Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of February 16 to 22, 2026

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of February 16 to 22, 2026 unfolds within a climate marked by a notable transition between the collective dynamics of Aquarius and the gradual emergence of a more receptive tone associated with the Sun's entry into Pisces on Thursday, February 19. The overall context remains clearly organized by a limited number of short-term aspects, allowing the underlying trends to retain their full clarity despite phases of adjustment that may at times prove more unstable.

The strong planetary concentration between Aquarius and Pisces outlines a climate combining collective initiatives, tensions related to change, and heightened sensitivity to emotional and symbolic factors. The Sun's square to Uranus introduces more unpredictable sequences, encouraging reassessments and rapid reorientations, while the trines from Mercury and Venus to Jupiter support a more conciliatory dynamic, facilitating exchanges, rapprochements, and the search for balanced solutions.

The Moon, moving successively from Aquarius to Pisces, then from Aries to Taurus, strongly modulates the collective atmosphere between emotional detachment, heightened receptivity, direct impulse, and the search for stabilization. This progression accompanies a climate oscillating between reactivity and a need for appeasement, reflecting a phase of gradual adaptation to evolving reference points and to transformations currently being integrated.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

• The Sun, from 27°49' Aquarius to 3°52' Pisces, completes its course in Aquarius before entering Pisces on Thursday, February 19, significantly altering the overall tone. At the beginning of the week, the climate remains marked by intellectual openness, anticipation, and collective dynamics, with a preference for rational approaches, reforms, and forward-looking strategies. From its entry into Pisces onward, the atmosphere becomes more sensitive, receptive, and increasingly oriented toward emotions, intuition, and symbolic concerns, fostering empathy and imagination while making reference points more fluid and positions less defined.
• Mercury, from 15°22' to 21°24' Pisces, strengthens an intuitive and associative mental dynamic more oriented toward overall perception than detailed analysis. Exchanges and information take on a more emotional and subjective tone, encouraging inspiration, imagination, and implicit understanding of situations, but also increasing the likelihood of misunderstandings or imprecise interpretations. Discernment benefits from relying on concrete elements in order to channel a mode of thought highly sensitive to the surrounding climate.
• Venus, from 7°36' to 15°06' Pisces, progresses through Pisces and emphasizes a more empathetic, sensitive, and affectively oriented relational tone. Connections are colored by compassion, gentleness, and a search for harmony, with an increased need for mutual understanding and emotional closeness. This configuration favors rapprochement and gestures of solidarity, while also exposing social, emotional, or financial matters to idealization or excessive expectations.
• Mars, from 18°54' to 23°37' Aquarius, advances through Aquarius and maintains an action-oriented energy focused on innovation, collective projects, and bold initiatives. Effectiveness relies more on experimentation, rapid decision-making, and the search for original solutions, with a strong desire to break free from overly restrictive frameworks. The climate may support technical or activist actions while increasing impatience when resistance slows the dynamics of change.
• The Moon, from 15°47' Aquarius to 7°19' Taurus, moves successively through Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, and then Taurus, strongly modulating the collective atmosphere. In Aquarius, at the beginning of the week, it encourages emotional detachment and reactions guided by collective considerations. Its passage through Pisces, beginning Wednesday, February 18, intensifies sensitivity, intuition, and receptivity to surrounding influences, sometimes at the expense of clarity. Its entry into Aries on Friday, February 20, then stimulates impulsiveness, initiative, and direct reactions, before its passage into Taurus on Sunday, February 22, establishes a more stable and concrete climate focused on security and essential needs.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

• The Sun (Aquarius) square Uranus (Taurus) introduces a more unstable and tense climate, with a tendency toward disruptions in rhythm, abrupt decisions, and unexpected shifts in direction. Power dynamics may intensify when demands for autonomy and reform clash with material constraints, established habits, or existing securities. This aspect stimulates innovation and necessary reassessments, but it also increases impatience and the risk of excessive reactions, especially when the urgency to act outpaces the capacity to organize the transition.
• Mercury (Pisces) trine Jupiter (Cancer) encourages broader, more intuitive, and more confident thinking, with an improved ability to connect subjective perceptions to an overall vision. Exchanges become more fluid and benevolent, supporting communication, transmission of knowledge, and processes requiring understanding and sensitivity to nuance. Inspiration and intuition are more easily integrated into reasoning, although caution remains advisable regarding overly broad interpretations or excessively optimistic judgments.
• Venus (Pisces) trine Jupiter (Cancer) establishes a warmer and more generous relational climate, encouraging rapprochement, emotional expression, and gestures of solidarity. Social, emotional, or financial exchanges may benefit from a dynamic of openness, trust, and mutual support, with a search for harmony and shared understanding. This aspect supports agreements and conciliatory initiatives while also potentially encouraging a degree of indulgence or idealized expectations in commitments.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Longer-Term

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

• Mars, from 18°54' to 23°37' Aquarius, progresses through Aquarius and establishes a more reactive, independent, and experimentation-oriented dynamic of action. Collective energy readily mobilizes around original initiatives, innovative projects, or positions expressing a desire for renewal. This configuration strengthens the need for autonomy, intellectual boldness, and rapid response, while potentially increasing impatience in the face of delays, compromises deemed unnecessary, and resistance to change.
• Jupiter, from 15°55'Я to 15°32'Я Cancer, continues its retrograde motion and maintains a climate of reassessment and refocusing on issues of protection, security, and collective cohesion. Expansive dynamics give way to more cautious reflection on familial, social, and communal foundations, with increased attention to what must be consolidated or readjusted. This phase favors stabilization and the strengthening of existing foundations rather than the pursuit of rapid growth or immediate results.
• True Lilith, from 23°30'Я Scorpio to 4°34' Sagittarius, turns direct on Wednesday, February 18, then enters Sagittarius on Saturday, February 21, marking a significant shift in its dynamic. In Scorpio, at the beginning of the week, the emphasis falls on issues of control, desire, and power dynamics, with an intensification of questions related to deep attachments, secrets, and defense mechanisms. Its passage into Sagittarius subsequently redirects this energy toward beliefs, convictions, and representations of meaning, encouraging a more open questioning of certainties and a more assertive search for truth, sometimes with a risk of rigid positions or ideological tensions.

Planetary Positions – Long-Term Climate

• Saturn, from 0°17' to 0°58' Aries, progresses through Aries and confirms the establishment of a new underlying cycle oriented toward initiative, decision-making, and the implementation of emerging dynamics. The collective climate places greater emphasis on responsibility in action, the clarification of priorities, and the establishment of frameworks adapted to new situations. This configuration favors a more direct organization of efforts and a willingness to reactivate processes where inertia or indecision had prevailed, while imposing increased demands for rigor and coherence in collective commitments.
• Uranus, from 27°32' to 27°37' Taurus, continues its direct progression through Taurus and keeps unfolding its transformative effects in material, economic, and environmental domains. The collective climate remains marked by concrete adjustments, sometimes destabilizing, aimed at profoundly transforming systems of security, production, and resource management. This dynamic encourages the emergence of innovative solutions and pragmatic reorientations, even as resistance to change remains noticeable.
• Neptune, from 0°37' to 0°49' Aries, advances through the first degrees of Aries and confirms the opening of a new underlying cycle. The collective climate remains imbued with uncertainties and blurred areas, yet it is now accompanied by a more assertive need for momentum, direction, and the mobilization of ideals. This transitional phase marks the gradual shift from a logic of dissolution toward a dynamic of initiative, even though the contours of this new impulse are still taking shape.
• Pluto, from 4°11' to 4°21' Aquarius, continues the establishment of profound structural transformations affecting collective organizations, networks, and balances of power. The changes underway are part of an irreversible long-term dynamic, involving an increasing questioning of systems that have become obsolete. The climate remains marked by a demand for strategic lucidity, repositioning, and the reinvention of collective frameworks.
• Chiron, from 23°31' to 23°45' Aries, accompanies a collective process of repair related to self-assertion, initiative, and the capacity to act. The climate highlights vulnerabilities associated with action, confidence, and collective identity, while encouraging a more direct awareness of these sensitive areas. This dynamic supports a gradual integration of revealed tensions, with the possibility of transforming vulnerabilities into drivers of adjustment and maturation.
• The True North Node, from 8°57'Я Pisces to 8°59' Pisces, turns direct on Wednesday, February 18, marking a shift in the dynamics of collective orientation. After a phase of reassessment and assimilation of recent reference points, the climate encourages a gradual resumption of movement toward more clearly defined objectives, with a more conscious integration of recent lessons. This development supports a reorientation of collective meaning and a clarification of symbolic priorities, even though the adjustment remains gradual.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For this week of February 16 to 22, 2026, the sky retains the essential features of its long-term configurations, now fully organized around Saturn's recent entry into Aries. The Saturn–Neptune conjunction, established in Aries, continues reshaping collective reference points by seeking to translate still-developing ideals into more concrete, deliberate, and action-oriented dynamics.

The major currents between slow-moving planets maintain a coherent underlying dynamic, combining a demand for realism, inspiration, and gradual adaptation, still without the support of the now inactive Jupiter–Saturn trine. Harmonious exchanges involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto continue to accompany gradual transformations, with a more assertive intention to initiate change without provoking abrupt disruptions. Configurations involving Saturn strengthen the strategic and decisive dimension of this phase, firmly anchored in the long term.

• Saturn (Aries) sextile Uranus (Taurus) encourages the gradual evolution of collective structures by combining initiative with pragmatic innovation. This aspect facilitates the adaptation of existing frameworks to ongoing changes and supports a controlled modernization attentive to material constraints and concrete realities.
• Saturn (Aries) conjunction Neptune (Aries) marks a phase of profound reorganization of symbolic and institutional reference points, with a dynamic oriented toward impulse and implementation. Ideals are confronted with concrete realities, while a stronger need emerges to provide direction to aspirations still in the process of definition.
• Saturn (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) strengthens the capacity to transform collective frameworks durably through deliberate and strategic decisions. It supports a gradual assumption of control over processes of change, with an increased determination to reshape organizations, rules, and balances at a deep level, without yielding to haste.
• Uranus (Taurus) sextile Neptune (Aries) connects innovation and inspiration within a more proactive dynamic. This aspect encourages creative solutions applicable to the collective and promotes the emergence of new approaches capable of translating intuition and vision into concrete and progressive transformations.
• Neptune (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) acts upon collective consciousness by instilling a more deliberate and assertive dynamic of transformation. It supports a gradual shift in social reference points and the integration of new paradigms, with a tendency to initiate rather than merely accompany ongoing developments.

Conclusion

The week of February 16 to 22, 2026 concludes in a gradually stabilizing climate following a transitional phase marked by the Sun's entry into Pisces and by several significant adjustments unfolding during the period. The emergence of this new tone encourages a more receptive and attentive approach to the collective, emotional, and symbolic dimensions of ongoing transformations, while extending the dynamics of initiative associated with Saturn's recent establishment in Aries.

With the Moon in Taurus at the end of the week, the atmosphere tends to refocus on issues of security, stability, and concrete consolidation. After the emotional fluctuations and successive impulses of the preceding days, the collective climate increasingly favors appeasement, the search for lasting balance, and the pragmatic management of priorities.

In the background, the long-term configurations between slow-moving planets continue to shape a profound collective shift, combining the gradual transformation of reference points, new initiatives, and the strategic reorganization of structures. The period thus concludes with a dynamic of adjustment and maturation, preparing developments set to unfold steadily in the weeks ahead.
