The Aquarius New Moon on February 17 at 11.01 pm will also be an Annular Solar Eclipse, or Ring of Fire centered over Antarctica, so not visible to us here in Australia! The Aquarius New Moon ushers in the Chinese New Year each year, however babies need to be born after February 10 to be included as the new animal. 2026 is the Year of the prancing Fire Horse. Horse energy involves action, freedom, change and breakthroughs! Moving boldly forward without the fear of obstacles, the emphasis being on moving noy staying still! This means rapid change, fresh opportunities, personal growth and life moving to the fast lane! Fire brings intensity, urgency and passion, energetic dynamism, which can be motivating but also demanding. Because of the stronger drive to achieve and faster pace life brings it is essential to stay attuned to bodily limits and energy reserves. Easy to burn out if you don’t!. This combination only occurs every 60 years, last with us in 1966. It will be a restless dynamic time with possibility for conflicts to occur. It’s not going to be about planning or making resolutions rather taking action on your goals. The year will bring favour to those who move forward and make adjustment on the fly. Not moving the fastest but being able to maintain a consistent pace forward. Stillness is the enemy not slowness, sustainable progress will be the goal.
This Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse on March 3 will be part of Saros Series 10 North which began on the North Pole on April 25 944. This series brings very strong emphasis on communication as well as frustrating or inhibiting events, occurring through the news, paperwork or a young person. This is likely to make those affected feel tired and drained, so a good time to take things quietly and work through any difficulties one at a time.
With the luminaries positioned at 28 Aquarius 49’ the Sabian symbol for 29 degrees of Aquarius is “A butterfly emerging from a chrysalis”, the capability to utterly transform the character of one’s consciousness by radically altering the structural patterns of everyday living and the types of relationships one enters into so metamorphosis. The third decan of Aquarius ruled by the Moon, corresponds with the Seven of Swords from the Tarot, it represents unstable effort.
The Sun and Moon will be tightly squaring Uranus the dispositor of Aquarius! Such a square can indicate the urge to act independently requiring freedom, sudden upsets or conflicts in relationships, rebellion or lack of adaptability between partners. The luminaries will also be making a tight trine to asteroid Isis in Gemini, so love and beauty could be helpful in overcoming any upsets!
With the Sun and Moon in the sign of Aquarius, the general energy focus will be:
• Being a humanitarian, concerned about the environment, resources and animals
• Putting the needs of the community above your own
• Challenging conventional thinking, seeking fairness and equality
• Becoming involved in group activities with your tribe of likeminded people
• Seeking freedom and the ability to detach from your emotional patterning
• Being true to your individuality
• Coming up with original and unique inspirational ideas
The area most aligned with the position of the New Moon can be best gleaned from your natal horoscope chart, however if you only know your Sun Sign, then affirmations around the areas indicated below are likely to be the most powerful, but some adjustment may be required to the life areas below:
