On February 17, 2026, the first major portal between eclipses of the year will open with a new moon in Aquarius, coinciding with an annular solar eclipse. According to astrologer Lourdes Ferro, this event will activate both internal processes and collective dynamics. In Argentina, the maximum phase of the eclipse will occur in the afternoon around 6 PM, offering a unique spectacle to those observing it. The astronomical phenomenon occurs when the Moon positions itself between the Earth and the Sun during a new moon, appearing slightly smaller than the Sun and creating a visible ‘ring’ of light at its peak.

Ferro emphasizes that eclipses act as markers for beginnings and endings, highlighting ongoing processes and prompting tangible actions. This particular portal will be completed on March 3rd with a full moon in Virgo together with a lunar eclipse, which further reinforces the themes initiated during the new moon eclipse. The connections between Aquarius and Leo, as well as Virgo and Pisces, spotlight specific areas of focus, suggesting a significant period for reflection and action for individuals born under these signs.

As the energy portal opens, individuals are encouraged to consider the implications of these cosmic events in their lives, particularly in areas related to innovation, creativity, and inner growth. The eclipse's unfolding will likely drive changes that resonate not just on a personal level but also impact broader societal dynamics, invoking collective responses in various communities across Argentina and beyond. This moment could serve as a catalyst for transformation, pushing people to embrace new beginnings as they navigate the energetic shifts.
