As with most eclipses, there may be moments of chaos — but if you’re among the signs least affected by the February 17 solar eclipse, this rollercoaster may be more thrilling than destabilizing.
February’s eclipse functions as a dramatic final act to the Aquarius season, culminating on the last full day the Sun transits this sign. Although solar eclipses usually bring quick beginnings or open unexpected doors, this one also has an energy of closure, giving you a chance to integrate the lessons of the last month and apply them in a much larger way to your evolution. With the rebellious, revolutionary spirit of Aquarius in charge, it’s time to question the rules you’ve been living by—consciously or not—because playing by the old rules may no longer work.

The eclipse forms a tense aspect to the planet of sudden change, Uranus, so the status quo can seem more oppressive than ever—both personally and collectively. You may feel like you’re following rules that no longer resonate with you. Just because you’re used to something doesn’t mean it’s good for you, and the jolts brought by this eclipse can help you break out of a comfortable but limiting cage.
The discoveries and revelations of this period align you with a new and more authentic direction. Even as challenges arise, there are serious reasons for optimism. Mercury, planet of the intellect, forms a harmonious trine to lucky Jupiter during the eclipse, opening the mind to new ideas and giving you a deep state of hope and idealism. Sometimes it’s the unexpected twists and turns that bring the most exciting opportunities, so don’t be afraid to break out of the box and try something different.
Eclipses are intense, but for the signs less affected by the February 17 eclipse, the world is not turned upside down. However, these signs can use the liberating energy of the moment to shake off the energetic chains that held them in place.
Virgo (August 22 – September 21)
Organization and discipline are natural Virgo gifts, but many underestimate your ability to thrive even in the midst of chaos—and this eclipse gives you the perfect opportunity to prove it. Expect the unexpected: Sudden changes in your schedule can throw your routine on its head. Unexpected opportunities or urgent information may require you to redirect your attention and temporarily set aside the advice of others.
