Hello and welcome to March 2026!

It’s here! The new energetic era that astrologers have been talking about for years has finally arrived as we continue settling into 2026.

There are many astrological events that are getting attention in March. We just had a solar eclipse on February 17th, but most importantly we had the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune on February 20th which is a seismic shift for months. One which we haven’t experienced since 1861. Of course, that was a turning point in history, and the year the American Civil War began. If you haven't already felt similar rumblings of dissent, you're about to. History tells us there will be a seismic impact. This moment marks a turning point; one we’ve never seen in our lifetimes. The energy is fierce, urging us to embrace our own power to shape reality.

Gone is the mystery about where people stand on the issues. The masks are falling away and many invitations to conscious action are revealing themselves. How can we do things differently? That’s a question that won’t simply hang in the air in 2026. It will become the grounds for testing amongst people, groups and countries. As structured Saturn and spiritual Neptune unite at 0º Aries (the Aries point and the start of the new Zodiac cycle), we will see a “great reset” everywhere. Fresh approaches, new alliances, and courageous decisions among people, cultures and countries are moving into unscripted territory.

It’s here! The new energetic era that astrologers have been talking about for years has finally arrived as we begin settling into 2026.

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse and it gallops in like a wild stallion full of maverick energy. Unlike 2025, which brought dizzying pendulum swings that left everyone unmoored, 2026 is unapologetically decisive. Gone is the mystery about where people stand on the issues. The masks are off and call to action is more than audible. How can we do things differently?

Pluto—the planet of transformation—leads the way now in Aquarius as it becomes activated by Mercury and Mars during the entire first week of the season. On January 27, 2026, a highly intense Mars-Pluto conjunction occurred in Aquarius, marking a peak moment for power, transformation, and action-driven change. This conjunction merged Mars's drive with Pluto's intensity, forcing confrontations with deeply buried truths and accelerating structural shifts in personal or global life.

Hello and welcome to January 2026!

It’s an futile exercise to try and distill down the chaotic astrology of 2025. In part, that’s because the planetary movements last year were far more active than in any of the 35 years I have been researching and writing these articles, and also because there were planetary events last year that have not happened simultaneously for hundreds of years.

There are so many changes this year, so much newness – which isn’t to say that it is bad or scary or negative – it’s simply new. I don’t think any of us have moved through the last several years without feeling a pressure cooker of energies. We can all feel that things are shifting and yet, we don’t know what is coming. The focus has been on fractures, polarities and endings rather than speaking about what our part of the world could be like on the other side of such dramatic times. Which is why we had a planetary “time-out” in December, encouraging us to take some dedicated time to plan for our next steps.

2025 felt like it went for about four months rather than twelve, such was the frenetic pace of it all. Now, in this new year we have a few of the same astrological movements happening once more, though in 2026 those planets will move signs and then stay put, rather than to-ing and fro-ing between signs. Overall, it feels like last year was the prologue and this year is the first chapter, one in which the storylines can really get some momentum behind them.

Hello and welcome to December 2025!

December 2025 serves as a crucial "bridge" between the old year's lessons and the new year's potential. The prevailing energy is one of transformation and renewal.

It will be a month of integration from a whole year of challenges and radically changing astrology. We had each of the major outer planets changing signs in fire and air signs for a few months during June through September 2025, when Pluto was transiting Aquarius, harmonizing with Uranus and Gemini, while Saturn and Neptune tested the fires of initiation in Aries. How'd that go for you? Because guess what? We have a few months in the beginning of 2026 when it all comes back. And then you have to make your choices wisely.

During December, for all signs, the movements of Mercury, Mars, the Sun, and Venus into Sagittarius and Capricorn will be significant, with the end of the month especially featuring a concentration of Capricorn energy (abundance, structure and responsibility). December’s energies encourage a mix of reflection, manifestation, and practical planning. The spiritual practices best suited for this time blend intuition with structured action:

Hello and welcome to November 2025!

I am going to give you the November 2025 events below. But first I want to talk about a few major planetary aspects that have been occurring in the last few months, and which will continue in November and through the rest of 2025 (and to 2029!). These major events will affect us all much more than the minor November aspects listed below.

The first of these are the major aspects we discussed last month. They are with the outer planets Uranus, Neptune/Saturn, and Pluto interacting in a rare Grand Sextile, or “Star of David,” pattern involving Uranus, Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune, with Jupiter potentially joining later in 2026 to complete a more complex Star of David configuration.

In addition, Pluto went stationary direct at 1°21' Aquarius on October 13th. See where this falls in your own birth chart and remember that it will be direct and very slow moving through Aquarius, until January 2044. And so will be deeply transforming the matters connected to the 'house' (i.e., family, career, health, etc.) area of your chart that it is moving through for many years to come. Pluto is the planet of power and transformation. One I have talked about a lot recently (and indeed since Pluto began to enter Aquarius in 2023) is the shift of power to the people, a potential shift in the potential of power.

Hello and welcome to September 2025!

Significant astrological developments occur this month, with eclipses sweeping through Pisces and Virgo, and the health and healing axis of the zodiac.

A total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 brings the potential for major revelations, surrendering, and reality checks, as Saturn returns to this sign. What does that mean exactly, as the planet is typically a sign of healing and intuitive ability. We might become involved in holistic healing practices, spiritual studies or volunteering to help others. Jupiter’s support during this full moon will add a boost of positivity, and perhaps sentimentality, too.

TIME OUT FOR THE SEPTEMBER SPOTLIGHT:

A New Moon/Solar Eclipse will occur on September 21, 2025;

This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 5 minutes of Virgo. In the last degree of the sign, there’s an urgency to our new beginnings. This Eclipse opposes Saturn and Neptune and harmonizes (trines) with Uranus and Pluto. Our responsibilities to others, our emotional health, and our need for downtime can weigh us down. It can be difficult to pull ourselves away, but we have the tools to make the changes we now realize are necessary for growth. In the sign of Virgo, work and health matters will be a major focus on a personal level in the months following this Eclipse. It is about new beginnings regarding work, attention to details, fitness, health regimes, and daily routines. But you are still in control. Meditate/manifest what you want those new beginnings to be.

Hello and welcome to August 2025!

Well by August 1st we have had the July 24 New Moon in Leo. Fierce and fearless, this lunar event delivered a triple dose of fire, serving as the fuel for your long-term plans. What do you see yourself building in the next two years? Going even further… What dreams do you see yourself fulfilling in the next decade? Leo’s strong-willed nature ensures you don’t forget the goals and intentions you set now, and Mercury retrograde gives you wiggle room to change whatever needs adjustment at the futuristic August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius.

FOUR planetary bodies are retrograde now, including Mercury, which went retrograde on July 17 (-August 11), asking us to review the many changes we’ve experienced in the first half of 2025. In more ways than one, August feels like having one step in the past and one step in the future, trying to maintain a sense of comfort in a state of limbo. With the planet of the past (Saturn) in sextile with the planet of the future (Uranus), the planets offer the possibility to unite tradition with inventiveness, helping all zodiac signs adapt to the changing times.

Relationships of all kinds are under focus this season as the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, clash with each other on July 23 and other planets between July 30 and August 9. If certain situations boil over to feel like a pressure cooker, hang in there, as celestial help is on the way starting August 6. Between now and August 19, a Grand Water Trine is formed as a total of six planetary bodies activate in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Besides promising a deeper sense of compassion and understanding, this sweet and karmic configuration brings some of the most romantic days of the year. The yearly conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in Cancer, active between August 6 and August 17, is ideal for finding closeness within a personal bond.
