February To April 2026: The Time Of Truth For Two Zodiac Signs

Do you know that feeling when something stirs deep inside you?

When familiar patterns suddenly no longer fit and you sense that change is in the air?

That’s exactly what awaits us between February and April 2026. These months will be a time of clarity, in which life itself makes the decisions for us – or pushes us until we finally find the courage to make them ourselves.

I can already feel it when I look at the stars. There’s an energy building up, a cosmic impatience that no longer tolerates half measures. And while all the zodiac signs will feel this intensity, two of them will be the focus of planetary attention in particular.

Why these two in particular? Because they possess the emotional depth that is needed right now. Because they understand what it means to feel, to experience, to transform. But also because they sometimes endure for too long what should have ended long ago.

Why these months will change everything

Imagine the universe had a clock. And this clock doesn’t show hours or minutes, but life cycles. Between February and April 2026, this clock strikes midnight – and heralds a completely new era.

On February 20, 2026, something extraordinary will happen: Saturn and Neptune will meet at 0 degrees Aries. That might sound technical, but let me explain what it means. These two planets only meet every 35 to 36 years, and the fact that they do so at the very first degree of the zodiac—the point of absolute new beginnings—only happens every few centuries.

Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, meets Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions. And they meet in Aries, the zodiac sign of new beginnings and independence.

This means that what we have dreamed of in recent years is now becoming reality. But only if we are prepared to take responsibility for it.

Furthermore, Mercury will be retrograde in Pisces from February 25th to March 20th. This intensifies the emotional depth of this period even more. Old issues resurface. Unspoken feelings push their way to the surface.

And on March 3rd we have a total lunar eclipse in Virgo, which acts like a spotlight and reveals truths that we might have preferred to overlook.

All of this together creates a time when escape becomes impossible. A time when life itself poses the question: “Who do you really want to be?”

Cancer zodiac sign: When security needs to be reinvented

Dear Cancer, I know how much you love security. You’re the sign that can make a home out of anything – people, places, habits. Your heart is big and your caring nature boundless. But this is precisely where the period between February and April 2026 comes into play: your relationship with security.

You’ll notice that something isn’t right anymore. It might start as early as the beginning of February with a strange unease. Situations that used to give you support suddenly feel confining. People you’ve cared for for years seem distant or ungrateful. The workplace that offered you emotional security loses its magic.

This is not a sign that you have failed. It is a sign that you have grown.

When old protective mechanisms crumble

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20th will affect you particularly as a Cancer because it forms a square aspect to your zodiac sign. This means your usual ways of protecting yourself will be challenged. The emotional armor you’ve built up over years will become more permeable.

Perhaps you notice that you’re withdrawing, even though you actually need closeness. Or that you react oversensitively when others don’t feel the same way you do.

You might even realize for the first time how much energy you spend trying to please others – and how little you think about yourself.

This phase doesn’t feel pleasant, I admit. You might feel emotionally exposed. But that’s precisely the point: true security doesn’t come from armor, but from self-confidence.

The decision that will change your life

Between mid-February and the end of March – while Mercury is retrograde in Pisces – you will face a decision you have been putting off for a long time. It concerns something fundamental:

Perhaps it’s about a relationship that has become more habit than love. You realize you’re shrinking yourself just to avoid conflict. That you give and give, but never truly receive.

Or it could be about where you live. You live somewhere because it’s safe, because your family is nearby, because it’s always been that way. But your heart longs for a place that truly suits you.

Perhaps it’s also about your job. You work somewhere because it offers emotional security, but your soul is slowly dying in the process. You realize that you’re treating your sensitivity as a weakness instead of seeing it as a gift.

The lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd illuminates these issues with merciless clarity. It shows you: You can no longer pretend to be content when you are not.

What will change after your decision

If you find the courage to make an honest decision between February and April 2026, you will discover something wonderful: True security comes from within.

You will learn to see your feelings not as a burden, but as a compass. You will be able to set boundaries without becoming cold. And you will form relationships in which you can both give AND receive.

After April 2026, you’ll still be the caring, intuitive Cancer you’ve always been. But you’ll also be someone who takes themselves seriously. Someone who knows: I don’t deserve love because I’m perfect, but because I am.

Scorpio zodiac sign: When letting go of control becomes your greatest power

Dear Scorpio, you know a thing or two about intensity. You understand what it means to delve deep, to analyze, to transform. You are the alchemist among the zodiac signs, the one who can turn pain into gold. But this very ability will be put to a completely new test between February and April 2026.

Time will not feel gentle to you. It will feel like a whirlpool, pulling you into areas you might have preferred to control. But therein lies the greatest lesson: sometimes we must let go of control to become truly powerful.

When the truth can no longer be suppressed

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries forms a challenging quincunx (150-degree aspect) with your Scorpio sun sign. This means you will be confronted with situations that don’t fit into your usual thought patterns. Things you thought you understood will turn out to be illusions.

You are a master at digging beneath the surface. You recognize lies before they are spoken. You sense weaknesses and dependencies in others. But now the universe is urging you to turn that sharp gaze inward.

Perhaps you realize that you’re clinging to someone not out of love, but out of fear of the unknown. That you’re exerting power because you feel powerless inside. Or that you’re withdrawing emotionally to avoid getting hurt—and in doing so, sabotaging the very closeness you crave.

The lunar eclipse on March 3rd in Virgo forms a harmonious trine with your zodiac sign. It’s like a gift: it shows you not only the problems, but also the solutions.

The transformation that changes everything

Between the end of February and the beginning of April, you will be faced with a profound decision. It’s not about superficialities. It’s about your innermost foundation, about how you experience relationships and define power.

Perhaps you’ll realize that an intense connection, which seems to strengthen you, is actually draining you. That you’re trapped in an emotional power struggle where no one wins.

Or you realize that you’re isolating yourself out of fear of betrayal or disappointment. That you’d rather be strong alone than vulnerable with others.

It could also be that you realize: You’re trying to transform others instead of changing yourself. You believe you can “save” someone, but in doing so, you lose yourself.

The universe presents you with a clear choice: continue fighting – or finally trust.

The new kind of strength

When you decide to let go, you experience something that few can experience as profoundly as you: true inner renewal. You suddenly understand: True power lies not in controlling others, but in clarity about yourself.

After April 2026, you will still be the intense, profound Scorpio. But you will also be someone who recognizes their vulnerability as a strength. Someone who no longer needs to change others to feel safe. Your presence alone is enough.

You will form relationships based on equality. You will be able to share your emotional depths without fear of abuse. And you will realize: The greatest transformation comes from within.

Why Cancer and Scorpio are particularly relevant right now

You might be wondering why these two zodiac signs are so strongly affected? The answer lies in their shared characteristic: Both are water signs, both feel deeply, and both have a natural tendency to endure what would have long since become too much for others.

Cancer endures because he hopes others will change. Scorpio endures because he believes he can transform everything. But this is precisely where 2026 comes in, saying: “Enough enduring. Time for conscious decisions.”

The astrological events between February and April act as an amplifier for everything that has long been simmering within these two signs. Saturn brings reality into play, Neptune the dreams, and Aries the power to act. The result? A time in which honesty becomes unavoidable.

How all other zodiac signs can use this time

Although Cancer and Scorpio are particularly affected, all zodiac signs feel the intensity of these months. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries sends ripples throughout the entire zodiac.

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): You feel the energy directly. Use it for new beginnings, but beware of impulsiveness.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): For you, it’s about practical changes. Old systems need to be renewed.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Your communication and relationships are in focus. Time for honest conversations.

The other water sign, Pisces: You swim in the same emotional current as Cancer and Scorpio, but for you it’s more about spiritual clarity.

My advice for this transformative time

Regardless of your zodiac sign, these months have a collective effect. They call upon us all to live more honestly.

Listen to your unease. It’s not a problem, it’s a guide. If something’s wrong, it’s wrong. Period.

Make decisions based on truth, not fear. Don’t ask yourself, “What could happen?”, but rather, “What feels right?”

Allow yourself to grow. This also means letting go of people and situations that don’t want to or can’t grow with you.

Trust that the universe only presents you with choices you can make, even if it sometimes feels otherwise.

The months of February to April 2026 are not a time for half measures. They are a time for clarity, for courage, for trust in one’s own truth.

The gift of this challenging time

I know that change can be frightening, especially when it’s as profound as the change we can expect between February and April 2026. But I ask you to also see the gift that lies within this time.

When was the last time you made a decision that truly changed something? A decision that made you wake up and think, “Yes, this is what my life is supposed to feel like”?

This is precisely the opportunity that is now available to you. The universe is clearing the way for what truly belongs to you. It is untying the knots in your life and making room for new, healthier connections.

For the zodiac signs Cancer and Scorpio, this time will be a turning point, after which nothing will be the same. But that’s a good thing. Because what comes next will be more authentic, fulfilling, and true than anything they let go of.

Looking ahead

As April 2026 draws to a close, something fundamental will have shifted. Not just for Cancer and Scorpio, but for all of us. We will have learned that security doesn’t mean everything stays the same, but that we can trust ourselves, no matter what.

We will have come to understand that true strength lies not in control, but in the willingness to surrender to the flow of life without losing ourselves in the process.

And we will have realized that the most difficult decisions often lead to the most beautiful changes.

February to April 2026 – a time of truth. A time of clarity. A time when life itself sets the course for everything that follows.
