Today's Horoscope for Wednesday February 18th
Regard this as a gestation phase of a few weeks, when you ponder and prepare for what is about to come nearer your birthday. This is your time in the year to step back, take stock, recharge your batteries and let others do the running around. Do not be discouraged by what is not working out as quickly as you expected. Nothing comes together spectacularly well at this time of the year for you. Have patience and what you want will all come right soon.
The Weekly Outlook from 16th February
There may be a casual encounter early on with a new acquaintance. It may not seem an important meeting but they could turn into a good friend in future if you can be on your toes and make all the right noises. Make sure you know how to contact them again later. After midweek a hidden Sun will not find you at your most outgoing and sociable. You will be happiest in the quiet backwaters and even your own company will not be a hardship for short periods though obviously not all the time.
Your Monthly Horoscope for February
A less stressful month than January, you'll be in friendly mood keen to involve yourself in group activities, to swap ideas and keep on the move, You will speak your mind freely for a few days but then reckon that discretion might be sensible so you'll listen rather than say too much. You'll be a sympathetic shoulder to lean on for those in need. Pampering yourself will be wise after the 10th in the absence of anyone else indulging you. Saturn moving into your own sign just before the middle of the month to stay for two years ahead hints you need to be serious and practical when it comes to sorting out future plans. This is a significant turning point when you will increasingly find that old ambitions no longer fire your enthusiasm. So you will be sorting out your options. You may want to withdraw at times to give yourself a chance for reflection. There will be a surprise turn of events around the 15th which may indicate a new opportunity. The final ten days will be quiet, secretive and a time for taking stock.
and Next Month's Horoscope for March
The early Lunar Eclipse in your chart area of duty and fitness suggests you will be looking for a way to balance your responsibilities and your need to top up your stamina. From the 6th with Venus moving through your own sign you'll be all charm, smiles and sweet words on the surface. Behind the scenes will be a different matter since you will be pulling strings like mad, persuading others to dance to your tune if you cannot dance it yourself. Certain projects and plans will be on a go-slow which means being patient, not always your strong suit. But you could turn any delays to your advantage by revising your ambitious schemes so when the red lights turn to green you will forge ahead knowing all the details will have been considered. It will also be sensible to take time out to relax and recharge your batteries while you leave others to do the heavy lifting. Your birthday Sun in the final ten days will lift your spirits and confidence. There will be a few muddles and difficulties to overcome but you'll get a grip and be in control.
Year Ahead 2026
As a fiery, adventurous sign, times of change and transition are not a problem for you though you may have odd moments of confusion and indecision. Saturn and Neptune moving through your own sign will find you both serious and sympathetic, aware that you need to leave the past behind, yet low in motivation or clear vision. Be grateful for moments when you draw closer to the special people in your life as you lower your defences. Jupiter moving through Cancer, your chart area of home and family affairs, will bring comfort and relaxation until July, as you snuggle up in familiar surroundings and find old tensions wind down. You?ll be content within yourself and then from mid-year you?ll be socially outgoing, determined to revive your leisure activities and have fun for the rest of the year. Your inventive ideas will bring you into contact with influential friends as you press ahead determined to make a difference and initiate constructive changes not only in your own life but also out in your community. Certain friendships will become intense and not always easy to handle calmly. Your outspoken approach will get at the truth but may not always go down well. A mixed bunch of eclipses will focus your attention on your future plans and your finances early on, giving you a nudge to up your game in both areas. From September onwards for several months finding a balance between a lively social life interspersed with quiet time for yourself will be important.
