Mercury and Venus, the planets of communication and relationship, come together with shadowy Rahu in Aquarius from February 6th to March 2nd, 2026.

Mercury and Venus combine to give you a smart and diplomatic way of relating, with wit, charm, and the ability to negotiate. In Aquarius, these planetary friends have great fixity, where you get your way by persistence, and wearing down the opposition by simply refusing to shift. In conjunction with desire-driven Rahu, be mindful of getting positively obsessed with a subject, ambition, or relationship that appears to have all your answers. This triple-conjunction sees you dive deeply into your studies or use of media, or else take a different mental direction, where an original idea grabs your attention.

Mercury in particular sees you with a commercial gift to sell and press the right psychological buttons to strike a deal in the real world. Rahu and Venus also give you a populist, campaigning touch, where you understand psychology and what people want to hear. In your close relationships, you are drawn to an outsider or someone from a different background or experience. A character you would usually overlook, or perhaps even be suspicious of, takes on an attractive new light, to the point where you become infatuated.

Be open to a fresh take, but careful of straying too far outside your usual romantic code. Rahu goes against the flow and adds an inspired touch if you break out of a familiar place, open your mind, and find a taste for the exotic. Find a compelling subject or political cause, and you have the best of old and new, the modern and traditional, and you occupy a creative space in the middle.
