New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius

New Moon/Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius:  February 17, 2026, 4:01 a.m. PST

This New Moon in Aquarius is also a tense Solar Eclipse! The Sun and the Moon are in square to Uranus, and that ramps up an already unpredictable energy of an eclipse.

But, if you feel "stuck" and can't move forward, no matter how hard you try, the energy of this eclipse is actually very helpful.  It can get you unstuck fast.  Just remember that eclipse energy works in unpredictable ways, so what you're asking for can come into your life fast, but there can be some big twists and turns along the way. 

Aquarius rules groups of people and all kinds of electronic communication, so it’s also a good time to set intentions for success in such areas as social media or online dating.

Its also a good New Moon if you want to find "your tribe" - a circle of people who get you.

You're not limited to these topics. Setting intentions for anything you want to attract into your life is fair game. But, the intentions for the matters ruled by Aquarius get an extra boost.

How To:

1. The Moon will go void of course at the time of the eclipse, so wait until 6:09 a.m. PST to set your intentions.  You don't have to set them right then, either - any time within 8 hours will work.  Set aside about 30 minutes for this.
   
   
2. Prepare your space. Minimize distractions, and use a quick meditation or a ritual of your choice to put you in the optimal frame of mind.
   
   
3. Focus on your intentions. Truly FEEL them. How will it feel when all of a sudden, the way forward appears where you've felt stuck? Feel the relief, freedom and liberation that will envelop you. The lightness in your step - and soul. How will it feel, when you're admiring your new logo that reflects your business just perfectly? Or when you've made a connection with some like-minded individuals, and you finally feel truly accepted and understood? 
   
   
4. Write down your intentions and keep them. And, write down one (or more) action steps that YOU are going to take, to help you get there. And then, commit to following through while the Moon is waxing over the next couple of weeks, until March 3. Do your part, and leave the rest to the Universe.

Sample Intentions Might Include:

“I want to easily see a new and successful approach to solving the problem of _____________”

“I want inspiring new ideas to occur to me regarding my goal of ____________”

“I want to easily find myself using my unique quality of ______ to attract success in __________”

“I want to easily find myself feeling comfortable and self-confident in group situations”

“I want to attract new business via social media”

“I want to attract successful relationships via online dating”

"I want to be able to make a successful fresh start in the area of ________".

To Go Deeper:

We all have the ability to draw what we desire to us, the ability to manifest the future we want. We don't always use it, because we don't know how!

There is only so much I can cover in a blog post, but good news!  

My very popular New Moon workshop is now available as a digital mini-course.  You can take it at the time convenient for your time zone.  I recommend taking it right before you start setting your intentions: the workshop ends with a powerful visualization that takes you straight into your intention setting.

Or, go for the full meal deal and sign up for my course, MoonManifest! It includes the New Moon workshop.
