February kicks off with electric energy. A glamorous Full Moon in Leo sets a celebratory tone for the month on Feb. 1, daring you to reclaim the spotlight without the fear of being different or 'too much'. A few days later, on Feb. 4, you'll gain momentum. Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs, ends its retrograde in grounded Taurus, giving everyone the green light to embrace change that tests their comfort zone.

Brainiac Mercury encounters sociable Venus in Aquarius this morning, setting a cool and effortless tone that boosts your popularity. People are waiting for your name to pop up on their phone and hanging onto your words of wisdom. When you speak up, make sure your words are meaningful, and your ideas are ahead of the curve. The energy turns serious by mid-afternoon. The chatty Gemini moon bumps into authoritarian Saturn, revealing an innocent question that may cross a line.

Happy Birthday: Keeping up may be taxing this year, but rewarding. You have so much energy around you, and if channeled correctly, the sky is the limit. Map out what's important to you to ensure you get the most out of every opportunity that comes your way. If you take on too much, you'll become a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Spotlight what matters most, and ride the wave. Your numbers are 8, 13, 18, 27, 30, 39, 47.

By the time you wake up, the moon will be in intuitive Pisces, setting a dreamy, inspired, and hopeful tone to your morning. Ease into the day with your favorite playlist or current read on your morning commute. The softer morning energy preludes an electric mid-morning shift. The sun and Mercury team up in cerebral Aquarius and will remain united for the rest of the day.

The moon shifts into disciplined Capricorn early this morning, setting a productive start to your day. Tackling the neglected tasks on your to-do list may be more straightforward than you realize. However, hazy Neptune lurks in the shadows within reach of the moon, and distractions could hinder your focus. Do one thing at a time without the pressure to move faster.

If there's one date sky-gazers have marked in their diaries for 2026, it's the 12 August total solar eclipse. Set to be the year's most-watched celestial event, it takes place when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, temporarily plunging the summer sky into darkness over Balearic beach clubs, Spanish city streets and Icelandic music festivals. So far, so dramatic, right? Just wait until you discover what it means for your star sign.

Your comfort zone is challenged in all the right ways this morning as Venus in steady Capricorn links up with wild card Uranus. This brings surprising fluctuations to your love life or overall priorities. Sometimes, you need a small dose of this unexpected to push you toward decisions that will benefit you in the long run. Don't resent the disruption; focus on what it's teaching you about your needs and values.

A grounding connection forms between the moon in seductive Scorpio and Venus in committed Capricorn, setting a serious tone to your morning. Living up to promises, especially those made with a loved one, is non-negotiable. The moon's eclectic opposition to disruptive Uranus throws a wrench in your afternoon plans. However, Saturn's steady support of the moon is a reminder to stay in control of your emotional reactions, even when the unexpected occurs.

An early disruption to your routine or sudden mood swing could set a surprising tone for your morning. However, the playful Leo moon's bump with rebellious Uranus urges you to drop your expectations. This could be the opening you didn't know you needed. Power moves lead to tangible progress under today's triple alignment of the sun, Venus, and Mars in disciplined Capricorn.

Today, conversations with others will be like two ships passing in the night. Don't expect much, especially if you're dealing with travel issues or publishing. The same goes for legal or medical matters. This is a low-energy - even confusing - day. Sit this one out. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Although you might be interested in discussing financial matters, this is not the day to do it. Everyone is running on empty. Communications are slightly confused and definitely uninterested. Take a nap.

Since 2020, we've felt profound shifts ripple through the collective. Every era brings transformation, of course, but many would agree that 2020 marked a turning point - a moment we'll look back on as a true divider. I bring up that year for a reason as we move toward the astrology of 2026. And don't worry, this isn't a prediction of a 2020 sequel. Think of it more as understanding where we've been - so we can understand where we're going.

Creative energy is on the rise as the artsy Taurus moon links up with imaginative Neptune. Spend your morning cultivating the perfect outfit or playlist to cap off 2025 and welcome 2026 with joy. Shortly after, the moon swings into witty Gemini. There's no use sweating the small stuff. Keep it light and playful. Curiosity gains depth by lunchtime. You may realize subtle patterns in your thoughts and interactions as the moon aligns with psychological Pluto.

The upcoming new year is more than simply the beginning of 2026. Astrologically, it holds multiple new beginnings, including various cycles coalescing and several seasons initiating, some that were 165 years in the making. And with it comes horoscopes for 2026 that navigate an array of astrological transits, from Neptune entering Aries to Uranus dancing into Gemini. These vast cosmic movements affect us as a collective as well as singular beings.

And this one kicks off in a secret third way-a growing intensity of motivation that doesn't announce itself before it makes a move. Many of us may be cooking up ambitious schemes for the year ahead that we're not yet ready to make public. Many will be getting crystal clear on our desires and unmet needs, and then creating a detailed plan that will set us up for success (versus playing it by ear and hoping for the best).

Romantic Venus is tied up with Neptune this morning, generating uncertainty and amplifying daydreams. But Venus's midday shift into grounded Capricorn could help you see what's motivating your fantasies. Over the next three weeks, focus on clarifying your desires. Remember, good things take time. This afternoon calls for flexibility. As the Aquarius moon sizes up destabilizing Uranus, being pushed out of your comfort zone could lend you the opportunity to unlock a hidden wave of genius. Don't resist the discomfort that's helping you grow.

Today calls for productivity and precision. By the time you wake up, the moon will be in meticulous Virgo, encouraging you to wrap up smaller tasks and priorities before taking on new responsibilities. Meanwhile, Neptune - the planet of illusions and dreams - ends its backspin in intuitive Pisces this morning. The conclusion of this retrograde marks the subtle return of your creative impulse. Deeper introspection could boost your ability to solve problems.

As you bake for Santa, the reindeer, and the long line of festive gatherings ahead, you might notice that one out of many cookie recipes keeps calling your name. It shows up on every platter, every goodie bag, and somehow always ends up on your plate first. In astrology, your Sun sign describes the personality you recognize most. Your Moon reveals the tastes, textures, and nostalgic treats that soothe you. While your rising sign shapes the vibe others sense from you before you ever say a word - even at a holiday dessert table.
