2026 Horoscopes: What the Planets Have in Store for Each Zodiac Sign

In 2026, Saturn and Neptune both take up residence in cardinal fire sign Aries. They’ll link up on February 20, launching a new era that marries structure with imagination.
On April 25, Uranus, the planet of revolution, will enter Gemini, revolutionizing communication and technology until 2033.
Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, will leave sentimental Cancer for showy, passionate Leo on June 30, spotlighting romance, self-expression, and self-confidence.

Every year brings different shifts that you can harness to make your wildest dreams a reality, but 2026 is full of rare, game-changing, and positive planetary moves.

For starters, we’re kicking off a whole new eclipse series on the Leo-Aquarius axis, a set of lunar events falling in late winter and late summer that highlight themes like creativity, pride, and individuality. And not one but two planets—taskmaster Saturn and mystical Neptune—will land in driven, competitive, fiery Aries for years to come. On February 20, they’ll meet up for the first time since 1989, marrying structure with imagination, and kicking off a new chapter that could stoke commitment to caring for your spiritual well-being.

In late April, revolutionary Uranus bounds into excitable, communicative Gemini where it’ll remain until 2033, spurring gasp-worthy innovation and change around how we communicate and gather and share information. And in late June, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, exits cardinal water sign Cancer, where it has amplified the emotional side of life, as well as family and home, and enters Leo, the fixed fire sign, which could magnify your thirst for applause, romance, luxury, self-expression, and leadership. Fall 2026 spurs revisions to relationships as Venus begins to retrograde in intimacy-seeking Scorpio and partnership-oriented Libra.

No matter what you’re aiming for in 2026, there’s a celestial shake-up that could catapult you into a truly fulfilling new era. As you read on for your 2026 forecast, be sure to read your rising sign (which you can learn from your natal chart or by using an online calculator) and your sun.

Aries

You could feel a surge of dreaminess, imagination, spiritual well-being, and a desire to commit to a fulfilling game plan that will make this energy last, whether that’s a creative undertaking or a new, ongoing form of self-care, thanks to Neptune and Saturn pairing up in your sign on February 20. Both planets will continue to make their way through your first house for the next couple of years, so you’ll be getting serious about tuning into your intuition and letting it lead you toward greater fulfillment and success.

You can also look forward to one of the most romantic, playful, creatively stimulating years you’ve had in over a decade, thanks to lucky Jupiter moving through your fifth house of self-expression. If you’re single, your dating life is about to get truly thrilling, and if you’re attached, your chemistry with your significant other takes off when you’re able to infuse time together with more fun and spontaneity.

Watch out for emotional twists and turns from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November when Mercury will be retrograde in your twelfth house of spirituality, fourth house of home, and eighth house of intimacy. Healing old wounds in order to nurture your closest bonds will be an ongoing theme.

Taurus

It’s been a few years (since 2021-2023) since you’ve had an eclipse series bring significant, maybe even shocking, change, but 2026 delivers the first of many eye-opening, game-changing moments, thanks to two lunar events occurring on the axis that impacts both your home life and career.

Around February 17 and August 12, you could be nudged forward in time in some way—possibly moving, growing your family, stepping into a leadership position on the job, or changing your professional path completely. Expansive Jupiter’s presence in your fourth house of home life beginning June 30 will also amplify your focus on family matters, your inner emotional well-being, and your physical home itself. You can expect more joy, abundance, stability, and growth when it comes to all things domestic.

Then, one of the most impactful planetary shifts for you happens in the fall when your ruling planet, romantic Venus, is retrograde from October 3 to November 14 in your seventh house of partnership and sixth house of daily routine. You’ll need to dive into inner work and reflection around your one-on-one bonds, self-care, and health.

Gemini

The main headline for you in 2026 is the fact that Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, kicks off a seven-year transit on April 25, moving through your sign and first house of self until 2033. You likely got a sneak peek of what this will mean when it was there from July 7 to November 7, 2025, but now, you’ll be on the fast-track to switching up your personal style and passion projects while embracing a vibe that’s more independent and even rebellious. And a particular storyline that began back in 2024 continues to evolve as a result of eclipses in your fourth house of home life and tenth house of career on March 3 and August 28.

You’re well on your way to leveling up your work-life balance, family-related goals, and public image—even if shakeups leave you feeling a bit stunned. Know that sudden changes are probably helping shape the bigger picture for the better. And when your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, goes retrograde three times this year—from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November—it’ll impact your tenth house of career, second house of income, and sixth house of daily routine. This might sound daunting, but the overarching lesson is to reassess your definition of success and make necessary tweaks that will set you up for even greater wins down the road.

Cancer

You might be a bit bummed to hear that in 2026, Jupiter, the planet of fortune and abundance, is leaving your sign and first house of self after landing there last summer, but you’ll have until June 30 to take advantage of its expansive effect on your optimism, identity, confidence, and faith in yourself.

Early March can be especially productive and fulfilling as it may lead to personal growth and broadening your horizons (cue eye-opening travel), thanks to Jupiter harmonizing with the sun and Mercury in your ninth house of adventure. And once Jupiter does leave your sign on June 30, it’ll be in your second house of income until summer 2027, bolstering your earning potential and self-worth—which could definitely be a boon for your bottom line.

With spiritual Neptune and taskmaster Saturn landing in your tenth house of career for a longer stretch (February 13 to April 2028, to be exact), you can tap into your imagination and dedication to transform your professional path. You can make the most of Mercury’s retrogrades this year (from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November) by prioritizing introspection around higher learning, identity, and self-expression.

Leo

No matter what’s going on astrologically, you exude main character energy, but it’s actually a central theme of 2026 with several major transits impacting your sign and first house of self. For starters, a brand new eclipse series impacting your identity and one-on-one relationships kicks off on February 17. Until early 2028, you’ll be moving through a game-changing narrative that will truly alter how you see yourself, are showing up in the world, and are engaging with partners, whether romantic, professional, or platonic. The first lunar event here, a solar eclipse in your seventh house of partnership, is bound to feel like a shock to the system, and the story will continue around August 12 when we get a solar eclipse in your sign.

The summer also brings a thrilling shift in the form of Jupiter, the planet of abundance and fortune, landing in Leo on June 30, kicking off a year-long transit that will boost your optimism, confidence, generosity, cheerfulness, and ability to tackle any challenge life throws your way. You’ll also get to breathe a sigh of relief as a result of Saturn, the planet of challenges and limits, exiting your eighth house of shared resources, where it has been weighing on your energy since 2023. From February 13 to April 2028, its shift through your ninth house of higher learning will require soul searching around your belief system and inner drive.

Virgo

Since 2024, you’ve been moving through a significant period of change affecting your sense of self and one-on-one relationships. 2026 will continue to push that story forward with two major lunar events falling in your first house of self and seventh house of partnership on March 3 and August 28 respectively. Although these moments tend to spur lots of upheaval, you can take heart in knowing that you’ve been on this ride for quite a while now and are more than prepared for whatever comes your way.

When your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, goes retrograde this year—from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November—you can reflect on your relationships while getting more intentional about how you’re showing up for others and taking note of how they’re showing up for you. Introspection and self-work will be even more of a focus than usual once expansive

Jupiter lands in your twelfth house of spirituality on June 30, where it’ll remain for about a year. As much as this transit might make you feel like you’re perpetually planting seeds that have yet to come to fruition, know that you’re laying important groundwork for a surge of personal growth that kicks off in 2027.

Libra

With not one but two major outer planets—mystical Neptune and taskmaster Saturn—hunkering down in your seventh house of partnership this year, you have the opportunity to dream up and commit to lofty goals within your one-on-one bonds. Know that with Neptune there until 2038, you could be even more prone to idealizing relationships than usual, but the positive effect of this 12-year cycle is that you’ll be working toward infusing your bonds with a greater sense of spirituality and magic. You can also hone your psychic abilities when it comes to navigating partnerships. And Saturn’s impact, until 2028, could result in a push to commit, settle down, or define any relationship.

With Jupiter moving through your tenth house of career until June 30, be sure to push for your big picture desires, especially around early March when the planet of growth will harmonize with the sun in your sixth house of daily routine. It could be time to take a leap and move toward an everyday hustle that will level up to your ultimate career aspirations. Then, beginning June 30 for about a year, you’ll have Jupiter in your eleventh house of long-term wishes, which could lead to achievements you’ve been dreaming about for years.

When your ruling planet, romantic Venus, is retrograde in your second house of income and first house of self from October 3 to November 14, retracting your footsteps when it comes to money making game plans and passion projects can ultimately lead to greater clarity and abundance.

Scorpio

2026 is a bit of a wild ride for you—in part because we’re kicking off a new eclipse series that hits your fourth house of home life and tenth house of career, bringing shakeups that could ultimately strengthen your work-life balance, purpose, emotional well-being, and public image. The first one hits on February 17, so steel yourself for gasp-worthy changes impacting where you live, your physical home itself, or how you’ve been navigating relationships with loved ones. Then, on August 12, the solar eclipse in your tenth house of career could usher in a whole new era for your professional path.

Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, will be in that same sector for a year beginning on June 30, amplifying and supporting your desire to claim the spotlight. You could feel extra competitive about stepping into a leadership position or taking the reins on big picture projects on the job that’ll lead to recognition from higher-ups. Trust that you have everything you need to make that vision a reality and that slow, steady growth might be what’s most gratifying in the long-run.

When Mercury retrograde hits your first house of self-image from late October 24 to November 13, go inward to take stock of how you’ve been nurturing your confidence and taking up space in the world.

Sagittarius

Changes on the job and at home continue to take shape and possibly even throw you off, but trust that you’re heading in the right direction. This is the result of the eclipse series that began back in September 2024 continuing to activate your fourth house of home life and tenth house of career. Shakeups to your professional path and relationships with loved ones, possibly even your physical address, are nudging you toward even more fulfillment in these areas of your life.

You’ve also had your ruling planet, lucky Jupiter, moving through your eighth house of intimacy since last summer, which is a pretty quiet, albeit sexy, sector, boosting your desire for more connection, deeply emotional bonding, and security with someone special. You’ll feel like you’re locking in more and more of these wishes up until Jupiter shifts into your ninth house of adventure on June 30. Then, until summer 2027, it’ll amplify your need to broaden your horizons and explore well beyond your mundane routine. In turn, the second half of the year could be jam-packed with the kind of travel and learning experiences you absolutely live for. And with both Neptune and Saturn settling into your fifth house of romance and self-expression from February on, you’ll be compelled to find more room in your busy schedule for pleasure, creativity, spontaneity, and playfulness.

Capricorn

You’ve been craving more one-on-one time with a significant other, dear friend, loved one, or business partner ever since Jupiter, the planet of expansion, landed in your seventh house of partnership last summer, and for the first half of the year, this continues to be the case. You have luck on your side when it comes to pushing on shared aspirations.

When Jupiter harmonizes with the sun and Mercury in your third house of communication in early March, you can anticipate conversations, travel, and learning experiences that move the ball forward. And beginning on February 13, Saturn, your ruling planet, will be getting cozy in your fourth house of home life, where it’ll remain until April 2028. In turn, this could be a period of serious self-reflection around your roots, family, and emotional well-being.

You can anticipate taking your approach to caring for your emotional and psychological well-being to the next level. And with messenger Mercury’s retrogrades impacting your third house of communication (in the late winter), seventh house of partnership (in the summer), and eleventh house of friendships (in the fall), you’ll also be reflecting on your relationships and deciding which bonds are most worthy of your time and energy.

Aquarius

2026 is bound to be an especially memorable year for you. For starters, the South Node moves into your seventh house of partnership and the North Node lands in your sign, so two of this year’s eclipses are going to deliver karmic shakeups tied to your identity and your one-on-one bonds. On February 17, the solar eclipse in your sign launches this storyline you’ll be moving through until early 2028, and August 12 marks the solar eclipse in your partnership sector that will rock your relationships—including with yourself.

At the same time, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, will be in your seventh house of partnership beginning on June 30 for about a year, so you’ll not only want but find you have an easier time fitting quality time with a significant other, dear friend, or even business partner into your schedule. You also have the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself through your relationships with others. And once spiritual Neptune and taskmaster Saturn are both in your third house of communication, which will be the case from February 13 on, you can put your nose to the grindstone, incorporating more learning experiences, likely involving spiritual or meditative practices and honing practical skills.

Pisces

Dreamy Neptune, your co-ruling planet, has been in your first house of self-image since 2011, boosting your already supercharged empathy and intuition. This year, you’re moving into a whole new era, because it’ll take up residence in your second house of income, boosting spiritual growth linked to your values, self-worth, and moneymaking efforts. It may also make you more likely to wear rose-colored glasses around financial matters, which is why it’s a good thing Saturn, the planet of reality, will be there, too, from February 13 to April 2028. You could commit to an exciting and practical new income-bolstering strategy.

And if that wasn’t enough, the narrative you’ve been moving through tied to your sense of self and one-on-one bonds continues as we have two eclipses on this axis this year: March 3’s lunar eclipse in your seventh house of partnership and August 28’s lunar eclipse in your sign. You’ll also move through Mercury retrograde periods that are wired to connect you even more soundly with your identity, confidence, creative voice, and sense of adventure. Be sure to capitalize on these moments—which are happening in late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November—by slowing down and making joy, fun, and your heart’s desires a key focus.
