The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 16 Feb – Sunday, 22 Feb
In a year of many astrologically significant weeks, this one is one of the tops. A solar eclipse angling Uranus spells surprises, in many cases related to finances and/or partnerships. Coming close on the heels of Valentine’s Day, maybe there has already been an unexpected development, but given that the timeline of an eclipse is elastic, the next couple of weeks could bring in a new chapter, suddenly and randomly. Saturn and Neptune conjoin on the midheaven of your solar chart, underlining a process that may have been going on for a while – the breakdown of old structures. What will replace them will take some time to manifest.
Unprecedented.

Monday, 9 Feb – Sunday, 15 Feb
On Saturday, Saturn begins its transit of your tenth solar house, a journey which will bring blessings as well as some major reality checks. For now it will be the June Cancerians who get to receive their Saturnian rewards, or those of you with planets and points from zero to four degrees of the cardinal signs (Cancer, Aries, Libra and Capricorn). With this in mind, treat any criticisms or setbacks as an opportunity to restructure and reboot your determination. The events that Saturn presides over are always purposeful.
Lessons in patience.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
February 2026
There’s nothing small and insignificant about February’s alignments: they have important implications for your future. Events on the global stage could affect your short or long-term agenda or developments in your personal life may inspire a change of plan. You may not be a great lover of change, but what happens this month is intended to liberate you. Only when you take a leap of faith will you discover you have wings. Especially on the weekend of the 14th, cut people a lot of slack and forget about sticking to the script. Improvise.

Make the moves. Have confidence in your talents and your ability to manifest.
