Aries (March 21-April 19)

As an ambassador of the first sign of the zodiac, you were born to lead. Life calls you to model courage and to light the way for others. On February 20, Saturn (structure) and Neptune (dreams) meet for the first time since 1989, ushering in an entirely new paradigm. What paradigm is that? The Aries paradigm. For the first time, these two planets unite at the zero-degree-Aries world point, signaling an unprecedented beginning. The ground is shifting beneath us all. Can you stay brave as cultural currents rock your world? Make it your mission during the first quarter of the year to dispel fear and stretch out to new levels of your potential.

The eclipses of February 17 and March 3 mark a watershed moment, drawing you into the deep unknown of your karmic and familial history. You may feel called to explore your ancestry, revisit old memories, or spend time in quiet reflection. These eclipses offer opportunities to heal long-held pain and let its associated emotions flow out of your body.

Aries season begins with a spark on March 20, but April takes you on a wild and catalytic ride. Stay curious as several planets activate your sign, opening doors around your career, home life, and overall well-being. Momentum builds quickly now. Say yes to opportunities that resonate, and they will help shape your long-term path.

On April 25, Uranus enters Gemini, accelerating communication and awakening your voice as a thought leader. Technology, teaching, writing, or speaking may be channels to share your message with a wider audience.

Joy returns in full bloom on June 29, when Jupiter enters Leo. This stellar influence may lead you to believe there’s a guardian angel around every corner you turn. Embrace enjoyment and be open to falling in love. You’ll want this infusion of warmth in August, when the eclipses on August 12 and 27 expose fractures in relationships, especially friendships.

As Venus turns retrograde on October 3, the pace slows. It’s time to reassess love, self-worth, and finances with honesty. Relationships may need space to adjust to changing dynamics, while financial fluctuations remind you that life unfolds in seasons. Trust the process rather than forcing outcomes.

December arrives as a hopeful close to a tumultuous year. It reminds you that intention is a creative force. As you look ahead to 2027, choose your next adventures wisely. You get to define what comes next.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

2026 marks the end of a long initiation and the beginning of a new kind of stability. For seven years, Uranus has shaken your foundations, pushing you out of comfort zones you didn’t even realize had become stifling. As Uranus prepares to leave your sign on April 25, you’re finally free to root yourself in a steady place and grow in new ways. You’ve earned wisdom. This year invites you to explore the subtle tension between commitment and freedom, remembering that genuine commitment often carries responsibility. If you’ve resisted change, you’ve received a master class in going with the flow, and the lesson is complete.

On April 25, Uranus enters Gemini. Expect surprises, sudden opportunities, and unexpected gifts—material and otherwise. The question is: are you willing to receive? Let, “I am willing,” and “I allow,” be both your mantra and your mission. You don’t have to do everything alone; support arrives when you allow it.

Saturn and Neptune meet at the very first degree of the zodiac on February 20, signaling the emergence of an entirely new paradigm. It is a profoundly spiritual transit, opening portals to the liminal and unseen and inviting you to explore subtler realms of intuition and dreams.

Between February 17 and March 3, eclipses stir changes within your social circles and disrupt politics within your group affiliations. These changes are preparing you to embody your inner warrior from March 20 through April 20. Set boundaries with clarity, speak your yeses and nos with conviction, and move forward without apology. Don’t let anyone question your direction. Charge forth!

July brings heat and momentum, especially between July 15 and 22, when life asks you to break the routine. Creativity becomes medicine now. Plan playful gatherings, game nights, or spontaneous adventures that remind you joy is innate and not earned. On June 29, Jupiter begins its year-long journey through Leo, illuminating your home and family life. It is a favorable time to refresh your living space, invest in real estate, or deepen your sense of belonging.

In October, your ruling planet Venus turns retrograde, inviting you to revisit old themes around love, money, and self-worth. The clock turns back so you can renegotiate what you value and how you share your emotional and financial resources. By the end of 2026, you’ll recognize how much steadier you’ve become because you learned how to meet change without losing yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

2026 is a threshold year between one paradigm and another. The year’s astrological signatures quietly prepare you for a surprising personal renaissance. Much of the year begins behind the scenes, asking you to listen closely to intuition, dreams, and subtle signals before taking bold external action. It’s a year of inner recalibration that sets the stage for a powerful rebirth in 2027. Patience is not always your favorite virtue, but it is your secret ally this year.

The first quarter of the year carries an unmistakable sense of transition. On February 20, Saturn and Neptune meet at the first degree of the zodiac. For you, this alignment highlights your public life, career, and vocation. Imagine a future that aligns more powerfully with what most inspires and delights you. You may feel disoriented at times, but this uncertainty tills a fertile ground. A new vision is forming, even if it isn’t fully visible yet.

Between February 17 and March 3, eclipses activate themes of personal power and your role in the world. Changes within leadership structures, institutions, or professional goals may push you to reassess what causes you want to lend your voice.

From March 20 through April 20, Aries season ignites your social world. Friendships, collaborations, and community connections remind you that ideas spread like wildfire when shared. Clarify your visions with trusted allies and reconnect with people who inspire your curiosity and wonder.

Everything shifts on April 25, when Uranus, the planet of awakening, disruption, and liberation, enters your sign for the first time in decades. This transit marks the beginning of a seven-year cycle. Expect sudden insights, unexpected opportunities, and a strong urge to live more authentically. You may feel restless, electric, and alive with ideas. Let curiosity lead, but pace yourself. True liberation isn’t chaos—it’s conscious change.

On June 29, Jupiter enters Leo, expanding your voice, confidence, and creative expression. This joyful, expressive influence supports writing, teaching, and sharing your ideas. Your words carry weight now. Your words are like magic spells.
In October, Venus turns retrograde, prompting reflection on love, pleasure, and emotional needs. Relationships may ask for renegotiation. Let conversations help you align your heart with your evolving sense of self.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 

Cancer, 2026 opens with a sense of possibility that’s been quietly growing within you. Jupiter, the planet of joyful abundance, expansion, and opportunity, has been moving through your sign, and you’ve already tasted what it feels like to take up more space in your own life. Make the most of this influence in the first half of the year. Dream bigger than you usually allow yourself to, and then do the very Cancerian thing of building a structure that can actually hold those dreams. Hope needs a home, and you know how to create one.

This year carries the full spectrum of human emotion, and you’ll feel it more passionately than most. Sensitivity is your superpower, but only when emotions are allowed to move rather than stagnate. Make self-care a non-negotiable practice. Somatic work, yoga, breathwork, dancing, or anything that helps energy move through your body will be important tools for staying balanced and resilient.

With so much planetary emphasis on your career and public life in the first quarter of 2026, your home and private world may start to feel overlooked. Pay attention to that imbalance. Your foundation matters, especially when outside demands increase. Take time to tend to unfinished household projects, particularly when Mercury stations retrograde in July.

2026 is also a year of sweeping collective change. Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn all shift signs, reflecting larger social disruptions that ripple into your daily routines and sense of security. While this can feel unsettling, it also opens the door to rapid technological advances that simplify your life. New tools may take over chores that once drained your energy, giving you back time and freedom.

Venus turns retrograde on October 3, inviting you to slow down and look inward. Relationships and finances ask for reflection rather than action, making it a time to listen to your inner guidance and reassess decisions. Try not to push against resistance, especially in your romantic relationships. Ride the emotional waves.

By December, you’ll appreciate how much you’ve grown as a result of your ambitions, but more than that, you’ll celebrate your earned wisdom. 2026 is a growth-oriented year, after all, and it teaches you that abundance isn’t only about success or recognition. It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself, supported enough to dream, and present enough to enjoy the life you’re building.

Leo (July 23-August 22) 

Once every 12 years, Jupiter, the planet of joyful expansion, faith, and opportunity, moves through your sign, and when it does, life opens golden opportunities. From June 29 to July 2027, you’re in a Jupiter phase. Own your manifestation power. Intentions you’ve been tending over time finally begin to take form. Until then, plant the seedling desires burning in your heart and trust they’ll take root in the second half of 2026.

This year is marked by dramatic contrasts—high highs and low lows. As the sign most attuned to storytelling and the dramatic arts, you’re no stranger to life’s tragicomedies. The invitation now is to meet both ends of the spectrum with presence. Relish the lows for what they teach you. Celebrate the miraculous highs without diminishing them. Own your successes fully and watch how confidence creates a ripple effect, generating momentum across every area of your life.

Adventure is a defining theme, especially as Saturn and Neptune move through Aries. Their rare meeting on February 20 marks a stellar threshold, igniting radical change and awakening a deeper sense of purpose. This transit may arrive as a calling. Listen closely to your intuition. Is it urging you to travel, return to school, teach, publish, or change direction entirely? Trust the pull. It’s not a year to play small or question your worth. Imposter syndrome has no place here! You are meant to shine in ways that reach far beyond your immediate circle.

Think this sounds exaggerated? Not with Pluto, the planet of transformation, activating your opposite sign. Its influence suggests that what you create now carries influence. Your efforts can spark chain reactions, like the pyrotechnics of a summer concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Choose your projects wisely, because they’re louder and more influential than you realize.

There are a few times to be cautious. You may encounter heightened emotions or power struggles between July 15 and 21. Later in the year, as Venus turns retrograde from October 3 to November 13, boundaries are necessary. Finances may feel tighter, making it important to stay organized with money matters: debt, taxes, or contracts, especially.

The South Node enters your sign on July 26, reminding you that rest is not weakness and restraint is a form of wisdom. Health truly is wealth. As the Sagittarius Sun shines, life feels more navigable. Though change continues at a rapid pace and faster than your comfort zone prefers, the end of the year carries you to steadier ground.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) 

The last two years have been an initiation. Since late January 11, 2025, the South Node, the point of karmic release and soul-level cleanup, has been moving through your sign, drawing you deep into the hidden corridors of your subconscious. You’ve confronted fears you didn’t have language for, patterns you may have inherited, and inner narratives that once quietly limited your power. 2025 asked for emotional and psycho-spiritual heavy lifting, siphoning energy away from anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In 2026, you begin to reap the rewards. It is a year of purpose, clarity, and forward motion.

You have one final milestone. On March 3, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo marks a kind of graduation day. Think of it as the moment you step across a threshold, having learned all you can from the past cycle. Life now asks you to trust that you are ready for the next level of your journey.

The astrology of 2026 places all of us at a turning point in global affairs, and the collective turbulence has personal consequences. It’s important to remember that worry will not add a single day to your life. As any writer knows, conflict is what advances a storyline. The key is how you move through it. From February 17 to March 20, emotions run high as eclipses block the light and your ruling planet, Mercury, goes retrograde from February 25 to March 20. Loved ones may be navigating their own crises, and you’ll feel the pull to fix, manage, or absorb their pain. Offer support—but don’t lose yourself in the process. Your presence is enough, even when you’re not solving anything.

April brings a radical shift. Uranus enters Gemini, expanding your mind and awakening your inner scientist. Curiosity electrifies possibilities. This ingress marks the beginning of a seven-year cycle in which your ideas, words, and insights have the power to influence systems and spark change. You may feel drawn toward research, teaching, writing, technology, or innovation—anything that allows you to analyze, synthesize, and communicate in new ways.

Your career may undergo a surprising makeover as well. Opportunities could arrive suddenly or feel divinely timed, as if dropped into your awareness like a message from another realm. Stay open. What initially feels disruptive may be the very thing that sets you on a more meaningful path.

By the end of 2026, you’ll recognize how far you’ve grown in confidence. You’re no longer defined by what you fear or fixate on. A new mission is emerging, one that requires both precision and vision.

Libra (September 23-October 22) 

2026 asks you to step into your authority without abandoning your grace. Much of your growth now comes through relationships with others, with power, and with the existential truth of who you are becoming. Balance is no longer about keeping the peace at all costs. It’s about choosing integrity, even when it disrupts the surface harmony. Otherwise, the inner conflict could conjure disharmony in your physical body.

Saturn and Neptune meet at the first degree of the zodiac on February 20, signaling the emergence of an entirely new paradigm. This transit unfolds with dynamic tension, as Aries is your opposite sign. These planets send you on a crash course in boundaries for the next several years and push you to activate your inner warrior. You may feel disoriented at first, unsure how to organize your time or energy. Trust that something more meaningful is taking shape.

Between February 17 and March 3, eclipses activate themes of rest, mental health, and hidden emotional patterns. Pay attention to what your body and psyche are asking for now. Burnout is a signal, not a failure. The more compassion you extend toward yourself, the clearer your next steps become.

From March 20 through April 20, the focus turns toward partnership. Aries season lights up your relationship axis, challenging you to speak honestly and set boundaries with confidence. You’re learning that mutuality requires clarity. Saying no to what drains you is how you make space for what excites you.

A major shift arrives on April 25, when Uranus enters Gemini, opening a seven-year cycle of intellectual expansion, travel, and philosophical awakening. Your worldview stretches. You may feel called to study something new, teach, publish, or explore cultures that challenge your assumptions. Conversations can become catalysts for change. Let curiosity guide you.

Jupiter enters Leo on June 29, expanding your social world and illuminating your role within communities and networks. Friendships deepen, audiences grow, and collaborations bring unexpected joy. Align with people who share your vision and values.

In October, Venus—your guiding planet—turns retrograde for its once-in-18-month journey. It initiates a review of love, money, and self-worth. Old relationship patterns may resurface, for you to embrace self-compassion and refuse to underestimate your worth. Financial matters ask for mindfulness rather than impulse. Renegotiate what you give, what you receive, and where you may have been overextending yourself in the name of harmony.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

2026 is a year of recalibration, and it asks you to transform through a series of conscious choices instead of crises. The year opens at a turning point for the collective. On February 20, Saturn and Neptune meet at the very first degree of the zodiac, signaling the birth of an entirely new paradigm. Old stories around pleasure, love, and worth begin to dissolve. You may feel called to reclaim parts of yourself that were once buried under responsibility, survival, or control. Creativity is your medicine.

Between February 17 and March  3, eclipses stir powerful themes around community, belonging, and your long-term aspirations. Shifts within friendships, alliances, or professional networks may feel fated. Some connections fall away; others reveal their deeper purpose. Let this sorting process unfold naturally.

From February 25 to March 20, Mercury travels retrograde, heightening emotional intensity and inviting reflection. This is not the time to force clarity from others or rush decisions. Observe patterns. Listen between the lines. Your intuition is razor-sharp now, but it works best when you allow silence to speak.

A major turning point arrives on April 25, when Uranus enters Gemini and begins a seven-year cycle. This transit accelerates inner change. Sudden insights crack open old emotional armor, freeing you from narratives rooted in fear or scarcity. Refining your communication in relationships requires trust, and Uranus asks what you are willing to receive. Trust, when chosen consciously, becomes a source of liberation rather than vulnerability.

Career and public identity continue their slow metamorphosis under Pluto’s influence, reminding you that power is no longer about control—it’s about alignment. What you build now must be sustainable, ethical, and true to your values. Anything else erodes from the inside out.

As the year unfolds, Jupiter’s move into Leo on June 29 spotlights your professional life, expanding visibility and leadership opportunities. You may find yourself stepping into a role that carries influence or responsibility. Recognition comes—but only if you’re willing to be seen. Let success feel expansive rather than burdensome.

In October, Venus turns retrograde, prompting a review of emotional bonds, trust, and financial entanglements. Old desires may resurface—not to pull you backward, but to show you how much you’ve changed. This is a time for renegotiation and honesty, especially around what you share and what you keep sacred.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) 

What a year to be a fire sign! The shifting currents of last year carried you into adventures you never could have planned, teaching you lessons about freedom, faith, and trust. In 2026, you’re still in motion, but the topography feels more liminal than stable. If things seem unsettled, trust the divine plan. The more you resist the current, the rougher the ride; the more you stay open, the more magic reveals itself.

Surprises are a defining theme, especially when trickster Uranus makes a major move into your opposite sign on April 25. Expect the unexpected, lean on your humor, and hope to turn chaos into wisdom. Life is shaking loose old opinions, so a more authentic, energetic blueprint can emerge.

A rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at the first degree of the zodiac on February 20 signals the birth of a new collective story. The last time these two met up was in 1989 at the fall of the Berlin Wall. For you, this awakens a deeper calling. You may find yourself teaching, speaking, or illuminating possibilities for others—sometimes without realizing how influential your words are. On some soul level, you volunteered for this role.

From February 17 through March 20, eclipse energy heightens emotions and purpose. Hold the bigger picture for those caught in the moment’s tides. Stay optimistic. Let your light shine steadily rather than in bursts. Your faith carries you to a new chapter of stability.

April brings courage as Aries energy ignites your inner warrior. This is your moment to draw a line, advocate for a cause, and fully participate. You’re not here to sit on the sidelines.

As the North Node enters Aquarius this summer, generosity becomes a lesson in balance. You can’t give endlessly without replenishment. True generosity comes from overflow, not depletion.

September tests that balance in the wake of the August eclipses, potentially reshaping priorities and sparking a meaningful romance. Passion may arrive quickly—wisdom asks you to pace yourself.

If a major leap tempts you in the fall, pause. Venus and Mercury retrograde from October into mid-November can blur signals and require revisions. After November 13, clarity returns.

Sagittarius season, from November 23 to December 22, is a high point. Perspective widens, optimism returns, and gratitude flows. By year’s end, you’ll see how far you’ve traveled—not just in distance, but in wisdom. You didn’t just chase horizons in 2026. You helped redefine them.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) 

You’ve spent years doing the long work by building, committing, and persevering. Now, after the hustle, you can reflect on what is sustainable versus what is simply familiar. This year asks you to be real with yourself and honest about your expectations. Then, to celebrate the milestones you’ve reached thus far.

On February 20, Saturn, your governing planet, meets Neptune at the first degree of the zodiac, marking the birth of an entirely new paradigm. For you, this alignment lands close to home and indicates a new beginning in your family life. Foundations could shift. Family dynamics, living situations, or hard-wired emotional patterns could begin to dissolve and reform. You may feel nostalgia for the past, even as you sense that you cannot return to it.

Between February 17 and March 3, eclipses heighten emotional sensitivity and bring important conversations to the surface. Communication within close circles may feel charged. Add Mercury retrograde from February 25 to March 20, and clarity may feel temporarily elusive. You don’t need to resolve everything at once; sometimes, your silence is the most powerful response.

From March 20 through April 20, Aries season activates themes of home, security, and belonging. You may feel motivated to set firmer boundaries around your time and energy or to advocate for your needs more directly than usual. Own your authority in all areas of your life, but especially your personal life.

A major shift arrives on April 25, when Uranus enters Gemini, beginning a seven-year cycle of innovation in your daily routines. Technology, automation, or new methods of organization may dramatically improve your quality of life. Be willing to experiment and to consider efficiency a form of freedom.

On June 29, Jupiter enters Leo, ushering you into deep inquiry about financial matters like restructuring debt, investments, or joint ventures. Collaborations teach lessons in trust. Allow yourself to receive.

October brings a significant pause as Venus turns retrograde, prompting reflection on your public identity and how willing you are to be seen and known. Recognition may feel delayed, or financial matters may require reassessment. However, keep your attention focused on the long game.

By year’s end, the pace steadies. Your footing is stronger, your load lighter, and your direction clearer. This year reminds you that true success isn’t just about how high you climb. It’s about building something that lasts.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) 

The astrology of 2026 places us at the threshold of a new paradigm. A new consciousness is emerging, and as the visionary of the zodiac, you’re uniquely attuned to the future trying to be born. This is not a year for passive observation. In your own corner of the world, you may be called to guide others through a period that is both tumultuous and triumphant.

Three major planetary cycles begin in rapid succession, and each one speaks directly to your role as a pathfinder. Neptune enters Aries on January 26, awakening spiritual courage and the power of inspired thought. Saturn follows on February 13, asking you to give structure and discipline to those visions. Then, on April 25, Uranus enters Gemini, sparking a seven-year cycle of innovation, communication, and revelation. Ideas move fast, and so do you.

On February 20, Saturn and Neptune conjoin at the first degree of the zodiac, 0° Aries. This rare alignment signals a global shift on the scale of historic turning points—much like the fall of the Berlin Wall, which occurred during the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction. On a personal level, this transit asks: what walls of resistance, fear, or self-imposed limitation are you ready to dissolve? The boundaries that once felt immovable may soften or disappear entirely. Whatever you can imagine now, you can also build into form.

Summer brings moments of friction that test your patience and emotional intelligence, particularly as Jupiter moves into your opposite sign on June 29 and then the North Node destiny point enters your sign on July 26. Approach conflicts the way you’d approach a puzzle: look for missing information, stay curious, and resist the urge to polarize. Solutions emerge through understanding rather than force.

Venus stations retrograde from October 3 to November 13. Let this be a season of self-nurturance, compassion, and radical self-acceptance. Love begins with how you treat yourself. Model the care, respect, and tenderness you wish to receive through your actions and inner dialogue.

Finances may also require careful attention, especially during this Venus retrograde cycle. Thoughtful planning and conscious spending now create stability later.

By the time the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, you could feel hope return as though you’re emerging from a chrysalis. Your wings are stretched, tested, and ready. You end the year not just envisioning the future, but prepared to fly toward it.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

The first half of 2026 turns your attention to matters of destiny. The North Node, a point related to purpose, moves through your sign until July 26, marking a once-in-19-years window for personal breakthroughs and long-awaited milestones. You don’t need to chase recognition. Instead, step into alignment. The turbulence of the times serves a higher purpose for you now, helping you uncover spiritual gifts and clarify a sacred calling that has been quietly developing beneath the surface.

Eclipses on February 17 and March 3 act as gateways, inviting you to deepen your intuition and stretch beyond familiar comfort zones. Your voice carries unusual resonance in 2026, and your words can be catalysts for healing, inspiration, and truth.

April’s astrology ignites passion and purpose. You may feel compelled to advocate for a cause, speak up in moments of collective intensity, or respond to the emotional undercurrents of a world in transition. Trust the inner guidance that arises now. If you feel drawn to relocate, change course, or take a leap that defies logic, listen carefully. While 2026 calls for discernment and caution in many areas, beneath any prevailing fear, you sense something else entirely. Could that feeling be excitement?

On August 27, a partial lunar eclipse in your sign awakens dormant potential. Did you abandon a dream or step away from a goal that once mattered deeply? If so, accept your invitation to re-enter the flow of possibility. Old visions can be resurrected in new forms. If something is meant for you, this eclipse drives you toward it.

September emphasizes grounding. As the emotional and spiritual currents intensify, you’re reminded of the importance of financial stability and practical planning, especially before Venus stations retrograde on October 3. This Venus cycle brings themes of reciprocity to the forefront. Examine where you may feel indebted to others, and where you give without balance or acknowledgment. Let this mantra guide you: what I have is more than enough, and I am free to give.

Uranus’s move into Gemini on April 25 signals the potential for sudden shifts in your home life. Moves, renovations, or unconventional living arrangements may appeal to you. You might even enjoy a nomadic chapter as you explore what freedom and belonging mean on your own terms.

By the end of 2026, you’ll recognize how much braver you’ve become. This year asks you to live as though your dreams are already manifesting.
