2026 is a year in which we are reclaiming our power. We are looking for a new beginning, which will be cosmically possible. Many celestial movements are a do-over from 2025—and this time around, we can leverage our knowledge and experience to make informed decisions and drive advancements.
To sum up the astrology, the dates below are major cosmic turning points in the year:
2026 brings four eclipses: an annular solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3, a total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12, and a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28. The Nodes of Destiny, which move on the lunar axis and show the work we need to do to improve our lives, enters Aquarius and Leo on July 26. For the next year and a half, we will be integrating technology and philanthropy into our lives, while being community driven.
Mercury retrograde occurs in the three water signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio) from February 26 to March 20 in Pisces, June 29 to July 23 in Cancer, and October 24 to November 13 in Scorpio. They serve as a tender moment to reflect.
Venus’s moonwalk in Scorpio and Libra transpires between October 3 and November 13, permitting us to find ways to feel comfortable in our skin and deal with financial matters.
Many planets are changing signs, cultivating new dynamics. Dreamy Neptune re-enters Aries on January 26, propelling us to start over and be the best versions of ourselves. Austere Saturn swings around into Aries on February 13, (Saturn and Venus form a conjunction on February 20th, which is an epic time for visionaries), Uranus sprints into Gemini again on April 25, helping us find unique and innovative modes of communication. Jupiter glides into Leo on June 30, broadening our acceptance and creativity.
Read your 2026 horoscope below:
Aries
You demand authority, prestige, and supremacy in 2026. When honorable Saturn and desirable Neptune connect with your Sun sign on February 20, you’ll be able to inspire people with your views and words. Your wisdom will be able to help the masses, especially when the karmic Nodes of Destiny enter the Aquarius and Leo lunar axis on July 26, for the next year and a half, setting off a chain of events that motivate you to take a stand and get the respect you deserve.
Taurus
As the year progresses, you will feel freer and able to break out of the cycle you’ve be been in for seven years. The good news is that Jupiter’s entrance into Leo on June 30 gives you a chance to embrace your newly established foundation. The caveat is that your stability will be tested again when Mercury and Venus retrograde start their planetary moonwalk in the fall, throwing your sensitivities off balance. Temper your bullish ways by being more flexible and open to healing.
Gemini
You are receiving accolades and admiration from your coworkers and clients, making you feel as if you’re on top of the world. It truly is your lean moment; however, you’re getting the itch that there is more to your professional aspirations, urging you to explore more avenues on April 25, when revolutionary and rebellious Uranus snakes up your sign. At that time, you’ll be transported back to the summer of 2025, when you were searching for side hustles and adventures to put your verve into.
Cancer
Expensive Jupiter is giving you a glow-up, allowing you to embrace your extraordinary traits, putting you in the mood to explore and travel. Getting out of your comfort zone is key to your personal success. Just be careful not to plan a trip during the summer’s Mercury retrograde between June 29 and July 23, because the planet of travel is moonwalking on your sign, which means there might be some mishaps ahead or a long flight serendipitously seated next to your ex-partner.
Leo
The year ahead brings mixed emotions to your aura and spirit. The eclipses on February 17 and August 12, combined with Jupiter and the South Node’s entrance into your fierce sign on June 30 and July 26, are going to make you feel like you’re not receiving enough love and attention from others, while giving you abundance and happiness. The lesson is to focus on how you can care for yourself without seeking outside validation. Are you up for the challenge? You got this, Leo!
Virgo
Love is the core theme of 2026 that you are paying attention to and giving your time to. The eclipses on March 3 and August 28 are bringing you closer to the commitment you want. In Mercurial form, you are overthinking the terms of the relationship and not enjoying the moments with your significant other. Do not let fear consume your mind and create problems that are a projection of former insecurities. Be at peace with your heart and be present in your romantic liaison.
Libra
There are two magical Venus Star Points, one on January 6 in Capricorn and another on October 23rd in Scorpio, during retrograde. Both of these transits are providing you with insight into your spending habits, prompting you to purchase quality items that have lasting value. Your bottom line is that it’s best to splurge to ensure you do not have to replace your favorite designer handbags that are no longer in production. The worth is found in the beauty and rarity. Value what you have.
Scorpio
Mercury and Venus are backsliding on your Sun sign this autumn, making the end of October and mid-November times when you must center yourself by meditating on what’s important to you. You may decide to enchant your life with more self-care in an effort to mend yourself. What matters most is how you view yourself, not what others think. The judgments of others aren’t going to affect you and easy to brush off. The awesomest flex is being you. You’ll realize this on October 23.
Sagittarius
Wild card Uranus’s re-entrance into Gemini on August 25 is going to make you feel as though you’re on a roller coaster. Since your sign delights in thrills, it may be exhilarating. This is a moment of throwing caution to the wind, falling in and out of love with your one and only, chasing rainbows, and fulfilling your desires. Keep both feet on the ground and your head out of the clouds to avoid getting caught up in yourself that you forget about everyone else.
Capricorn
Starting February 20, you will feel an immediate shift in your energy. Looking back and conducting research on your family will help you understand your history. A reflective and mindful sign, you will take the knowledge you learn about your lineage seriously and align with your ancestors in your quest for knowledge and self-exploration. On occasion, you might question the journey and want to veer off the path, but overall, you’ll aim to stay the course in an effort to transcend, evolve, and establish roots.
Aquarius
There is an air of competitiveness surrounding you. A few acquaintances are jealous of the fact that you’re in the limelight. The solar eclipse on February 17, combined with the North Node aligning with your sign for the next eighteen months, beginning on July 26, makes you a dominant figure. The vibe is intensified when Jupiter opposes Pluto on July 20. In the end, you’ll show everyone that you’re a boss. People might try to throw you off your throne, but you’ll win every time.
Pisces
The winter and summer of 2026 are a time to refresh your contact list, as you are releasing people who haven’t been providing you with the same level of companionship during the eclipses of March 3 and August 28. Mercury’s backward spin between February 26 and March 20 allows you to reassess and take a step back to see if certain connections are worth keeping. Only the most genuine friends will remain. With them by your side, you’ll feel like you are walking on sunshine.
