The Sun, planet of the soul and self-expression, is in Shatabishta, the nakshatra within the sign of Aquarius, from February 19th to March 4th 2026.

Shatabishta is ruled by Varuna, the God of the Waters, which brings greater contact with this element, perhaps in the form of a deep experience in the inner sea of meditation. Swimming and being near water may also have a therapeutic effect. This asterism translates to ‘A Hundred Physicians’ and its Shakti, or special power, for Healing favours giving yourself a little extra care and attention, or spending time looking after a friend or family member.

A particular medicine, diet, or lifestyle is super-effective, and the Sun sheds a modern and innovative light on your healing process. You may be an early adopter of new wellness and healing technology and stay well-informed about advances in this area. Sun comes together with desire-driven Rahu through this whole transit, most closely on February 26th to 27th, when the solar light may be dimmed, and you are seized by an unusual ambition or wish. Be careful of cutting corners at this point, or being drawn into any ambition that compromises your values.

Shatabisha’s symbol of an invisible circular container represents infinity, or a veil that hides mystical secrets, and this could be the time to consult an astrologer or study the subject for yourself. The influence of supportive Jupiter on the Sun through this transit keeps you aligned with your true purpose and humanitarian impulses. You can take a different direction and look for a wise mentor to guide you in an important decision.
