The Ring of Fire
Annular Solar Eclipse on February 17th
February 16th, 2026
On February 17, 2026, we meet a rare and powerful eclipse: a Ring of Fire eclipse, coinciding with the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse.
The Ring of Fire is different from other solar eclipses. The Sun is not fully eclipsed, it becomes a luminous circle of fire in the sky.
A boundary of fire.
A Fire Gate.
This eclipse marks the full arrival of the Fire Horse energy.
From February 4th, the new solar year has been loading. On February 17th, the Fire Horse frequency becomes fully embodied, felt, and activated.
In The Ring of Fire eclipse, the Sun is not eclipsed, it is contained. When the Fire Element is contained, it is not destructive. It becomes clear guidance, direction, and correction.
The Ring of Fire eclipse in Aquarius, with both Neptune and Saturn in Aries puts the spotlight on 2 major themes: identity and direction.
It burns old identities and activates courage and movement.
-
You may start to notice what no longer aligns with who you are becoming.
-
You may gain clarity on the new identity that has been emerging.
-
You may encounter conversations, situations, or decisions that crystallize this shift.
-
You may begin taking action aligned with who you truly are now.
The ring represents wholeness. The Fire Elements represents visibility. The Ring of Fire is an energetic portal.
If you are a woman leader or a women entrepreneur, this eclipse is an initiation into sovereign visibility.
The Ring of Fire eclipse is about regulated, grounded fire. And power that moves through the body, heart, and nervous system with coherence. Not with impulsiveness.
How to work with this powerful energy.
Ask yourself:
-
Where have I dimmed my light to stay safe?
-
What needs to be reevaluated and corrected?
-
Where is my fire calling me forward?
-
Where does my desire want to become direction?
-
What am I willing to illuminate and embody?
