The first solar eclipse of 2026 is scheduled for February 17 and will coincide with the Phalgun Amavasya, occurring shortly after Mahashivratri. Although this eclipse will not be visible in India and therefore does not carry the customary 'suitable timing' or 'sutak' significance, astrological traditions suggest that all twelve zodiac signs will experience some impact from this celestial event. Notably, certain signs may find this period particularly advantageous.

For individuals born under the Aries sign, the eclipse is heralded as a time of progress, suggesting positive developments in their careers. Opportunities could arise for those considering changing jobs, and there is a chance to recover previously stalled finances, indicating an improvement in their economic situation. Furthermore, support from family, especially parental backing, is highlighted as strong during this period, providing a conducive environment for those looking to start new business ventures or seeking promotions and increased responsibilities at work.

Meanwhile, for Leo individuals, this solar eclipse is predicted to enhance self-confidence. This increase in confidence could lead to positive changes in the workplace, empowering them to tackle challenges more effectively. The effects of the eclipse will unfold differently across the zodiac spectrum, with astrologers emphasizing that those whom the eclipse favor may experience an uplifting change in fortune and clarity in their life directions as a result of these celestial alignments.
