There are some powerful shifts taking place in 2026. Neptune officially enters the sign of Aries (January 26). Saturn shifts into the sign of Aries (February 13). Chiron trots into the sign of Taurus (June 19). Jupiter blazes into the sign of Leo (June 30). Uranus flies into the sign of Gemini (July 7). The North Node soars into the sign of Aquarius (August 18), altering the eclipse patterns. Venus will station Retrograde in the sign of Scorpio and then direct in the sign of Libra (from October 3 to November 13). There is also major importance of the Mercury retrogrades in 2026, as they take place in water signs (in Pisces from Feb 26 to March 20. In Cancer from June 29 to July 23 and in Scorpio from October 24 to November 13).
In 2026 we are entering into a new 9-year cycle. (2+0+2+6=10=1 with 19 missing in the formula. 1=The Magician, Mercury=thoughts/perception/communication, 10=Wheel of Fortune, Jupiter=growth/expansion/truth and 19=The Sun, Sun=personality/ego/heart). This stimulates new beginnings on many levels and activates the importance of shifting our psychological mindsets (Mercury Retrogrades in Water signs). We are not just shifting our thoughts, but we are shifting the unconscious connection to our thought process and how it affects us. With Saturn and Neptune officially moving into the sign of Aries, new beginnings are occurring, on a personal, structural, and global level. New ideas around the self are triggered and heightened. People start thinking of themselves more, and as one changes who they are it then ripples out into the fabric of humanity, creating waves of change in the consciousness of all.
A new way of BEing is stimulated giving people more clarity and inspiration. Keep in mind that no one said this would be easy, as Aries is also a “warrior”. Uranus moving into the sign of Gemini stimulating a thirst for information. While in this sign that thirst does not want to be watered down but rather taken in bits and pieces. There is a desire for more information but a lack of desire to learn that information. Uranus in Gemini is like a dopamine hit, just give me the right amount of information that will stimulate dopamine, nothing more, nothing less. People can talk a really good game, but can they follow through with what they are saying? Are they speaking the truth or are they simply saying what you want to hear? Contracts will be signed and it may feel like you know what is happening, but I can assure you, you don’t know everything, as there is lots of information that is NOT being shared! Listen deeper than you normally would to what is being communicated. Jupiter moving into the sign of Leo activates the heart and the ego (placing emphasis on unconscious expressions of our one year and a desire for expansion within the self). You will also be attracting what lies in the unconscious mind. Pluto, the planet of transformation is not changing signs, but will remain in the sign of Aquarius (technology), and technology will continue to transform our lives in ways people never realized would happen (North Node in Aquarius).
We need to look at how technology is ruling our lives and keeping us trapped in a glorious illusion of what we think we want and desire. As Chiron introduces itself into the sign of Taurus, we look at what is taking place and then question our personal values and beliefs. Seeing where you place value may activate some wounds that require healing, especially once the Venus retrograde takes place. When we focus on shifting our values, it affects our finances. As many astrologers will be all excited about this energy, and it is rather exciting. I caution you to listen to your own personal truth. Speak and live your truth. If you don’t like what’s going on around you, stand up for yourself. If you don’t like what’s going on within you, investigate who you think you are. Because who you think you are now will be different then who you will be when the year is over.
Happy New Year & New Beginnings;
