Today's Aquarius Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

February 17, 2026

Today's Solar Eclipse is in your sign, dear Aquarius, setting you up for new personal beginnings. You are exploring your independence now and in the coming months. It's time to reinvent yourself with new and improved ways of expressing or presenting yourself. Circumstances can prompt a rethinking of your general attitude towards new beginnings, bravery, your role as a leader, your independence, and the ways you instinctively defend yourself. Keep in mind that you can feel a little wiped out around the time of the eclipse before energy rebuilds, and this is natural. Aim to focus on changing your personal habits to improve your confidence and put your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will be noticed and make a powerful impression on others. Going forward, people build their faith in you, and this only serves to motivate you further to present the best version of yourself. Ease yourself into this dynamic phase of your life--eclipse energy should never be rushed.

The Astrology of Today – All Signs

Horoscope for All on Tuesday, February 17, 2026

A New Moon/Solar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Aquarius today at 7:01 AM EST.
This eclipse is the first in a Leo-Aquarius set that runs until January 2028.
In the sign of Aquarius, today's eclipse is about friendship, fellowship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group.
It might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works!
Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves.
It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our happiness goals and alliances.
This New Moon clashes with Uranus, bringing rebellious, impulsive, abrupt, and innovative energy to the mix.
We may go against our best interests by rushing things or disconnecting with our hearts to the point that we are rebelling or reacting instead of doing what we truly want to do.
This eclipse occurs close to the iconic Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries, effectively magnifying its energies.
With this transit, our sense of security is dissolving so that it can be rebuilt.
New truths or realities are revealing themselves.
Due to this powerful transformation, we can be more susceptible to stress.
While there can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, we’re determined to start fresh.
We can be managing skepticism, frustrations with inconsistencies, and difficulties trusting what to believe as we reanimate our vision and sense of hope.
Erratic sources of income or changing values can be part of the challenge now.
It’s also important to remember that an eclipse obscures an area of our lives while magnifying another, which is useful as long as we keep this in mind.
As such, our view is skewed and exaggerated.
In other words, we’re not seeing the whole picture, and we should therefore proceed with caution.
Also today, Venus aligns with the North Node, and we may connect with others who help move us closer to our objectives.
We are more agreeable, cooperative, and concerned with harmonizing.
Making fortunate connections is likely.
The Moon is void today from 7:02 AM EST, with the Moon's last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to the Sun), until the Moon enters Pisces at 9:10 AM EST.

This Week in Astrology

This Month: Aquarius

February 2026 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:

February is very much about attending to your personal needs, dear Aquarius. Generally speaking, things are playing in your favor. With Mars in your sign all month, your independence and freedom are especially important to you. Your desire nature is very powerful, and while you may need to tone it down a little at times, if you use this period well, you’ll have all the courage necessary to make your dreams happen. The ball is very often in your court this month.

This can be a time of moving ahead with personal plans, becoming more active and involved, communicating, learning, and competitive undertakings. Mind you, you could feel that you’re often left to your own resources or especially independent, and this may or may not be welcome at this time in your life! However, certain people in your life seem to have your interests, agenda, and happiness in mind.

If you’ve been hesitant about starting a new project or plan of action, you’ll be ready this month to go forward. You are not only more assertive, energetic, and decisive, but you're also understanding the value of sometimes slowing down, and your personal presence is strong. Those of you taking courses or studying should be especially successful this month. Do watch for impatience and rebelliousness with planets in your sign squaring Uranus in spots this month. Disconnects with others can be part of the picture, particularly related to home or family life. Still, these interruptions have a way of pointing out new ways to do things you may not have seen otherwise.

Mars fires up your confidence and brings a more aggressive approach to your world, which could use some refining. Fortunately, Venus helps do just that while transiting your sign until the 10th, after which a more conscious effort is recommended for best results. Find ways to let your confidence and initiative work for you rather than against you.

The Full Moon on the 1st brings a whirlwind of emotion and activity with a close partner. It can mark a turning point for a key relationship. Just two days later, your planetary ruler, Uranus, turns direct after months of retrograde motion. Stalled or blocked endeavors, particularly around the home, can resume. It's another signal that you’re reawakening.

February is a brilliant month for learning new and exciting things. Your mind is often racing in the first two weeks. You are bolder than usual and motivated to pursue what you want and to prove your worth. There may be job offers or opportunities and significant bonuses or gifts this month.

The Solar Eclipse on the 17th is powerful. It occurs in your sign, and it can push you to leave something in your past in a big way so that you can begin anew. It helps pave the way for personal changes in the coming weeks, months — even years! It’s a time to reinvent yourself, such as with a new way of expressing and presenting yourself. Consider putting your best foot forward, as you are getting noticed and making a strong personal impression on others. You are braver and more adventurous, seeking out new experiences, and even if you aren’t consciously trying to find them, experiences will find you! Aim to get in touch with what you truly want.

While February is a month of opportunity, avoid trying to “do it all” too soon and too quickly. Instead, focus on one or two opportunities and projects. It should be a strong month for money matters. Emotionally, you’re definitely moving forward this month! On some level, this is a time for reinventing yourself. Your powers of attraction run very high, and people seem to notice your charm more than usual. After the Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 17th, you could feel a desire to update your appearance or change your presentation if you’ve been looking for a breath of fresh air. You might also envision what you’d like to make of the year ahead.

This eclipse acts as a powerful slate cleaner. Something new begins, and it can feel much like a new chapter in your life story. You are ready to kick bad habits, start fresh, and present a more self-assured “you” to the world. While there may be some discomfort, it's motivating you to start fresh. You’re getting several boosts, pushing you into the driver’s seat. This eclipse is the first in a set in the Leo/Aquarius signs, so it's new to you, but it will evolve until the final eclipse in the set occurs in January 2028.

With this eclipse set, you'll be discovering your independence, your relationship needs, and what makes you shine. It’s a time for turning points related to personality and partnership. A temporary feeling of invisibility can motivate you to change your approach to the world. There can be pleasant and sudden events or surprises as your life moves forward in significant ways.

As the month advances, you are entering into a brilliant period for increasing your earning power. You’ll be busy taking charge of your finances. Money-making opportunities are likely to present themselves, and the motivation to take advantage of them increases.

Your focus shifts further to practical affairs, especially from the 18th onward, and even with a Solar Eclipse in your sign just behind you, you strive for more predictability, comfort, and security in the last week of the month.

Keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde in your finances sector from the 26th forward, and it makes sense to look back before moving ahead with money matters. Still, you might discover new ways to improve your practical affairs, and you’re exceptionally resourceful with your time and energy. New ways of interacting with loved ones can yield surprisingly good results now.

Saturn changes signs this month, heading out of your sector of finances and resources and into your solar third house of communication. This ingress takes some of the pressure off in business, with money, and regarding practical affairs. You had a sneak peek of this last year, but now this influence is sticking with you and will run until April 2028.

During this new cycle, there can be increased daily responsibilities or commitments. Serious study, training, and detailed work are likely. Your ideas and studies may face tests to see whether or not they’re sound and worth your time. You’re learning the value of waiting for strategic moments to express yourself and choosing your words more carefully. Fortunately, it’s a stabilizing influence, as Saturn is now harmonizing with your sign and bolstering you.

Neptune recently began its transit of this area of your solar chart, and on February 20th, Saturn and Neptune meet there. Your thinking and ideas are both practical and imaginative. It’s a fine time for feeling needed or reinforced for your input, advice, intelligence, or ideas. You might help guide someone with constructive advice. Putting a dream in motion can be in the spotlight. You might also recognize that improved or streamlined communications can benefit you greatly. It’s an excellent time for developing skills that will help you now and in the future. Learning, studies, connecting, and communications projects can consume much of your time, but your efforts to discipline yourself can pay off.

It's a powerful month, particularly useful for starting anew, whether you're reinventing yourself or beginning a brand-new path towards greater personal fulfillment. A strong drive to take the driver’s seat in your life overcomes you, and you’re taking the necessary steps to get ahead. This is more about you personally than your professional life, which may take a back seat temporarily. Personal goals are in high focus.

This Year 2026: Aquarius

You’re finding more joy in plugging away at what you do best this year, dear Aquarius. It’s a strong period for truly enjoying your daily life and routines. Wellness routines can spark joy this year.

Most notable bright areas this year – and there are plenty – are self-care and self-improvement endeavors, work, long-term partnerships, and friendships. Your schedule is likely to be quite full in the first half of the year, but mostly pleasantly so. For those of you in need of work or who want to improve their daily routines or working life, this is a fabulous time to do so, although you’ll need to watch for taking on too much.

You may be meeting new friends through the work you do or through your pursuit of health and wellness goals. While you can feel pressure on a personal level, you’re in a strong position for comfortably meeting your responsibilities this year. Finances are less confusing or uncertain in 2026. Transportation and communication issues can be in strong focus as you find more efficient ways to get around and connect.

The second half of the year can be quite excellent for partnerships, whether these are business, romantic, or both. Opportunities for relationships can open up for you. For some, a friendship can move to a whole new level. Negotiations and counseling situations can be beneficial. You might find yourself in a teaching or counseling role or as a trusted advisor. One-to-one counseling sessions can be very helpful. Getting married or entering a new long-term partnership is possible; partnered Aquarians will benefit from infusing their current relationship with more fun, enjoyment, generosity, and vision.

There may have been times when you felt you were alone and in charge, but in 2026, that’s changing. People who have your interests at heart or who uplift you can enter your life, or existing relationships can improve significantly. There can be great innovations in your life, with new ways to communicate and move your life forward. There can be a lot of activity with writing, public speaking, new interests, and exciting friendships. You’ll require stimulating or simply new and different entertainment.

With Pluto in your sign, you are learning about your personal power, sometimes through challenging life lessons and experiences. The temptation may be to attempt to control or micro-manage things, but you’ll better experience your own freedom if you can resist this urge.

Saturn and Neptune moving out of your finance sector early in 2026 takes pressure and restriction off money matters. Your relationship with your money and things has evolved, and you’re now less inhibited about expressing your natural talents. This theme is helped further as Uranus, your modern planetary ruler, heads into your creativity sector on April 25th for a visit of about seven years. It’s a powerful time to connect with and explore your creativity.

The long-term cycle that brought change and unpredictability to your home and family life ends this year on April 25th. This shift takes quite a bit of pressure off. At the same time, a new cycle begins, and creatively speaking, you’re blossoming as you discover new and unique forms of creative or playful expression.

Uranus in your solar fifth house is a relative newcomer and a long-term guest, bringing excitement – perhaps even thrills – but also possible instability in romance and creative output from time to time. You’re discovering your inner child and getting in touch with your creative muse, and there can be some ups and downs in the process. These things are not something you can schedule or control! You may be attracting unusual, progressive, alternative, or erratic people into your world now, particularly on a romantic level. You may also need to deal with matters of independence and personal freedom with your children or in your dating life, if applicable. All in all, however, this is a wonderful transit for loosening you up and encouraging a more casual, natural, and creative approach to expressing yourself.

Eclipses this year put special focus on spending habits — emphasizing the need to take charge of your finances —and on your relationships with others — spotlighting the need to find a balance between independence and your need for other people in your life.

Learning, study, and communications projects capture much of your attention this year. It’s an excellent year for developing skills that will benefit you immensely down the road.

This Year in Love: Aquarius

2026 Love Horoscope for Aquarius

The second half of 2026 looks very good for close relationships, dear Aquarius, as Jupiter will grace your partnership sector, bringing more joy and attention to your connections. Until mid-2026, there are some bright spots, but also some complex issues to address.

Jupiter graces your partnership sector from June 30th onward. While this puts Jupiter in opposition to your sign, which can stimulate some excesses, it also opens up opportunities to establish gratifying relationships, especially long-term committed partnerships. Shortly after entering your partnership sector, Jupiter forms a harmonious aspect to your ruler, Uranus, opening up further possibilities.

This can be a time of unexpected and pleasant situations and encounters with others — a time to put yourself out there and shed some of your fears about taking risks on a social level. You are expressing yourself in an especially companionable way.

Sometimes, Jupiter transiting the partnership sector magnifies existing problems in a partnership, but this helps finally address these issues and move forward. Jupiter’s energy is all about moving forward with your life – it’s about growing, and if you’re stagnant, you’re challenged to do something about it!

Somebody very helpful can come into your life in the second half of 2026 or in the first half of 2027. You can be quite taken with someone now!

Your ruler is in Gemini from April 25th forward this year, bringing opportunities your way through communications, siblings, your neighborhood, short trips, places of recreation, and through your community…cont’d
