Solar eclipses aren’t subtle, and the one happening on February 17 is especially noticeable because it lands in Aquarius, a sign tied to the ways we separate from the past so we can build something new.
This isn’t a one-day event, either. What starts around the eclipse can unfold over weeks or even months, especially if it hits sensitive points in your chart.
Some signs feel this kind of eclipse more directly than others, not because it’s good or bad, but because it activates pressure points that were already warming up.
Here are the five signs most affected—and what this eclipse is likely asking from you.
1. Aquarius
This eclipse lands in your sign, so yes, you’re at the very center of it.
Solar eclipses in your own sign tend to mark the start of a whole new personal chapter.
Leading up to February 17, you might feel restless, almost like you’ve outgrown something but can’t fully name what yet.
This eclipse is pushing you to redefine yourself on your own terms, not based on who you’ve been for others.
You might notice changes in how people respond to you, or in how visible you feel.
Sometimes eclipses also bring endings, but just as often they bring replacements—a new version of you slowly stepping forward.
Don’t force clarity now. Observe what feels off and what feels oddly right. Set intentions around who you want to become, not what you want to control.
You might feel exposed or unsure under this transit, but there’s renewal at the end and a sense of clearer self-direction.
2. Leo
For you, Leo, this solar eclipse lights up the opposite side of the chart—which means relationships, commitments, and one-to-one dynamics are all in focus.
This isn’t just about romance, though it can show up there. It’s about how you relate, where you compromise, and what balance really looks like now.
Around this eclipse, you may become very aware of imbalances in close relationships.
Some Leos experience relationship resets during eclipses like this—conversations that change the tone, boundaries that finally get drawn, or realizations that something needs to evolve.
Now’s a good time to listen more than you react. Pay attention to patterns instead of single moments. Let clarity arrive naturally.
By harnessing this energy the right way, you can work toward healthier dynamics in your relationships. And not only that, you can learn to let go of control and face uncomfortable truths.
3. Taurus
This eclipse hits the part of your chart tied to career and long-term direction, Taurus.
Right now, even if nothing big happens on the surface, internally you may feel a strong change in how you define success.
You might question whether the path you’re on still fits. Or whether the way you’ve been presenting yourself—professionally or publicly—is actually aligned with who you are now.
This eclipse can bring changes in responsibility for you or even visibility, especially if you’ve been outgrowing your current situation.
It’s not about doing everything now. You’ll just burn out. Focus, instead, on adjusting the trajectory, correcting the ship.
Pay attention to what feels heavy right now. If it’s not meaningful, let it go. You need to make space for new professional ideas, even if they’re not fully ready yet.
You might face the usual hurdles—fear of instability and resistance to change you didn’t initiate, but all this clarity helps you define your long-term growth potential in new, incredible ways.
4. Scorpio
For you, Scorpio, this eclipse goes deep, straight into home, family, emotional security, and the private parts of your life most people never see.
So, you may feel more sensitive than usual around this time, or unusually reflective.
This can be a moment where emotional patterns surface. Your unresolved inner baggage might demand attention.
Sometimes this eclipse coincides with physical changes—moving, redefining what home means, or shifting boundaries with family. It’s uncomfortable but ultimately cleansing.
It’s important to slow down, Scorpio. You need to create emotional safety where you can and let feelings come up without needing to fix them immediately.
For you, this is a chance to nurture clarity, healing, and a stronger inner foundation that will serve you not just for weeks, but months to come.
5. Capricorn
This solar eclipse, Capricorn, finances, resources, and the deeper question of what you believe you deserve come into focus.
This can bring changes in income and it may influence your spending habits, or priorities, but it’s just as much about internal worth as external money.
You might suddenly realize that something you’ve been investing energy in isn’t paying off. Or you may feel pushed toward valuing your time and skills in a different, healthier way..
This eclipse asks you to redefine what stability really means to you now.
Review budgets all you want, yes, but also review boundaries. Ask yourself where you’re underpricing your energy.
You need stronger self-worth now and smarter resource management to help you let go of scarcity thinking and overcome the discomfort around change.
But don’t expect any instant changes. Solar eclipses open doors and close others, but sometimes it only makes sense much, much later.
Watch what begins, what fades, and what feels destined. That’s where the eclipse is working.
