Solar eclipse may bring big shifts in love and work

What the solar eclipse brings

The eclipse will occur on February 17, 2026, at 2:11 p.m. Kyiv time, in the 29th degree of Aquarius. This so-called "anaretic degree" marks the end of a cycle — a point that calls for final decisions and closing chapters that no longer have room to grow.

"This eclipse sums up processes tied to groups, social connections, technology, professional communities and long-term goals," the astrologer says.

"It marks a moment when previous strategies for the future lose relevance, and a new model — one better aligned with current reality — must take shape," she adds.

The eclipse is ruled by Uranus, meaning events could unfold suddenly, with no return to previous conditions.

"Over the next six months, we may see unexpected staffing changes, shifts in professional direction, transformations in social circles and the digital environment," the expert notes.

Those with key natal chart points at 28–30 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio will feel the effects most strongly. Symbolically, however, the eclipse launches a new cycle for everyone.

An important chapter is ending, freeing you from the past and opening space for a new cycle. This is a time of inner reset, clearing outdated psychological patterns and setting new goals.

"Inner cleansing and a clear understanding of your true needs will help you move forward more effectively," the astrologer says.

A new cycle begins in your identity, image and life path. Major changes, new roles and fresh directions are now at the starting line. This is a reset point — a chance to shape a new version of yourself.

"Events during this period may change your role in society, career and personal relationships," Lahuz says.

Capricorn — solar eclipse in the 2nd house

Finances and resources are set for change. A new source of income may emerge, or you could reconsider how you earn and what you truly value. This is a time to build financial stability and independence.

"Developments during this period will help you reassess your attitude toward money and resources and define new financial priorities," the astrologer notes.

Communication, learning and new connections take center stage. Important meetings, contract signings, media or online projects are possible. Your words and actions now will shape your prospects for the year ahead.

Scorpio — solar eclipse in the 4th house

Home, family and inner stability are set to shift. A move, change of residence or major family decisions are possible. This is a time to build a new foundation, where security and emotional balance become key priorities.

"Your inner world will also transform. Old beliefs, fears and emotional blocks give way to new behavior patterns and life rules," the astrologer adds.

Libra — solar eclipse in the 5th house

Creativity, self-expression and personal life gain special importance. You may launch a new project, hobby or passion that brings satisfaction and recognition. In love, expect meaningful encounters and shifts in relationships.

"It’s time to show your talents and skills. Don’t be afraid to take initiative and highlight your strengths," Lahuz advises.

Virgo — solar eclipse in the 6th house

Work, health and daily routines move to the forefront. Old methods and привычки stop working — it’s time to introduce new systems. Changes at work, in your schedule or even in your field are possible.

"It’s time to build healthy habits, improve efficiency and take care of your well-being. Your daily actions now lay the foundation for future stability and results," the astrologer says.

Leo — solar eclipse in the 7th house

Relationships and partnerships are in focus. Some long-standing alliances may end, but new people will enter your life with important lessons, support and opportunities. This applies to both personal and business partnerships.

"Events during this period will teach you to choose partners consciously, define your boundaries and clarify your values. The people who enter your life during the eclipse may have a lasting impact on your growth and success," Lahuz explains.

She also advises taking initiative, accepting responsibility and setting new rules in both personal and professional life.

Cancer — solar eclipse in the 8th house

Financial and psychological transformations reach a peak. This is a time to review shared resources, investments, loans or obligations. Unexpected expenses or the closure of old financial matters are possible.

"Your inner world is also renewing — old fears and limitations give way to new opportunities and stability. This is a period of deep transformation, when emotional maturity and financial awareness become the key to future growth," the astrologer shares.

Gemini — solar eclipse in the 9th house

The eclipse opens new horizons — education, travel, international connections, shifts in worldview and life goals. You may make a decision that changes your direction for years to come. It’s time to expand your boundaries, join large-scale projects and explore new opportunities.

"This is an especially important period for education, certifications, new knowledge and international contacts. Decisions made now will have long-term consequences. New connections and skills may unlock prospects that once seemed out of reach," Lahuz explains.

Taurus — solar eclipse in the 10th house

This eclipse activates your career, status and reputation. Unexpected job offers may arise — a new position, expanded responsibilities or even a move into a different field. If you have long sought recognition or a promotion, this period creates favorable conditions.

"You may catch the attention of influential figures, executives or potential partners. Old work methods and routine approaches may no longer deliver results — it’s time to take initiative, propose fresh ideas and take responsibility for change. Events during this period could define your professional status for years ahead," the astrologer notes.

Aries — solar eclipse in the 11th house

This eclipse opens a new cycle in your social life and the pursuit of personal goals. You may meet new friends or contacts who support your growth. Some old connections may fade to make room for more influential and promising people.

"This is an ideal time to launch online projects, blogs, communities and any audience-driven initiatives. Events will become especially active after March 26, 2026. If you’ve dreamed of popularity, now is the time to act — social media, friends and networks are working in your favor. You may even become a leader within your own community or interest group," the expert says.

She also advises using the first lunar day to write down wishes, plans and goals related to the eclipse themes. This will strengthen the energy of manifestation. What you set in motion now may materialize over the next 6–12 months.
