Tarot Horoscope for February 16-22: Cosmic Shifts

What does the upcoming week hold for you? Dive into your tarot horoscope reading for February 16 to February 22, 2026, as we navigate a cosmically busy period. This week brings the aftermath of Valentine's Day, a New Moon in Aquarius, a solar eclipse, and the start of Pisces season, marking the finale of the astrological year.

Your mind may be working overtime to process these shifts, so let's use tarot to uncover what is ending and what is beginning in this pivotal week.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Tarot Card: Seven of Swords

Meaning: This week signals the end of innocence regarding a person or situation you hoped would treat you well, but deep down, you're realizing it won't. Don't panic—this is positive. Once you see the situation clearly, you'll understand your designated role and know it's not for you. Step back and redirect your high-vibration energy into more aligned pursuits that bring deserved rewards. Transfer your power consciously and deliberately.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21)

Tarot Card: Knight of Cups

Meaning: One romantic or deep friendship connection withers, while another takes root and grows visibly. Don't linger where affections aren't fully reciprocated. As a Venus-ruled sign, you're too loving to waste energy on dead-end relationships. Know your worth, needs, and deal-breakers. If it's a flawed romantic bond, move back; others are eager to know you. For friendships, invest in a different circle temporarily and observe the results.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

Tarot Card: King of Wands

Meaning: One wild adventure ends, and another begins. With many projects ongoing, you're unfazed by a goal's decline, as it makes room for new ones. A goal may end due to completion or loss of relevance. Adapt, flex, and pivot toward a new adventure linked to travel, creativity, education, or lifestyle. Tune in, take charge, draft a plan, and take a first step this week—one in, one out.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

Tarot Card: The Hanged Man

Meaning: A major blockage finally moves out of your way. The key is to stop forcing things and even avoid looking at it. Distract yourself, and magically, you'll care less and think differently, allowing change without your focused attention. The limbo and stagnation are over, so get ready to leap into action and make up for lost time and energy.

Leo (July 24 - August 23)

Tarot Card: Eight of Cups

Meaning: You're ready to admit defeat and pull out of something that hasn't panned out. Your pride may be slightly dented, but enough is enough. Admitting you're wrong takes guts, and the Universe agrees. Once you cut off this dead wood, you'll feel relief and liberation, attracting new opportunities, invitations, and attractions. End the week glowing on a high vibration—chop and change.

Virgo (August 24 - September 23)

Tarot Card: Five of Cups

Meaning: A period of mourning, grieving, or regretting comes to a close, bringing peace and acceptance. You've changed, processed, and accepted what happened, possibly from long ago. Now, optimism, faith, and self-belief renew. You've endured hardship, survived, and thrived, feeling stronger and wiser. Get busy living and test your new capabilities.

Libra (September 24 - October 23)

Tarot Card: Eight of Wands

Meaning: A social circle or connection that provided events, gossip, and opportunity is withering. You sense shifts in mood and attention. Recognize that relationships have seasons, and many don't last beyond them. Look for a new circle, person, activity, or hobby. Within two months, you'll be happily embroiled in a new group, feeling wanted and rewarded—accept nothing less.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

Tarot Card: The Lovers

Meaning: This card often signals a love triangle, temptation, or distraction from the straight and narrow. This week, you might act on an impulse to see if a new option is better than your current situation, in relationships, work, family, home, or money. Be mindful of consequences, act with fairness and integrity, and consider refreshing within current parameters rather than escaping.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)

Tarot Card: Page of Cups

Meaning: A fledgling friendship, flirtation, project, or creative idea moves from fantasy to reality. Stop wondering and start finding out if it stands up to pressure. As a unique character, you manifest ideas with flair and style, moving effortlessly from mental to physical realms. Start this new endeavor enthusiastically and breathe life into your imaginings.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 21)

Tarot Card: Two of Coins

Meaning: The end of a dry spell or fallow period—abundance is back! Stop worrying about lack and welcome what's in your vicinity. Be open-hearted and expansive, say yes, and watch as new invitations and opportunities come your way. This week is for building, prospering, and achieving—say yes to life.

Aquarius (January 22 - February 19)

Tarot Card: Queen of Coins

Meaning: You're pivoting from apprentice to master, stepping up to take responsibility. This might manifest as a promotion, new role, or shift in relationships or home dynamics. It's like moving into adult mode after childhood, empowering you to use newfound confidence and accountability. Make shrewd decisions and show what you can achieve in charge.

Pisces (February 20 - March 20)

Tarot Card: Two of Cups

Meaning: The end of singledom, isolation, or estrangement—you're back in business. This card signifies falling in love, healing rifts, and creating lasting bonds. Enjoy a romantic Valentine's aftermath, lean into love, and revel in Cupid's afterglow. This could be your best post-Valentine's period yet.
