The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius shows up on February 17th, 2026, at 7:01 AM ET, right on the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse! Plus, this is a rare “Ring of Fire” where the Moon moves over the Sun in such a way that all you can see is a “ring of light.” Whoa! Long story short: this one packs a punch. Eclipses tend to be intense, so there is always an unpredictable edge when they arrive on the scene. In far-out Aquarius, this feels like a reset button for the collective. Something new is being born. A revolution? Cultural shift? Maybe both. The energy is dynamic, the people want change, and this lunation says: bring it!
New Moons are a time for beginnings – out with the old, in with the new. Doors may open suddenly while others slam shut. Unexpected opportunities might point toward a new destiny. Remain where you are? Nope. It’s time to go forth and see what is possible. Remember, Aquarius is future-oriented. That means a new way is being shown. Don’t get left behind. Embrace change, even if it feels uncertain.
Other Aquarius themes are friendship, humanitarianism, technology, and community. As more people become disenchanted with social media and AI, this Eclipse might spark an exodus. Analog life might suddenly make more sense than being tethered to phones that divorce us from human contact. Big tech is counting on AI to be the next thing, but the revolt is growing louder. This could be the beginning of a mass tipping point as the collective decides the environment is more important than lining billionaires’ pockets. On a personal level, friendships may change. If your social circle no longer fits, move on. Seek new communities, groups, and alliances.
Aquarius is also associated with social justice. After a rough year of civil liberties being violated and rights taken away, something might give around this day. The pendulum wants to swing – and hit back hard.
This Solar Eclipse is framed by a Mercury-Jupiter trine and the Sun’s entry into Pisces, a watery combo that means actions are fueled by emotion and compassion, both before and after the Eclipse. There is only one way to go from here: forward with love.
And let’s not forget: a few days after the Eclipse, Saturn and Neptune align at 0º Aries, a rare occurrence that marks a significant fresh start. No matter how badly we mucked it up, we can begin again. Pay close attention to this week.- The cosmos seems to be setting us up for a redo. It’s the beginning of something much bigger. Giddy up!
