Astrology for Healers and Therapists – February 2026
Before I look at this month’s charts I must point out that the interpretation is mainly for therapists dealing with problematic situations. That is why I seem to emphasise the problem or negative side of life rather than the positive. Of course the charts indicate a general situation but the leaning must be for those clients or patients who are struggling in some way.
First do please note that the following is using the WESTERN FOUR ELEMENT system based in western magical and astrological understanding. The individual therapist must make the translation to the Eastern Five Element system that is usual in Shiatsu and Acupuncture theory. If you have forgotten the explanation about Elemental and Modal make up then do refresh your memory by looking back at the Introduction to Astrology for Healers and Therapists.
I look at the charts for the Sundays in February when the Sun is nearing the mid heaven for that day. Obviously this is for Haye Mill, so you will have to accept the approximation for your own geographical position but the interpretation should not vary too much from this one. It is a way of following the general trends throughout the month. Notice there are 4 Sundays in this month once again.
Last month was a month of frustration but ultimate progress as people gradually understood that they could ‘go with the flow’ and still take responsibility for their progress or growth. Sounds optimistic!
The week beginning the 1st February
Neptune has moved into Aries, whilst the bundle of 5 ‘planets’ has opened up a bit, losing intensity. The line of ease between these two features has disappeared, and Jupiter is still unaspected. The Moon is in temporary opposition to the bundle at the weekend.
Mutable has lost a sign to Fixed, whilst Fire has gained a sign from Water.
Cardinal 2 – Fixed 7 – Mutable 1
Fire 2 – Earth 1 – Air 5 – Water 2
Optimism has fled overnight, leaving a profound tension of ‘Let’s wait and see’. Lots of words but now very little action.
Counsellors – There will be very little movement with Clients this week. Don’t despair.
Healers – Whatever you do seems to have little or no effect. This would be an ideal time to go on holiday.
The week beginning 8th February
Mercury has moved into Pisces, and the bundle is beginning to break up as Pluto has left that group. Uranus is no longer retrograde.
Mutable has gained a sign from Fixed, whilst Fire and Air have lost a sign each to Water.
Cardinal 2 – Fixed 6 – Mutable 2
Fire 1 – Earth 1 – Air 4 – Water 4
People are beginning to lose patience or becoming disillusioned with their new found philosophy. There is a need to do something, but what that something is alludes them.
Counsellors – Still not much movement or progress, although there is a growing urge to do so.
Healers – This is a much more positive scenario. There may be little therapy that works but at least patients are ready to give it a go.
The week beginning 15th February
Venus has joined Mercury in Pisces. Jupiter has come in from the cold by forming a line of ease with Mercury. Saturn has moved into Aries, whilst the bundle has opened up completely. Pluto has enabled a trine to form between the Neptune/Saturn conjunction, Uranus and Pluto/Moon.
Cardinal has gained a sign from Fixed, whilst Fire has gained a sign from Water.
Cardinal 3 – Fixed 5 – Mutable 2
Fire 2 – Earth 1 – Air 4 – Water 3
Action at last. It will be sudden and ill thought out with a possible backlash to boot, but at the time it will be considered a positive step.
Counsellors – Now is your chance to challenge and expect movement. Don’t be afraid to take the initiative this week.
Healers – It might still be more a ‘thought experiment’ than actual healing, but prognosis is far more optimistic as the week progresses.
The week beginning 22nd February
The Sun has moved into Pisces, and the trine has broken as Uranus no longer has a line of ease with Pluto. Uranus now challenges Mars, but Jupiter has formed a line of ease with Venus.
Mutable has gained another sign from Fixed, whilst Air has lost two signs, one to Earth and the other to Water.
Cardinal 3 – Fixed 4 – Mutable 3
Fire 2 – Earth 2 – Air 2 – Water 4
There is far less rational thinking as emotions rule the day. ‘Where there is a will there is a way’ may be the motto of the week. ‘Look deeper and wider’ could be another.
Counsellors – Don’t let up. You can and should make a difference.
Healers – The whole situation is more balanced than it has been for a long time. It is up to you to see positive ways forward.
From highs to lows and back again, again.
