The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius-Dhanishta of February 17th, 2026, is an ‘annular’ event, where the edges of the Sun are exposed around the Moon’s disk, creating a Ring of Fire effect in the eclipse’s path of visibility.

This eclipse is a supercharged New Moon, which draws a line under the past and allows you to move forward feeling lighter and freer. Your emotions and psychic instincts are finely tuned, though you are also intense and possibly anxious, and may dramatize or overreact to the most ordinary situation. Dhanishta’s symbolism is connected to wealth and abundance, and this moment may affect your business decisions, and perhaps remove an obstacle to resources flowing or promised to you.

This nakshatra is known as The Star of Symphony, and you can express yourself and follow a pulse or rhythm through dance and music that offsets the intensity of the moment. The planet Venus is also close to the eclipsed Sun, and may affect your relationship with the arts, where you excel as a performer or entertainer, or perhaps an organizer of a cultural event. You also have the ability to bring people together and create harmony, though keep in mind the eclipse’s power to bring an unexpected karmic or fated encounter.

The spectacular display of this eclipse is only visible in the Antarctic region and the southern tip of Africa and South America, but wherever in the world you are, take a deep breath, and wait two to three days until the Waxing Crescent Moon appears in the sky. Committing to a purchase or decision will go better after this point. Spiritual work is highly profitable at the eclipse moment, however, and meditation becomes deep, affirming, and gives excellent value for effort.
