New Moon in Aquarius (Solar Eclipse)
Date: February 17, 2026
Moon Sign: Aquarius ♒
Ritual Type: Intention-Setting + Energetic Reset
🌑 Astrological Energy of This Moon
This New Moon arrives as a solar eclipse, amplifying its power and ushering in unexpected revelations and long-overdue realignments.
Aquarius energy is futuristic, community-minded, and liberation-focused. It doesn’t follow the rules — it writes new ones.
This is a moon of clarity and innovation. Eclipses shake loose the stagnant, highlighting where we’ve conformed, disconnected from our truth, or become tangled in systems that no longer support our evolution.
🌱 What This New Moon Is Asking of You
A powerful reset under this solar eclipse. The Aquarius New Moon helps you refine your rhythm by cutting through distraction and noise.
This moon supports you in:
Creating new, soul-aligned routines
Detaching from outdated obligations or expectations
Reconnecting with your body’s inner wisdom
Disrupting patterns of busyness or overstimulation
Building a more sustainable and visionary life
Let go of the "shoulds." Aquarius asks, what actually works for you?
🕯️ New Moon Ritual: Clear the Clutter, Craft the Vision
You’ll need:
Candle
Pen and paper
Journal
Small bowl of water
A device or object to unplug from (e.g. phone, charger, calendar)
Step 1: Create a Sacred Signal Cut
Light your candle and place the device/object beside it. Say aloud:
“I choose to unplug from what drains me. I choose rhythm over rush.”
Step 2: Write Your Intentions
On your paper, write 1–3 intentions focused on soul-aligned structure, healthier rhythms, or emotional freedom. Be specific.
Examples:
I commit to checking my emails only at set times.
I create a morning ritual that includes silence.
I say no to social obligations that exhaust me.
Step 3: Fold Inward + Bless
Fold your paper inward (symbolising intention) and hold it over the water bowl. Say:
“These intentions are planted in alignment. May they rise in perfect rhythm.”
Place the folded paper under your candle or in a sacred space until the next full moon.
Optional: Disconnect from your phone or digital calendar for one hour after this ritual. Reclaim your space.
🌀 Journal Prompts
Where am I busy but not aligned?
What does simplicity look like in my current season of life?
💬 Final Reflection
This eclipse offers the reset you’ve been craving — not through force, but through clarity.
This is your permission to unplug, declutter, and begin again… on your terms.
Let the rhythm you build now become the foundation for your future.
