General for Week Commencing: Monday 09 February 2026

	Aries	Monday 09 February 2026	Mar 21 - Apr 19
Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector on Sunday, there is not only a chance to start the week emotionally engaged and aware from the start, but with a positive start to the week when it comes to friendship and relationship building. The last thing the Moon did before leaving was form a friendly aspect to Venus, who is leaving your friendship sector on Tuesday. This also saw the Moon connect with the planets that will stay on to keep things active on the social, friendship, teamwork and networking front. This is important, because on Tuesday, Venus will return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Meanwhile, days before the Sun is due to join Venus to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Saturn will return to Aries, where he will join Neptune and the rest of the planets to officially bring you to the start of a new three decade long Saturn cycle.

	Taurus	Monday 09 February 2026	Apr 20 - May 20
It is the Moon that is helping you stay in touch with and on top of the changes in play this week. While the Moon left your work sector on Sunday, it was not only here when Mercury left your career sector on Saturday, but ahead of Venus’ departure on Tuesday, formed a friendly aspect to the Sun and planets that will stay on to keep the wheels turning on the career front. This will also help to get the new working week off to a positive start, with a chance to ensure you have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. By then, the Moon will be starting the week with the Moon in your relationship sector, where it has already formed a friendly aspect to Mercury, who returned to your friendship sector over the weekend. While Venus will return there on Tuesday, with the Moon leaving your relationship sector just a few hours earlier. However, not before a friendly aspect to Saturn, for the last time before he leaves your friendship sector over the weekend. It is then that the Moon will return to your financial sector, with a chance from Tuesday to Thursday to check in on money matters.

	Gemini	Monday 09 February 2026	May 21 - Jun 21
Moving into the new working week with the Moon in your work sector is always an advantage, giving you an intuitive edge from the start and at what is a significant turning point in the professional year itself. After 13 years Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams left your career sector at the end of last month, before Mercury returned over the weekend and Venus on Tuesday to begin the most active months of the year on the career front. With after three years Saturn not leaving until Saturday, this is a chance for the early days of this new chapter to overlap the final days of what has been a long game and a new, more present and active phase. However, while this saw the Moon leave a playful and creative part of your chart on Sunday, Mercury an adventurous part the day before and will see Venus leave on Tuesday, with safeguards in place to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play. The Sun will keep the solar spotlight on the adventurous side of life’s fence until later next week, there will be a New Moon there early next week and Mars will continue to fuel a passion for adventure until leaving in early March.

	Cancer	Monday 09 February 2026	Jun 22 - Jul 22
Starting the week with the Moon not only in a playful and creative part of your chart, but with Mercury having returned to an adventurous part over the weekend, belies the fact that you have not only reached a major turning point in this professional year, but of the year itself. It was at the end of January that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned to spend the next 13 years in your career sector, but with a chance to spend time just focusing on the dream, before Saturn returns on Saturday to spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. By the end of the week Saturn will not only be here, but a nine day alignment with Neptune will be underway. Even then, it is not until the Sun and Venus return next month and Mercury and Mars the following month, that this will reach peak momentum. Until then, with the Sun not leaving an adventurous part of your chart until later next week and Mars here for the whole of February, they are working to keep things balanced.

	Leo	Monday 09 February 2026	Jul 23 - Aug 22
There is change in the air on a number of fronts this month, along with a crossover between two areas of change. While less of an impact on the year itself, important right now was Mercury, the planet of communication’s departure from your relationship sector over the weekend and Venus, the planet of love’s departure on Tuesday. As both will return at around the same time each year and are only here for a few weeks, this is what you would expect at this time of year, with the Sun, Mars and Pluto staying on to keep the focus on your relationships. Also expected is that this would see Venus and Mercury shift their focus onto your financial situation and money matters, as they return to your financial sector. However, just in time to capture Saturn's influence and resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes, before after Neptune left at the end of January, he too leaves on Saturday, ending 16 years of major planetary activity on the financial front. By the end of the week, Saturn will have joined Neptune in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery to begin a whole new era.

	Virgo	Monday 09 February 2026	Aug 23 - Sep 22
With no planetary activity in your communication sector, starting the week with the Moon here will always be an advantage. Especially as this is not just the Moon’s last visit before Saturn leaves your relationship sector over the weekend, not to return for another three decades, but after Mercury, the planet of communication returned over the weekend and ahead of Venus, the planet of love’s return on Tuesday. After Neptune left your relationship sector at the end of last month, Saturn’s departure will end 16 years of major planetary activity. Year after year, including the 16 years Neptune has just spent here and the nearly three years Saturn, the hard taskmaster of the cosmos but the planet with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes, the focus has been on your relationships. Venus and Mercury are the perfect planets to take it from here, freeing Saturn to join Neptune in your financial sector, joining up with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn financial dreams, hopes and aspirations into reality.

	Libra	Monday 09 February 2026	Sep 23 - Oct 23
While thanks to the Moon and the connections it is making, the week is getting off to a positive start on the income, work and career fronts, on Monday Venus is just one of the holdouts, as she works to make the most out of her last full day in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. This comes just as you have moved into one of the most pivotal weeks of the year on the job front, with a significant passing of the torch that when she leaves and returns to your work sector on Tuesday, Venus will become part of. Yet at the same time that Venus is joining Mercury, who returned over the weekend in time to take over from when after three years Saturn is leaving over the weekend, she is leaving behind the Sun, Mars and Pluto and they are not about to let life become all work and no play. This is where having the lunar nodes policing how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off comes in handy.

	Scorpio	Monday 09 February 2026	Oct 24 - Nov 21
Beginning the week with the Moon in Scorpio is always an advantage, giving you an intuitive edge, while allowing you to start the week with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, while emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. This will also see the Moon do a sweep of the heavens as it moves through, channelling back to you an intuitive read on the current conditions. On Monday, this will see the Moon’s influence lean to the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, where there are not only some exciting developments this week, but for months to come. At the same time, this will give you a read on a major powering up on the job front or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, will also see the Moon clash with Uranus, a week after his direct turn in your relationship sector. Still at a standstill, this can give anything stuck or stalled a nudge, though the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment standing by in your communication sector for support and the Moon returning there on Friday.

	Sagittarius	Monday 09 February 2026	Nov 22 - Dec 21
After Mercury, the planet of communication left your communication sector over the weekend, as you move into the new week, the focus is on Venus and while the planet of love will leave on Tuesday as well, with the Sun, Mars and Pluto staying on. The Sun is not only here until later next week, but next week will begin with the Moon in your communication sector and the lead up to the New Moon early next week underway. However, while the communication lines are in safe hands, it is only Venus who is focused exclusively on giving your heart and your relationships a voice. With Uranus having turned direct last week and on his way back to your relationship sector, while he won’t return until April, there are planets that will keep working on the communication lines until then. Meanwhile, Uranus is not only making the most of being back in direct motion in your work sector, but the Moon’s return to your income sector from Friday to Sunday will give you a better look at the forces keeping things in motion across the income, work and career fronts.

	Capricorn	Monday 09 February 2026	Dec 22 - Jan 19
While the Moon left your career sector on Sunday, this would always be an advantage, allowing you to move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp from the start. With Venus, the planet of money leaving your income sector on Tuesday and working to get the week off to a lucrative start or at least steer things in a lucrative direction, the timing couldn’t be better. This won’t be the end of the most active or potentially lucrative weeks of the year, with the Sun staying on in your income sector until later next week and Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos continuing his war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, until early March. Meanwhile, this will see Venus follow Mercury, the planet of communication into your communication sector, with a chance as the planet of love to focus more on giving your heart and your relationships a voice. This will give Mercury, who returned on Saturday to spend the next two months here, time to focus on all aspects of communication and across the board.

	Aquarius	Monday 09 February 2026	Jan 20 - Feb 18
While the Sun won’t leave Aquarius, bringing your birthday month to a close until later next week, Mars is here until early March and the New Moon that will give you a chance to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead isn’t until early next week, Mercury and Venus, the first planets to return this year, are also the first to leave. Mercury left over the weekend, but not before leaving you with everything needed to keep your head in the game, think on your feet and the communication lines open. Until Venus leaves on Tuesday, her focus will be on giving your heart a voice, without a need to overthink things or to focus on the when, where and how. As they leave, this will see Venus and Mercury branch out, returning to your income sector to not only kick off the most lucrative months of 2026, but in time to capture Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes, before he leaves over the weekend.

	Pisces	Monday 09 February 2026	Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Sun won’t return to Pisces to begin your birthday month and new solar year until next week, Mercury’s return over the weekend and Venus’ return on Tuesday will not only give you a jump on this, but their early return couldn’t come with better timing. It was on Saturday that Mercury returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open, something that will also happen at some point during your birthday month. Instead, a retrograde turn later in the month is going to keep Mercury here until April. At the same time, Venus’ return on Tuesday is a chance to put heart and mind on the same page, with both working in unison to give your new solar year a head start. More importantly, they will return before Saturn can leave on Saturday, with a chance to capture his resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. By the end of the week, Saturn will not only be in your income sector, but teamed up with Neptune to usher in some powerful years on the income front.
