Scorpio Planetary Horoscope for February 17, 2026

Today's New Moon in your home and family sector couldn't come with better timing, for it comes just as an active point in the year for home and family matters is drawing to a close, but while there is still time to maximise this. A New Moon is a chance for new beginnings or a fresh start and with the Sun two days away from leaving, while the solar spotlight is still on home, family and/or property matters. This can also act as a catalyst or trigger, just as moving into his final two weeks here today, Mars is hungry to make things happen and get things done.

Planetary Love

Ahead of the Sun's return to your romantic sector tomorrow, something that at this time each year will always see the solar spotlight shift onto matters of the heart and all things romantic, Venus and Mercury are working their magic. A week after Venus, the planet of love returned to begin what she will be working to make some of the most romantically charged weeks of 2026, a friendly aspect to between Mercury and Jupiter is bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together.

Scorpio Planets

Ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and rebirth, Scorpio is known for its intensity and depth. Pluto gifts Scorpios with a profound understanding of the unseen forces that drive human behavior, making them naturally skilled at navigating life's complexities and intricate relationships.

When the Sun shines in Scorpio, from approximately October 23 to November 21, the sign's inherent qualities of passion, resilience, and insight are supercharged. This period is perfect for diving into deep introspection, embarking on transformative projects, and forging intense emotional connections. The Sun in Scorpio fuels an energy that encourages profound personal growth and the revelation of hidden truths.

Pluto's influence on Scorpio significantly boosts their ability to transform and regenerate. For example, when Pluto aligns with the Sun in Scorpio, it magnifies personal power and the drive for profound change, making it an excellent time to initiate major life transformations. However, a Pluto-Venus square may present challenges in relationships, requiring Scorpios to confront and heal deep-seated emotional issues.

Pluto's transits through different signs also profoundly affect Scorpio. When Pluto transits through Scorpio itself, it heralds a period of intense personal transformation and empowerment. Scorpios may feel a heightened desire to delve into their subconscious, address inner conflicts, and emerge stronger and more self-aware. This transit is ideal for breaking free from old patterns and embracing new, more authentic ways of being.

When Pluto transits through more detached signs like Aquarius or Gemini, Scorpios need to make adjustments. These periods encourage approaching transformation from a more intellectual or social perspective, prompting exploration of new ideas and innovative connections with others. Although these transits might challenge their usual depth, they offer valuable opportunities for expanding horizons and gaining new insights.

Other significant planetary influences for Scorpio include Mars and Neptune. Mars, as the traditional ruler of Scorpio, intensifies their drive and determination, encouraging them to pursue goals with unwavering focus. This aspect fosters a courageous approach to challenges and a proactive stance in achieving personal and professional ambitions. Neptune, with its dreamy and intuitive energy, enhances Scorpios' psychic abilities and creativity, inspiring them to explore their spiritual side and express themselves artistically.
