Welcome to your guide to the Astrology of 2026! The year ahead is packed with major astrological events, setting the stage for a continued period of profound change which was set into motion in 2025, when 3 of the slower-moving outer planets entered new signs, then retrograded back into their previous signs in the fall to finish up business. The planets that entered new signs in 2025 will re-enter those signs for the long haul, with Saturn and Neptune entering Aries this winter, and Uranus re-entering Gemini in the spring.

The trine between Jupiter and Saturn, lasting intermittently until 2027, is currently in its first powerful peak in the receptive water signs of Cancer and Pisces (peaking around November 6th). This rare, flowing aspect creates an ongoing opportunity to harmonize your expansive dreams with practical reality.

Saturn enters Pisces on March 7, 2023, and will reside there until 2026 (see complete dates at bottom of post). Wherever Saturn lies, it is where we are called to do the work of going to the next level–whatever that is for each of us in our current state of growth. It’s time to mature, get out of our comfort zone, and focus our efforts. With Saturn in Pisces, we are invited to put our efforts toward our spiritual lives through the Piscean practice of surrender.

When I share with you about the current astrology, my underlying intention is always the same: To offer you useful, practical strategies for aligning with the energies at play. I want to help you work with the flow rather than against it.

The planets dance with each other, cycles forming between them. These are called synodic cycles: the relationship between one planet and another as they move from a joined position (conjunction), then around to that same position again. The process varies in length of time, depending upon the planets involved.
