“We will all be deeply affected by this New Moon solar eclipse in Aquarius, but three signs will feel its impact the most,” says astrologer Rachel Ruth Tate.
The annular solar eclipse of the New Moon in Aquarius on February 17, 2026, ushers in the Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology and begins the first eclipse season of 2026. “This is the first eclipse in Aquarius since 2018, and it holds special significance. The event marks the beginning of an unpredictable month full of accelerated change, unexpected twists and opportunities to take a decisive step into the future. This solar eclipse calls on us to radically rethink our relationships with our communities, our sense of belonging, technology, the internet and humanity in general. It encourages us to abandon outdated patterns of life, take a closer look at the processes that form in groups, and embrace new ways of thinking, creating and collaborating,” explain the astrologers at Moon Omens.

Which zodiac signs will feel the most impact of the New Moon on February 17, 2026?
Astrologer Rachel Ruth Tate explains for Casinos Analyzer who will see the most noticeable changes.
ARIES
“Saturn, the stern ruler of this New Moon eclipse, has just entered your sign, meaning you are on the cusp of major social change. Add to that a conjunction with Neptune (the mystical, destabilizing planet) and you have a mental fog that can throw even the most stable of people off balance. You may find yourself having to make decisions or commitments before you feel fully prepared. But Aries is a master at moving forward and taking on any challenge. Trust your motivation and inner determination, even when things seem out of control.”
LION
“Your ruling planet finds itself in the shadow of an eclipse, Leo. This makes the New Moon in Aquarius a time of completions and new beginnings in your personal life, even if the line between the two seems blurry at first. Alliances may be made and broken, and your understanding of the order in key relationships may shift dramatically. Look back at the evolution of partnerships since 2018 to better understand current processes, and be prepared to review your own belief systems and daily habits to fully integrate the experiences that change your worldview. And remember: don't dim your glow for anyone.”
AQUARIUS
“Congratulations on the first eclipse in your sign since 2018, Aquarius. Think back to the projects and relationships that began then to better understand the context as life scenarios begin to change under the pressure of this cosmic event. Not everything is meant to last forever, and you may need to let go of ideas or people that disrupt your natural balance and clarity. Personal stability and emotional security are key to maximizing your potential and using your energy effectively. Prepare in advance and don't be afraid to say “no” to anything that doesn't make you say “yes” unconditionally.”
