Aries Weekly Horoscope | February 9th – February 15th, 2026
Saturn reenters Aries on February 13th. As the planet of trials and tribulations, you will feel like your burdens have grown heavier and your tasks more thankless. But Saturn doesn’t do this to quash your spirit; it does it to rekindle your fire. This is the time to choose which challenges you want to take on and which to put down, because you just can’t do them anymore. You need to be absolutely honest with yourself so you can focus your energy on those endeavors you want to pursue. Do this and you will not only face your fears, but grow stronger with each obstacle you surmount.

After dipping its toe in the pool last year and then taking it back out again, Saturn enters the zodiac sign of Aries for good on February 13th. This is bound to introduce a new repertoire of detours, delays, and stumbling blocks. Saturn, planet of trials and tribulations, has a reputation for blocking progress, but actually it enables it by testing to see if you have the drive and resourcefulness to keep on going when everyone else has thrown up their hands and given up. If your first reaction to something going wrong is to say, “I can’t do this,” then Saturn has shown you that you can only go so far; but if your reaction is to try to figure out how to salvage a situation or cobble together some kind of solution, then Saturn shows you that you’re more capable than you know—because the only time we draw on strengths we never thought we had is when we’re going through a rough patch. Often blamed for placing limits on our progress, Saturn in Aries reveals that those limits were self-imposed all along.

They say that Mercury, planet of thinking, struggles in the zodiac sign of Pisces, but that’s a matter of perspective. You’ve never been one for facts and stats. That sort of staccato analysis misses the point of the links between parts. It’s why you’ve always been an associative thinker – paddling from idea to idea in a free flowing stream of consciousness. Mercury in Pisces from February 6th to April 14th will help you uncover the theme that weaves disparate ideas into a polychromatic tapestry. And like a Buddhist sand mandala painstakingly put together over a period of time, it will be erased entirely upon completion.

Uranus out of retrograde on February 3rd is your wake-up call. Changes that once lay about like sleeping dogs are now up and barking. You can no longer put off decisions that need to be made any more than you can ignore developments pulling you in a new and undisclosed direction. Since much of what will be playing out over the next few weeks will be foregone conclusions (nothing will surprise you) it’s best to be proactive. This way it looks as if you planned on these things happening all along. You’ll be out ahead of events rather than racing to catch up to them.

Try to be more receptive to what’s going on. There’s a flood of new ideas, fresh opportunities, and intriguing perspectives spilling into your life right now and you’re the one who stands to benefit the most if you’re smart. Indeed mindful listening would be a good thing to practice on a daily basis. Instead of insisting you have all the answers; ask, instead, what someone can teach you, what you need to grow, and what would be the best way to pursue your dreams at this juncture. You may be surprised to see how productive simple adjustments and tweaks to the formula can be.

You may want to place sticky notes as reminders around the house, leave voice memos to yourself, or come up with your own version of Ariadne’s thread while Ruling Planet Mercury is in Pisces. Mercury is in both detriment and fall in the zodiac sign of the fish which means that you may feel at times like Ingrid Bergman in search of her heirloom brooch in the movie Gaslight. So are you being deliberately mislead or is this all a trick of the mind? It’s hard to tell, but that won’t always be the case – especially when the mental fog lifts on March 9th.

Uranus coming out of retrograde on February 3rd resuscitates matters that had been put on the backburner. You’ve no choice but to address them. Yet what’s nice about the timing is that it’s given you and the other party a cooling off period so you can reflect on what you each want. Things were quite tense when Uranus reversed direction last September and now it feels like you can have the discussion that would have been impossible back then. Chances are you’ll pick up right where you left off – arguing – but given a few days you’ll see the conversation become more conciliatory and supportive.

You’ll want to keep your contingency plans close, but your exit strategy closer. A situation has reached a critical juncture which is why you must pay close attention to what’s going down. There are things to gain and things to lose and being born under the zodiac sign of the balance you’ll want to weigh those carefully. There is such a thing as the circumstances looking right but the timing being off – which means you may want to retreat and try another day. Then again, threatening to back away could fake out the other party and give you a clear opening to what you seek.

You’ll have to break ties with one party if you want to pursue a better situation with another. It happens all the time in business, but as a Virgo you can’t help feeling bad. Nevertheless you’ve studied the pros and cons and just don’t see how you can afford to pass up this opportunity. That said, be prepared to pay for it in some way. Maybe there’s a penalty fee or you’ll have to work for both sides temporarily to ensure a smooth transition. The Mercury part of you resents being made to jump through hoops but your conscience will sleep much better at night.

Uranus comes out of retrograde on February 3rd. For most people this might sound like a good reason to dive into the nearest foxhole, but you’ve grown accustomed to the planet of revolution and change hanging out in your solar midheaven. Admittedly you’ll never be a big fan of surprise upsets, but at the same time there’s something to be said for the unexpected turnabouts that wind up working out in your favor and it’s this last part you’ll want to pay attention to. You may think you’ve seen it all, but nothing compares to the Hollywood ending that you’ll experience in late April.

There’s never just one cure-all. Not with you. The way out of a tight fix usually involves a series of short-term solutions stitched together to help you get from here to there. You hate having to borrow from Paul to pay Peter or coax a situation on its last legs to keep going just a little longer yet this is also when you are the most creative and resourceful. You may yearn for security, but you also know there’s nothing more deadening than the formulaic. The trick is to find the midpoint between consistency and cacophony; something you’ll be discovering in the weeks to come.

Thank heavens you were born under a zodiac sign famous for thinking on its feet. If anyone can improvise on the spot or make things up as they go along – it’s you. Mercury/Uranus squares (like the one on February 5th) are famous for pulling the rug out from under our most reasonable expectations. What seemed doable at the beginning of the day may prove impossible by the end of it. Thankfully the aspect is followed by Mercury entering Pisces on Friday. This shows you coming up with a hastily cobbled together solution – one that may be better than what you originally started out with.
