Libra Horoscope for February 2026

This 2026 year is proving challenging in so many ways, Libra, and yet is also profound in others. It is in terms of engaging both within yourself and in partnership with others that the work proceeds. The outer planets are closely involved once again in the lunations of February, especially in the recent late Capricorn New Moon from mid-January where Venus, your ruler, was found in a two-degree conjunction with transformational Pluto in your sector of self-expression, with echoes of identity issues. There is also the partnership inspiration provided by Neptune and Saturn, located right on the edge of your seventh house cusp, your relationship sector. Inspirational Uranus is aligned with your higher mind sector of evolving beliefs and worldview. Brilliant ideas may seed themselves deep within you this month, affecting the way that you see the world around you and your path ahead. In concert with others, there is a spiritual yearning and a dedication of sincere purpose there, plus awareness of practicality and inherent limitations. All is grist for your mill of change, and a test of your inner strength to inhabit the moment with kindness and quiet optimism in the face of hardship. It is, as always, important to remember that you do indeed have agency, even in the midst of perplexing social forces at work that try to make you doubt that simple and incontrovertible fact. The Full Moon of February 1st, which is accompanied by an Aquarian stellium, is another potent juncture for you when your creativity is sizzling. You are imbued with reminders that whatever you do in your world ripples out to your surrounding friendships, social groupings, and community, inspiring life goals. Following the consequential late Aquarius New Moon and Solar Eclipse of the 17th, you may continue over the month’s second half, as Mercury approaches and then enters its retrograde, that, while having strong partnership activity once again indicated, it is a better understanding of your role to see yourself as change agent and as questioning outmoded habitual behaviors that no longer work in order to make way for those that do.

Previous New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 18th
The late Capricorn New Moon initiated the thirty-day lunation cycle activating your fourth sector of home, family, foundations, ancestry, and emotional security, setting a tone that will continue quietly shaping your inner world through the first half of February. Your fifth sector of creative self-expression is also affected and, due to Pluto’s presence, is already in a process of ongoing transformation. Venus, your ruler, lodged there in the recent New Moon, in conjunction with Pluto, brings loads of additional attention to this sector. This current lunation cycle also emphasizes responsibility within your private life, including where you live, how you rest, and what anchors you emotionally. With the stacked lineup of planets clustered in late Capricorn from the recent New Moon, attention may be turning to long-term stability, family dynamics, or the structures that support your sense of safety. Additionally, aspects to Uranus and Saturn–Neptune suggest that powerful and novel shifts within your home base or emotional landscape could be underway. As these succeed in loosening old patterns, they could help to make space for a more authentic sense of belonging.

Full Moon in Leo – Feb 1st
Arriving on the very first day of February, the vibrant Leo Full Moon illuminates your eleventh sector of community, friendships, and shared aspirations, opposing a strong Aquarius line-up in your fifth sector of creativity, pleasure, and personal expression. This lunation highlights the dynamic between belonging and individuality. You may feel tension between showing up for the collective and honoring what brings you joy or creative fulfillment, though the two may also be intrinsically entwined. Emotions run high around visibility, recognition, or contribution. Notice where you are being asked to weave your authentic creativity into your role within groups or larger collectives.

Saturn Conjunct Neptune – Jan 24th-Mar 7th
This is one of the most consequential configurations of the year and a defining influence for you this month. Saturn and Neptune are conjoined within little more than one degree for the whole of the February month, at or near 0° Aries, leading your seventh sector of partnerships, exact on February 20th. While activating your relationship dynamics, including commitments and one-to-one negotiations, this conjunction marks a profound threshold where idealism and reality meet within your relational sphere. You may feel a modicum of confusion, disillusionment, or softening around agreements or relationship roles that once felt clearly defined. At the same time, this transit invites a reimagining of how you relate, asking for maturity, compassion, and accountability. A new approach could emerge gradually, or even suddenly, as you embrace within your connections greater authenticity and radical self-responsibility.

Uranus Stations Direct – Feb 3rd
Uranus stations direct in Taurus, activating your eighth sector of shared resources, intimacy, and psychological depth. Surprising developments around finances, emotional bonds, or trust may rise to the surface during this week. This is Uranus’ final station in Taurus before its move into Gemini later this spring, emphasizing a period of integration. You may wish to consider what the past several years have taught you about vulnerability, power, and interdependence, and how those lessons are reshaping your approach to deep connection.

Mercury Enters Pisces – Feb 6th
Mercury enters Pisces, or your sixth sector of work, health, and daily rhythms. Mental focus becomes more fluid and intuitive. While Pisces is not Mercury’s favored environment, it is a time when it may be helpful for you to listen to your body, refine routines gently, and allow intuition to guide adjustments in your day-to-day life. Rigid schedules may feel less effective than flexible, gentle self-care.

Venus Enters Pisces – Feb 10th
Venus, your ruling planet, moves into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, and thus into your sixth sector, softening the pace of daily life and bringing grace to work and health matters. This significant transit favors care, creativity, and kindness in everyday routines. You may feel called to bring more beauty or compassion into your day-to-day world lightening how you tend to obligations, or your prioritize your wellbeing.

Mercury Pre-shadow – Feb 11th
Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in your sixth sector, so that you might see some disconnects, and signaling the gradual approach of its upcoming retrograde. This could be seen as an early cue to simplify schedules, review habits, and notice which work routines may need revision or greater flexibility in the weeks ahead.

Saturn Enters Aries – Feb 13th
Saturn enters Aries or your seventh sector of partnerships and commitments, beginning a new two-and-a-half-year chapter of relational maturation. Saturn here asks for clarity, boundaries, and responsibility within your one-to-one partners. You may feel a newfound motivation to clearly define commitments and address issues head-on. Progress with relational dynamics favors radical honesty, patience, and self-responsibility, so that this time invites forth your authenticity and dedication in all ways, but especially in the context of your key partnerships.

Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – Feb 17th
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius activates your fifth sector of creativity, romance, pleasure, and self-expression. Your sixth sector of habitual day-to-day behavior and environments is also affected. Eclipses bring potent, often undeniable, turning points, and this one may coincide with shifts around romance, artistic pursuits, or how you claim joy. Old habits patterns that are no longer viable might be shifting. With the Sun and Moon tightly squaring Uranus, events could feel surprising or disruptive. Adopting a more yielding openness to change can be extremely valuable now, and allow new forms of organization or creative/romantic expression to emerge.

Sun Enters Pisces – Feb 18th
As the Sun enters Pisces, it lights up your sixth sector of work, health, and daily maintenance. This is a period for refining routines with sensitivity and care. Small adjustments can have a meaningful impact on your wellbeing. You might need to listen more closely to what your body and nervous system are asking for.

Venus Trine Jupiter – Feb 21st-23rd
Venus in your sixth sector of service and day-to-day environments forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in your tenth sector of career and public life. This is one of the most positive transits of the month. Efforts made behind the scenes could become finally noticed or rewarded or thriving momentum can build around your work and long-term goals, especially concerning your vocation. This is an ideal time to gently center your visibility, reach toward aspirations, and experience appreciation and reciprocity in your daily life and professional endeavors.

Mercury Stations Retrograde – Feb 25th
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, backtracking through your sixth sector. Over the coming weeks, work plans, schedules, or health routines may all require review or revision or simply be in need of more attention. This retrograde period, lasting until March 20th, is well suited for reassessing systems and making thoughtful adjustments that support greater ease and sustainability.

Mars Square Uranus – Feb 24th-28th
The month closes with Mars in your fifth sector of creativity squaring Uranus in your eighth sector of intimacy, heightening tension between desire and vulnerability. Your ninth sector of higher mind might also be affected. Emotional intensity, creative restlessness, or power struggles could surface. This volatile energy benefits from conscious channeling rather than impulsive reaction. With awareness and intentional tending, it can catalyze breakthroughs around intimacy, creativity, and the ways you share yourself with others.
