Week of February 8, 2026

A trimming-and-tuning week: release what’s heavy, soften your tone, and make one clear promise to yourself.

Here’s the astrology forecast for this week (February 8 - February 14, 2026).

The big weather pattern

This is a waning week: the Moon reaches its Last Quarter on Monday and moves into the balsamic phase on Friday. The mood favors sorting, finishing, and quieting the schedule. Two notable shifts land inside this window: Venus enters Pisces on Tuesday, bringing a gentler social and creative tone, and Saturn enters Aries on Friday, opening a long, gradual chapter about responsible beginnings. Both changes are fresh, so their first notes are subtle but noticeable.

Practical takeaway: Keep expectations modest, make room for endings or simplification, and let new intentions be small and steady. Use kindness (Venus in Pisces) and clear limits (Saturn to Aries) to guide choices. If you’re unsure, wait for clarity to build as we wane toward next week’s New Moon.

Surprise preferences: Venus square Uranus (Sunday 2/8)

Description: On Sunday, Venus in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, while the Scorpio Moon is active with Mars and Jupiter. Plans, tastes, or budgets can zigzag, and conversations may take unexpected turns.

Meaning: Novelty knocks against routine. What you value could momentarily clash with what’s familiar. The point isn’t upheaval; it’s a quick test of flexibility before Venus softens in Pisces on Tuesday.

Leave extra wiggle room in social plans and spending from Sunday into Monday.
Say yes to a small experiment; skip big impulsive purchases or declarations.
If a chat veers off course, pause and revisit midweek when tempers and tastes are gentler.
Update a “plan B” so a surprise doesn’t become a derailment.

Last Quarter in Scorpio (Monday 2/9): clear and simplify

Description: Monday’s Last Quarter arrives with the Sun in Aquarius squaring the Moon in Scorpio, and the Moon opposing Uranus. It’s a pruning point in the cycle with emotions running deep but concise.

Meaning: This phase helps you see what’s done and what still matters. Letting go of a tight grip restores proportion. Choose discretion and targeted fixes over all-or-nothing pushes.

Do a 20-minute cleanout: inbox, fridge, bag, or one shelf.
Keep sensitive topics brief and factual; skip the post-mortem.
Decline power struggles; step back from zero-sum thinking.
Protect privacy where it’s wise—say “not ready to share yet” and leave it there.

Softer edges: Venus enters Pisces (Tuesday 2/10)

Description: Venus moves into Pisces on Tuesday. The Sagittarius Moon is busy the same day—squaring Mercury and Venus, while forming easy links with Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto—and continues with supportive action to Mars on Wednesday.

Meaning: Affection, aesthetics, and goodwill turn gentler and more imaginative. Yet the Moon’s squares caution against overpromising. Warmth lands best when paired with simple structure.

Use kind, unhurried language; make one clear ask instead of three.
Plan one simple joy (music, film, a walk) rather than a packed evening.
Write down vague longings as a short list so they can take shape later.
If options multiply, sleep on it and choose after a night’s rest.

Words that mend: Mercury meets Chiron (Thursday 2/12)

Description: Thursday highlights a Mercury–Chiron conjunction, with the Moon in Capricorn sextiling Venus, squaring Saturn and Neptune, and adjusting to Uranus. Mars in Aquarius forms an inconjunct to Jupiter in Cancer the same day.

Meaning: Conversations can touch tender spots and invite repair. The tone supports careful wording and right-sized effort. Ambition may exceed capacity; trimming plans to fit the day is wise.

Draft delicate messages, then edit out extra heat or blame before sending.
Ask one clarifying question to reduce confusion instead of piling on details.
When plans expand suddenly, choose the essential piece and shelve the rest.
Match effort to energy; choose one practical step over a sweeping promise.

A slow turn: Saturn enters Aries (Friday 2/13) with a balsamic Moon

Description: On Friday, Saturn moves from Pisces into Aries as the Moon turns balsamic and continues through Capricorn—opposing Jupiter and, by Saturday, forming a smooth trine to Uranus in Taurus.

Meaning: A new, long arc begins around responsibility for starts, boundaries, and initiative. This week’s expression is quiet: name the commitment, keep it small, and let it root while the Moon wanes toward next week’s New Moon.

Choose one starter commitment you can keep for the next four weeks.
Set a simple boundary that protects sleep, budgeting, or personal time.
Keep Friday–Saturday low-key; light chores, early nights, unhurried meals.
Let plans stay provisional; revisit choices after the weekend with fresh eyes.

Practical checklist

Buffer Sunday–Monday plans and spending by about 20% for surprises.
Do one short clear-out to mark the Last Quarter: inbox, bag, or a single drawer.
Send gentle, succinct notes Tuesday–Wednesday; make only one request per message.
On Thursday, draft first, edit emotions down, then send.
When energy dips, cut extras and do the task that keeps life moving.
Pick one commitment for the month ahead and write it where you’ll see it.
Keep Friday–Saturday restorative: simple food, warm clothes, earlier bedtime.
If a purchase or plan feels urgent, wait 24 hours and check again.
