February 17, 2026 Solar Eclipse - World Events Analysis (48 Countries)
Eclipse Date: February 17, 2026 at 12:11:53 UTC Eclipse Position: 28° 50' Parjanya (28.84° tropical Aquarius) Saros Series: 121 (Member #61 of 71) Analysis Date: January 2026 Method: Swiss Ephemeris calculations with whole-sign house system Countries Analyzed: 48
Executive Summary
This report analyzes the February 17, 2026 solar eclipse from the perspective of 48 major world capitals, focusing on nations with geopolitical significance, current conflicts, or potential flashpoints. The analysis uses the Aditya Zodiac system and evaluates house placements and planetary interchanges (Parivartana yoga).
Key Finding: Geographic Risk Distribution
A remarkable 46% of analyzed nations (22 of 48) have the eclipse falling in their 8th house with a dangerous 1st-8th house interchange, marking them as high-risk zones for significant transformation or crisis. This includes almost all of Europe from UK to Ukraine, the entire Middle East conflict zone, plus Greece, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Belarus, Moldova, Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Madagascar.
Sun-Jupiter Interchange (Universal Pattern)
This eclipse creates a universal Sun-Jupiter interchange (Parivartana yoga) visible from every location on Earth:
- Sun is in Parjanya (Jupiter's sign) at 28°50'
- Jupiter is in Indra (Sun's sign) at 18°44'
This mutual exchange links the eclipse energy to Jupiter's expansive, philosophical nature — but its effect varies by house placement.
Interchange Severity by House
| Severity | Houses Involved | Count | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAD | 1st ↔ 8th | 23 | 8th house transformation themes infect national identity (1st) |
| MODERATE_BAD | 7th ↔ 12th, 5th ↔ 12th | 9 | 12th house losses affect partnerships/creativity |
| LESS_BAD | 6th ↔ 11th, 1st ↔ 6th | 9 | 6th house conflict themes spread to gains/identity |
| None | Non-dusthana pairs | 7 | Interchange exists but no dusthana involvement |
Risk Level Classification
Risk Assessment Criteria
| Risk Level | Criteria | Interchange |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Eclipse in 8th house | 1-8 BAD interchange |
| HIGH | Eclipse in dusthana (6th, 7th, 12th) | MODERATE or LESS_BAD interchange |
| MODERATE | Eclipse in neutral house | No dusthana interchange |
CRITICAL RISK Nations (22 Countries)
These nations share the most volatile eclipse configuration: Indra Rising with eclipse in the 8th house and a dangerous Sun-Jupiter interchange linking the 1st and 8th houses.

What This Configuration Means
The 8th house represents:
- Transformation and endings
- Hidden matters coming to light
- Inheritance and shared resources
- Crises and emergencies
- Death/rebirth cycles
The 1st-8th interchange (Sun in Jupiter's sign, Jupiter in Sun's sign) creates:
- Direct link between national identity (1st) and crisis/transformation (8th)
- Leadership exposed to existential challenges
- Potential for dramatic governmental changes
- High-stakes situations demanding transformation
HIGH RISK Nations (15 Countries)
These nations have challenging configurations involving dusthana houses (6th, 7th, 12th) but without the critical 8th house placement.

Regional Analysis
Europe: Critical Zone
The critical zone extends from the UK to Moldova, covering NATO's eastern flank. Belarus (not in NATO) also shares this pattern, creating a potential flashpoint zone along the entire European east.
Middle East & North Africa: Crisis Zone
The Red Sea corridor (Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan) forms a continuous critical-risk band. This region is already experiencing tensions related to shipping, civil conflicts, and regional power struggles.
Asia-Pacific: Three-Tier Risk Pattern
Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam) joins China in the 6th house pattern - all face internal conflicts or external adversary pressures. The India-Pakistan-Afghanistan corridor shares 7th house emphasis. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Philippines share 5th house - political change without crisis.
Americas: Divided Pattern
North America (USA) and the Andean region (Colombia, Venezuela) face 12th house challenges. South America's giants (Argentina, Brazil) have 11th house - potentially more favorable for alliances and economic gains.

Mars Combust - Amplified Intensity
Mars is closely conjunct the Sun during this eclipse (within 1°), making this a particularly intense eclipse. Mars adds:
- Aggression and conflict potential
- Military tensions
- Sudden, forceful events
- Engineering/technical crises
Conclusion
This 48-country analysis reveals several significant patterns:
- Europe's eastern flank is unified in risk: From UK to Moldova, including Greece and Serbia, shares the critical configuration
- Africa joins the critical zone: Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Madagascar extend the danger zone to the Red Sea, Horn of Africa, and Indian Ocean
- Southeast Asia forms a conflict belt: China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh all face 6th house challenges
- South Asia remains diplomatically stressed: India-Pakistan-Afghanistan-Nepal-Iran corridor unified in 7th house focus
- Americas divided: North (12th house losses) vs South (11th house gains potential)
- Pacific nations more stable: Australia (4th house) shows domestic focus without major crisis indicators
77% of analyzed nations (37 of 48) have the eclipse in dusthana houses (6th, 7th, 8th, 12th), indicating widespread challenging conditions globally. Only 11 nations have more favorable placements.

Comparison: Eclipse vs Lunar New Year 2026
The solar eclipse and Lunar New Year 2026 occur on the same day, only ~10 minutes apart:
- Solar Eclipse: February 17, 2026 at 12:11:53 UTC
- Lunar New Year: February 17, 2026 at 12:01:10 UTC
This proximity allows us to compare both charts to assess whether some countries might be less affected by the eclipse due to a more favorable configuration in their Lunar New Year chart.
Comparison Summary
| Metric | Count |
|---|---|
| Same Ascendant | 43 |
| Different Ascendant | 5 |
| Total Countries | 48 |
This Eclipse vs Lunar New Year comparison was not the primary focus of this analysis. It is possible that more countries have different ascendants that have not yet been identified. A more thorough check will be conducted later to complete this data.
For the 43 countries with the same ascendant, a separate analysis is not necessary as their configurations are similar to those of the eclipse.
Countries with Different Ascendants
| Country | Eclipse Asc. | LNY Asc. | Worse Chart |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA | Dhata | Parjanya | Eclipse |
| France | Indra | Varuna | Eclipse |
| Argentina | Aryama | Dhata | LNY |
| Taiwan | Vishnu | Tvasta | Eclipse |
| Philippines | Vishnu | Tvasta | Eclipse |
Detailed Analysis
France (Indra → Varuna)
| Event | Problematic Interchange |
|---|---|
| Eclipse | ❌ BAD: Sun-Jupiter (8th-1st) |
| LNY | ✅ None |
France may suffer less from the eclipse effects because its Lunar New Year chart does not have the difficult Parivartana interchange 8th-1st house. The Lunar New Year is "clean" with no problematic configurations, which could mitigate the overall impact of 2026.
USA (Dhata → Parjanya)
| Event | Problematic Interchange |
|---|---|
| Eclipse | ⚠️ MODERATE: Sun-Jupiter (12th-5th) |
| LNY | ⚡ LESS BAD: Sun-Jupiter (1st-6th) |
The eclipse places the Sun in the 12th house (losses, isolation), while the LNY places it in the 1st (identity, leadership).
Argentina (Aryama → Dhata)
| Event | Problematic Interchange |
|---|---|
| Eclipse | ✅ None |
| LNY | ⚠️ MODERATE: Sun-Jupiter (12th-5th) |
Reversed situation - the eclipse is clean, but the LNY has the 12th house interchange.
Taiwan & Philippines (Vishnu → Tvasta)
| Event | Shame Avastha | Interchange |
|---|---|---|
| Eclipse | ⚠️ 5th House: Moon + Mars shamed by Sun | None |
| LNY | None | ⚡ LESS BAD: 6th-11th |
The eclipse has Shame Avastha - the Sun shaming Moon and Mars in the 5th house (children, creativity severely afflicted).
Comparison Conclusion
4 out of 5 countries with different ascendants have worse indications in the Eclipse chart compared to the Lunar New Year. Only Argentina has a better configuration for the eclipse.
This suggests that for the majority of analyzed countries, the eclipse represents the main challenge of 2026, but some countries like France could see their difficulties mitigated by a more favorable Lunar New Year chart.

Summary of Ernst Wilhelm's Video
The summary below is based on an AI-generated transcript. To confirm the author's exact intent, please watch the original video.
Exceptional Convergence
February 17, 2026 is significant because two major cycles converge within ~10 minutes of each other:
- Solar Eclipse - End of an 18-year cycle, beginning of a new one
- Lunar New Year (Chinese / Aditya) - Annual cycle reset
"It's a huge year. It's not hard to predict. We know so many things are moving forward, shifting and changing."
Saros Series 121 - A "Productive" Eclipse
This eclipse belongs to Saros Series 121:
- First eclipse: April 30, 944 AD in Mitra (tropical Taurus)
- Current member: #61 of 71
- Previous eclipse: February 6, 2008 at 17° Parjanya
- Final eclipse: June 7, 2206 AD
Ernst calls this a "productive and useful" eclipse series, unlike destructive eclipse cycles. The original 944 eclipse in Mitra (the sign of friends and potential) had retrograde Mercury conjunct the eclipse point in its own sign - an exceptionally favorable configuration.
"Mitra means friends. The idea is that friends help each other in bringing out people's potential. This rishi symbolizes the law of potential - that everything has within it a great potential."
Current Eclipse Chart (February 17, 2026) - USA:
Original Eclipse Chart (April 30, 944) - USA:
Mercury's Role - Perpetual Work in Progress
Retrograde Mercury in the original eclipse is crucial. Because it's retrograde, it sits between Earth and the eclipse, meaning we have access to that Mercury energy.
"For Mercury, everything is a work in progress. We're constantly learning, constantly trying to figure out how to make something work. And once it works, we're trying to make it work better. And when we get it to work better, we try to make it work better. That's Mercury's whole function."
"The way we've been trying to make things work for the last 18 years hasn't been working and we need to find a better way. And this time we'll actually come up with some good ways."
Saturn - Delays, Not Blockages
Saturn in the original eclipse forms a semisextile - not a serious problem, but it indicates delays:
"Saturn's not going to stop it. Saturn's not going to destroy it. Saturn's just going to show the reality that even this thing that will work, it's not instantaneous. It's not as fast as your imagination. You're going to have to take your time with it."
What this means: The new methods you discover will work, but not overnight. It's a long game.
Pluto & Saturn - Ego Transformation
The Pluto-Saturn conjunction shows that realizing your potential requires deep ego transformation:
"Our ego really hates that - acknowledging that you've been doing something wrong for a very long time. But you've gotten stuck. You're not realizing your potential."
What you'll have to face:
- Fear of rejection and humiliation
- Attachments to what no longer works
- The "devil you know" vs "the angel you don't"
- Eating crow and going back on past decisions
"Sometimes doing something in a better way causes some stress. This eclipse, yes, it's going to cause some stress when you start doing things in a better way. But it doesn't matter."
Saturn's Analogy: Ernst uses a powerful metaphor - Saturn rules "going to the bathroom." If you never let go of anything, you can never take in something new. A bad Saturn is someone who holds on to things out of fear of having nothing, and therefore can never achieve their potential in love, money, career, or inspiration.
"Until you put something down, you can't pick something new up."
Uranus - The Key Planet (The Awakener)
Ernst considers Uranus the most important planet of this particular eclipse. Uranus is only 1 degree from the eclipse point:
"The thing I love about Uranus is when it's part of an eclipse, it really helps bring out your best. Uranus says there's things in me that are better that need to be lived that need to be expressed."
The dual process:
- Uranus = ADDITIVE - brings out the TRUE SELF (adds what you really are)
- Pluto = SUBTRACTIVE - destroys the FALSE SELF (takes away what you are not)
- Together they form a perfect picture of your true being
"Uranus is the planet I'm least scared of. I'm not scared of any planet, but the one I crave... yeah, Uranus is coming to beat on me. That's what I want. That's the best planet."
Uranus-Mars Square: This square creates "righteous anger" - the feeling that "this is the truth of my being, I cannot live otherwise." Squares are "secretly inimical" - you don't know it's there until it suddenly comes up.
"Expect this to happen suddenly. Where did that come from? Wow, it's been buried so deep I didn't feel it at the surface enough to come up, but boom now it came up."
Mars - The Frustration Factor
Mars is only 9 degrees from the eclipse in the same sign, making this a more intense eclipse:
"If you get hit by this eclipse because of not having lived out your potential in certain areas... there's frustration. This frustration has built up and it might explode."
Two types of anger:
- Righteous anger (Uranus-Mars): "This is the only way I can live"
- Frustrated anger (Pluto-Mars): Anger at things because you haven't been doing what you need to for yourself
"Be careful who you're blowing up on because we've chosen to put ourselves in those positions. Realize that frustration is really something directed towards yourself. You're frustrated with yourself for staying in a place, staying in a job where you've been spinning your wheels."
Advice: Own your anger. If you blow up on someone, apologize when you realize it's your fault for being in that situation.
Previous Eclipse - February 2008
The last eclipse in this series was February 6, 2008 at 17° of Parjanya:
"I always like to look back at my chart and say, did this eclipse affect me 18 years ago? And if it did, you have an idea. Things that happened because of that eclipse... you might find a theme of what's happening now."
Note: 2008 was the year of the global financial crisis, suggesting thematic resonance for major systemic challenges.
Countries with 1st-8th House Interchange
Ernst expresses concerns for countries where this eclipse creates an interchange between the 1st and 8th house (Indra ascendant/tropical Cancer):
"An interchange between the first and eighth house is serious change, possible serious destruction, just a breakdown of the culture, a breakdown of the country, possibly a breakage of the building, the land and so on."
He specifically mentions that the entire Russia-Ukraine region and surrounding small countries have an Indra ascendant with this 1st-8th interchange.
Economic Concerns
Ernst has concerns about the US economy due to the 12th-5th house interchange:
"This is not good for the US economy. I have huge concerns about the US economy."
"Long-term wise, many countries are going to be really, really struggling on an economic level. This has nothing to do with economics. This has to do with countries truly living as something worth existing."
Optimistic View
Despite the challenges, Ernst sees significant positive potential:
"Expect this year to end with the world actually in a better place in the context of cultures aligning to something more true for them."
"This eclipse can help countries realign to live as something that you would actually be proud and you would want to live in that country."
On the potential for world peace:
"The potential for world peace is greater than it's ever been in this day and age. Yet why aren't we achieving it? Because people are trying things in the wrong way. This is the kind of eclipse that's like, okay, let's try a new method."
Key Message
"Don't be scared of the things this eclipse takes away. These are things in losing you will bring out more of your potential. There's something better for you. Whatever you lose, there's something better."
"More of yourself emerges. You're going to live at a higher potential. You're going to figure out how to live at a higher potential, but it's going to take time."
"It's a time of getting over your ego bound limitations, your fears and so on. Fears are simply ego bound limitations."
Connection to the French Agricultural Crisis
This eclipse occurs at 28° of Parjanya - the Aditya associated with rain, growth, and fertility. In Vedic tradition, Parjanya is the god of rain who nourishes the earth and allows crops to grow.
The current French agricultural crisis may be symbolically linked to this eclipse in Parjanya. The difficulties facing French farmers - between climate change, droughts, and economic pressures - resonate with the theme of an eclipse that temporarily "obscures" Parjanya's energies of growth and fertility.
This eclipse could mark a transformation point for French agriculture - the end of a cycle of methods that no longer work, and the beginning of a search for "better ways" to cultivate, as suggested by Mercury's energy in this eclipse series.
Personal Note from the Author
By Lorris Turpin
This eclipse in Parjanya has a particular resonance for me. Parjanya is the Aditya of growth, and I've lived a personal symbol of this energy these past few years.
About 3 years ago, I started cultivating a Moringa plant - a sacred plant in India, known for its exceptional nutritive properties. At the time, I was suffering from digestive difficulties, and this plant helped me heal.
Moringa is very popular in Réunion Island, where it grows very fast and is extremely nutritious. Historically, it was often cultivated by modest families because it offers so many benefits with few resources - a true gift from nature.
I followed this plant closely for years, and it has finally reached full maturity recently - exactly at the same time as this website and its new Aditya Zodiac calculator are also reaching maturity.
This synchronicity strikes me: just as the Moringa took its time to grow and reach its potential (recalling Saturn's message in this eclipse - "it's going to take time"), this Aditya Zodiac documentation project has also been a "work in progress" for years, perfectly following Mercury's philosophy as described by Ernst Wilhelm.
The eclipse in Parjanya seems to mark this moment when seeds planted long ago are finally reaching maturity.
