Here’s my spiritual guidance February/March 2026, covering the lunar month beginning with the Aquarius new moon and solar eclipse on February 17th at 12.01pm (UK) through to March 18th. Every new lunar month I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to spark intuitive insight about the key energy to navigate by during the coming four weeks. I then take a quick look at the astrology.
Spiritual guidance February/March 2026 inspired by the Tarot
This lunar month arrives with a whisper and a warning as the Seven of Swords steps forward as guide for the next four weeks. It’s a card that asks you not to take anything at face value, including your own thoughts.

Paired with a solar eclipse at the new moon, we’re entering a period of sudden revelation. Eclipses have a way of pulling the rug out from under comfortable narratives. What’s hidden surfaces. What’s been ignored demands attention. What you thought was solid may shift overnight. It can feel chaotic. It can feel destabilising. But it is never random.
In Aquarius, this eclipse speaks not only to personal awakening but to the future of humanity itself. Collective structures, ideologies, technologies, and power dynamics may take unexpected turns. At first glance, what emerges may not look encouraging. It would be easy – very easy – to slip into despair or catastrophic thinking. This is where your awareness becomes crucial. Are you seeing clearly? Or are fear and anxiety colouring your perception?
As a spiritual seeker, you know that reality operates on many levels at once. What appears as disruption on the surface can be recalibration at a deeper level. What looks like collapse can be clearing. Trust that there is more unfolding than meets the eye. Look for the deeper meaning. Ask what new timeline is being opened.
Engage your inner saboteur: On a personal level, the Seven of Swords turns the mirror gently but firmly towards you. Where are you deceiving yourself? Not maliciously, but subtly.
Those well-worn thoughts that run beneath awareness: I’m not good enough. I’m not experienced enough. I don’t have the energy. It’s too late. You have an idea and then immediately dismantle it. You feel a spark and then talk yourself out of it. That is self-sabotage dressed up as realism.
This month asks you to catch those narratives in the act. Observe them without judgement. Then question them. Are they true? Or are they inherited scripts that once kept you safe but now keep you small?
Guard your energy: There’s another layer here too. Be mindful of how easily your time and energy are consumed by other people’s demands, dramas, and expectations. Not all influence is malicious. Sometimes it’s simply unconscious. But even loving people can prefer you predictable. Familiar. Unchanged.
If you receive a new insight, a fragile dream, or a flash of inspiration, consider keeping it close for now. Let it root quietly. Feed it with focus and intention before exposing it to external commentary. Not everything needs immediate discussion. Some things require incubation. Tune out the nay-saying voices, both external and internal. Protect what is growing.
Rise above the fog: This may also be a month for stepping back entirely. If confusion swirls around you, rise above it. Take the aerial view. From a higher vantage point, patterns become visible. What felt overwhelming becomes navigable. Detachment is not coldness; it’s clarity.
Ask yourself: If I weren’t caught in the emotional intensity of this moment, what would I see? That question alone can shift everything.
Discernment without paranoia: The Seven of Swords also reminds us that hidden agendas do exist. Deception is real – in the world, in politics, in relationships, and sometimes even in spiritual spaces. But discernment is not the same as suspicion.
Notice how something feels in your body. Does it generate contraction or expansion? Does it evoke fear and dependency, or empowerment and clarity? Trust that wisdom.
Mastery in silence: Rather than reacting outwardly to every development, channel your energy inward. Quietly and steadily, master what you need to master. Develop the skills. Refine the plan. Strengthen your higher mind.
The Seven of Swords can advise careful strategy; not manipulation but intelligent positioning. Move thoughtfully. Act with awareness. Choose your timing, especially before sharing.
You are not alone: I’ve lost count of the times I’ve said this to clients and friends in recent weeks. You are supported. Even when the ground shifts. Even when narratives crumble. Even when your own mind feels unreliable and no one around you seems to understand you.
Connect to Spirit. Ground yourself in the body. Breathe through the heart. There is guidance and hope available beyond the noise of surface thought.
The eclipse – the energy of which can influence the next six months or even year – may redirect you onto an unexpected path. It may not look anything like what you would have consciously chosen. But it may lead you somewhere truer.
Stay alert. Stay discerning. Stay sovereign in your awareness this month. And above all, trust that what is being revealed is clearing the way for something more aligned than before. For you and for the world.
Guidance February/March 2026 from astrology
This Aquarian new moon and solar eclipse squares Uranus, amplifying dramatic change. There’s a feeling that the past can no longer be patched up or carried forward in the same way. You may be asked to release it altogether and open yourself to a radically new understanding of humanity’s relationship with the Earth, and of the individual’s responsibility within the greater whole. Mercury turns retrograde on the 26th, when certainty may have to be seriously re-examined. Pause for a recalibration.
Mars meets the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Pisces on the 2nd March, just before the full moon and lunar eclipse in Virgo on the 3rd. Sensitivities may heighten, particularly within family or community dynamics. If tensions surface, see them as invitations rather than threats. What’s revealed now can soften hardened positions and melt long-held grievances, opening the door to something more compassionate and inclusive.
The necessary creative vision for this development may well become more apparent when Venus conjuncts Saturn and Neptune in Aries on the 6th March.

One of life’s quiet secrets: To witness the suffering in the world and still remain open to joy, peace, and beauty. Cultivate those qualities within yourself first. Imagine if most of humanity lived this way. Perhaps then war would simply be a memory x #Compassion #ChoosePeace
The lunar month begins with the Aquarius New Moon & Solar Eclipse (Feb 17, 12:01pm UK). This cycle invites you to rise above fear - especially self-sabotaging thoughts - and trust the quiet truth of Spirit within. What are you ready to see clearly?
