About the 2026 horoscope
Saturn enters Aries in mid-February, beginning a longer chapter that lasts into 2028. In astrological interpretation, this shifts the life area associated with responsibility for each Sun sign. Neptune enters Aries in late January, while Uranus moves into Gemini in April.
Jupiter travels through Cancer in the first half of the year, then enters Leo at the end of June. The year has four eclipses: an annular solar eclipse in Aquarius, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo, a total solar eclipse in Leo and a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces. The August total solar eclipse path includes Iceland and northern Spain.
Mercury has three retrograde periods, beginning in late February, late June and late October. Venus is also retrograde in October and November. The traditional theme is review, not a requirement to put your life on hold.
Chinese New Year in February begins the Year of the Fire Horse.
How we calculate
Dates and times are calculated by our own software using the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets. Interactive views use your selected city and its time zone. Reference tables state their fixed time zone separately. Astrological ratings and interpretations describe traditions, not scientifically established effects.
