The Daily Astrological Currents by Week

Weekly Summary: FEBRUARY 15 - FEBRUARY 21

"Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them."

— Nikola Tesla

This Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) brings with it the 'transmutation' of the last lunar cycle's heavy sense of responsibility into a deeply powerful, active, and mystical awareness of the connection of all things. The seeding of 'connectedness' in this new lunar cycle brings a new sense of responsibility that emphasizes our connection to each other, rather than adherence to dogmatic authority. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. The New Moon squares now direct Uranus from Aquarius to Taurus — both fixed signs. The fixed elements may initially seem to hold things together tightly. But the Moon arrives in mutable Pisces within hours and the Sun moves into Pisces the following day, suggesting that the 'hold' begins to slip almost immediately. The New Moon is imbued with a demand for freedom, which initially may only be seen in the way that we 'dig in our heels' and simply refuse to conform. A Mars-Vesta conjunction completes just ahead of the New Moon, which is likely to leave some residual self-righteousness when we feel that our individual efforts and sacrifices have not been recognized sufficiently. Once the Sun moves into Pisces, we find a strong pull between material and spiritual reality, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. Nonetheless, Mercury and Venus both make trines to Jupiter as it begins to slow down to station direct next month, offering support for the building imperative to find and strengthen our connections to others through collective, cooperative action. The erratic, 'genius' qualities of Aquarius and Uranus are certainly present in this week's atmosphere as well, providing sporadic insights that slowly open the door to deeper intuitive inspiration. By Friday, Saturn and Neptune finally complete a powerful conjunction on the first degree (0° Aries) of the Zodiac, suggesting a potent 'reset' or a 'new beginning'. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction can suggest the restriction of Neptune's inspiration and intuitive insight but, with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus now in Pisces, the overall atmosphere is highly supportive of intuition, further encouraging deep collective connection. Neptune also works on Saturn to break down the restrictions and 'crystallization' elements that are generally associated with Saturn's strict authority. We may find ourselves seeking some kind of new 'rule book', a higher authority that we can follow. This is nothing less than a profound shift in our conception of what 'faith' actually is. The information or 'facts' we once might have 'taken on faith', as dispensed from some kind of 'authority', is no longer relevant. In the place of such authority, we will begin to recognize our connection to the totality of all things and the inherent responsibility associated with that connection. Through an expanding awareness of where our actual responsibilities lie, we can begin to recognize the empowering gift of true connection that facilitates our individual participation in the conscious act of creation that underlies our material existence.

Sunday brings a remarkable amount of ability to 'stand one's own ground' while quietly expressing a 'dedication of purpose'. The insights arrive sporadically throughout the day. We may hear clear messages and see obvious developments on Monday that demonstrate how close we are to a dramatic turning point. Nonetheless, there is some kind of demand for proof — even when the proof is inescapably obvious. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center on Tuesday, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. A collective sense of purpose rises out of the ashes of individual doubt. There is a strong pull between material and spiritual reality on Wednesday, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. A gambling instinct may also begin to surface that is displayed through foolishly misplaced sympathy or ineffective self-sacrifice. We are offered a 'check point' on Thursday for the shifts that are underway. We seem to be offered an opportunity — perhaps a last opportunity — to double check our individual message before we deliver it. Perhaps the biggest challenge in Friday's atmosphere is being completely honest about what we are seeing directly in front of us. What is most helpful here is finding some support from those around us. Flexibility is extremely important on Saturday and any self-righteousness or lack of acceptance will keep us seriously off balance. It is important to be prepared to respond quickly to any unexpected opportunities or surprising shifts in circumstance.

Sunday February 15, 2026

This morning's Moon-Pluto conjunction (6:09 AM PST) provides a remarkable amount of ability to 'stand one's own ground' while quietly expressing a 'dedication of purpose'. The Sun heads towards a quietly momentous square to Uranus all day today, completing the square at 9:01 PM PST. The insights arrive sporadically throughout the day. The desire for freedom is also building today but may only be seen in the way that we 'dig in our heels' and simply refuse to conform. As we approach Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius), the heavy sense of responsibility is beginning to transform into a powerful sense of connection. The Moon's square to Uranus at the New Moon will offer a dramatic follow-up to today's determined desire for freedom.

Monday February 16, 2026

We may hear clear messages and see obvious developments today that demonstrate how close we are to a dramatic turning point. Nonetheless, there is some kind of demand for proof — even when the proof is inescapably obvious. As we approach an obvious 'fresh start', many of us might prefer to stay in some kind of familiar past routine — but "Good luck with that!". The high degree of self-righteousness that seems to be stirring in this atmosphere may surface through feelings that our sacrifices have not been recognized sufficiently. Faith in 'the process' is extremely important here. We are reaching an awareness of a new level of responsibility that emphasizes our connection to each other, rather than adherence to dogmatic authority. Individual sacrifice and personal effort is automatically incorporated into the pioneering new ventures and initiatives that are nearing the surface of our collective, conscious awareness. Jupiter has reached the degree where it will station direct (on March 11th). Today's Mercury-Jupiter trine provides plenty of philosophical insight to understand the opportunities for transformation that we are being offered — if we are willing to listen. These insights will help to inform our sense of direction over the next few months.

Tuesday February 17, 2026

This morning's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) brings with it the 'transmutation' of the last lunar cycle's heavy sense of responsibility into a deeply powerful, active, and mystical awareness of the connection of all things. A collective sense of purpose rises out of the ashes of individual doubt. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. We may find ourselves seeking some kind of 'rule book', a higher authority that we can follow. This is nothing less than a profound shift in our conception of what 'faith' actually is. The information or 'facts' we once might have 'taken on faith' dispensed from some kind of 'authority' is no longer relevant. In the place of such authority, we will begin to recognize our inherent connection to the totality of all things. With that sense of connection, we can begin to recognize what it actually means to participate in the act of creation that is our material existence.

Wednesday February 18, 2026

The Sun arrives in Pisces this morning. The Moon moved into Pisces shortly after yesterday's New Moon and has moved far enough to trine Jupiter by 10:30 AM PST this morning, 'carrying the light' into a conjunction with Mercury this afternoon (3:08 PM PST), suggesting a highly intuitive, 'dreamy' atmosphere today. Our perceptions of the shifts, arising out yesterday's New Moon, may be somewhat foggy — lacking clarity. There is a strong pull between material and spiritual reality, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. A gambling instinct may also begin to surface that is displayed through foolishly misplaced sympathy or ineffective self-sacrifice. Any generosity that we find here needs to be acknowledged and reciprocated or we risk missing the important sense of connection that is offered.

Thursday February 19, 2026

The Moon makes a sextile to Uranus this morning (7:22 AM PST) before going VOC until 11:38 AM PST. The Moon's arrival in Aries quickly conjuncts Saturn and Neptune ahead of tomorrow's exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction. We are offered a 'check point' for the shifts that are underway — something like a last minute 'mic-check' before an important performance. The Moon's follow-up sextile to Pluto early this evening provides significant strength and sense of purpose or 'mission' — the sense that we have a 'message to deliver'. We do seem to be offered an opportunity — perhaps a last opportunity — to double check that message before it is delivered.

Friday February 20, 2026

Saturn and Neptune finally complete a powerful conjunction on the first degree (0° Aries) of the Zodiac, suggesting a potent 'reset' or a 'new beginning'. It is notable that, although the Saturn-Neptune conjunction can suggest the restriction of intuitive insight, the overall atmosphere is highly supportive of intuition, encouraging deep collective connection. Perhaps the biggest challenge in today's atmosphere is being completely honest about what we are seeing directly in front of us. What is most helpful here is finding some support from those around us. There is very little here to encourage or support any sort of delusion — but reality may be very difficult to accept on a surface level, leaving us in some kind of untenable position. Unless, that is, we are able to access the still small voice of our intuition which is offering a surprisingly simple perspective that offers us any number of possible solutions.

Saturday February 21, 2026

Today's Aries Moon sextiles Mars early (3:11 AM PST) this morning and then goes VOC until arriving in Taurus at 3:30 PM PST this afternoon. Venus (ruling the Moon's arrival in Taurus) is approaching a trine to Jupiter (which will complete early tomorrow) as it is slowing to station direct on March 11th. The Venus-Jupiter trine increases the availability of intuitive guidance. There is certainly the potential for some self-righteousness along with difficulty accepting the reality of what we can see directly in front of us. Flexibility is extremely important here and any self-righteousness or lack of acceptance will keep us seriously off balance. It is important to be prepared to respond quickly to any unexpected opportunities or surprising shifts in circumstance. Last Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) was tightly square to Uranus which, although stabilized by the fixed sign placements, is beginning to show the increased likelihood of surprising developments.
