Astrologer Christopher Renstrom has released his horoscope for Wednesday, February 18, 2026, forecasting cosmic influences for each zodiac sign. Renstrom, creator of Rulingplanets.com and author of several books on astrology including “The Cosmic Calendar” and “Rise & Shine: An Astrological Guide to How You Demonstrate Up in the World,” currently provides daily horoscopes for the San Francisco Chronicle and SFGate.com.
Renstrom’s approach to horoscopes has evolved with public understanding of astrology, moving beyond simple “good day/bad day” predictions to incorporate awareness of eclipses, retrogrades, and the longer-term impacts of planetary movements. He emphasizes providing insight and foresight, enabling individuals to choose their response to astrological energies rather than adhering to a fixed fate. According to Renstrom, astrology aims to identify “clear skies” and “stormfronts” – periods conducive to progress and times best suited for retreat.
The astrologer’s work builds on a long history of astrological study in America, a subject he lectures on extensively. His website, Rulingplanets.com, is based on his 2002 book, Ruling Planets, which has since sold out its initial print run. Renstrom’s horoscopes are intended to offer a “cosmic forecast” and guidance, acknowledging that challenging periods are temporary and will eventually pass.
On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Renstrom advised Libras to “Build time for a friend in need today.” The Wednesday forecast was released by chatelaine.com, according to Google News.
