Aries (21 March to 20 April)

Your ambitions sector receives a powerful boost as the year begins, Aries, with your ruler Mars aligning with the Sun and Venus, the planet of money, all residing in your success zone. However, with Saturn and Neptune in your psychological sector squaring off against business-minded Mercury, any plans for expansion or self-promotion need to be carefully considered.

There may be moments this year when it feels like you have one foot in the past and one in the present. You may also find your physical energy limited, so it’s important to prioritise your efforts wisely. While there could be many promising conversations, be careful not to overcommit yourself.

What can help is forming new contacts, many of which may come through work, where you’re likely to be drawn to established and experienced individuals. Uranus brings excitement and possibilities as the year develops, and the arrival of lucky Jupiter in sister fire sign Leo at the end of June, along with its angle to Saturn in your sign on the 21st of August, is a wonderful platform to spring forwards.

In fact, August’s Solar Eclipse and its six-month backdrop can be the most dynamic for you for nine years. Do use it to showcase your passion and flair.

Taurus (21 April to 21 May)

Your ruling planet Venus is close to passionate Mars and the powerful Sun as 2026 unfolds, giving you a hunger for change. As a sign that cherishes stability, this may come as a surprise or feel a little challenging.

However, restless Uranus has been signalling the need for freshness or new starts for some time, and it may be your home or career that feels ready for a reset. If you’re considering new investments, particularly those involving close partnerships, proceed with your usual caution.

Later in the year, working for yourself or from home could become especially appealing, particularly if it helps you balance daily or family responsibilities. In love, someone strikingly different could capture your imagination. Yet despite the attraction of new beginnings, having a base where you feel safe, content, and close to stimulating local activities can also appeal.

If you would like to start a family or are hoping for a new addition, this is an area that can bring joy from August. However, as the North Node returns to your sector of success, whatever opportunities come up for you, do be guided by where you will feel most at ease.

Gemini (22 May to 21 June)

So, Gemini, what’s your ruler, the chatty Mercury, up to as we step into the new year? It starts in your relationship sector but faces challenges from Saturn, Neptune, and the Sun/Moon midpoint in Pisces, your zone of broader connections, as well as from restless Uranus in your sector of secrets. This suggests you’ll need to be mindful in your communications.

In fact, all the Mercury Retrogrades this year are in Water Signs, asking you to embrace your intuition as much as logic. Indeed, what’s said, by you or to you, will matter less than the intention behind the words.

Still, where you can keep things grounded and sincere, this could be a time of improved finances and strong, close alliances. As the year unfolds, your penchant for stimulating ideas and company is invigorated, and some Twins will be keen to travel further afield or learn a new subject.

With Uranus returning to your sign on the 26th of April, and a stunning Solar Eclipse on the 12th of August, you have the celestial platform to truly sparkle. New longer-term hopes will need to be clarified, but this process will help you become more conscious of what, and who, really matters.

Cancer (22 June to 23 July)

A significant relationship could enter your life in 2026, Cancer, but it may require you to believe it’s truly possible. If romantic connection is what you seek, the planets align beautifully. If not, meaningful friendships or professional alliances may flourish.

Connections rooted in shared interests or higher ideals have the best chance of thriving. This is a year to establish firmer boundaries, especially around duties and responsibilities. Trying to juggle too much could lead to stress, so give yourself permission to say no when needed.

Everyday finances can be boosted from mid-year, but the shift of the Nodal Axis in late July can see you grappling with balancing your values with what you feel comfortable with, in terms of your work or investments.

When it comes to your professional situation, Saturn and Neptune suggest that change is possible. As a Water Sign, how things feel is very important to you, and if a role at the start of the year no longer gives you a sense of deeper purpose, it is likely to make way. Anything with spiritual, healing, or caring strands can appeal.

Leo (24 July to 23 August)

At the end of June, expansive Jupiter enters your sign for the first time in twelve years, uplifting your mood and encouraging self-expression. Still, much of the year’s focus may be on the day-to-day — getting your routines, habits, or physical well-being running more efficiently.

Even if everything seems fine, fine-tuning areas like diet, exercise, and rest could be beneficial. If you’re a pet lover, a new companion may arrive and prove to be a delightful addition.

Shared finances may pose some challenges, especially if others don’t fully support your creative ideas. Expect ongoing shifts in your love life, particularly around what you want and what you’re willing to give.

With the North Node following from a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 17th of February, you begin an eighteen-month period of examining where you may be too rooted in what or who you know, with the potential to meet someone who truly matches you.

A stunning Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 12th of August, along with an exceptionally rare but uplifting planetary alliance on the 21st of August, the first since 2008, can give you a wonderful boost and power you up in the most positive and productive ways.

Virgo (24 August to 23 September)

Transforming Pluto continues to urge change around your work, career, or everyday routines. While your instinct may be to maintain the status quo, it’s wise to acknowledge how rapidly the world is evolving. Embracing potential now may be better than playing catch-up later.

As Uranus moves back to the most influential and worldly part of your chart on the 26th of April, it urges you to be open to fresh possibilities. Do know, however, that 2026 offers a chance to express your creativity, flair, and sense of fun, supported by your eye for detail and dedication.

Don’t underestimate your unique talents. Keeping family communication open will be essential. From August, you may also find yourself embracing new approaches to wellness, diet, healing, and spirituality.

See this as an opportunity to revitalise all parts of your approach, even those that have worked well in the past. Small refinements can have significant positive outcomes. The 28th of August is particularly significant – the last Lunar Eclipse of a series that has seesawed between Virgo and Pisces for the last eighteen months – and may suggest someone at work intrigues you through to the year’s end.

Libra (24 September to 23 October)

Your ruler Venus begins the year in a very positive position, forming desirable links with both the Sun and Mars. This is perfect if you’re looking to move house, redecorate, or expand your family. These areas have likely faced challenges since 2008, but now you can start seeing positive returns.

Jupiter supports your career early in the year, and with hard work, tangible progress is possible. Just be mindful of your energy – don’t overthink, and stick to a wellness routine that challenges your sweet tooth.

When it comes to showcasing your talents, confidence will attract the right kind of attention and bring exciting new connections. With Saturn and Neptune forging an alliance on the 18th of February, this signifies a two-year period that could prove fateful for key relationships of all kinds.

With the planet of freedom returning to your most adventurous zone from the end of April, the last half of 2026 can be blessed with freshness and new beginnings. Stale relationships may make way for a series of exciting new friendships and associations. After the heaviness of recent years, you can truly appreciate this new dynamic and uplifting vibe.

Scorpio (24 October to 22 November)

Your ideas and the way you express them can have significant impact this year, Scorpio. If you’re inspired, others are likely to be captivated too. However, 2026 isn’t ideal for risky speculation.

Lean into your strengths – your shrewdness and analytical nature – to guide you through decisions. In love, if there’s been tension, you may need to work harder to see things from your partner’s perspective. Honest conversations can shift stuck energies, even if you don’t fully agree.

Single? Consider joining a local group – it could be a relaxed and natural way to meet someone meaningful.

At work, you need to feel personal satisfaction. Working hard without feeling valued could be a sticking point. Yet if you have ambitions to provide a service, lucky Jupiter’s help from mid-year can push you to consider self-employment or applying for roles where you can truly shine.

The first Solar Eclipse in your sector of success for nine years on the 12th of August can give you extra momentum and self-belief, elevating you into a more visible or responsible role.

Sagittarius (23 November to 21 December)

For the third consecutive Solar Return, conversational Mercury starts the year in your sign, Sagittarius. Your ideas can flow from this, but be mindful of trying to cram too much into your schedule. Overextending yourself could lead to frustration, so pace yourself and prioritise home, emotional, and family matters.

On the bright side, finances look promising, particularly if you’ve been working diligently. From the end of June, you’ll likely feel less burdened and more ready to explore, celebrate, or treat yourself to a big holiday or a new mode of transport.

Your appetite for information and knowledge is often strong, but the last six months of 2026 can spark this even more as your ruler occupies the charismatic sign of Leo, which shares your fire rulership. Positive exchanges can follow, and anything or anyone that broadens your horizons will appeal.

If you have been considering learning to drive, learning a language, embarking on higher education, or expanding your qualifications, the portents are highly supportive.

Capricorn (22 December to 20 January)

You’re known as the Steady Eddie of the zodiac, Capricorn, but there’s far more to you. Innovation-seeker Uranus has encouraged you to be more dynamic in recent years, and your mix of wisdom, hard work, and vision has paid off.

This year offers another opportunity to push ahead, especially in the first half of the year when your fresh ideas can make people more aware of your talents. So do be bold.

Action planet Mars starts 2026 in your sign, where he loves to be, and joins forces with the Sun and Venus, giving you drive and magnetic charm. Romance can sparkle, especially if you take the lead.

Still, tending to your home life and foundations remains important throughout the year. If you’re someone who enjoys DIY or renovations, what you do this year could have lasting benefits. What may be a tender area is family or emotional strands, but openness to seeing where you or others differ can pay dividends.

In the second half of 2026, you can start to reap the rewards of your passion and commitment. Long-term financial prospects come under particularly auspicious influences from August.

Aquarius (21 January to 19 February)

Your forward thinking and networking can pay off handsomely in 2026, Aquarius. With both fortunate Jupiter and the karmic North Node benefiting you from mid-year, and a Solar Eclipse on the 17th of February launching a new 19-year cycle, you’re entering a significant new chapter.

Early in the year, however, you may need to tie up loose emotional ends. Jupiter supports collaborations, but Mercury’s initial square to Saturn warns against being overly idealistic. Mixing business with pleasure can work, but clear boundaries are vital.

By the end of April, as Uranus re-enters fellow Air Sign Gemini, the promise of a fresh start grows stronger. People may see you as very different, but this year your uniqueness is celebrated, helping you emerge into the limelight.

Finances can revive too. However, the area most likely to bring joy is your connections to others. Collaborations and partnerships can bring real serendipity from August, particularly where you can retain your personal space while cooperating for the common good. Some Water Bearers could meet a significant other from then.

Pisces (20 February to 20 March)

Saturn may have weighed down your energy over the past two years, and Pluto has prompted deep introspection around long-standing issues. Still, you begin 2026 with a renewed sense of optimism — especially if you can network and connect with like-minded souls.

When it comes to professional goals, clarity is essential; if you’re unsure, sit tight. From mid-February, you may start re-evaluating your values and approach to money and possessions. Focus on consolidation and managing resources wisely.

Jupiter supports entrepreneurial efforts early in the year, but as time goes on, you may feel ready to release anything, or anyone, that stifles your growth. A home move or creating more space is also possible.

By September, a finely balanced decision you have been contemplating for some time, possibly around work, will be made, and it will be for the best. You can be very dedicated and self-sacrificing, but balancing your own welfare, time, and energy will become something you’re determined to do.

This can see you decide to give up something which, while comforting, may not be best for your system. So this can be a year when calorific goodies make way, or anything else that isn’t especially virtuous.
