It’s a year of incredible and unprecedented astrological shifts. Neptune and Saturn enter Aries (January 26 and February 14), coming together on February 20, which only happens once every 36 years.
Our collective and individual boundaries or rulebook may be blurred, with dissolving structures and significant historical events culminating. To put this into perspective, look back to 1989, the last time this occurred, in the zodiac sign Capricorn.
On April 26 Uranus enters Gemini, creating excitement for this air sign until May 2033. As this planet conspires with Pluto in Aquarius until 2029, we may bear witness to innovations that transform the way we learn, teach, interact, and process information.
June 30 sees Jupiter enter fire sign Leo, then on July 20, this celestial giant harmonises with Neptune and Uranus, and opposes Pluto. This rare configuration of planets is set to affect those born either on the 25th or the 26th of the month. A Total Solar Eclipse on August 12 amplifies what’s getting underway, with significant new beginnings that influence the remainder of 2026.
