till March 20th (8º39’ Pisces). This degree is symbolized by “A jockey spurs his horse, intent on outdistancing his rivals.” Moved by a strong need to succeed, we could however feel somewhat lost as to what to prioritize in our lives. It may be a little difficult to differentiate reality from dreams, but if we can give a concrete form to a creative idea that had been collecting dust on a shelf, moved by new heights of inspiration, we shall find ourselves expressing original ideas.
