General for Week Commencing: Monday 23 February 2026
Aries    Aries Monday 23 February 2026  Mar 21 - Apr 19
A friendly aspect between Venus and Jupiter, the two benefics of the solar system that peaks on Monday, is one of the most auspicious aspects of the year. Any time that Venus and Jupiter come together, either as their once a year alignment or the two times they will form this friendly aspect, is going to be good news, bringing the element of luck and the laws of attraction into alignment. In this instance, this will not only be felt on a personal level but will amplify a growing mix of both nostalgia and anticipation and especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Nostalgia, for while Jupiter is in retrograde motion, in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, Venus is taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. However, with Venus returning to Aries next week and major developments ahead on the fun, playful, romantic and creative front, with a sense of anticipation as well. Meanwhile, the week not only gets off to a positive start on the income, work and career fronts, but with a wave sweeping things forward.
 
Taurus    Taurus Monday 23 February 2026  Apr 20 - May 20
Moving into the new week with the Moon in Taurus is always an advantage, ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. While this is the Moon’s ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, this first visit since Uranus, the planet that has been a guiding light since his return in 2019, turned direct is helping to move things forward. This is giving you a chance to look to the future, while at the same time, the aspects the Moon will form on Monday will see a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. With Mars in his last full week in your career sector, this is going to be a busy week, with a chance to spend some time on Monday putting some guardrails in place. Meanwhile, it is when the Moon moves through your income sector from Tuesday and Thursday and in the heart of the working week that things will come together on the income and career fronts.
 
Gemini    Gemini Monday 23 February 2026  May 21 - Jun 21
While thanks to a friendly aspect between Venus, as she moves into her last full week in your career sector and Jupiter, now in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your income sector is going to get the week off to a positive start on both fronts, this is part of a much bigger picture. Mercury, who is slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn in your career sector on Thursday and the Moon when it moved through, both formed the same aspect to Jupiter last week while the Sun, settling into his first full week and Mars who will return next week, will both do the same over the coming weeks. This is strengthening the link between new professional and untapped income potential, while the two benefics of the solar system, Jupiter and Venus has brought the element of luck and the laws of attraction into alignment. Meanwhile, while not in direct competition and unlikely to cause a problem, starting the week with the Moon in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart is a reminder to pace yourself.
 
Cancer    Cancer Monday 23 February 2026  Jun 22 - Jul 22
What a difference a week can make. Last week began with the Moon having just left your relationship sector, where it had just clashed with Jupiter in Capricorn, while there was still tension from a clash with the asteroid Juno there. While from opposite sides of the sky Jupiter and Juno are keeping an eye on each other and on a balance between your own and your relationship needs, the tension that was there is gone. Instead, a week on, they both have a positive start to the week. Personally empowering is starting the week with Jupiter at a friendly aspect to Venus in an adventurous part of your chart. It is just as this peaks on Monday that the Moon will not only start the week at a friendly aspect to Juno in your relationship sector, but to the South Node in your communication sector. This might make it harder to move into the new working week with your professional hat on, but after the Moon left your career sector, with a call to hold back as you unpack and process a download of information and insight.
 
Leo    Leo Monday 23 February 2026  Jul 23 - Aug 22
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your career sector will always be an advantage, with a chance to ensure your professional instincts are sharp, you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground and are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start. That will always be the case and as a monthly event, this is something that every four weeks brings a chance to not only check in, but will see the Moon form a friendly aspect to the South Node in your income sector and the asteroid Juno in your work sector as it moves through. This will get the new working week off to an empowered start on the income, work and career fronts, while all are able to catch the same wave that is helping to move things forward. Meanwhile, as Venus moves into her last full week in your financial sector, a friendly aspect to lucky Jupiter is getting things off to an auspicious start.
 
Virgo    Virgo Monday 23 February 2026  Aug 23 - Sep 22
With the Moon not only starting the week in an adventurous part of your chart but at a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno in a playful and creative part, there is a call to lean into any sign of a case of Mondayitis. This is a message that is not only coming from the planets that will continue to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, but from the professional gods themselves, though with their hall pass only valid for Monday itself. On Tuesday, the Moon will not only return to your career sector in time to ensure that in the heart of the working week your professional instincts are sharp, but this will see it return on the same day that Mars moves into his final seven days in your work sector. Knowing that once he leaves next week he won’t be back for another two years but Pluto, the planet of change and transformation is not only staying on, but Uranus is returning in April to spend the next seven years in your career sector. What comes together on the job and career fronts between Tuesday and Thursday is helping to plant seeds for the future.
 
Libra    Libra Monday 23 February 2026  Sep 23 - Oct 23
Thanks to a friendly aspect between Venus, as she moves into her last full week in your work sector and Jupiter, now in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your career sector that peaks on Monday, the new working week is getting off to an empowered and auspicious start. After Mercury, who is slowing ahead of a retrograde turn in your work sector on Thursday did the same last week, as did the Moon when it moved through, this is strengthening the link between new job potential and the doors Jupiter is holding open to the past, second chances and untapped professional potential. The difference this time is that when Venus and Jupiter team up, so too do the laws of attraction and the element of luck. Meanwhile, as things continue to strengthen professionally, the Moon not only returns to an adventurous part of your chart on Tuesday, but on the same day that Mars moves into his final seven days in a playful and creative part. With Mars joining the Sun, Venus and Mercury in your busy work sector next week, this is a chance to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio Monday 23 February 2026  Oct 24 - Nov 21
While the conditions at the start of the week might make it hard to get or keep your work hat on, on both sides of life’s fence, the timing couldn’t be better. It was only on Sunday that the Moon left your work sector, something that allows you to move into the new working week with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but with a download of information, insights and messages to unpack. It was over the weekend that the Moon aligned with the now five planets in your work sector, with five different voices and sets of information to unpack. Just when your subconscious is crying out for time to quietly process it all, the week not only begins with a friendly aspect between Venus and Jupiter that is powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, but with the Moon helping to get the week off to a positive start on the communication, social and relationship fronts.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius Monday 23 February 2026  Nov 22 - Dec 21
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your work sector will always be an advantage, with a chance to ensure you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start. While an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks can give you a better read on work and job matters and act as a trigger, this first visit since Uranus turned direct and took the brakes off work and job matters, is a chance to get things moving. Thanks to the Moon’s friendly aspect to the South Node and the asteroid Juno on Monday, income and career potential are being swept forward on the same wave. Meanwhile, the week is getting off to a positive and even auspicious start on both the home and financial fronts and especially where they come together. At the same time, the Moon’s transit through your relationship sector from Tuesday to Thursday will be a chance for your relationships to benefit from Mars’ last full week in your communication sector and from his war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn Monday 23 February 2026  Dec 22 - Jan 19
As you move into the new week, there is not only a chance to keep your work hat off and especially on Monday, but on both sides of life’s fence, this is something you will benefit from. Thanks to the Moon and the aspects it is making on Monday, there is a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, with the forces that will keep things alive getting an additional boost. It is also on Monday that a friendly aspect between Venus in your communication sector and Jupiter in your relationship sector will peak. With Venus, the planet of love moving into her last full week in your communication sector and of her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice and Jupiter in his final weeks in retrograde motion, this will benefit both. Meanwhile, holding off from getting your work hat back on too soon will be a benefit when, from Tuesday to Thursday, the Moon will bring things together on the income and job fronts.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius Monday 23 February 2026  Jan 20 - Feb 18
This is a week that has it all while at the same time, brings a promise of things to come. For now, the outlier is the Moon’s return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart from Tuesday to Thursday. Not only is this right in the heart of the working week, but a week that gets off to an auspicious start thanks to a friendly aspect to Venus in your income sector and Jupiter in your work sector that peaks on Monday but will colour the rest of the week. This is part of a larger coming together of new income potential and the doors Jupiter is holding open to the past, second chances and untapped job potential that began with the Moon and Mercury last week and will continue with the Sun and Mars over the coming weeks. The difference this week is that Jupiter and Venus are bringing the element of luck and the laws of attraction into alignment. Meanwhile, while there are no planets in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, with Uranus returning in April to spend the next seven years here, this is a chance to get ready.
 
Pisces    Pisces Monday 23 February 2026  Feb 19 - Mar 20
Beginning the week with the Moon in your communication sector and at a friendly aspect to the South Node in your relationship sector couldn’t come with better timing and that is the case on two different levels. On the one hand, with the Moon not only returning to your relationship sector next week but as a total lunar eclipse and the last before the South Node leaves in July, this is a chance to get the communication lines open ahead of time. On the other hand, as Venus, the planet of love moves into her last full week in Pisces this will help with her mission to update your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the coming year. It was just last week that Venus crossed the lunar nodes, giving her a bird’s eye view of their policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs, while she begins this week at a friendly aspect to Jupiter in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. This is getting the first full week of your birthday month and new solar year off to an auspicious start.
