Week of Feb 16 — 22, 2026

This week carries one of the year's most powerful patterns: a complete lunar reset that mirrors the zodiac itself. Monday opens in Shravana, the star of deep listening, as the Moon makes its final descent toward darkness. By Tuesday, Amavasya arrives in Dhanishta — the star of abundance — and everything goes quiet. This is the seed moment. Whatever intention you hold in that silence will shape the lunar month ahead.

The stillness doesn't last long. Wednesday's Shukla Pratipada marks the first breath of the new cycle, and from there the Moon begins a remarkable journey through the final nakshatras of the zodiac: Shatabhisha (the hundred healers), Purva and Uttara Bhadrapada (the burning and the blessing), and Revati (the nourisher, the last star before the wheel turns). By Sunday, the Moon reaches Ashwini — the very first nakshatra — completing a symbolic death and rebirth in seven days.

You'll feel this as a week of two halves. The first half asks you to be still, to listen, to let things complete. The second half brings momentum, fresh energy, and the sense that something new is possible. Don't rush the transition. The power of this week is in honoring both the ending and the beginning — the exhale and the inhale are one breath.

Late winter Kapha holds everything in a kind of gentle slowness that actually supports this process. Let the heaviness ground you rather than fighting it. Warm foods, warming herbs, and movement that builds heat without scattering energy will carry you through.
