Taurus February 2026

Major career news in mid-February! And it’s courage-time. It’s about the new, embracing what’s different over sticking with what you have. This brings extraordinary success, especially February 17: a Solar Eclipse New Moon in your career house! It’s more about the work and prestige than money this time round. (Absolutely nothing going on in your financial second and eighth houses.) You have more than enough, however, so that when your ruler luscious ruler Venus enters your humanitarian house February 10, it crowns you a philanthropist and gives an added kick to anything charitable you do. You’ll be most known for the good you give.

A project that’s been stalling will now able to go forward – with golden results – thanks to a wealth of planets in this public (tenth) house.

You have in here:

The energy and intention of the awesome Sun

Powerful and sexy Mars

Your inner flame, the asteroid Vesta

Transformative Pluto

The beauty and charm of your ruler Venus (until February 10)

The brilliant communication and thought of Mercury (until February 6)

A revolutionary Aquarius Solar Eclipse New Moon on February 17

These are awesomely positive forces blessing your tenth house traditionally ruled by achieving Capricorn and cover these areas of your life:

Your career

Your life path

Your reputation

Professional recognition, acclaim

What You Are Known As

Your image

Claiming your talents

Your ambition

Promotions

Honor, rank, and credit

What you are striving to be like

What you are aiming toward

People with power over you — bosses, corporations, etc.

Your attitude toward authority figures

Your sense of responsibility

And OFTEN — your MOTHER

A disagreement must be worked out with a partner. The answer? Fill your heart with love, Taurus. Know that you are loved. Do not act from fear nor from your bruised ego.

The only problem is…it’s very important that I’m honest with you, Taurus. Security matters, yes it does. But how long is a situation an abusive situation?

You must ponder this now as you ponder your future.

Remember, all our edgy and greatest thinkers were born Taurus: Shakespeare, Freud, Dante, Marx, Saint Francis of Assisi, Chief Seattle, Chomsky – the list goes on…

At the same time, this February your career and reputation take off like a skyrocket.

It is an intensely creative time.

You can afford to spend some time alone now. Create behind the scenes. Your good career luck will happen with the new Moon in Aquarius around February 17.

You’re not going to miss your luck. I would expect a lucky break – or two!

Your planet Venus rules love and good looks, and as February gets underway you get the wings to fly with them again. (They’re always there; you’ve just been too distracted to enjoy them.)

The only negative? Obligations may feel like sacrifices. (You give a lot to keep the peace.) Early February, you may have to apologize. But…

Watch for a heavenly invitation to appear. New ideas and creations also have a funny way of popping up then. You’re being called to participate in the world more, to perform more, and to show your love more truthfully. Love connections are already revealing good promise of this. The long chill some Bulls have felt for and from some loved ones is finally lifting.

You have lost some friends, and you have had some harsh criticisms of you. You have also had it hard generally. Saturn doesn’t mess around and has a particular way of slamming you with hard realities when you are busy daydreaming about your future, perfect life.

Your safety lies in public recognition, Taurus, so concentrate on your career now, and leave personal drama behind. Especially about property matters or what’s going on at home. Explore outside the house and, after January 31, especially explore your path to fame.

You’ve felt a tornado of pressure there – you might say there was an underlying feeling of disappointment that you’re not done sorting it all out – but the possibilities are endless! Go, Taurus, go!

One part of you wants to jump off into the deep blue unknown; another part of you wants to stay with the tried and true.

Your career is due for a fabulous rise, so please get going.

I know you hate to be pushed and I do apologize, dear Bull. It’s just that you make everything so much easier with foresight and good planning. You are the genius of planning ahead.

One of your gifts is the real joy you get from satisfying your to-do list. Whereas other signs don’t look far enough ahead to see consequences, YOU DO. Although you’re yearning for freedom from LOTS of friends right now — well, we’re being honest here, aren’t we? — just little, tiny communiqués will give you the freedom you need.

Which you haven’t had so much of recently. This is why this month will be a turning point in your life. If you ALLOW it to be. Just work on getting things done and follow up with your exercise and diet. Go back to old habits if they suit you.

Which leads me right into talking about the asteroid Ceres, currently trying to do its loving thing in your twelfth house of healing.

Ceres is all about nurturing – the nurturing you got when you were young, and the nurturing you give yourself now as an adult. Some of you didn’t receive very good training, and this month we look at how to make it better.

Even when you do well later in life, or have done well, it is hard for you to LET yourself do well. Or to believe it. If you lacked nurturing in a certain area, it’s harder to go forth to do it yourself later, when grownup.

It’s only challenging to learn new nurturing habits and behaviors – but it’s not impossible. It’s like anything else – you just need to do it DIFFERENTLY.

After this: No more the bitter waste of time you’ve been feeling in this area. You move on, happily, successfully – and much, much stronger.

Wan February with weeping cheer,
Whose cold hand guides the youngling year
Down misty roads of mire and rime,
Before thy pale and fitful face
The shrill wind shifts the clouds apace
Through skies the morning scarce may climb.
Thine eyes are thick with heavy tears,
But lit with hopes that light the year’s. – February by Mother Goose
