Astrology Forecast: Feb 9 - Feb 15

This week is powerful. Like, really powerful. We're dealing with some major cosmic shifts. The kind that only happens every few years or decades. Saturn is changing signs for the first time since 2023, moving from Pisces into Aries. We've got a Solar Eclipse in Pisces to close out the week. Venus is shifting into her most comfortable placement. This isn't a week of minor adjustments. This is foundational change.

The energy might feel intense, emotional, and possibly overwhelming at times. That's because we're being asked to release deeply (Scorpio Third Quarter Moon), open our hearts (Venus in Pisces), take responsibility for ourselves in new ways (Saturn in Aries), and birth something entirely new (Solar Eclipse).

If you've been feeling like things need to change, like old structures aren't working anymore, like you're ready for something different but aren't sure what. This week is bringing those themes to a head. Pay attention. Take notes. Trust what's emerging, even if it's uncomfortable or unclear right now.

February 9th: Quarter Moon in Scorpio

We open the week with the Third Quarter Moon in Scorpio on Monday. Third Quarter Moons are about release - clearing out what's no longer serving us to make space for what's coming with the next New Moon. But this isn't gentle, surface-level letting go. This is Scorpio.

Scorpio asks us to look at the things we'd rather not face. The emotional patterns we keep repeating. The control we're holding onto out of fear. The truths we've been avoiding because they're uncomfortable. This moon wants us to get real with ourselves - brutally honest, even.

What are you still holding onto that's actually weighing you down? What fear-based behavior is keeping you stuck? What do you need to release before the Solar Eclipse on the 16th clears the slate?

This might feel intense or emotional - that's Scorpio doing its work. Let yourself feel it. Write it out, talk it through, cry if you need to. The release makes room for transformation. And with a New Moon Solar Eclipse coming Sunday, we need that space cleared out for what's arriving next.

 Feb 10: Venus enters Pisces

On Tuesday, Venus moves into Pisces, and this is a big shift in how we experience love, connection, and creativity. Venus in Pisces is special - this is where Venus is exalted, meaning it's at its most comfortable and powerful. Think: compassionate love, deep empathy, romantic daydreams, and artistic inspiration flowing freely.

Where Venus in Aquarius (where it's been) valued independence, friendship, and keeping some emotional distance, Venus in Pisces wants to merge, connect, feel everything. Boundaries soften. You might find yourself more emotionally open, more willing to see the best in people, more drawn to beauty and creativity.

This is wonderful energy for deepening relationships, creating art, practicing compassion, and letting your heart lead. But watch out for losing yourself in others or seeing situations through rose-colored glasses. Pisces can idealize to the point of ignoring red flags.

Use this transit to connect authentically, create from the heart, and practice compassion, but keep at least one foot on the ground so you don't drift too far into fantasy.

February 13th: Saturn enters Aries

Saturn is moving into Aries on Saturday! After about 30 years, we're seeing the planet of structure and authority return to the fiery sign of independence and new beginnings. The last time Saturn was in Aries was 1996-1999 - if you were coming of age or making major life decisions during that time, pay attention to themes returning or completing now.

The last three years with Saturn in Pisces were spent in questions and uncertainty. Structures were tested as we examined the illusions we'd let ourselves believe. About relationships, about systems, about what we thought was solid ground. A lot dissolved or fell apart.

Now it's time to place those illusions aside and start rebuilding something new. We've seen where the problems lie, and Saturn in Aries gives us the opportunity to build structures and boundaries that actually work for us, but it requires us to sit down and take responsibility for ourselves and our actions in the world.

This won't necessarily be comfortable. Aries wants to charge ahead and take bold action, but Saturn demands patience, discipline, and maturity. We're learning to act courageously but responsibly, to lead without recklessness, to build our independence on solid ground rather than impulse. This is pioneering energy, but it's earned through effort and self-accountability.

Saturn will be in Aries until 2028/2029, so these themes will develop over the next few years. For now, pay attention to where you're being asked to step up, take initiative, and build something that lasts. Even if it's hard.

February 16th: Solar Eclipse in Pisces

Eclipses always carry a special power. They're a conjunction of the Sun and Moon in such a way that creates a rare celestial event, and they tend to bring sudden shifts of energy, revelations, and new beginnings we didn't see coming. This one is particularly powerful. Not only is it happening in Pisces, it's occurring right at 0°… the very first degree of the sign, amplifying the "fresh start" energy.

A Solar Eclipse in Pisces invites us into new spiritual territory, new creative inspiration, and a deeper connection to our intuition and compassion. This is about beginning something from the heart, from faith, from a place of surrender rather than control. What needs to be born through dreaming, through feeling, through trusting the unseen?

This eclipse comes after a week of intense clearing and restructuring. We released deep patterns with the Scorpio Moon, opened our hearts with Venus entering Pisces, and established new boundaries with Saturn in Aries. Now the eclipse plants seeds in that cleared ground. Pay attention to what emerges in dreams, intuitive hits, creative inspiration, or unexpected emotional openings around this time.

Pisces can also bring confusion or illusion, so while staying open to what's being revealed, keep some grounding. Not everything that appears in the eclipse window is what it seems. Give things time to clarify over the coming weeks and months. The effects of this eclipse will ripple out for the next six months, so trust the process even if it feels uncertain right now.

What is a Void of Course Moon?

Think of the Moon as the cosmic "Project Manager" of our daily lives. As it travels through a zodiac sign, it "talks" to other planets (making aspects). The Void of Course period begins the moment the Moon finishes its last conversation in one sign and lasts until it enters the next sign.

It’s a time when the "weaver has dropped her thread." Because the Moon isn't making any new connections, the energy is "adrift."

What to do:

• Rest and Routine: Perfect for chores, cleaning, or mindless admin.

• Reflection: Excellent for journaling or meditating.

• Finish what’s started: Wrap up old projects rather than launching new ones.

What to avoid (if possible):

• Big Launches: If you start a business or launch a product now, it may "go nowhere."

• Important Signatures: Contracts signed in the void often need to be revised later.

• First Dates: The "vibe" might be hard to pin down.

Void of Course Times: Feb 9 – Feb 15, 2026

Feb 10th - 2:01 am until it enters Sagittarius at 2:22 am

Feb 12th - 2:29 pm until it enters Capricorn at 2:44 pm

Feb 14th - 8:31 pm until it enters Aquarius on Feb 15th at 1:37 am

Closing Reflection

This week asks a lot of us. We're releasing what no longer serves (Scorpio), opening our hearts (Venus in Pisces), building new structures around who we're becoming (Saturn in Aries), and stepping into an uncertain but spiritually significant new chapter (Solar Eclipse in Pisces).

That's a lot of transformation packed into one week.

If it feels overwhelming, remember: you don't have to have it all figured out right now. The eclipse energy will continue unfolding for months. Saturn in Aries is a multi-year journey. What's being asked of you this week is simply to stay present, to notice what's shifting, and to trust that the release is making space for something better aligned.

Be gentle with yourself. This is deep work. Rest when you need to. Feel what needs to be felt. And when you're ready, take one small, courageous step toward whatever new beginning is calling you.

The structures are changing. The ground is shifting.

Tarot Card of the Week

The World

“I honor what has come full circle, and I stand grounded in the wholeness of my journey.”

We're experiencing a lot of big changes this week, and no card captures this better than The World. This is the end of a long cycle and the beginning of something new. We need to release the patterns of the old in order to make room for new things to come in their place.

And while new beginnings are emerging, we don't need to rush headlong into them. Take time to look back at the past cycle and learn what you can from it. Then move forward with better understanding. Notice the patterns that showed up and consider how you might move through them differently this time.
