Hi Stargazers!

This is a good week to reflect, simplify our environments, clean up our habits, and act intentionally instead of reactively.

Of course, it’s another packed week. We’re entering a new moon in a cycle via a solar eclipse, and a new month (Pisces Season—a time to surrender the ego, release illusions, and reconnect with a higher, more compassionate vision of life as we complete one cycle and prepare to be reborn into the next at the March equinox.) Saturn will meet Neptune at the first degree of the zodiac (in Aries, for the astro nerds) on the 20th, marking one of the biggest alignments of the century. This week helps us change our fate and overcome our stars by aligning with our spiritual destiny.

Luck is not random; it is the pipeline through which energy flows through our lives. Naturally, this week draws our attention to what surrounds us and how reality is shaped. Looking at our homes, our workspaces, our bodies, and the way our time is organized, subtle discomforts may become noticeable—not as problems, but as signals that refinement is possible.

Am I saying that cleaning our apartment becomes “aligning with destiny?” Yes, I sort of am.
Am I saying adjusting our schedule becomes “rewriting fate?” Yes, I am saying that too.

Everything matters. Everything we do, touch, and think influences how our reality forms. Reorganizing, beautifying, or adjusting routines can feel less like effort and more like fulfilling a call. What we engage with repeatedly begins to define our inner state. Spiritual insight becomes real only when the nervous system and habits change. Where we place our attention reveals where energy has been scattered—and where it wants to settle.

This week, the energy is shifting in ways we may not fully understand, only experience. A new era is opening. If you feel restless or out of sorts, it may not just be you—it may be the cosmos. Give yourself a break as life flows through the structures you’ve setup.

When we set up life to work for us, positive energy can flow with less struggle, and good things tend to build on themselves. That doesn’t mean our environment needs to look like a museum—unless you live in one?—but it does mean our systems should make sense to us. Order doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to support us. The system needs to work whether others understand it or not.

If you have a hard time understanding, accepting, or standing up for yourself with others, I am hosting an online workshop, Directions, to support you with this.

We like clean starts because our intentions come into focus, and this week is full of them: New Moon. New Month. New cycle. It’s time to prepare for the energy flowing in. If you’ve been drifting a little, this is a good week to tighten things up and be intentional. Otherwise, nothing changes—and we tend to keep getting the results we’re used to.

Keep in Mind

Pisces is medically associated with the feet, the lymphatic system, and the subtle immune and energy boundaries of the body—areas connected to surrender, sensitivity, and spiritual integration. This season often highlights the need for rest, compassion, and release rather than control or overexertion. In the Pisces exercise from my upcoming new Mindware App release (iOS), the medical mantra "Dissonances and Conflicts Within Me Have Been Resolved.” is used as a somatic reminder of these qualities. If you’d like to explore the daily archetypal influences more deeply, you can access them through the in-app subscription.

Essential Oil of the Moment: Pisces

The Pisces Essential Oil Blend offers a gentle way to work consciously with the tone of the month. Many people use this blend as a sensory anchor during periods that emphasize intuition, creativity, forgiveness, and spiritual reflection—whether diffused during meditation, worn before sleep, or incorporated into intentional rituals. Designed to complement Pisces themes rather than override them, this blend supports emotional clarity, subtle awareness, and conscious surrender throughout the season.

Are You a Pisces?

If you’re a Pisces—or if you’re seeking clarity around how Pisces season may personally affect you—a chart reading can offer insight into where these themes are surfacing in your life and what cycles are completing or beginning for you specifically. For Pisceans, this is also the time of your solar return. A solar return reading looks at the year ahead, highlighting major themes, spiritual developments, opportunities, and areas of refinement as you begin your next journey around the Sun. If you’re interested in body-based or healing support, you can also explore healing sessions, depending on what you’re seeking at this time.

TEACHINGS OF THE TRANSITS

Sunday, February 15, 2026 

Today is the first full day with Saturn officially in Aries, and the tone shifts into disciplined initiation. The fire of Aries now answers to Saturn’s authority, meaning impulse meets consequence and desire meets structure. This is the beginning of a long cycle of maturing our independence, redefining leadership, and taking responsibility for our actions rather than reacting from instinct alone. We may feel a quiet pressure to step up, commit, or take ourselves more seriously—not in a heavy way, but in a focused one. The message of the day is clear: courage is no longer reckless, it is strategic, and what we begin now wants to be built to last.

Monday, February 16, 2026 

The week opens with a jolt as the Sun squares Uranus. Expect sudden shifts, surprises, or the urge to break free from something that feels limiting. This energy is electric and unpredictable. Don’t cling too tightly to plans. At the same time, Mercury trine Jupiter expands your thinking and brings opportunity through conversation. Brilliant ideas can land quickly. A disruption early in the day could actually open a door by night. Stay flexible and think bigger than the problem.

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 

This is a major power day. The New Moon in Aquarius arrives with a Solar Eclipse, amplifying themes of reinvention, community, and future vision. Eclipses accelerate timelines, so what begins now carries long-term impact. Lunar New Year energy reinforces the sense of initiation, while the Fire Horse adds boldness and momentum. Take a risk on your authenticity. However, Venus semisquare Chiron may stir subtle relationship sensitivities. Old wounds around love or worth may surface quietly. Notice what feels tender—that’s where healing is asking to begin.

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 

The tone softens as the Sun enters Pisces. After the mental and social electricity of Aquarius, we move into emotional and intuitive waters. Reflection deepens. With the First Night of Ramadan and Ash Wednesday, themes of surrender, compassion, and spiritual devotion are highlighted collectively. Mars forms novile aspects to Saturn and Neptune, suggesting quiet karmic adjustments. This is not about force—it’s about aligned effort. Act with intention, not impulse.

Thursday, February 19, 2026

A Mercury semisquare Pluto sharpens the mind but it can also intensify communication. Power dynamics may surface. We might feel compelled to get to the bottom of something. Be mindful of obsessing or pushing too hard. Truth wants to emerge, but delivery matters. This is an excellent day for research, strategy, or confronting something we’ve been avoiding—just stay conscious of tone.

Friday, February 20, 2026

Saturn conjunct Neptune is one of the defining signatures of the century. Structure meets spirituality. Illusions dissolve, but so can rigid boundaries. We may feel called to bring a dream into practical form. This is about disciplined faith—building something inspired. Later, the Sun septiles Chiron and brings subtle, almost fated healing energy. Pay attention to synchronicities or symbolic moments. They carry guidance.

Saturday, February 21, 2026

Venus noviles Chiron and offers a softer integration of the earlier relationship themes. Where tension showed up earlier in the week, now there is space for understanding. Small gestures matter. Quiet compassion goes far. This is subtle, sacred healing energy—not dramatic, but meaningful.

For Ongoing Self-Care

Periods of collective uncertainty can amplify stress and mental overload. Paying attention to rest, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation becomes especially important during times like these. Through Astrolochi®, I offer remote sessions focused on spiritual, emotional, and mental support, including video readings and distance healings. If you’d like more information, you can reach out through ArikXander.com.
