Weekly Astrology February 16 2026 Forecast for All Signs
ARIES
Meet your future self
In a world of imitators – stay unique
Be a unicorn!
You’re the most newsworthy sign of the zodiac this week, Aries. Hold the cosmic front page! This week sees the biggest and most pivotal astral event of the year – if not the century, takes place in your sign. The meeting between Saturn and Neptune (20th).
Saturn and Neptune come together in your sign rarely. How rarely you may ask? As rare as unicorn poo. In fact, you may fall off your unicorn when I tell you. The last time was 323 years ago in 1703. The time before that? 323 years previously in 1380. Before that? Here’s where it gets weird. There was a gap of 825 years. With the conjunction taking place in 555. And prior to that, two conjunctions 323 years apart in 232 and -91 BCE.
It’s not just the fact that this is an extremely rare conjunction that makes it so headline worthy. But the fact that it occurs at 0o of your sign. The very first degree of the 360o 12 house astrological chart. The inception or birth point in the sky. When something comes into being crossing from Pisces and the 12th house – the house astrologers refer to as ‘womb and tomb’ – and is born into the world.
These conjunctions have in the past coincided with massive shifts within the collective, new ways of thinking, and also clashes between the old order and the new. Last time Saturn and Neptune met in your sign, the American Civil War broke out. Past Saturn/Neptune alignments have also coincided with major events in Russia. 1703 was also the year that Russia’s most beautiful city – Saint Petersburg, was founded. It’s worth noting that Saturn will be opposing Vladimir Putin’s Libra Sun shortly. Watch this space!
Now you’ve climbed back on your unicorn, what about you, Aries? You are in fact, the unicorn of the zodiac right now. This is all about you – your face, appearance, look, message, style, presence, brand and identity. The unique unicorn that you are. IRL and online. It’s all about becoming. Born again Aries. The person you always knew you could be and set them free. Free of pressure to be anything else. This is the ultimate reality show and tell for you. Just who do you believe you are? And an invitation from the cosmos to become just that.
Born again Aries can refine and try on new personas for size for a soft launch before deciding on the one that truly reflects who they are thanks to this week’s other major event – the new Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and your 11th. This is you meeting future you and fusing the two together. Eclipses conceal and this hides the ultimate big reveal. Which in your house of friends, social sphere and the collective is all about how others see you. And how you want to be seen. Or simply you awakening to that latent individuality and pure brilliance within. Along with the goals that match this. You’re ready to launch. Free of what you no longer value. Or who doesn’t value what you and only you, uniquely bring to the table. In a world of imitations – be a unicorn, Aries.
In a nutshell: A once-in-323 year event takes place in your sign this week. The meeting between Saturn and Neptune. It ushers in a whole new identity for you, Aries. As well as how others see you. Don’t follow the herd. Unleash the unique unicorn within you!

TAURUS
Meet your destiny with arms wide open
Forever shifts
A new path reveals itself
Embrace the future you didn’t see coming this week, Taurus. Arms open wide. With curiosity and childlike awe and trust. Like all of us, you are poised on the brink of a profound shift. Celestial manoeuvrers in the secret sector of your chart combined with an eclipse in your status sector and ruler Venus’ meeting with the North Node in your house of the future this week, usher in a destiny driven new beginning. One that you may not anticipate, Taurus. But one that is needed, nevertheless.
The hidden gift that the once-in-generations Saturn/Neptune alignment in Aries and your 12th has for you, is that of a total change of perspective. When we think or see things differently – everything changes. It combines enhanced perception with reality. Cutting through illusion and also actual barriers between you and what you want.
This is an ultra-rare alignment. So rare in fact, that it last occurred 323 years ago. It takes place at 0o of Aries. This is the very first degree of the 360o astrological chart. The first point of creation, inception and becoming. In your house of the past and hidden truths. Expect a sudden expose. A radical reframing of how you look at things. Or how you believe them to be. You can’t unsee it once it is revealed. It changes everything.
This may have the effect of you seeing something you have committed to over the long term very differently. Or you understand the reasons why you chose what you did. As a consequence, you are free to choose again.
Eclipses conceal and the Annular Solar Eclipse which takes place with the new Moon in your 10th is no exception. As well as ushering in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse, it squares Uranus in your 1st. This is unexpected, surprising and what you didn’t see coming. It has the ability to radically innovate or even reboot your entire life path, plan, status, role or goals. Around your career or something long term you have poured your time and devotion into. Expect the shift that leads you to something not only satisfying, but also freeing, Taurus. You can have the stability you crave but also continue to grow. Watch and wait for the big reveal which shows you how you can achieve both. Now you see it.
In a nutshell: Expect a change around something you have invested in over the long term. Or you may now look at it very differently. Does it continue to sustain – or keep you stuck? This week shifts your perspective. Do you choose the same – or make a very different choice this time around?

GEMINI
Goals and wishes get grounded in reality
Aim higher
Ensure how you see yourself matches the image others have of you
Ruler Mercury’s trine to Jupiter in your 2nd from your house of success and status could usher in a win for you. In a week where everything is changing. You’re at your most visible and elevated now. Act accordingly and guard your reputation and public image, Gemini. We are entering the Aries Age where we become who we believe we are. But we need to also ensure the image we hold of ourselves, matches that of how others see and perceive us.
Saturn’s return to Aries and your 11th of friends, groups and the collective has seen it unpacking for a 2.5 year stay. Dreams and goals transform. You may aim for something far flung and beyond anything you imagined for yourself previously. But this is grounded in reality and surety driven steps to make it happen.
It has been 323 years since Saturn last encountered Neptune in this sector of your chart (20th). This once-in-generations conjunction occurs at 0o Aries – the very first degree of the 360 zodiac wheel. Making it even more charged and unusual. This is the point of birth, creation and inception. Where something crosses from the void or all-possibilities, and becomes very real. In your case, this is a new future pathway. And a new star you are aiming for, Gemini.
How others see you may change. Your social circle may shift. New people could enter. You could even break out into a fresh sphere which allows you to become who you really are. Again – your authenticity takes on a fresh focus. Being seen for who you are becomes a goal in itself. And a manifesto you live by. Neptune dissolves boundaries – in your thinking and beliefs when it comes to your goals. While Saturn grounds and reveals the steps you need to take to enter a new reality.
Heart-starting changes ignite the fire within you. This week’s new Moon in your 9th marks the start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse (17th). It also squares Uranus in your 12th and creates an Annular Solar Eclipse. That’s the kind which creates that ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun we see in so many eclipse photos. As eclipses conceal, this one hands a flash or glimpse of the truth. But then in the blink of an eye – it’s gone. Hold that thought, Gemini. Especially if it relates to you finding the courage to follow the path your heart is trying to lead you down.
This is your house of big goals and dreams, big loves, travel and exploration. Do take extra care if travelling under this eclipse. Especially as your ruler is now in retroshade. However, what’s promised is a change around your wishes, dreams and goals. Especially those big ones. From just imagining them to seeing them become very real. The same goes for romance or even friendship. In an era when we are all being called on to serve up the most authentic version of who we are to date, you’ll recognise that blue tick when it comes to lovers or others. As well as the green lights which show you that what looked far and out-of-reach, is actually closer than you ever imagined.
In a nutshell: You’ll take the first steps on a longer journey this week. This could be towards that goal you always imagined was out of reach. You’ve both the mindset and the determination to reach it now. Take the road less travelled, Gemini.

CANCER
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain?
Soundgarden. Black Hole Sun
This week ushers in a major new cycle of achievement, attainment and success for you, Cancer. It also marks the beginning of a global shift which will affect each and everyone of us on the planet. One way or another.
Before we unpack that, we have a new Moon in Aquarius and your 8th house of change, empowerment and transformation (17th). The Aquarius new Moon always marks the start of the Lunar New Year in Asia. This year is the Year of the Fire Horse. Your ruler also triggers an Annular Solar Eclipse. All eclipses are pivotal moments for you, Cancer. No matter if they are solar or lunar eclipses. Because one way or the other – your ruler is involved.
This is an Event Horizon moment for you. The eclipse’s square to Uranus in your 11th has the capacity to trigger a surprise shift in your future direction. Possibly via you confronting something you have avoided up until now. Your fears, trust issues and also your resources may play a role in this. You may have avoided leaning into change simply because of fears around losing something if you do. Anything from love to money. Or even leaving behind what you know – no matter whether it works or not for you, simply because your fear of the unknown is greater.
Gathering our courage to set permanent change is motion – or even seeing the results that stem from the actions we take, takes time. Time is what is on your side now, Cancer. Saturn back in Aries hands you determination and staying power. It’s meeting with Neptune on the 20th in here is something that has not occurred in 323 years. In your house of achievement, rewards and status.
This conjunction occurs at 0o Aries. Do check your own chart for any factors you may have at 0o Cancer. If you have them, this conjunction will square them. Asking for you to push against any resistance to change. The zero Aries degree is the first degree of the 360o zodiac wheel. The point of birth or inception in the sky. For you this is a new world order coming into being around your role or goal. A long term path to freedom as it involves Neptune – ruler of your house of expansion and freedom. This could not only overhaul your ideas around success or how you define it and where you want to go next, but also shift your ideas around partnerships and what a ‘successful’ relationship looks like. Or if may be that changes to your partner’s status impact on your own as Saturn rules Capricorn and your house of marriage, partners and all long term unions.
Don’t expect the world to automatically change on the day this meeting occurs. But it will bring in a definite change around your personal energy and how you use this. You will be infused with power, determination and the ability to rise above fears and restrictions. You’re no longer drowning, Cancer. You’re waving what you no longer want goodbye.
In a nutshell: Elevate those ambitions and refine your idea of what success looks like. You’re entering a once in generations cycle of attainment and achievement. Powered by inspiration. Fuelled by determination. Burn away those feelings of restriction in the heart of the eclipsed black hole sun.

LEO
Take your time with love decisions
Gain closure
Wild hearts – run free!
It Takes Two choices and decisions feature under this week’s eclipse in Aquarius and your 7th. This is an Annular Solar Eclipse (17th). The kind which produces that Ring of Fire effect around the Sun. Stop and take your time when it comes to any kind of partnership matter. Under a solar eclipse, you are temporarily discombobulated from your power. Or your ability to access heart-centered truth. This is because the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, cutting you off quite literally from your power. And plunging you into the unknowable and unforeseen if you rush.
This new Moon marks the start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. But hold your horses and please don’t gallop into making any kind of change or decision around unions. Past, present or potential. This includes pausing that swiping. Or even temporarily slowing that job search if you are seeking something which offers long term satisfaction or success potential. Other topics to be deferred include go/stay, moving in together, getting engaged or setting that date.
The eclipse squares Uranus – ruler of Aquarius and your strange and charmed love planet, in Taurus and your 10th. This is your blindside, Leo. Unexpected shifts or changes could catch you unawares when it comes to partners or even your career. If these do occur, understand that anything you did not want or initiate, is designed to set you up for the new cycle of freedom you are about to experience.
One additional piece of advice in a week which also sees Venus embrace a fated point in your chart as it entangles with the North Node in your 8th on the same day the eclipse happens. Sometimes we do not get closure. We have to consciously close a door ourselves. Especially if contact is suddenly cut, no explanation is given, or we are ‘ghosted’. New research now shows that while actual break-ups may be shocking and painful when they happen, the fact that we do have closure means we can move on and recover far more quickly than previously thought. But ghosting leads to long drawn out pain and questions for the ghosted party.
Yes, some connections may become so toxic we need to simply vanish in order to protect ourselves. But aside from these, don’t be a cruel ghost who continues to haunt, Leo. If something no longer works, wait at least two days until after the eclipse and let the other party know in person. If you are the ghosted one, use the eclipse to visualise closing that door. Send the energy into the dark heart of the Sun to be cleansed so you can move on.
Wild heart – you are meant to run free! Not be haunted by regrets or shadows from your past. Take it that the positive effect of this eclipse will be to remove these. Ahead of you lies boundless skies and limitless horizons to explore courtesy of Neptune in your 9th. While Saturn offers you the map and compass that leads to constructive exploration and freedom. It has been 323 years since Saturn and Neptune last embarked on a cosmic journey together in this sector of your chart. Their encounter (20th) is more than just planetary ships which pass in the night sky. Both planets entangle at 0o of Aries. The cosmic portal of potential that is the first degree of the 360o zodiac. The point where what is unknown comes into being or is ‘born’ into the physical world. Or degree of inception and new beginnings.
This marks the start of a bold new journey for you. Real or metaphorical. Neptune aligns your soul Satnav. Saturn shows you the steps you need to take in order to real your destination. Saturn’s progress is slow but also considered. It goes the distance especially in your house of big plans, vast experiences, and new horizons which beckon. You are free and unfettered to go where your soul dictates. Expect learning, travel and opportunities and experiences which enrich you. There’s a saying: Life is like a wild tiger. You can either lie down and let it put its paw upon your head. Or you can get on its back and ride it.
In a nutshell: Any eclipse can leave you temporarily discombobulated or feeling cut off from your power. Especially one in your partnership zone. You can’t hurry love this week. And certainly shouldn’t when it comes to major decisions around it. A new direction or fresh sense of freedom asks you reconnect to your heart. Then – follow.

VIRGO
Love comes full circle
Can you resist anything but temptation?
You rule, Virgo!
You are ascending into one of the most pivotal periods of self-rule this lifetime, Virgo.
Temptation, desire, passion – do you rule, resist or defy reason, Virgo? There’s more than one pivot point happening across potentially, more than one area of life, for you this week.
Ruler Mercury is getting shady in your love sector, but its trine to Jupiter in your 11th (16th) could see a new direction appear around a relationship, connection or goal. You also have Venus encountering the North Node (17th). Potentially flipping the switch on a key union, Or see destiny deliver a new one. The Sun’s arrival in Pisces and your 7th (18th), ushers in your annual partnership peak. But don’t go actively seeking someone new in a Mercury retrocycle. Instead relax and allow destiny to deliver.
Your work/life balance, day job, everyday habits and routine are areas you are naturally attuned to. And this is yet one more area subject to a profound reset with the new Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse in your 6th (17th). This ushers in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. Fit for purpose is a phrase that comes to mind here. You’ll be looking at areas such as supportive work, habits and even your everyday environment. And how these now measure up in terms of needing updating. Do sit with this process, Virgo. Eclipses conceal. An Annular eclipse is one that creates that Ring of Fire effect around the Sun. That ‘gut’ feeling or ‘ring of truth’ around something you do or are engaged in each day, asks you hold it and follow through. Do your due diligence. Allow the full Mercury retrocycle to do this.
By March, you will be ready to lean into any changes. Because this week also marks the start of your most magnificent metamorphosis yet! Around your deepest desires, intentions and personal mission in life. Believe in your power and self-rulership. Prepare to step up and take control of how your life unfolds. Especially around partnerships and intimate ties as Saturn joins Neptune in Aries and your 8th.
If you have given your power away – you will take it back now. It’s been 323 years since Saturn and Neptune met in this sector of your chart. Their meeting on the 20th at 0o Aries – the point of birth, new beginnings and inception, sees you revaluate your real needs, embrace karma lessons around partnerships and removes both indecisiveness and self-doubt when it comes to your direction.
Internal shifts result in powerful outer transformations that align with your reawakened sense of empowered renewal. Especially around money, resources, trust, intimate partners and you owning whether your desires are being met – or not. As for giving into temptation? Saturn allows you to assess whether this is good for you in the long term. Or not. Someone who is self-ruled exudes a magnetism that is hard to resist. So, it’s hardly your fault if you’re the temptation others simply can’t resist in turn. Could turn out that a little of what you fancy does you (and them), a whole lot of good.
In a nutshell: Blocks to intimacy are removed under this week’s Saturn/Neptune conjunction in your 8th. You’re radiating primal, magnetic energy channelled straight from the source, Virgo. Along with the Sun shining on partnerships, you’re simply irresistible. Embrace change. Especially when destiny delivers them!

LIBRA
What works may be counter-intuitive
The change you need may be the one you don’t see coming
Love means never having to lose yourself
Hidden truths around love, what you truly want and new beginnings spin out from the pleasure vortex created by the new Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse in your 5th this week (17th). Both your houses of love, relationships and attraction (5th and 7th), are impacted by this week’s major and potentially, love and life changing aspects.
First, ruler Venus leads you into a cosmic spa day for the soul as it meets the North Node in your 6th (17th). That self-care regimen, that work/life balance, those habits and that routine. What your brain is telling you that you ‘need’ in order to cope, relax, or lessen the stress may in fact be working against you. What seems counter-intuitive turns out to be the remedy instead.
This occurs the day of the new Moon and eclipse in Aquarius and your 5th house. The start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. In your house of fairground pleasure and carousel loves. Where you create and express yourself. Attract and embrace love, self-acceptance and creative fire. And are seen, celebrated and appreciated.
But hold those painted ponies, Libra! This is not just any eclipse but one which squares Uranus in your 8th. There’s a change you may not see coming hidden within this Annular Solar Eclipse. This is also the beginning of a new eclipse cycle which occurs when the Nodes change signs. Your future – especially your future around lovers, children or those creative projects, spins in a fresh direction. Where this takes you or the potential it hands you may not be immediately apparent. Watch and wait for further revelations. If the unforeseen does occur, keep an open mind. It’s all part of a bigger plan.
Do pause pushing ahead with the search for someone new or even that passion project under this eclipse. It is however perfect for reclaiming an old goal and re-envisioning it in some way.
What is being set in motion now truly is something bigger. You may begin to express this via your dissatisfaction with the status quo and your willingness to shake up those habits and patterns. You’re also looking at just who you are or become in a relationship with Saturn’s return to Aries and your 7th. Do you retain your identity? Or do you end up giving yourself away in order to gain love or approval? Do you feel you are ‘less than’ the wonderfully complete and courageous being you are if you don’t have a partner? Look to any issues around these themes as for the first time in our lifetimes, Saturn and Neptune entangle in Aries on the 20th.
Not only has this meeting not happened in 323 years, this time it occurs at 0o of Aries. Do check your chart for Libra factors at the zero degree. This is the most powerful degree in the 360o degree zodiac wheel. It is the point of birth, new beginnings, new eras and inception. For you, this is about the you + me of it all. Without losing who you are when one becomes two. Or finding yourself again if you’ve been lost. Know who you are, and your partnership choices become refined and rewarding.
Saturn represents boundaries and reality. Neptune the opposite. But fuse them together and this is no rom-com love. But the real deal as blocks between you and what you want, dissolve. Love redefined. And you along with it.
It may take a while for love’s new form or the way you relate both within partnerships and to yourself, to become clear. Saturn moves slowly. Neptune even more so. Watch for when ruler
Venus moves in and crosses zero Aries. Handing your the courage to live your love story. Your way.
In a nutshell: It’s zero hour when it comes to duos, duets and double acts of all descriptions this week. The meeting between Saturn and Neptune in Aries ushers in a new era of relating. One where you don’t have to give up who you are in order to be loved. There’s a plot twist ahead you didn’t see coming with the eclipse. That doesn’t mean it isn’t exactly what you need, however.

SCORPIO
How comfortable are you in asking?
Allow others into your inner world
Turn back time – don’t eat it!
Slow down, regulate and check that emotional temperature, Scorpio. Look to whether or not you feel safe, supported and secure. When it comes to getting those needs met – are you able to ask for what it is you want? Without being made to feel you are needy?
You are the sign which always has so much going on below the surface. Think of an iceberg for a moment. A thing of beauty as the sun glances off its pristine surface as it floats across the ocean. But that’s just the 1/10th we see. There’s the 9/10th that is submerged. This is a great metaphor for what is often going on in your own life, phoenix. What you show to the world is often simply a surface distraction. You keep the main stuff hidden from view. As a result, you may not only not choose to share it, but find it difficult to ask for help or what it is you need.
If you do, this says so much about the trust you place in the other party and your comfort level. But under this week’s eclipse in your 4th house (17th), you should not only look to rest, recharging and looking to what it is that provides you with that all-important feeling of safety; but how comfortable you feel about asking for what hands you this?
This is an Annular Solar Eclipse which squares Uranus in your 7th. From a simple hug or someone taking the time to listen. To practical help. Are you not asking because you’re afraid of a refusal? If so, then look to how this relationship may mirror past ones. Especially within your family growing up.
If you are thinking of a move – try to defer for now. Especially as you have an upcoming Mercury retrograde ahead. You may gain insight into how to tackle an ongoing family situation. You will also redefine your boundaries and what you allow to enter your sacred space. Such as too much screen time, doomscrolling or simply the demands of others and the outside world. Create a space which truly offers shelter. But not an icebox where you freeze others out, Scorpio!
Doors closing and opening are another apt metaphor for the Saturn and Neptune in Aries cycle. The who or the what which supports your daily life. Saturn and Neptune have not met up in this sector of your chart for 323 years. So, no-one alive today has experienced the historic encounter which occurs on Feb 20 before.
It’s rarity is reflected by the degree it takes place at – 0o of Aries. The very first degree of the 360 zodiac wheel. A power point of inception, birth and creation. Cosmic drift stops and resolves into a new direction your daily life and what you devote yourself to takes from here. A desire to make more of each day, to live in time vibrantly but in a way that is totally present. No more time wasting – Saturn rules time. Or pointless tasks that eat up your time.
Those of you who live in or near, or have visited Cambridge in the UK, would have seen the marvellous Corpus Clock. Also known as the Chronophage – ‘time eater’. Unveiled by the late, great Stephen Hawking, it is designed to show the relativity of time rather than the actual chronological time of day. For instance, it can run fast or slow, or stop completely. It only shows the correct time every five minutes!
Tempus fugit – time flies and Carpe Diem – seize the day, also apply to your life now. Neptune connects you to the relative aspects of time as it rules concepts such as theoretical physics. While Saturn makes you aware that time is finite. We’ve all experienced moments when time appears to stand still or becomes malleable. Such as when we get totally lost in an activity and are unaware of how much time has passed. Then there are those moments when we experience time in slow motion – often when we experience something potentially life changing, such as being caught in an accident for instance. Not that I am suggesting this conjunction will cause that. This is just to illustrate the elastic aspects of time which changes it according to our perception.
Take it you won’t waste yours with dead end jobs, tasks or even spending time in places or with people who drain or don’t enhance your daily life in some way. What we focus on usually expands. That includes the time we have at our disposal. Neptune pushes the limits on this even as Saturn tells you to create that schedule. Structure, schedules and time tables actually turn into the very thing that hands you more time. Slow is the new fast. No time like the present, Scorpio.
In a nutshell: Become a Time Lord or time turning wizard. Time is the most precious commodity we have. So use yours in the most effective way possible. Don’t allow it to pass you by. Or for what’s not important to eat it. Simply put: It’s high time, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS
Move from surviving to thriving
Ride that Fire Horse into a new cycle
From love to creativity – it’s the real deal, Sag!
Click those heels together and repeat after me: There’s no place like home. Good news around home or resources could be on its way this week thanks to Mercury in your 4th and its trine to ruler Jupiter in your 8th (16th). Venus also meets the North Node in here on the 17th. The upcoming Mercury retro will see Mercury go back and forth across the Node. If where you live is simply a house and not a home, expect to be guided to where yours is. Or a long standing property or family issue now resolves in your favour. From Oz to Kansas – find yours.
You’re back in eclipse territory this week, Sag. The new Moon in Aquarius and your 3rd also marks the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse (17th). But before you saddle up and gallop off into the sunrise in true Sagittarian fashion, it’s time to think through those plans. This is an Annular Solar Eclipse – the kind which produces the ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun we see in many eclipse photos. Eclipses cover up and conceal. An Annular eclipse gives us that flash of truth. Then it’s gone. Lights off.
Hold that thought. The new Moon/eclipse squares Uranus in your house of work and studies. You also have an upcoming Mercury retrograde. Something needs to be revised or revisited before you can move forward with it. Or you don’t yet have all the pieces of the puzzle. Wait until these assemble.
Are you your ideas? Our projects and plans are an extension of us. As is our online profile, feed or presence as these are often the platforms via which we express ourselves and our originality. Our creativity is something that crosses from the 12th house of imagination, and takes form in the 1st house of being in the world. In astrology this is the mysterious boundary from Pisces to Aries. Zero degree of Aries – the first degree in the 360o astrological wheel. The power point of birth, being and becoming. Where conception becomes reality.
It’s been 323 years since Saturn last encountered Neptune in Aries and your 5th. The fact the conjunction takes place at zero Aries makes it rarer still (20th). Something is being ‘born’ into your life. How you express yourself, via a relationship or something you conceive of, is literally being ‘born’ into being. A ‘child’ or creation of your soul and spirit if you like.
Neptune in your 5th links you to boundless love and infinite possibilities. Saturn ensures you don’t get lost in a Land of the Lotus Eaters hedonistic fantasy. This is about the living and breathing part of it. Keep in mind that this process may simply begin with gestation. It starts slowly. And then takes several months to appear. That slow burn romance that turns into something lasting. That creative idea you take time to bring to fruition. The direction your heart wants to lead you in unfolds – but you have yet to reach the destination. Both these planets move slowly. So don’t expect instant results.
Instant gratification takes too long for you. You can however expect boosts when Venus, the Sun and personal planets cross the Aries zero point. And again when ruler Jupiter arrives in Leo and your 9th this summer as it will trine both Saturn and Neptune. With the possibility of an even bigger milestone for you during your birthday season or when Saturn and Neptune trine your natal Sag factors. Do check your chart for anything close to zero. That’s not a low number, Sag. That’s as high as you can go now.
In a nutshell: The rare Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries and your 5th sees something being ‘born’ into your life. Around love, creative self-expression, what makes you stand out or even children. But this takes time. Go for the slow burn.

CAPRICORN
No more substitutions – go for what you really want
Focus on your values
Roots and purpose put you exactly where you need to be
Have you been settling for substitutions because secretly you believe you can’t have what you really want, Cappy? When it comes to something you can buy – you are the sign which personifies delayed gratification. You usually have no problem sticking to a plan to save up for that big ticket item.
But what about those things which are strictly personal? Are you compromising too much? Underselling yourself? Or selling out? Feeling undervalued? Or simply setting those sights too low? Accept no substitutions when it comes to how you know you deserve to be treated, loved and valued. This isn’t ego. This is knowing you are worthy. This week’s eclipse (17th), in your 2nd house of money, income, possessions and your core values, is a reset point for you. It ushers in a personal audit around your choices, what you have invested in and also what you have received in return.
This is an Annular Solar Eclipse. The kind which creates that ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun we see in many eclipse photos. The new Moon also ushers in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse which should see you set to make gains in the coming year. The eclipse squares Uranus in Taurus and your 5th. Providing you with a revelation around what substituting an alternative your heart really isn’t into, brings you. The buck stops here, Capricorn.
Ruler Saturn re-entered Aries and your 4th last week. The 20th marks a historic encounter between it and Neptune. It’s been 323 years since these two planets were last in residence in this house in your chart. What makes this conjunction rarer still is the fact it occurs at 0o Aries. The very first degree of the 360o zodiac. Opening up a portal to a new home, path or way of living.
Do check your own chart for natal Capricorn factors at 0o of your own sign. If you have them, then this life-shaping conjunction is asking you to forge your own path. To determine and define this. To ensure your way of living, your lifestyle and the direction your life takes is self-defined. And not just chosen out of conforming or family expectations. In other words – no substitutions around this either.
Your ruler moves slowly as well you know. Neptune – even more so. If you are thinking about a relocation, you may not be packing up immediately following this conjunction. This is about finding your emotional home just as it may be about a physical one. Neptune rules the spiritual and that includes soul families. Saturn is all about the structure, four walls which shelter and embrace you. For some, this could be a community. For others its the work they do which provides both purpose and monetary security. For others, its their family or simply coming home to the truth around what they need. Keep in mind that while we don’t choose our families, we can choose our path. And also homes and even places choose us in return. Your homing beacon is turned on no matter what or where this looks like. Flyaway home, Capricorn.
In a nutshell: For the first time in 323 years, ruler Saturn meets Neptune in your 4th house. Ushering in a whole new era around your roots, home, foundations or lifepath. You may put down roots somewhere new. Or send them deeper where you are. But one thing is certain – it’s your definition of what home is that calls.

AQUARIUS
You’re the star of the show – so write it any way you want
Your thoughts and ideas – on fire!
Dreams remain just that – until you act to make them real
Welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse, Aquarius. The new Moon in your sign (17th), always marks the start of the Lunar New Year in Asia. This year this also coincides with an eclipse in your sign. Which in turn squares ruler Uranus in your 4th. Marking the beginning of a great unfolding when it comes to those long term personal plans. It’s a fresh direction or launch. But this is more a dress rehearsal than opening night.
Eclipses always cover up or conceal. This is an Annular Solar Eclipse on the new Nodal axis. The North Node arrives in your sign later this year. Which will also put the South Node in your opposite sign of Leo. An Annular eclipse creates that ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun we see in many eclipse photos. So, this is a flash of insight, a piece of a larger puzzle or something which has the ‘ring of truth’ about it. But then – it’s gone before we can fully grasp it.
So, your best tactic is to slow down two days before the eclipse, to avoid launching or initiating something new under it. And to simply watch and wait or try things on for size before going all-in. Just like a rehearsal, you are free to change up anything from the costumes to the set or even to your fellow cast members before opening night!
As all this takes place in your sign, you are therefore the writer, director, designer and the star. And can change this up anyway you wish. Especially when it comes to what you believe you are able to have, do or attain for the coming year. Uranus in the mix always tells you to be prepared and expect the unexpected. Any changes around anything you have counted on or rely on, should be seen as catalysts for you to become more innovative. Again – don’t be afraid to re-write that script.
What you say, think and communicate, share and send out, your online presence, feed, podcast or page, your day job, that manuscript, thesis, business plan, learning course, resume, portfolio, project or plan should be benefitting from Neptune’s limitless imagination and inspiration now it is in your house of communication. Old ruler Saturn joined it last week. This week sees both meet (20th). Something which has not happened for 323 years. What makes this rarer still is that both planets entangle at 0o Aries. The very first degree of the 360o zodiac. And the power point of birth, inception and creation.
Aries is the sign of action. We can weave the most wonderful dreams (Neptune), but unless we do something with them – they remain just dreams and possibilities and permanently out of reach. Saturn brings the plan, the structure, steps and staying power. It’s ‘If you build it, they will come’. Or if you follow through, you get to live the dream. It can be as simple as updating your CV so you can actually apply for a new job rather than simply sitting around and complaining about the one you have. To coming up with a plan which chunks down all the steps you need to take in order to take that idea from concept to launch.
Saturn asks for structure and a systematic approach. While Neptune infuses you with vision. Use both and this could literally result in the idea whose time has come. Or you simply making the right move at the right time. Don’t rush the process but do start it, Aquarius. Those ideas? On fire in the Year of the Horse!
In a nutshell: The new Moon and eclipse in your sign marks the start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. And has you redefining your identity. Try a few new personas on for size until you find the one who feels right. The meeting between Saturn and Neptune takes you to the edge of possibilities. Where intention meets those dreams. To turn mere ideas into reality.

PISCES
Don’t second-guess your insight
Dance with abundance
Happy free flowing birthday, Pisces!
Happy birthday, Pisces. No more swimming in two directions or feeling you are being pulled by the tide in one you don’t want to go. You enter your new cycle not only beautifully aligned internally. But with a clear vision around where you want to go or what you want to achieve next. This is the first time the Sun (18th) has entered your 1st free of the influence of both Saturn and ruler Neptune for 14 years. The energy feels more free flowing. What’s more, you are no longer treading water or struggling to stay afloat.
If any residue or confusion remains, this week rids you of it. It’s not just the Sun’s arrival that marks the start of a brand new cycle of effortless surrender and a near magical letting go into something soul-starting. You are the sign very comfortable with drifting back and forth between the spiritual realm and the physical world. You may live between altered states of reality or dimensions. A true denizen of the multiverse and multidimensional being. You awareness and ability to go with the flow when the cosmic energy changes, is an advantage you have over other signs. You will therefore be very aware of the energy shifting across several areas of your life now. You’ll gladly allow yourself to surrender to the changing tides as Mercury in your sign trines old ruler Jupiter in your 5th (16th), and Venus aligns with the North Node (17th).
That residue or final removal of any remaining questions around ‘Where to next?’ happens with the new Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse in your 12th (17th). This is also the start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. This is all about what you need to know due to its square to Uranus in your 3rd. Understand this may be revealed via an unexpected source. Or may not be what you think.
This is your house of intuition and this is the one area that eclipses cannot scramble. An Annular Solar Eclipse creates that ‘Ring of Fire’ effect around the Sun we see in many eclipse photos. So, we get a glimpse of something with a ‘ring of truth’ about it, or we feel it in our guts – but then it’s gone. What an eclipse hides can take a while to emerge from the shadows. So, if you have a strong flash of insight around something, take it as accurate. But then use the upcoming Mercury retrograde in your sign to dig deeper and uncover the rest. Or trust that it will happen organically.
Saturn moved out of your sign last week. This week sees it meet up with ruler Neptune in Aries and your house of money, possessions, values and self-worth. It’s been 323 years since Saturn and Neptune last met in this section of your chart. So, this is the first time this has happened in many generations. What makes it even more unusual is that the meeting occurs at 0o Aries. The very first degree of the 360o zodiac. And arguably the most powerful.
It’s a point of birth, creation and inception. It is also a point in the sky you are very attuned to. Because it is that point between worlds and dimensions. Between conceiving and being. The place where possibilities make themselves known. And where you dance and allow those cosmic tides to move freely. Do check your natal chart for anything at 0o Aries as many Pisces have Aries factors. There is no 30th degree in any sign. We always say within one degree is a conjunction. So 29o of Pisces counts too.
Shake off old patterns and limiting views around abundance in all its forms, money, savings, income and your potential earning capacity. Neptune opens you up to new and soulfully aligned ways to make your money. While Saturn helps with doing the work or even budgeting. I’ve written about common Saturn myths elsewhere. But one of these is the misconception that Saturn in your money zone automatically means austerity bites. Not so. Many extremely successful and wealthy individuals have their natal Saturn in their 2nd house. The trick is to have a spending plan and to make what you already have at your disposal, work harder for you. Yes, this may initially mean cutting back on what you want and only spending on what you need. But this is all about short term pain for long term gain. Or financial stability. So if this means cancelling those subscriptions for now, stay focussed on what you will eventually have to bank to show for this.
Think rich in more ways than one. We can be talent rich, time rich, rich in love and support. It’s all abundance at the end of the day. Saturn isn’t just about budgets and spending plans. It’s about conservation too. That means not wasting your precious assets on anything that doesn’t value or appreciate them. Saturn in here can deliver that connection that is ‘solid gold’. That partner, working relationship or friend who you know is there for you.
Neptune shows you that there’s a spiritual side to money. A karmic accounting. It can either make us grow in compassion and when we have more of it, we become more generous with those we care about as well as wanting to use it to make the world a better place. Neptune asks you give back once you find yourself in a position where you have more than you need. Such as to a charity that is close to your heart. One word of advice from both planets: do not lend people money unless you can afford to write it off. No matter whether that person swears blind they will pay you back. They may not. If this will leave you short-changed, jeopardise your connection, or if this is a pattern, don’t be afraid to say no. Above all, both planets ask you invest in a richness of the spirit. And don’t judge anyone by what they have or earn. Currency and abundance ‘flows’. You’re plugged right into more than one new cycle this week, Pisces. Go with it.
In a nutshell: Don’t question those ‘gut’ feelings or flashes of intuition you receive under this week’s eclipse. They will prove to be right on the money. Your birthday cycle hands you a fresh balance sheet when it comes to money, abundance and your values. Could be you’re in karmic credit, Pisces. Remember – what goes around comes around. The same is true for money.
