Okay then – let’s do this year!
As you all know, I’m a self-confessed control freak. The only surprises I like are chocolate cake and glittery earrings. Other than that, I want to know what’s up to plan accordingly. Every year, I map out all the big astrological happenings well before the year kicks off. This helps me move through my year with as little drama as possible.

How to use this astrology guide for 2026
Remember, the planetary action shows tendencies and potentials for opportunity… or problems. Awareness of what’s going on in the stars will give you an astro-edge because when you know what’s up, you can strategize how to work that energy to your advantage (even if the stars are grumpy!). Mark the dates of caution and action down in your calendar. Read your yearly scope + special tarot card wisdom to see the bigger picture for your sign. (You may also want to read the forecast for your rising sign.) Then, make 2026 your BFF. Bada bing!

Read on, astro-playas:
Mercury retrograde 2026
Mercury will be retrograde three times this year.
Water signs mean there is an emotional edge to these retrogrades. Feelings could color your thinking, causing meltdowns and communication breakdowns. Travel over water could become complicated, creating the potential for delays or cancellations. This could also bring relationship issues to a boiling point. You’ll want to exercise a mountain of patience during these emo transits.
Also, keep in mind the usual advice: when Mercury goes retrograde, back up your computer, avoid signing contracts, do not buy new tech gear or vehicles, allow for extra time in all of your affairs (especially travel), and slow down as much as possible.
Check out my detailed post for more information: How To Have A Happy and Productive Mercury Retrograde.
Mercury Retrograde dates:
February 25 – March 20 in Pisces
June 29 – July 23 in Cancer
October 24 – November 13 in Scorpio
Venus retrograde 2026
Venus retrograde in Scorpio brings jealousy, breakups, and all the make-up sex. YIKES. This intense vibe could bring drama even to the most stable relationships. Once Venus heads back into Libra, legal issues, divorce, and issues of unfairness take the main stage. While this period may dredge up all the ick in relationships, there is also the possibility of clarity. Once you see what needs to be healed, you can get to work.
Other Venus retrograde advice: this is not the best transit for getting married, signing legal contracts, or elective surgery. Put off those ideas until Venus is direct. Watch out for too much retail therapy – the credit card bills will be a killer if you’re not mindful. This transit is great for collecting money owed to you.
Venus is retrograde from October 3rd – November 13, 2026. It starts in Scorpio – goes back to Libra on October 25th, stations direct on November 13th, and reenters Scorpio on December 4th. What a wild ride!
2026 Eclipses
Eclipses are worth mentioning because they can signal major changes. You’ll need to check your chart to see where these changes might take place (you can get a free copy at alabe.com).
This year, the eclipses bounce between the Virgo/Pisces axis and the Leo/Aquarius axis. Which gives the year a “split personality” vibe. Themes around work, service, self, and the collective mean we might experience changes in how we work, what work we do, and how we deal with power – including shared power. The midterms are on the way – unions, community, and team work could change the power dynamic. Kings? Nope. The people’s revolution instead.
Eclipse dates for 2026:
New Moon Solar Eclipse 28° Aquarius – February 17
Total Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 12º Virgo – March 3
Total New Moon Solar Eclipse 20º Leo – August 12
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 4º Pisces – August 28 at 12:13 AM EDT
New Moons/Full Moons
Moon cycles are GREAT for planning.
New Moons are perfect for starting something new, whether a relationship, a job, a diet, writing that novel you’ve been talking about, or even a whole new chapter of your life! New Moon Astrology by Jan Spiller can teach you how to set intentions that work for every New Moon. I swear by that book!
Full Moons are about letting go. Cut out that toxic lover, quit that draining job, give up your three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, and release anything old, outworn, or annoying (that crappy old sweater taking up space in your closet – begone!).

Other noteworthy astro-dates
Saturn sextile Uranus
January 20 – This is a marvelous aspect, ideal for serious work with groups and organizations, especially for those connected to humanitarian purposes. Much progress can be made in business, politics, and scientific research as well. We could see improvements via technology and medical breakthroughs. This is also the end of a trilogy that began last April. The political landscape has been dicey since then, especially in the States. A true revolution for the people may kick off now. The old guard needs to make way for the new wave. Keep in mind, this time Saturn is in Pisces while Uranus sits in Taurus – the dream of an equitable future requires practicality if you want to make it real.
Saturn conjunct Neptune
February 20 – The energy is like grounded creativity when these two planets collide. It’s fantastic for artists, musicians, photographers, and performing artists. But this also brings structure and breakthroughs for medical care, universities, and cultural institutions.
Saturn sextile Pluto
March 28 – An amazing aspect for intuition. Expect major epiphanies. Also: the power moves into the hands of the collective. A structure for meaningful transformation becomes clear.
Uranus sextile Neptune
July 15 – This aspect elevates original thinking and intuition. It can also mean groups coming together to move forward on a shared dream. Literary breakthroughs are possible.
Jupiter trine Neptune
July 20 – We can find our faith again. No matter how difficult things have been, this day brings a new, expansive, and hopeful perspective. Spiritual inspiration, empathy, and connections to something greater are all possible. An excellent time for overseas travel.
Jupiter opposes Pluto
July 20 – This difficult aspect can bring power plays, autocratic tendencies, coercion, religious extremism, and pushy hypocrisy out into the open. It’s not a great time to push your beliefs.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
July 21 – Feeling lucky, punk? You might on this day. This aspect brings a sudden turn of fortune. Take risks, do the impossible, think big – and outside the box. Jupiter sextile Uranus can indicate freedom, overseas travel, and social or political change.
Neptune sextile Pluto
July 25, September 15 – This marks a huge change in the cultural landscape. New tastemakers step forward, dreams alter to serve the collective, and the old way begins to falter. It’s a tipping point.
Sun conjunct Jupiter
July 29 – This is a lucky day. Make your wishes, set those intentions, look for the good, and spread joy where you can. If opportunities arise, don’t hesitate – say yes! This is an excellent day to toot your horn, think big, travel far, and start new creative ventures. Whatever you do, don’t half-ass it. Leo wants you to do it up large!
Uranus trine Pluto
November 29 – Ch-ch-change is on the way. The energy is like a “youth quake,” a time when radical shakeups occur. The old way dies, progress is inevitable, and the collective kicks out the jams – and the political dinosaurs. Technological advances are ahead. You cannot stop the future…or the children of the revolution.
Outer planets
Some of the outer planets are moving on this year. Change is good!
Jupiter
Jupiter is in Cancer at the beginning of the year. Jupiter loves being in Cancer because it’s exalted in the sign of the Crab. That means it’s operating at its very best. Jupiter in Cancer is fantastic for real estate, domestic upgrades, and family expansion via birth or marriage. It’s also excellent for sensitivity. You can trust your emotions and intuition more than usual. While travel is a Jupiter thing, in Cancer you don’t have to see the world to understand it. Welcome people from different cultures into your home – and you might expand your horizons in new ways.
Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th. During this transit, which lasts until July 26, 2027, you can express yourself in bold ways. No holding back! Instead, you can be loud, proud, and totally YOU. Jupiter expands, and in big-hearted Leo, there is no better time to lead with your heart. Whether you’re connecting with your loved ones or the public, let your generous spirit come out to play. This transit is awesome for creativity, children, leisure, theater, performing arts, and red-hot romance. Watch out for ego – it can get overblown now. While this transit favors tooting your horn, it’s important to share the spotlight with others.
Jupiter will be retrograde from December 12th – April 12, 2027. The best advice during that period: go back to school, study something new, finally complete a degree, or take a trip that you put off far too long. This is NOT a good time for gambling. You can lose your shirt if you are too impulsive with your money.
Saturn
Saturn in Pisces. The planet of structure isn’t too happy in watery Pisces. Here, the energy becomes ungrounded and scattered. Instead of staying put and being responsible, this transit has everyone looking for the exit door. The best way to move through this transit: seek healthy escapes, find support if you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and create a schedule with room to breathe. Saturn in Pisces can open hearts, leading to greater compassion. It’s also quite fab for art, music, and any sort of creative work. Bleeding hearts and artsy folks will be at their best now. Saturn leaves Pisces on February 13th.
Saturn in Aries February 13th – April 12, 2028. Aries is associated with individuality, identity, courage, and authenticity. Strict Saturn won’t accept excuses. This transit favors personal responsibility. Instead of bitching about what happened in the past, this is time to be here, right now. Who are you becoming? Rather than letting the past define you, this transit challenges you to take command of your life. Saturn in Aries is also the perfect time to let go of selfishness, anger, and a need to be first. Instead, find ways to compromise and put others first. On the world stage, courageous leadership is needed. Those who lead through fear may find pushback. New beginnings are possible as the old way is rejected in favor of a new way where everyone is free to be themselves.
Saturn will be retrograde from July 26th – December 10th. Use this retrograde to review boundaries, structures, and personal responsibility.
Uranus
Uranus in Taurus – The planet of revolution in Taurus, the sign that rules money, promises to bring about a financial revolution. If you’re looking for a steady, calm economy, good luck with that. Instead, this transit brings about major transformation – globally and personally. This promises to be a volatile and unpredictable time, but for those who are conscious, it may be a time to examine how free we really are when it comes to money.
For example, are you doing work solely for the dollar? Are you knee-deep in debt because you’re trying to keep up with the Joneses – or because you’ve made some poor decisions in the past? Are you obsessed with gathering possessions and power – at the expense of others? Uranus in Taurus will make you examine all of this and more. This period will demand that you look at your relationship with money – and evolve it. If you are unwilling to do so, Uranus may throw a few wrenches in the system that may force you to rethink how you’re handling it or making it.
ThisUranus is retrograde at the beginning of the year until February 3rd. is an excellent time to reflect on your values and where you’re stuck. If you’re too firmly in your comfort zone, why? What might you need to do to break out of that? What changes do you need to make, particularly around money?
Uranus in Gemini – April 25th, 2026, May 22nd, 2033. This transit can bring revolutionary advances in all things Gemini: technology, communication, travel, education, and neighborhoods. Ideas, literature, and daily living are also on the front burner. Expect far-out to be the norm and the norm to be far-out.
Uranus will be retrograde in Gemini from September 10, 2026, to February 8, 2027. Review your relationship with technology, change, communication, ideas, and education. Are you moving toward the future or clinging to the old?
Neptune
Neptune in Pisces—Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces, so it’s pretty happy here. This period is fantastic for artists, musicians, and mystics. Whether you’re navel-gazing or tuning in and turning out, keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. This dreamy transit can produce escapism, so watch out for spaciness, drug/alcohol abuse, or other clever ways of avoiding responsibilities and unpleasant things.
Neptune in Aries – January 26th, 2026 – May 21st, 2038. The last time Neptune was in Aries was from 1861 – 1875, so it’s been a minute. This transit is associated with individualism. That idea that we can make it if we work hard enough ala The American Dream. However, life is different than it was back then – so the American Dream may undergo a reality check. It might be time to honor the collective and pull each other up rather than pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. Together, the dream is possible. Alone, it’s less a dream and more like a delusional fairy tale. (Psst… no one makes it without help. We need each other.)
Neptune is retrograde from July 7th – December 12th, a perfect time for spiritual retreats, intuition work, and any sort of mystical groove. Watch out for a tendency towards escapism. Stay grounded.
Pluto
Pluto in Aquarius. This marks a time when technology, art, and science undergo significant transformation. Change is coming on a broader scale as well, for Aquarius favors the collective. The wheels of social justice are ready to turn, and progress is on the way (although a few crusty old types may try to cling to the old ways!). We can begin to build an equitable future at last. Whatever was dismantled during Pluto in Capricorn is going to be rebuilt for modern times. Fun fact: Pluto was in Aquarius during the American and French Revolutions. Expect to see a new society emerging as the world becomes more “global.” We’re in this together. Time to act like ya know!
Pluto will be retrograde from May 6th – October 16th.
This retrograde is perfect for examining your own outdated beliefs and thought patterns. Where do you need to evolve? Where are you stuck in the old? Clear that energy and empower yourself by creating new thought forms that support the way you want to show up in the new world that is developing right underneath your nose.

Mini 2026 Personal Horoscopes + Tarotscopes
Aries: 2026 begins on an introspective note, dear Aries. In a way, this is like waiting for your cue to go onstage. You’re ready to step into the spotlight when Neptune moves into your sign on January 26th, followed by Saturn on February 13th. This indicates a new level of maturity is possible if you are willing to take responsibility and set a shining example for others. Jupiter’s presence in your domestic sector for the first half of the year is ideal for updating your living quarters. If you want to renovate or buy a new house, go ahead! Romance is on the rise when Jupiter enters your 5th house on June 30th. You’ll have a full year to find the one, pop the question, or sow your wild oats. If you want to expand your family, it’s an excellent time to begin. The Solar Eclipse on August 12th could bring a romantic surprise – or an unexpected pregnancy. Protect your health on these dates: March 3rd and August 28th – Lunar Eclipses light up your 6th and 12th houses, which means extra caution may be necessary.
The Hermit – Spend time in solitude. This way, you can hear yourself think. The wisdom you need is within you
Taurus: This year feels like a mixed bag, dear Taurus. Saturn and Neptune in your friend zone at the beginning of 2026 help you sort out your true crew from your frenemies. This is a theme that has been ongoing for a few years, but now you’re a pro at seeing through nonsense. Neptune moves into your private sector on January 26th, followed by Stuart on February 13th, the ideal duo for inner work. Therapy, reflection, and spiritual retreats could bring psychological breakthroughs. Uranus leaves your sign on April 25th, kicking off a seven-year money itch. You could make a ton of cash or lose it during this period. A strong savings plan ensures you’ll keep that hard-earned cheddar. The first six months of the year find Jupiter in your 3rd house, which is dynamite for quick trips or back-to-school activities. If you want to hit the road or the books, do it then. Once Jupiter slips into your domestic sector on June 30th, you might be focused on securing the ideal nest. You’ll have a full year to create your dream home. It’s also an excellent time to mend fences with loved ones, move abroad, expand your family circle, or make money through real estate. Bada bing! A Solar Eclipse on February 17th could signal a career pivot. This could be a new job or role. The energy around eclipses tends to be shocking, so it could manifest as a company takeover or other unexpected event. A sudden move is possible with the Solar Eclipse on August 12th. For example, you might have to move across the country for a job, or you may unexpectedly find your perfect home. Be ready to roll with the punches.
Eight of Wands – You’re going places this year! It’s excellent for travel or a move. Everything you started in 2025 is gaining momentum.
Gemini: Opportunities to advance in your career remain strong at the start of the year, due to Saturn and Neptune’s presence in your 10th house as 2026 commences. You’ve worked hard for years, creating the ideal conditions for recognition, dear Gemini. The accolades you receive now have been earned, so enjoy your rise to the top of your profession. Financial growth is also on the docket, thanks to Jupiter moving through your money zone for the first half of the year. Raises, bonuses, or new money-making ideas keep your cash flowing strong. On January 26th, Neptune leaves Pisces for Aries, with Saturn following a few weeks later. This shifts your focus to your social circle. New friendships may enter your world, or you might strengthen old alliances. For some Geminis, friends could prove to be unreliable, making a new social circle an enticing prospect. A Solar Eclipse on February 17th is your golden ticket to a faraway journey or a move abroad. If the opportunity arises to leave, go! Uranus saunters into your sign on April 25th, your permission slip to be as weird as you want. You’re one of the zodiac’s fiercest nonconformists, so this is the ideal transit to let your freak flag fly high for the next seven years! More travel opportunities enter the picture when Jupiter switches gears on June 30th. Hopefully, you’ve saved some of your gains so you can hit the road as often as you like. A cross-country trip might be in order! Pay attention to August. A Solar Eclipse on the 12th is divine for a spontaneous getaway, while a Lunar Eclipse on the 28th signals an end to a work assignment or current position. It’s time to move on, away, and up.
Strength – Challenges are present. Even so, you have the power to overcome every obstacle. Believe in yourself!
Cancer: Jupiter remains in your sign for half of the year, dear Cancer. This means you’re on a major growth spurt! Opportunities to expand your horizons through learning, travel, and spiritual studies are abundant – if you continue to explore, you’ll soar! Of course, Jupiter can make it too easy to put on weight, so it’s wise to watch your overindulgence. January 26th puts Neptune in your career zone, which creates the possibility of finding your dream job. Disciplined Saturn follows suit a few weeks later, giving you a serious case of ambition. Over the next two years, you can steadily climb the ladder of success. Set your sights high and keep going! A financial breakthrough is possible with this year’s two Solar Eclipses. The first one occurs on February 17th and the second on August 12th. New influxes of cash could change your outlook for the better. However, eclipses can be unpredictable – that money could disappear as fast as it arrives. Therefore, you’ll want to create a budget before that happens. Even if you blow money fast, Jupiter’s entrance into your 2nd house on June 30th ensures your income streams remain steady. If you practice smart savings strategies, you’ll enter 2027 with a lot more dough in the bank.
Ace of Cups – A new emotional or romantic beginning is possible. Let go of the past, and welcome the fresh start.
Leo: You never do anything halfway, dear Leo. But 2026 is your year to go ultra-big! Travel may be on your mind when Neptune enters Aries on January 26th, followed by Saturn in mid-February. One way to expand your world is by seeing it – these planetary shifts are like permission slips to trot the globe. Giddy up! Jupiter’s presence in your introspection zone for the first six months makes solo adventures appealing. For example, a week in a silent retreat on a mountain could be revealing and healing. A new relationship enters your life around the Solar Eclipse on February 17th. Could this be a travel buddy or something deeper? Financial surprises are possible around the Lunar Eclipses on March 3rd and August 28th. Keep a close eye on your budget, then, just in case those surprises are the expensive ones. June 30th puts Jupiter in your sign for a full year, a happy cosmic event that promises luck, opportunities, and star power. The world is your runway – so strut your stuff! However, you’ll want to keep indulgences in check because Jupiter has a way of adding extra pounds if you’re careless. The Solar Eclipse on August 12th is your best day for a makeover. If you’re tired of your look, now’s the time for an upgrade. Looking your best ensures you are confident in every spotlight!
Four of Cups – At times, you may not like the options in front of you. It’s okay to say no. Something better is around the corner. Don’t settle.
Virgo: This is an interesting year for you, dear Virgo. Saturn and Neptune move out of your relationship zone by the middle of February, which might feel like relief. After years of challenging situations with loved ones, you’ve learned a lot about boundaries. Even so, those boundaries will be tested, especially around the Lunar Eclipses of March 3rd and August 28th. You’ll need to assert yourself on those days if you want to be treated with respect. Finances may play a role in some of these issues due to Saturn and Neptune taking residence in your 8th house of joint resources. Finding compromise on money matters will be necessary. A new job opportunity may arise around February 17th’s Solar Eclipse – this could be a stunning turn of events. You should consider this position, especially if you are sick of your current workplace. The first half of the year has Jupiter in your social circle, which provides opportunities to welcome new acquaintances into your orbit. Even if you’re the shy type, this transit seems to loosen you up, which makes you appear more approachable. Many of these new friendships could benefit you, so don’t brush off those connections. Introspection and spiritual practices occupy your mind once Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th. Time spent alone could be truly healing. Keep in mind, Jupiter remains here for a year – the more you devote to self-care, the better.
Five of Cups – A loss is possible. Shed your tears and move on. A new beginning awaits.
Libra: Relationships get serious this year, dear Libra. Neptune and Saturn occupy your 7th house of partnerships by the middle of February, which puts love and commitment on the front burner for a few years. Do you want to get married? Start a joint venture? Or move in together? It’s the right time to begin making plans! The Solar Eclipse on February 17th indicates a new romantic beginning, engagement, or a surprise pregnancy. Whatever happens around that day could change your situation drastically. The first half of 2026 is dynamite for your career, thanks to Jupiter gracing your 10th house. This is your chance to go for the gold – don’t hold back! You could end up with a prime position by mid-year. Your social circle expands when Jupiter darts into Leo on June 30th. New friends may enter your life, or you might attend more parties than normal. Either way, this will satisfy your need to connect with others (so Libra!). The Solar Eclipse on August 12th is fantastic for gathering with your crew. Host a party at a cool club or say yes to an invite – you never know who you might meet when you’re out and about. Your health needs attention on March 3rd and August 28th when the Lunar Eclipses occur. Don’t overdo it on those days. Instead, look for ways to prioritize your well-being. A visit with a health care practitioner can help you create the best regimen.
Nine of Cups – Your wish gets fulfilled. Think big – the Universe wants to shower you with blessings.
Scorpio: You’re moving into an epic career year, dear Scorpio. Saturn and Neptune enter your 6th house of work by the middle of February, the perfect planetary duo for building your dream job. Are you happy with your current employment? Want a better position? Or a completely new vocation? It’s all possible if you are willing to do the work. You’re lucky with travel for the first half of the year, due to Jupiter’s transit through your 9th house. A dream trip could be in the cards! Keep your passport nearby for spontaneous adventures. You never know when the travel bug bites! Jupiter enters your 10th house of reputation on June 30th, which gives your career a mega-boost for an entire year. Golden opportunities could fall in your lap, fattening your bank account and moving you up the company ladder. You’ll be able to win hearts and minds, which is excellent news if you’re in a public position. The Solar Eclipse on August 12th could be a career-defining moment. You may receive recognition or a plum assignment that takes your career to new levels you never dreamed possible. Two other eclipses to watch: a Solar Eclipse on February 17th signals a change of residence, while the Lunar Eclipse on August 28th indicates a romantic turning point. Could this be the one or the end? Stay tuned.
Ten of Swords – An ending occurs. What’s done is done. Pick yourself up, dust your shoulders off, and let it go. A new day is on the way.
Sagittarius: Travel is your jam, and this year, you can kick out those jams around the world, dear Sagittarius. But first, let’s talk about love. Saturn and Neptune settle in your true love sector by the middle of February, a combo that could indicate a commitment with an ideal partner. If you’re single, this energy lingers for a few years, so get yourself out there! Already partnered? You can rekindle the flame or strengthen your bond. For Archers who want to expand their family, this is a fantastic time to begin planning. Your ruler, Jupiter, sits pretty in your 8th house of joint resources for the first six months of the year, adding extra dough to your bank account. This could manifest through corporate business, tax breaks, inheritances, or a partnership. It’s also possible your partner may be up for a promotion with a handsome raise. No matter how it arrives, the extra cheddar is sweet!Mighty Jupiter enters your 9th house of long-distance journeys on June 30th, the perfect transit for a world tour! Where do you want to go? Keep your passport handy and be ready to jet off on a moment’s notice. The Solar Eclipses on February 17th and August 12th are terrific for adventures near and far. Let your wanderlust lead the way! Watch your rep on March 3rd when the Lunar Eclipse lands in your 10th house. A misstep could be costly, so it is wise to play it safe. A change of residences is possible when the Lunar Eclipse arrives on August 28th. Perhaps your travels might inspire you to move abroad? Of course, eclipses can be unpredictable – which means the move may be unplanned or due to circumstances beyond your control. In that case, weather the storm and trust you’ll land on your feet (you always do!).
Six of Swords – The year begins on a bumpy note, but soon it eases up. Smooth sailing ahead. An excellent year for travel, especially overseas.
Capricorn: Your ruling planet, Saturn, joins Neptune in your domestic sector on February 13th, dear Capricorn. This could mean you begin to build your dream home, renovate your nest, or take on the responsibility for a family member. The pressure is intense for a few years, but you can create greater security and a gorgeous lair if you knuckle down. New sources of money could show up unexpectedly around the Solar Eclipses on February 17th and August 12th. You tend to worry about your fiscal security, so this is good news. The Lunar Eclipses of March 3rd and August 28th are ideal for a vacation. Getting away from home will do you good, so be sure to schedule an adventure around those dates. Last year saw improvements in your key relationships. This was due to Jupiter hanging tight in the partnership section of your chart, which it continues to do for the first six months of 2026. If you continue to put in the work, you can see significant progress. Of course, if you want to bring new people into your world, Jupiter helps expand your sphere of influence. A change arrives with Jupiter’s entry into your 8th house of joint resources on June 30th. This transit indicates tax breaks, windfalls, alimony, or an inheritance. It’s also possible your partner may make more money, which takes some of the burden off your shoulders. Remember, Jupiter lingers here for a year, so there is plenty of time for your dough to rise. Don’t forget to put as much away as possible. This will ensure you stress less about your financial future.
Five of Swords – Battles are ahead. Some will play dirty. You may be tempted to take the low road. While that may provide a win, it won’t feel good in the long run. Be better.
Aquarius: Pluto has been in your sign for over a year, a transit that promises transformation, dear Aquarius. You’ve been undergoing a gradual upgrade that has been ongoing for many years. Even so, this year seems like the Universe is nudging you to shed the old and make way for the new. Saturn and Neptune’s moves into your mind zone in the middle of February ignite your imagination and mental discipline. You can change habits, dream of a brighter future, and find the will to push past every obstacle. A Solar Eclipse on February 17th is your cue to update your look. However, you might want to think carefully about a radical makeover. Perhaps wait a day or two before committing to that mohawk! Job prospects are favorable in the first half of 2026. Jupiter’s transit through your 6th house opens doors that you never thought possible. Toss your hat in the ring! Your luck with relationships soars when Jupiter heads into Leo on June 30th. Suddenly, all the best people gravitate toward you. This could manifest as a fabulous group of friends, interesting new admirers, helpful business partners, or a true love connection. This lingers for a year, so expect your circle of influence to widen. The Solar Eclipse on August 12th is one to watch – an intriguing new person may enter the picture around that day. They could play a significant role in your life. Guard your cash carefully on March 3rd and August 28th when the Lunar Eclipses hit the money sectors of your chart. A sudden loss is possible, so it’s best to play it as safe as possible.
The Star – You’re in your element. Everything flows beautifully. What you desire becomes your reality.
Pisces: The first few weeks of 2026 feel like you’re emerging from a cosmic test, dear Pisces. Saturn and Neptune have been in your sign for some time, but they officially exit by the middle of February, giving you the green light to spread your wings at last. It’s been hard, but you’ve become wiser and more intuitive, gifts that will continue to serve you well in the years to come. Finances need your attention now. These two astrological heavyweights are situated in the money section of your chart, signaling a need to handle your fiscal business. You can build real security if you plan wisely and stick to a budget. That doesn’t mean you cannot treat yourself. You can. As long as you’re mindful, you can replenish your accounts. The best day for a “me” day is the Solar Eclipse on February 17th. A day spent at the spa will lift your spirits. A relationship may come to an end on the Lunar Eclipse of March 3rd. While this may sting, trust that it is for the best. Despite this, the first half of the year is fabulous for love, thanks to Jupiter in your 5th house of romance. Admirers emerge out of the woodwork, and old flames may attempt to reconnect. You’ll have plenty of choices, so don’t settle! If you’re already in a relationship, this transit of Jupiter could indicate an engagement, marriage, or a baby. So sweet! Opportunities to advance at work increase when Jupiter enters mighty Leo on June 30th. Over the course of a year, you could end up with better options or a major promotion. Your health should improve, too. Speaking of health, the Solar Eclipse on August 12th is an ideal time to start new habits. If you have neglected your body, there is no better time to get back on track. The Lunar Eclipse on August 28th is a chance to let go of an old story that no longer fits the person you’ve become. Even if you feel attached to that narrative, others see you differently. The transformation you’ve undergone is now visible to everyone.
The Fool – The baggage of the past is behind you once and for all. Look ahead! Your new chapter begins this year!
