☉ Sun Ingress 2026
Sun Enters Pisces
The season that asks you to feel everything, and trust that feeling is enough
February 18, 2026 · ♓ Pisces Tomorrow
What Sun in Pisces Means
Pisces season begins on February 18, and the world softens. After Aquarius season's electric, cerebral energy, the Sun's entry into the final sign of the zodiac is an invitation to feel rather than think, to surrender rather than strategize. Pisces is the sign of the mystic, the artist, the healer, the dreamer. And for the next four weeks, we're all invited to wade into those waters.
In 2026, Pisces season carries a bittersweet edge. Saturn entered Aries just days earlier on February 14, and Neptune, Pisces' modern ruler, has already moved into Aries as well. The planetary guardians of this sign are leaving, and Pisces season becomes something of a poignant farewell to an era. The Piscean themes of boundless compassion, spiritual longing, and creative dissolution aren't disappearing, but they're being asked to mature, to find new forms, to express themselves through action rather than only through feeling.
This makes Pisces season 2026 an ideal time for closure, for blessing what has been and releasing it with love. Creative projects that have been gestating in the background are ready to be born. Emotional wounds that have been slowly healing may finally close. The dreams you've been carrying, the ones that felt too beautiful or too fragile to speak aloud, deserve to be honored now. Write them down. Paint them. Sing them. Give them form before the fiery energy of Aries season arrives and demands something entirely different from you.
How Sun in Pisces Affects Your Sign
Select your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign for a personalized reading.
Aries
The Sun moves through your 12th house of the subconscious and spiritual retreat. Your annual pre-birthday hibernation. This is sacred time for rest, reflection, and emotional release. Don't push yourself to be productive right now. Instead, clear the inner decks so you're ready for the powerful new beginning Aries season will bring. Your dreams are carrying messages worth writing down.
Taurus
Your 11th house of friendships and future aspirations is illuminated, and social connections deepen on an emotional level. You're drawn to people who share your values, not just your schedule. A friendship could evolve into something more meaningful. Community causes or group creative projects benefit from your steady, devoted energy.
Gemini
Pisces season activates your 10th house of career and public image. Professional matters take on a more intuitive, creative tone. Trust your gut in meetings and negotiations. Your instincts are sharper than your data right now. A career opportunity may emerge through creative or healing industries. Let your professional persona be a little more vulnerable than usual. It makes you more magnetic.
Cancer
Your 9th house of travel, education, and philosophy lights up in the most compatible element for your sign. And this is a deeply nourishing transit. You feel at home in Pisces' emotional waters. Travel near the ocean or to spiritually significant places is especially rewarding. Your worldview is expanding through feeling, not logic.
Leo
The Sun illuminates your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and psychological depth. This is not a surface-level transit. Pisces energy here dissolves the defenses you normally maintain, inviting genuine emotional openness with those you trust. Financial matters involving others may need compassionate negotiation. Let people see the real you, not just the performance.
Virgo
Pisces season lights up your 7th house of partnerships, sitting directly opposite your sign. And the invitation is to soften your standards just enough to let love (or collaboration) actually in. You may be drawn to partners who are creative, spiritual, or emotionally complex. The perfection you seek in others? It exists in their wholeness, not their flawlessness.
Libra
Your 6th house of daily routines and health is activated by the dreamy Pisces Sun. Strict schedules may feel suffocating right now. And that's the point. Introduce more flow into your day. Gentle exercise like swimming, yoga, or long walks near water is especially beneficial. Health improvements come through rest and intuition, not rigid discipline.
Scorpio
Pisces season illuminates your 5th house of creativity, romance, and pleasure. And as a fellow water sign, you thrive in this energy. Creative inspiration flows effortlessly. Romantic connections feel deep and soulful. If you have children, this is a beautiful period for bonding. Let yourself experience joy without analyzing it. Not everything beautiful needs to be understood.
Sagittarius
The Sun moves through your 4th house of home, family, and emotional foundations. You may feel an unusual pull toward domestic life: cooking, nesting, reconnecting with family. Emotional memories from childhood could surface for healing. Your home is your sanctuary right now. Make it beautiful, make it peaceful, and let yourself be still within it.
Capricorn
Your 3rd house of communication takes on a softer, more poetic quality. Conversations become deeper and more meaningful. You may find yourself expressing emotions that usually stay locked away. Writing, especially journaling or creative writing, is a powerful outlet now. A sibling or close friend may need your compassionate ear.
Aquarius
Pisces season shifts the focus to your 2nd house of income and self-worth, and the analytical approach to money gives way to something more intuitive. Trust your feelings about financial decisions. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't, regardless of what the numbers say. This is also a time to reflect on what you truly value, not just in material terms.
Pisces
This is your season. And in 2026, it carries a special depth. With Neptune having just entered Aries and Saturn following close behind, you're stepping into a version of yourself that's more grounded, more courageous, and more willing to act on your dreams rather than only feeling them. Use your birthday season to set intentions that bridge the world of imagination and the world of action. You are the bridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Pisces season start in 2026?
Pisces season begins around February 18, 2026, when the Sun enters Pisces. It lasts about 30 days until the Spring Equinox in late March. As the final sign of the zodiac year, Pisces season is a time for reflection and closure, the last exhale before the astrological new year begins with Aries.
What does the Sun in Pisces mean in astrology?
The Sun in Pisces brings heightened intuition, creativity, and emotional sensitivity. The boundaries between the material and spiritual worlds feel thinner. People often experience increased empathy, vivid dreams, and a desire to connect with something larger than themselves. It's a time when logic takes a back seat, and the heart takes the wheel.
Why do I feel more emotional during Pisces season?
Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune, the planet of dissolution and empathy. During Pisces season, emotional boundaries become more permeable, making it easier to pick up on others' feelings and harder to maintain strict rational detachment. This increased sensitivity can be draining, but it also opens extraordinary doorways to compassion and artistic expression.
What should I avoid during Pisces season?
Pisces season can blur the edges of reality, making it easier to slip into escapism, denial, or seeing situations through rose-colored glasses. Be cautious about making major decisions without clear facts, and watch for tendencies to over-give in relationships or reach for unhealthy coping mechanisms when emotions run high.
How can I make the most of Pisces season?
This is the season for creative projects, spiritual practices, and anything that feeds your soul. Pisces season is extraordinary for meditation, art-making, music, and spending time near water. It's also ideal for forgiveness work: releasing what no longer serves you and preparing emotionally for the fresh start that Aries season brings.
