Cosmic Insights – February 9, 2026 February 9, 2026

by Veronica G. Hartman.

The celestial week of February 9th, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in the abstract brilliance of Aquarius, illuminating an opportunity to break through illusions with a concrete manifestation of one’s ideals. Aquarius energy is often considered quirky, weird, or unique, and unusual concepts are considered beyond the normal or accepted ways of experience in reality. However, Aquarius has two CEOs to work with as Saturn daily utilizes the tried and true methods of the past with an added or eclectic twist from Uranus, the evolutionary ruler of Aquarius. Thus, Saturn, the internal daily manager, tempers reliable progress with the dare to break free of restrictions attitude under the influence of Uranus’s intuitive insights, manner of forward progress. Fortunately, both are currently working together in harmony to provide direction rather than attempting to control an uncontrollable force as Saturn in Pisces softens the rebellious nature of Uranus in Taurus!

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving stealthily through emotionally powerful Scorpio with a magnified emotional intensity to go against the status quo, to explore new adventures to gain control of one’s inner and outer life with the assistance of Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, while Saturn in Pisces use that power to transform self-values and creativity by taking actions with the active direction of Mars in Aquarius that the best way out of a siutation is always through it.

Minutes after the Sun rose in Aquarius, it became a third-quarter lunar phase with the Moon in Scorpio, signifying the energy to take responsible actions to manifest the outcomes of intentions chosen at the recent Capricorn new moon cycle. Ironically, the midpoint of this third quarter lunar phase resides at six degrees of  Capricorn, symbolizing an opportunity to journey into the unknown, which may be the future or the past of the unconscious depths of emotions that are part and parcel of the actions. Either way, it is similar to a locomotive running forward to a specific destination. The key to the successful outcomes lies in keeping the emotional train on the purpose of them.

On the morning of February 10th, the Moon jumps off the Scorpio train of emotion for new adventures in Sagittarius. Sagittarius generally has a fun-loving, optimistic energy that defies logic in favor of a philosophical viewpoint that anything is possible with the right attitude. Lindsey Vonn’s brave attempt at the current Olympic Games is an excellent example of the Moon in Sagittarius to take emotional risks to live life fully.

However, Jupiter, the CEO of Sagittarius, as a self-appointed king of expansion, beliefs, and philosophy, is currently retrograde in Cancer with an opportunity to heal emotional differences and opinions associated with the unconscious conditioning of family and childhoodexperiences instead of dwelling on them. The key is to acknowledge emotional feelings from the past and address them from a position of what can be learned from them to experience a greater quality of life. The blessing is that the entire cast of planets is ready, willing, and able to assist the process of letting go of the past to create and experience a new desired reality.

Shortly after Venus moves into Pisces, with potentially the shadow of relationships that project victim issues of abandonment and or rejection may begin to creep in to validate the past, which only makes the victimization stronger, debilitating, and even seeking methods of escapism. Once again, the blessing lies in what can be learned consciously and emotionally released to free the energy of drowning in one’s sorrows and or regrets. On the bright side, it is also an opportunity to fall in love with life, music, art, others, or anything else that validates the value of being fully present for life.

On the afternoon of February 11th, Mercury shifts into the shadow of a retrograde cycle in elusive Pisces. Mercury does not actually go retrograde until  February 26th, yet in the shadow, it does offer a preview of the cycle, which may be a catalyst for more inclement weather, as Pisces is a water energy and three planets in Aquarius are indicative of frozen water in the form of ice. Thus, the key to weathering the next six weeks lies in being prepared. As with any Mercury retrograde cycle, there may be emotional misunderstandings, traffic, and scheduling mishaps or decisions that temporarily unwind throughout the retrograde period.

 In the early hours of February 12th, Mercury in Pisces unites with the North Node in mystical Pisces in a magical moment of artistic creation. Therefore, what may seem like a casual connection could actually be something brewing in the air. Paying attention to the soulful feelings of those potentially fated connections may carry into the next thirty years.

Later in the afternoon, the Moon takes an authoritative position, indicative of an emotional shift daily as it moves into Capricorn, with work routines taking priority. Saturn, the CEO of  Capricorn, is wrapping up the last two and a half years of manifesting dreams into reality as it leaves the realms of ethereal Pisces.

In the early evening of February 13th, Saturn moves into fiery Aries with an opportunity to give form to the dreams of the past few years, during the next two and a half years, with innovative, fearless action. The key lies in moving quickly to bring possibilities into probabilities with the authority of a CEO, instead of an impulsive child.
