Dark Aquarius Moon and Solar Eclipse Feb 17th, 2026

This eclipse brings a good nudge to see where we haven’t been authentic and the challenges that arise provide the opportunity for new beginnings. The Aquarius energy focuses on fellowship and community washing away the old and allowing for something new to grow. 

Conjunctions 

• Sun ☌ Moon ☌ Mars ☌ Vesta: This is a conjunction balancing the external with the internal. Bringing our deepest emotions and desires to the surface blending with our external motivations and actions.
• North Node ☌ Pallas ☌ Venus: Encouraging us to embrace our desires as we step forward 
• Saturn ☌ Neptune:  Structural Dissolution & Reform. Seeing our systems through the a new perspective.
• Ceres ☌ Chiron ☌ Eris : confronting the superficial and pushing us to plant seeds of reform calling for healthy new growth.
• Uranus ☌ Sed: disruptive truths

Retrogrades 

• Jupiter: encourages turning inward to reassess beliefs, education, and, and long-term goals

Major Transitions 

• Sun ☌ square Uranus ☌ – highly disruptive and can bring rebellious, impulsive, abrupt, and innovative energy.  Shows us everything we need to see to wash away any dissolutions.  Flaws will be revealed prompting a fresh start. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown. 

• Jupiter opposite Juno – How can you navigate the tension of commitment and freedom?

• Jupiter trine Mercury – expanding thought

• Pioneering trine with Saturn and Neptune at point continues to show us new perspective and wise insight 
• The eclipse will progress as follows, according to Time and Date:
  • Partial eclipse begins — 4:56 a.m. EST (0956 GMT)
  • Maximum “ring of fire” annularity — 7:12 a.m. EST (1212 GMT)
  • Partial eclipse ends — 9:27 a.m. EST (1427 GMT)
    • Only a very small region of Antarctica lies in the path of annularity, a roughly 2,661-mile-long and 383-mile-wide (4,282 by 616 kilometers) corridor where the moon will cover about 96% of the sun’s disk. Viewers elsewhere in Antarctica and across parts of southern Africa and southernmost South America will see a partial solar eclipse rather than a full “ring of fire”.

This is a potent time of change. The Large external planets are shifting signs and calling for us to see our world as it truly is. It is a time when we see our governments and leaders as they are and we are encouraged to stand up against lies, corruption, and greed. The Eclipse brings everything to the forefront like a quick sweeping illumination of all the dark corners we often choose not to see.
