Weekly Horoscope: February 16, 2026 to February 22, 2026—Solar Eclipse Destiny

Eclipses are some of the most powerful and fascinating cosmic energies to deal with. When it comes to an eclipse, not only must we know where it falls in each of our individual natal charts, but we must look at the zodiac sign it is within, the aspects it is making, and how it is expressing itself. Major events tend to happen around an eclipse—especially if they align with planets and house cusps in our natal chart—particularly the angular ones. This is because Eclipses are like chariots on fire and carry us rapidly into the next phase of our journey. Prepare for the first of two eclipses to arrive now.

The Energy Profile Of This Week

The week ahead could be one of the most important ones of the entire year—and there are many reasons for this. First and foremost, we’ll notice the intense energy of the solar eclipse in Aquarius, which appears on February 17 and opens a doorway for us in the coming six months ahead. Eclipses in Aquarius draw attention to collective communities, aspirations, hopes, dreams, and our networks. As much as I’d love to report this is a “happy” eclipse, unfortunately, Uranus, the planetary ruler of this lunation, is directly square it—causing the possibility of accidents, explosive events, and sudden news out of left field both in our personal lives, around us, and on the world stage. 

The sun will enter Pisces on February 18, ushering us into more sensitive and spiritual energy. With many planets and now the sun in Pisces, our hidden depths, intuition, and hunger for mysticism and spirituality must be explored.

Yet, while I drew great attention to the solar eclipse in Aquarius, we have an extremely mighty astrological energy crystalizing on February 20 with Saturn uniting in a conjunction with Neptune in the skies of Aries. In truth, this energy can go one way or the other. For instance, it can bring great sorrow, loss, and disillusion, as we realize reality must conquer dreams and emotions. On the other hand, it can also manifest or materialize a heartfelt dream coming true for those who have sacrificed and worked tirelessly for their goals. On the world stage, this week is important to watch, but in reality, we are feeling this energy for months before and after this. With this occurring in Aries, we must pay careful attention to independence, ego, “conquest energy,” and action. Everything occurring now is especially karmic in nature.

As for daily cosmic energy, February 16 will certainly bring jarring news, but we may still feel a desire to socialize or look at the bright side. February 22 is especially sweet for romance, pleasure, and indulgence, so no matter what you’re going through at this time—“treat yourself” if you can.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

The energy of the solar eclipse could bring a destined opportunity when it comes to your professional world, Taurus. For instance, you may now be able to rise higher in your industry, hear of a promotion, or instead decide to go in an entirely new direction. You appear to be the one pushing the boundaries and thinking outside of the box at this time—just don’t be reckless.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

The universe is offering a solar eclipse to you in a fellow air sign, and you may like it more than other zodiac signs, Gemini. This will blend with your sense of adventure, pushing you to move in fresh directions in as many ways as possible. However, be aware that there is a corkscrew being thrown your way from behind the scenes, even if it’s just a sense of anxiety or a secret coming out.

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

As the heavens tilt, a solar eclipse in your sector of wealth will open a door to you at this time, Cancer. On one hand, you may be able to monetize on a much larger level—like hitting the jackpot—whether that’s around investments, assets, a settlement, or beyond—but be aware that there appears to be a hiccup in regards to a friend, someone in your network, or a problem as you pursue a heartfelt aspiration.

LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)

This week’s solar eclipse happens across the sky from you in your sector of partnerships, Leo. This can be a big triumph around union, like getting engaged, making long-term promises, becoming wed, or signing contracts. Instead, you may find that you’re just not on the same level. Also, be aware that there appears to be some rocky news in relation to professional matters at this time.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)

Destiny is calling to you, Virgo, and the solar eclipse energizes your productivity zone. This can bring fresh news around routines, responsibilities, employment, or even health matters—and could bring you the vitality to tackle them all and improve your strength. However, be aware that there’s something amiss out of left field, like legalities, travel, or something unexpected that rattles your nerves.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)

A powerful solar eclipse is arriving for you, Libra, and you may enjoy it far more than some of the other zodiac signs. This lunation energizes your sector of passion, pleasure, and the love that you give—which could provide happiness regarding meeting a soulmate, falling in love, or some time to pursue entertainment, hobbies, or creativity. Yet, the universe is being tricky at this time, which could cause frustrations around wealth matters, trust, or intimacy.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21)

The most major news of the week is going to turn your attention to a destined shift around your domestic life, Scorpio. The solar eclipse will bring power to your living situation, home, real estate, or family—causing a dramatic new beginning to be presented to you. On one hand, this could be exhilarating, like you’re able to move, or instead could bring some drama, especially in relation to a partnership.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)

The solar eclipse that is arriving is pushing you to shake things up and pursue a fresh perspective, Sagittarius. This could bring destiny in relation to an intellectual pursuit, contracts, your social life, or even travel. However, something seems to be throwing you “off,” whether it’s something in your physical health, routines, or employment.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)

Solar eclipses often open massive new doors to us, and this one is all about income and finances, Capricorn. This could be exhilarating, like you’re offered a raise, new job, or find another way to add income to your life. Yet, be aware that there appears to be a corkscrew here, whether that’s your love interest or child acting up, or the need to spend more on a passion project.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)

One of the most important weeks of the year is here for you, Aquarius, and destiny is calling your name. A solar eclipse in your zodiac sign will echo like thunder and open a massive door to you to pursue a whole new path and “version of you.” Now is a time to be courageous and eager, as you carve out a fresh journey. However, be aware that something in relation to home, family, or your domestic life could be a thorn in your side.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)

While you’ve experienced many solar eclipses in recent years that have ricocheted quite intensely for you, Pisces, this week’s lunation is a bit different, as it will force you to lie low, rest, and recharge. This could be that you’re feeling quite tired and depleted – or that you need to work with specialty staff, even if it’s someone like a dental procedure.
