Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:

February 2026 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February 2026

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until February 8th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.

Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

From February 8th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!

You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.

This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse occurs on February 17th:

Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it's better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It's a time to observe and wait and see.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar fifth house, signaling the need for a fresh approach to love, children, or creative projects. A new set-up in existing love affairs or a new love affair altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding expressing yourself spontaneously and creatively.

This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your need for fun and leisure activities.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Until the 2nd: 

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

From February 2nd to the 25th:

Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

From February 26th onward:

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

From the 1st to the 20th: 

Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.

From the 20th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.

You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

Mercury is retrograde from February 26th to March 20th:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.

Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until February 17th: 

Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

From February 18th onward: 

Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Overview Horoscope:

February 2026 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:

February is strong for injecting some inspiration into your creative or romantic life, dear Libra. Love, pleasure, joy, entertainment, and your personal life are in stronger focus. Your powers of attraction run exceptionally high, and you can pour more energy into expressing and enjoying yourself. It's natural to attract favorable attention from others, and passions run high. Hobbies are a stronger draw. As the month progresses, work matters become a stronger priority, as do self-care and health programs. It’s an excellent time not only for finding and enjoying work but also for relationships on the job.

You may frequently find yourself in the right circumstances to fully enjoy and express yourself, especially in the first weeks of the month, especially. While you should watch for impatience, this is an excellent time to have the courage to pursue your heart’s desire. It can be a spirit-feeding, pleasurable time in your life. At the very least, you’ll put plans in place for bringing more playfulness into your world. The Solar Eclipse on the 17th may usher in change and new beginnings on these fronts. You might resolve to make more time for play, and since this eclipse is part of a larger set that lasts until early 2028, this is just the beginning.

After a spell of being fairly wrapped up in your personal life, you may realize the need to reach out to others and remind them that they matter to you around the Full Moon on the 1st. It’s a time to enjoy new revelations and share your findings with people you care about. This Full Moon reminds you of your need for friends, associates, community support, or like-minded people.

Uranus turns direct on the 3rd, further boosting your desire to enjoy yourself. Also, debts, loans, or financial support are more straightforward, and any problems with them are more comfortable to resolve. Forward movement on creative, financial, intimacy, or romantic matters is likely after a retrograde period of almost 5 months, during which delays may have been more frequent. You’re ready to share yourself, your feelings, and your ideas with others.

You’re feeling more passionate about your interests, hobbies, or romantic life this month. Confidence is on the upswing, although a feeling of lack may be a catalyst for new beginnings after the Solar Eclipse on the 17th. This eclipse can unearth a strong desire or need to start fresh with romance, joy, entertainment, love, dating, leisure, or hobbies. You might discover new needs, sides of your personality, or new channels for enjoying yourself. Awakening to hidden or dormant talents isn't out of the question now.

Still, Saturn moves into opposition to your sign from the 13th forward, placing some pressure on you. This transit lasts until April 2028 and is helpful for better understanding your relationships and partnering needs. Along the way, you may face some tests of a current relationship’s strength. This transit can also stir a stronger desire for long-term, genuine connections, or it may bring a more mature or serious partner into your life. Decisions are easier when you can see people and things for both their strengths and weaknesses, so aim for this sweet spot.

This month, there could be an obligation to a friend or partner that perhaps weighs you down, but it’s also something that bonds you, and you feel good about fulfilling. In fact, you might recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships, even as you work on the tougher stuff. You might partner up to accomplish something important.

A work-and-health theme emerges as February progresses. This doesn’t come on suddenly–it begins with Mercury's move into your work and health sector on the 6th. Venus follows on the 10th, and the Sun on the 18th. It’s a time of abundant ideas to improve your health, work attitudes, and efforts. You take more pride in your duties, and as a result, your performance improves.

You could feel good about the work you do or your efforts to improve your routines. If you provide services, you’re well-positioned to receive positive feedback. You’re feeling optimistic about your career or overall life direction, and coming up with exciting plans can be pleasant. This may even be a time for meeting someone special and helpful as you pursue your work, routines, or better health. Meaningful work is a real possibility now.

However, with Mercury retrograde from the 26th forward, keep your cool and take your time with important decisions. Mercury’s retrograde affects your work and routines most, and you may need to spend time revising and reviewing certain projects. Information clogs can make this a waiting period. Still, it’s a great time to do edits and focus on works in progress. You’re thinking up wonderful ways to improve, develop, and refine routines or drawing more explicit boundaries that separate work and rest to your benefit. While looking forward to a brighter future, you also look to the past for answers and solutions.
