Pisces Weekly Horoscope | February 16th – February 22nd, 2026
You have an extraordinary ability to speak to people’s hearts, minds, and souls when Mercury forms a trine to your Ruling Planet Jupiter on February 16th. This can be good if your motives are pure — that is, restorative, healing, and rehabilitative — because you will turn hopeless situations into hopeful ones. However, if you use this energy to manipulate people’s psychologies — like telling them what they should feel or using their secrets to bring them to heel — then the energy will turn against you. There’s always a moral obligation to do good when Mercury and Jupiter join forces. It’s all about bringing on the higher love.

A Solar Eclipse in your sign closes a door while opening a window of opportunity somewhere else. You probably understand how this is a good thing theoretically, but in truth you would have preferred it if said door had remained open because now you have to go searching for something you didn’t really seek or want. Thankfully, the eclipse in Aquarius will be followed by a Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries on the 20th. This means that there really is a higher intelligence at work. Deciphering what that is, however, and what that means for you will be your main focus in the months to come.

The thing they don’t tell you about Capricorns is that they’re closet optimists. Behind that curmudgeonly exterior lies the heart of a romantic. Yet the only thing more frightening to the children of Saturn is to see that romance quashed, which is why they keep this part of themselves sequestered. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction on February 20th will make the case that keeping your hopes and dreams under lock and key won’t protect you from life’s disappointments. If anything, it stifles them. It’s time to give hopes and dreams free rein in your life. It’s the only way for you to see how resilient they can be.

A Saturn/Neptune conjunction in that part of your solar chart that pertains to matters of the heart will be both revealing and inspiring. Revealing in that you never thought you’d ever feel so passionate again, and inspiring because you can see for the first time in a long time committing to something that could change your life dramatically. Whether it’s romance or a creative endeavor, it’s good to feel enraptured. Loved ones and friends may caution against wearing your heart on your sleeve, but you know you’re all in. Tired of playing it safe, you’re ready to take a chance and see where things go.

Developments close to home on February 17th will rock your world, but this will be for the better rather than the worse. For months you’ve been stubbornly clinging to a hope or wish that’s been holding you back. Part of you knew that it wouldn’t materialize, but another part of you was also more than happy to use this as an excuse to put aspirations on the back burner — hence life in limbo. It’s never pleasant to experience a top-to-bottom shakedown initiated by a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, but what you get as a result is freedom and a whole new lease on life.

Saturn conjunct Neptune on February 20th dissolves the disillusionment you’ve been wrestling with lately. For months you tried convincing yourself that adopting a more hardened and cynical approach to life would mend a broken heart, but today’s cosmic pairing will make you see just how truly empty that solution is. Not only does it go against your zodiacal nature to believe the best in people, but Libras aren’t happy unless they’re pursuing a romantic ideal. This may require a complete about-face in the direction you’ve been going, but nothing could be more enlivening than jettisoning a worldview that’s as drab as it is dreary.

You have friends in high places, and now’s the time to contact them. Ruling Planet Mercury trine Jupiter on February 16th shows that circumstances couldn’t be more opportune to ask them for a favor, recommendation, or valuable introduction. They can open doors for you. Moreover, you want to do this when you’re riding a wave of good fortune and not when you’re down on your luck. People are more likely to back someone who makes them look good, which is why they say that success has many friends. A trump card isn’t any good if it’s never played, so get out there and make the rounds.

There’s more to grass than it being greener on the other side of the fence. With Saturn forming a conjunction to Neptune in Aries, a zodiac sign famous for its derring-do and spirit of adventure, it makes perfect sense that you’d be asked to leave your familiar stomping grounds to pursue something new in a different environment. The question is: are you free to go? The answer is yes, given that this conjunction follows a Solar Eclipse in your opposite sign on February 17th. Not only are people giving their consent, they’ll be all kinds of excited about you making this change in your life.

It’s always intimidating taking over from someone who was a success in their own right. Comparisons to this person’s stellar performance can’t be helped, and you may feel like your chance to shine may be over before it began. The danger here is in trying to replicate what this person did. Not only is it impossible; it’s inadvisable, so stop trying to fill a predecessor’s shoes. That was then, and now it’s you. Resist the temptation to prove yourself and focus instead on the experience, talent, and new approach that you bring to the table. Given time, people will come to recognize you on your own merits.

You should receive good news regarding finances on February 16th when Ruling Planet Mercury trines benevolent Jupiter. This could pertain to the repayment of a loan, an overdue reimbursement, or a court ruling going in your favor. In any case, it looks like a nice amount of money. Another thing you’ll want to keep an eye on is investments. You could see some unexpected activity in a corner of your portfolio that you were close to writing off. It will feel like Fate is finally smiling down on you (and it is!), which is why you need to make the most of it while you can.

The Solar Eclipse on February 17th forms its first and last square to revolutionary Uranus in your sign. This presages a major change in your career or career status. You may have gone as far as you can go in your current line of work and are looking for something different — something more fulfilling. Obviously there are risks involved, and you’re understandably reluctant to walk out on something that provides so much security in a time of uncertainty, but if there’s one good thing that Uranus can do right now, it would be to push you forward in the direction you know you should go.

The scales fall from your eyes when Saturn conjoins Neptune on February 20th. This won’t be a rude awakening as much as a dawning realization. As an Aries, you tend to follow others’ marching orders if it’s in service to a good cause or if you feel like you’re fighting the good fight. You like a strong leader. Although the planetary conjunction may prove disillusioning at first, it will also show that it’s time to take charge of your own life. Free from the demands and expectations that others imposed on you, you can now pursue those aspirations that speak to your heart and soul.
