2026 General Horoscopes

ARIES
If 2025 was a year of change, then 2026 is the year when all the pieces will finally not just fall into place but lock in. We have never seen all the major planets in the solar system, some of them in one place for decades all move out of one area of your chart and into the next and while some of them had a change of mind and returned to where they began last year, by the end of April, all that will have changed. The one planet who is now locked into place is Pluto, who is not only in his second full year in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, but is here now until 2044. This is something that Uranus’ return to your communication sector on 26th April, where he will stay until 2033 will lock into.

Venus is due to spend a lot of time in your relationship sector this year, moving through from 7th August to 10th September, before retrograding back in again from 25th October to 4th December. Each time spending time with Pluto and Uranus, making this a big year on the communication, social and relationship fronts. However, Uranus doesn’t start the year in your communication sector and instead, back in your income sector, where until leaving last July, he had been since 2019. With the year getting off to an empowered start on the career front and Uranus not leaving until 26th April, this bodes well for a lucrative start to the year as well. This is in the centre of what could be the most lucrative months of 2026, which starts with Venus’ return on 31st March and end with Mars’ departure on 29th June.

Meanwhile, having spent some time in Aries last year before retrograding back out Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will return on 27th January, where he will remain until 2039 and Saturn on 14th February, who until leaving in April 2028 will not only take you into a powerful new three decades long Saturn cycle, but will give you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn Neptune’s dreams into reality. The other big move this year is Jupiter, who will spend the first half of the year promoting growth and expansion on the home, family and/or property fronts, before leaving your home and family sector on 29th June and returning to Leo to begin your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things playful and creative in over a decade.

TAURUS
While on paper there is the same amount of change that there was last year, this is nothing new and instead, the planets are finishing what they began last year. The one planet that has already finished this is Pluto, who after an attempt in 2023 and again in 2024, finally returned to your career sector in November 2024, where he will stay until 2044. Pluto was here last year, when for the first time in 77 years Uranus returned to your income sector, only to retrograde back out and back into Taurus four months later, where he begins the year. However, after a direct turn on 5th February, Uranus, the third of the three outer planets on the move, will return to your income sector on 26th April, where he will stay until May 2033.

This is right in the heart of what could be the most lucrative months of 2026, which will run from Venus, the planet of money’s return on 6th March to Mars’ departure on 19th May. As each planet returns, including Uranus, they will all form a friendly aspect to Pluto in your career sector as they return. That will be the case when the faster planets return to begin the most active months of the year on the job front, which will kick off with Venus’ return on 7th August and end with her departure on 4th December. In that time, Venus will leave but retrograde back in for a do over, with the Sun and Mercury moving through in between to keep her seat warm. As each returns, they will spend their early days at a friendly aspect to Uranus and Pluto, setting the scene for what will be a good year across the income, work and career fronts.

Meanwhile, other major planets on the move this year are Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. While for Jupiter this is a given, ending his 12 month focus on all aspects of communication on 29th June, before returning to spend the next 13 months in your home and family sector, kicking off your biggest year for growth and expansion on the home, family and/or property fronts in over a decade. As for Saturn and Neptune, who just over six weeks into the year will have left your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, where in Neptune’s case he has been since 2012 and Saturn since March 2023 and will have returned to a nostalgic and reflective but also intuitive and imaginative part of your chart. On the one hand, this brings you to the end of your current three decade long Saturn cycle, with a chance to start preparing for his return to Taurus in 2028. On the other hand, this is where Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams is going to call home for the next 13 years.

GEMINI
While Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are all on the move this year and in the case of the last two this will be in tandem, this is a powerful link between them that will see them start the year on the same page, go their separate ways for a few months and then come back together again in the second half of the year, but in a completely different form. For the first time in 12 years, you begin the year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in your income sector, where he has been since June 2025. Not leaving until 29th June but in retrograde motion until 11th March, you have just passed the halfway point in what Jupiter is working to make your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade. When Jupiter returned last year, Neptune and Saturn had left your career sector, only to retrograde back a few months later.

As you move into 2026 Saturn and Neptune are still here, but back in direct motion and getting ready to leave, Neptune on 27th January and Saturn on 14th February. This is when they will part ways with Jupiter, but the months they spent there, along with some active final three months of 2025 on the job front, leave him and income potential well supported. Especially with the faster planets taking over from where Neptune and Saturn leave off, starting with Mercury’s return to your career sector on 7th February and ending with Mars’ departure on 10th April. By then, Jupiter will be back in direct motion and ready to make his final months as lucrative as possible.

Helping with that will be when the faster planets move through your income sector, starting with Venus, the planet of money’s return on 19th May and ending with Mars’ departure on 28th September. Until Jupiter leaves on 29th June, having Venus here will bring the element of luck and the laws of attraction into play. Meanwhile, while that continues, this will see Jupiter return to your communication sector, where until leaving in July 2027, he will work to expand and enhance all aspects of communication. This is also when Jupiter will get to reunite with Neptune and Saturn, who by then will be in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, Neptune until 2039 and Saturn until 2028.

CANCER
Be warned, the tone of this year is going to shift, but in a way that is exciting professionally and financially, but also brings a call to not only hold onto a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure, but the dream itself. No matter how busy life got, since his return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in 2012 and until he left in March 2025, you have had Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams keeping the dream and spirit of adventure alive and as you move into 2026, he is still here. Neptune had been gone for seven months before retrograding back and while Saturn, who had been there since March 2023 also left last month, within four months he was back and starts the year here as well.

While they were gone, Saturn and Neptune were in your career sector, where they were laying down foundations for their return this year and this time, not just for a few months. Until then, they are focused on the legacy they will leave behind on the adventurous side of life’s fence and how this can guard against life becoming all work and no play. Neptune will leave on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime, while until leaving on 14th February, not to return for another three decades, Saturn will be giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to keep that dream alive. This won’t end all planetary activity in an adventurous part of your chart for the year, with the faster planets moving through from 7th February to 10th April.

However, this is the point where the years of continuous planetary activity in an adventurous part of your chart will end and the transition onto the busy side of life’s fence will be complete. When Neptune returns to your career sector on 27th January, it is to spend the next 13 years here while when Saturn returns on 14th February, he will have until April 2028 to work with Neptune, who are now a well oiled team when it comes to doing whatever it takes for as long as it takes to turn the dream into reality. Helping to cement this new era is when the faster planets move through your career sector from 6th March to 19th May. It is just over a month later that on 29th June, Jupiter will return to your income sector to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade. Until then, Jupiter is in Cancer, where he is laying down the foundations for a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion.

LEO
On the one hand, this is a year of two halves, while on the other hand, the pieces that have been shuffled and up in the air for much of 2025 are now falling into place. While the event that literally splits the year in two is Jupiter’s departure from a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and return to Leo on 30th June, this is when everything else will make sense. The fact that until the closing hours of the first half of 2025 Jupiter is in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, but you will begin July and the second half of the year with Jupiter in his first full day in Leo, truly makes this a year of two halves, but it is far more significant than that. For in the first half of the year you are living in the past and the second half in the future, with an old 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion drawing to a close in order for another to begin.

Until leaving Cancer, you are in the final months of a 12 year cycle and in retrograde motion until 11th March, the process of closing old doors is well underway. By the time Jupiter turns to Leo on 30th June to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion, your luckiest and most expansive year in over a decade and a year where there is the potential for major new beginnings, you will be ready to move on. This is also when Saturn and Neptune’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery will make sense, for when Jupiter returns, he will move into a friendly aspect to and will remain in harmony with both until he leaves Leo in July 2027. With Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returning on 27th January and Saturn, the planet that can give you the power to move mountains if you have to returning on 14th February, for months, this is something you will have been preparing for.

These are not the only slow outer planets on the move this year, with Uranus, who after six years left your career sector last year only to retrograde back in four months later also getting ready to leave, this time not returning again for another eight decades. Until then, with a lot of activity in your work sector in January, this will get the new professional year off to an empowered start. Uranus is here until 26th April, by which time the faster planets, starting with Venus’ return on 31st March and ending with Mars’ departure on 29th June, will be there to lock his influence into place. Meanwhile, this will see Uranus return to your communication sector, where he will not only spend the next six years, but resume a partnership he formed with Pluto in your relationship sector last year.

VIRGO
While 2026 is another year of big change, in every case this is in order to complete what began last year, locking the slower outer planets into a position they will maintain for years to come. Pluto was the first planet to complete that process, with the planet of change and transformation successfully completing his transition into your work sector in November 2024, where he will remain until 2044. However, professionally that transition is still underway, for while Uranus returned to your career sector last July for the first time in 77 years, he retrograded back out four months later. Uranus begins 2026 where he began 2025, back in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, where he had been since 2019. This coincided with Pluto’s final years in a playful and creative part of your chart, which is why they are used to working together.

Uranus begins the year still in retrograde motion, but a direct turn on 5th February will see him turn around and start heading back out again, something that on 26th April will see him return to your career sector, where he will remain until 2033. This locks into place a new partnership between Pluto and Uranus, one forged over many years on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, but now centred on the job and career fronts. Pluto and Uranus will not only spend much of the next two years closely aligned, but so too will the planets returning to your income, work and career sectors this year. Capitalising on this is the extra time that Venus will spend in your income sector this year, with the period from 7th August to 4th December some of the most lucrative of the year and some of the best across the income, work and career fronts.

Meanwhile, Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter are changing and then reforming a similar partnership. Jupiter will begin the year in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, putting him in partnership with Neptune and Saturn, who will begin the year in your relationship sector. While Neptune, who first returned in 2012 will leave on 27th January and Saturn, who first returned in March 2023 on 14th February, since Jupiter returned in June 2025, they have been working in tandem, getting the year off to a powerful start when it comes to friendship and relationship building. This will see Saturn and Neptune shift their focus onto money matters, something that will put Jupiter back into harmony with them when he returns to a nostalgic and reflective but also intuitive and imaginative part of your chart on 30th June to begin the wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion.

LIBRA
While in terms of the number of shifts the major outer planets are making this year there is just as much change in 2026 as there was in 2025, in every case this is nothing new and instead, is completing what began then and also locking this into place. We have never and will never again see so many outer planets change position at the same time as we are seeing over the course of 2025 and 2026, but the difference this year is that there are no surprises and instead, a continuation of last year. If 2025 was part one, then 2026 is part two. By the time you moved into 2025 Pluto, the planet of change and transformation and the planet that began it all, had only just weeks earlier finished his transition into a playful and creative part of your chart, where he will stay now until 2044.

The next planet to shift was Neptune, who in your work sector since 2012 left in March 2025, only to retrograde back in seven months later while Saturn, who had been there since March 2023 left at the end of May, only to return just over three months later. Both are still here as you move into 2025 but are back in direct motion and getting ready to leave, in Neptune’s case, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn, not for another three decades. Neptune will leave on 27th January and Saturn on 14th February, right in the heart of what will be some of the most active months of the year on the job front, starting with Mercury’s return on 7th February and ending with Mars’ departure on 10th April.

With Jupiter in your career sector until 30th June and the faster planets moving through from Venus’ return on 19th May to Mars’ departure on 28th September, despite their departure, this is going to be a big year on the job and career fronts. However, while this is happening, this will see Neptune return to your relationship sector on 27th January, where he will remain for the next 13 years and Saturn on 14th February, where he will remain until 2028. Meanwhile Uranus, who after six years left your financial sector in July 2025, also retrograded back, finally turning direct and then leaving again on 5th February, before leaving on 26th April and then not returning again for another eight decades. This will see Uranus complete his transition into your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, where he will stay until 2033, all while closely aligned with Pluto in a playful and creative part of your chart.

SCORPIO
There are more big changes this year, but in a way that completes what began last year and then had a change of mind, before finally committing to that shift, which for you means a shift away from the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and onto the busy or professional side of life’s fence. However, not all at once and with enough of a crossover to ensure you have the right balance or at least buying you time to put the right guardrails in place. The shift began in March 2025, when in a playful and creative part of your chart since 2012 Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams left as did Saturn, who had been here since March 2023, two months later. This allowed Neptune to spend seven months in your work sector before retrograding back out and Saturn three months before doing the same.

In between Saturn’s departure on 25th May to his return on 1st September 2025, Jupiter has returned to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and as you move into 2026, all three are still here, closely aligned and working in harmony. However, while Jupiter is here until 30th June, Neptune will leave a playful and creative part of your chart on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn on 14th February, not to return for another three decades. Instead, this will see Neptune return to your work sector, where he will stay until 2033 and Saturn, where he will stay until 2028. They will be firmly established by the time when, on 30th June, Jupiter returns to your career sector to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade.

With the faster planets moving through a playful and creative part of your chart from 7th February to 10th April, through your work sector from 20th March to 19th May and your career sector from 13th June to 26th November, that overlapping will help as you transition from a year that begins with a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence to one that will end with a heavy lean towards the busy or professional side of life’s fence. Meanwhile Uranus, who left your relationship sector last year but returned four months later is still here, but will leave on 26th April, ending a journey that began in 2019. This will see Uranus, the planet that is focused on all things real and authentic, settle into your financial sector, where he will stay for the next six years.

SAGITTARIUS
While the big changes that began in 2025 will continue this year, these aren’t new changes and instead a continuation of the change that took place last year, which as far as the outer planets are concerned, will be complete and locked in place within the first four months of the year. This will bring to an end the biggest major reshuffling of the deck in our lifetime, which began in 2023 when Pluto, the planet of change and transformation began transitioning out of your income sector, where he had been since 2008 and into your communication sector, where he will remain until 2044. Pluto finished his transition into your communication sector less than six weeks before moving into 2025, when over the course of just a few months Uranus, Neptune and Saturn all left where they had been for years and started something new, before turning retrograde and coming back.

Neptune and Saturn both start 2026 in your home and family sector, where they had also begun 2025, though they are only back to tie up loose ends. Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will leave again on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn on 14th February, not to return for another three decades. This is in the heart of the most active months of the year on the home front, with the faster planets having until 10th April to bring this chapter home. Meanwhile, this will see Neptune return to a playful and creative part of your chart where he will stay for the next 13 years and Saturn, who will remain here until 2028. This will have exciting implications while creating a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, when Jupiter returns to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 30th June.

Not leaving until July 2027, Jupiter will work closely with Neptune and Saturn over that time. While Jupiter is not a major outer planet and the planet of luck and expansion is always going to change position at some point in the year, he will benefit from these outer shifts and this includes his final months in your financial sector and of what he is working to make a big year for financial growth and expansion. The other outer planet on the move is Uranus, who after six years left your work sector and returned to your relationship sector in July 2025, only to return four months later. Uranus will leave again on 26th April, not to return to your work sector for another eight decades, while settling into your relationship sector, where he will spend the next six years, all of them with the support of Pluto in your communication sector.

CAPRICORN
In November 2024 Pluto, the planet of change and transformation left Capricorn, where he had been since 2008 and while it took him several attempts from first trying to leave in March 2023, this brought this chapter to an end, while marking his transition into your income sector, where he will remain in 2044. Pluto not only led the way when it comes to the major changes that began in 2025 and will culminate in 2026, but this positions him for Uranus’ return to your career sector on 26th April, where he will remain for the next six years. Uranus was just one of the major planets that left a position they had been in for years to venture into something brand new.

In Uranus’ case, by the time he left a playful and creative part of your chart in July 2025, he had been there for six years, while it had been 77 years since he was last in your work sector. Four months later Uranus was back and he starts the year in a playful and creative part of your chart, where he has been since 2019. However, on 26th April, Uranus will leave again, this time not to return for another eight decades, while locking into position in your work sector for the next six years. However, while working with Pluto this sets the scene for not just a big year on the income and job fronts but for years to come, life is unlikely to become all work and no play or at least not yet.

While Uranus is settling into his early months in your work sector, the faster planets will be moving through a playful and creative part of your chart, starting with Venus’ return on 31st March and running through to when Mars leaves on 29th June. Within two weeks, the first planets will begin returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, starting with Venus’ return on 10th July through to when the Sun leaves on 23rd September, only for Mars to return on 26th November, but then not leave until February 2027. Meanwhile, while having begun their transition out of your relationship sector last year, Neptune will finally leave on 27th January and Saturn on 14th February, with Jupiter not leaving your relationship sector until 30th June, this is something that can keep the communication lines open.

AQUARIUS
In one sense, while you are not immune to the major changes taking place over the course of 2025 and 2026, you are immune to the shifting sands and the changes that having every major planet in the solar system enter a period of change at the same time. That is because you lead the charge and the biggest change or shift of them all that is felt personally is already behind you and locked into place, with the rest is just a case of everything else falling into position. That shift was Pluto, the planet of change and transformation’s protracted transition into Aquarius that began in March 2023, but didn’t end until he returned in November 2024, where he will stay now until 2044. This is the start of the most important 20 years for personal growth in your lifetime.

Meanwhile Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, all slower outer planets that began their shifts last year, aren’t there yet, but by the end of April, all those processes will be complete as well. This is something that began in March 2025, when in your income sector since 2012 Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams left and returned to your communication sector for the first time in our lifetime, followed by Saturn three months later. Both have since retrograded back and both start the year back in your income sector, but not for long, with Neptune leaving on 27th January, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn on 14th February, not to return for another three decades.

This is not only in the heart of what will be some of the most lucrative months of the year, starting Mercury’s return on 7th February and running through to Mars’ departure on 10th April, but just as for the first time in 12 years, you are starting the year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in your work sector. Jupiter has worked closely with Jupiter and Neptune since returning in June 2025 and will continue to benefit from this until he leaves your work sector on 30th June. This is when he will team up with Neptune and Saturn again, this time benefiting from having them in your communication sector throughout the 13 months he will spend in your relationship sector. The last planet to complete his transition is Uranus, who will complete his transition out of your home and family sector, where he has been since 2019 and into a playful and creative part of your chart, where he will remain for the next six years on 26th April.

PISCES
What has made 2025 and 2026 synonymous with change is that every outer planet in the solar system is shifting position, something that for even one in a given year is rare, let alone all at once. While the faster planets will continue the annual orbit through the heavens, the outer planets, those that shape the background of our lives or the never changing wallpaper, all decided at the same time that it was time for a change. From November 2024 to May 2025 every single one changed but within months, all but one had a change of mind, returning to where they began the year but ready this year to finish what they started. This major cosmic shift will have ended by the end of April and it will be years before even one of them makes another change.

So while 2026 is still a year of change, only in the first four months and only to finish what began last year, rather than introduce anything new. It begins on 27th January, when Neptune, who having been in Pisces since 2012 left at the end of March 2025, only to retrograde back in seven months. Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams and your ruling planet won’t be back again in our lifetime, making it important to move into 2026 with a dream while until leaving on 14th February, with Saturn’s resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. This is when, after spending several months in your income sector last year, Neptune will now return to stay for the next 13 years and Saturn until 2008. This will be especially significant when on 30th June Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion returns to your work sector to begin your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade.

Until then, until leaving a playful and creative part of your chart on 30th June, Jupiter will be helping to maintain a balance between work and play, after what was a busy end to 2025. Meanwhile, the last of the outer planets to complete his transition is Uranus, who had left your communication sector in July 2025, only to retrograde back in four months later. Not turning direct until 5th February, as well as getting serious about having the communication lines open, this will make it easier to give the past and unsaid words a voice. Then on 26th April, having returned to your home and family sector for the first time in eight decades to spend a few months here last year, Uranus will return to spend the next six years here. This begins some powerful years on the home, family and/or property fronts.
