From February 18th to March 20th, the Sun glides through Pisces. ’Tis the season for charging your crystals, tapping into your intuition, and keeping a box of tissues nearby at all times. This mutable water sign is known for being compassionate, imaginative, and highly sensitive. So if you want to spruce up your vision board, dust off your art supplies, or volunteer for a cause that’s close to your heart, go for it. But it also may be easier than usual to absorb other people’s emotions and deplete your own energy — especially because this Pisces season features an eclipse. Over the coming month, resist the temptation to martyr yourself, and set clear boundaries to prevent burnout. Saying no can keep you anchored to what really matters to you.

Lunar eclipse in Virgo: Don’t sweat the small stuff

If you have any unhelpful patterns of perfectionism, self-criticism, or micromanaging, they’ll be activated by the lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd. Eclipses are known to spark beginnings and endings and speed up plotlines. And because this eclipse takes place near the South Node, a point in space associated with release, it’s an excellent time to let go of the habits and strategies that don’t work for you anymore. But you don’t have to take action to make this process happen. Lie low around March 3rd, and avoid making major decisions if you can. Any intense emotions or harsh judgments that this eclipse brings up are showing you what needs to be composted and transformed into something more supportive. This moment is part of a longer story that started with the first Virgo eclipse in this series, which occurred on March 13th, 2025. Reflect on the themes or issues that came up around that date and consider what’s resurfacing for you now. And stay open to what’s shifting, but don’t try to make sense of all these changes just yet. You’ll have more clarity once the dust of eclipse season has settled.

New Moon in Pisces: Dream a little dream (or a big one)

New Moons are fresh starts. And the New Moon in Pisces on March 18th is a chance to set intentions for bringing more empathy and idealism into your life. You don’t need to nail down all the details of what you want to manifest, though. Focus on the big picture and think expansively about what feels good to you. And any activities that put you into a flow state, such as meditating or making art, are especially useful around this time. This New Moon gets a helpful boost from Uranus, the planet of disruption, so this is also a great opportunity to gently shake up your old ways of doing things. Challenge yourself to envision out-there possibilities and experiment with unfamiliar approaches. It’s never too late to begin again.

From January 19th to February 18th, the Sun moves through innovative, free-thinking Aquarius. This transit is your chance to lead with your geekiness. Forget what everyone else is saying, reading, or doing. What topics and causes fascinate you, and how can you give yourself permission to do your own thing? When the Sun is in this fixed air sign, we can solve complex problems and improve the quality of life for all. But we have to be willing to do some research and entertain some out-there ideas. So go ahead — let your brainstorming take you to unexpected places. And bring your discoveries to any groups that could benefit from your insights. The more you embrace your unique brilliance, the more you’ll have to offer up to the collective.

Full Moon in Leo: Spotlight on you

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1st shines a light on what’s emerging in your creativity, self-expression, and — yes — your hunger for attention. If there’s an art project you’ve been keeping under wraps or an accomplishment you’ve been meaning to celebrate, this is a powerful moment to share it with an audience. But if you’re getting frustrated, stubborn, or competitive around this Full Moon, keep your ego in check by applauding someone else. You don’t lose any of your specialness when you honor what other people have to contribute.

Solar eclipse in Aquarius: The future is downloading

The solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th is shaking up your community organizing, your activist work, and all the ways you show up for your social circles. Stay alert to surprises, curveballs, and frayed nerves. Eclipses tend to speed up plotlines and add a sense of urgency to our decision-making — but there’s no rush, so don’t push yourself. Instead, lie low and rest up as much as possible around this date. The lessons you’re meant to learn from this eclipse will keep cropping up throughout the weeks to come.

From December 21st, 2025, to January 19th, 2026, the Sun moves through Capricorn. The start of Capricorn season marks the December Solstice — the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, when the night is longest and the Sun is symbolically reborn, and the arrival of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, when the Sun’s light reaches its peak. It’s the beginning of a new astrological cycle, which makes it a powerful moment to plant seeds for what you want to grow over the coming year.

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign, which means this is a time to ground ourselves and reconnect with whatever helps us feel anchored. While Sagittarius season hyped us up to go after what thrills us, Capricorn season builds off of that enthusiasm and encourages us to act on it. The ambitious sign of the goat can overdo it, though. If you feel like you’re pushing yourself too hard or getting hung up on seeking external validation, try not to get carried away. Commit to the goals you want to achieve, but remember to celebrate your progress along the way — and pace yourself to avoid burning out.

Full Moon in Cancer: Be real with yourself

The Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd isn’t exactly subtle. In fact, it might feel extra buzzy and hectic, so do what you can to decompress and help your system unwind. This is an especially agitating Full Moon that spotlights how we work through frustrations in caregiving dynamics — and it will likely amplify any tension that’s been mounting. It isn’t stirring things up just to make a mess, though. It’s trying to show you something important about the challenges or limitations that prevent you from accepting support from others. If you’re overextending yourself at the expense of your own needs or trying to prove your worth through your productivity, this Full Moon will reveal where you need to make a change.

New Moon in Capricorn: Turn your goals into game plans

Then there’s the first New Moon of the year, on January 18th. This one is packed with potential, so make the most of it by clarifying what new plans or projects you wish to set into motion at the top of 2026. This moment will help you identify the dreams you want to nurture — and the boundaries and structures you need to build to make those dreams come true. This New Moon offers you a boost of momentum, so set your intentions, get to work, and expect some lucky breaks and pleasant surprises to come your way over the next six months.
