The light-giving Sun and Venus, planet of relationships, come together in Aquarius from February 13th to March 2nd, 2026.

The Sun is entering Aquarius in the sign of Dhanishta, while Venus is initially in Shatabisha, so these two planetary enemies influence each other but remain far enough apart to act in their own independent ways. Venus is not completely burnt up in the Sun’s rays and keeps its aura of charm and diplomacy, which should see you in a friendly and generous mood. Aquarius is a naturally sociable and people-oriented sign, where you mix with a wide circle and enjoy the company of people with different interests.

The Sun gives you pride and confidence, and you like to be surrounded by interesting and influential types – it matters how people see you, and you may invest in your clothes and image. You can break the ice in a new setting, or repair any crossed wires with an old friend, and you are open and ready to forgive. Attention comes to find you without your seeking it, and you react to an unexpected romantic interest opening up in an unexpected place. Sun and Venus are both affected by rebellious Rahu, which carries the risk of a social misunderstanding or pressure coming on you from the outside.

This is a better time to venture into left field than to fit in with a conventional crowd, and an invitation to an unusual event fits the bill perfectly. The Solar eclipse of February 17th also draws Venus into its intensity, and a rare and powerful attraction may arise. Be careful of crossing a romantic boundary or acting impulsively in a way that is hard to undo later.
