Lunar Month of Aquarius 2026: Finally Releasing The Past & Creating The New

February 17 – March 18, 2026

Last month, we got the courage to finally fix or break free from anything from the past keeping us stuck once and for all. We also got the courage to finally create something new and different that is ultimately going to be better for us.

However, it did get a bit crazy, and we needed a break.

Well, this lunar month, we get a second wind with increased motivation, to finally finish this process of breaking free from old things keeping us stuck and pursuing new things we want for our future.

And this second wind is a good one! Relationships and money then begin to adjust out of one thing and into another thing more naturally and easily, as if by magic, totally remaking our lives and revealing a completely new sense of self.

This is a good thing that has been a long time coming. However, so much may be changing so quickly that it could all of a sudden overwhelm us, especially as we begin to realize that life as we once knew it is over.

But instead of taking the time to honor our emotions and re-calibrate, we keep pushing forward trying to actually embrace these new things and move them to the next level — I think because we are so excited.

However, that doesn’t work. We aren’t ready yet to take these different experiences to the next level. We still need time to process all that has happened. We also need time to let the dust settle and to get our situation in a bit of a better order after everything that has shifted.

As a result, we may feel blocked and restricted from expanding on these new things and taking them to the next level. However, this blockage will then force us to realize that we need to slow down, work through our emotions, and get our situation in a better order before moving forward.

That may trigger a lot of emotions, but will helps us to really become more consciously aware of what has shifted and process it better.

Relationships and money divinely change

February 17-24, 2026

We now get more motivation, perhaps unexpectedly, to finish fixing or releasing things from the past that are no longer in alignment with us and create new and different things that are more authentic to us. As a result, relationships and money begin to transition out of old things and into new things — and because this is something we have been trying to do for a while, it feels like it happens easily and naturally, as if by some divine force. These changes feel more solid and permanent than they have been before and leave us with a very different sense of self than what we previously had.

Re-calibrating our identity to a drastically different experience

February 24 – March 3, 2026

Many things are in the process of changing for the better, leaving our life in a bit of flux while it occurs. This transition is going fine with relationships and money. However, all this change all of a sudden becomes overwhelming. It is like too much has changed too fast, and in a way that is too significant. Our life feels completely different. It has thrown us for a loop. We start to feel tired and confused.

Tying up some last details (and getting impatient)

March 3-11, 2026

Our life is becoming very different — for the better! However, it is all too much for us to logically comprehend. Instead of us taking a break to go inwards emotionally to process what has occurred, we don’t! We try to have fun with these new experiences and maybe even try to add onto them to take them to the next level. However, that doesn’t quite work. We aren’t ready for more emotionally. In addition, our situation is a bit disorganized and not easy to work with. We need to take some time to tie up these changes, get them in a better order, and work through our emotions before taking big steps forward into new experiences. That is a bit frustrating and restricting. We don’t want to be doing that. However, we begin to realize by the end of the week, that it is for our best interest — and that slowing down to tie up some loose ends and work through our emotions is the best way.

Third Quarter Moon in Sagittarius

Releasing many old situations once and for all

March 11-18, 2026

Our life continues to change to be very different than what it was before — except instead of pushing and forcing, this week we allow ourselves to finally slow down to rest, process it all, and work through some things. That then brings up a lot of conflicting emotions. However, these emotions then help us a lot to change our perspective on life, get some things in a different order, rest, and really process everything that has just occurred.
