The Tamesis
2026 is the year we take back power. We are looking for a new beginning, which is possible in the universe. Many celestial movements begin in 2025, and this time, we can use our knowledge and experience to make informed decisions and drive progress.
To summarize astrology, the following dates are the major cosmic turning points of the year:
2026 will bring four solar eclipses: an annular solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3, a total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12, and a partial lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28. The Nodes of Destiny, which move along the lunar axis and show the work we need to do to improve our lives, will enter Aquarius and Leo on July 26th. Over the next year and a half, we will be integrating technology and philanthropy into our lives while being community-driven.
Mercury retrograde occurs in the three water signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio) from February 26 to March 20 in Pisces, from June 29 to July 23 in Cancer, and from October 24 to November 13 in Scorpio. They are tender moments of reflection.
Venus’ moonwalk in Scorpio and Libra occurs between October 3 and November 13, allowing us to find ways to feel comfortable and deal with our finances.
Many planets are changing signs, cultivating new dynamics. Dreamy Neptune re-enters Aries on January 26th, pushing us to start over and become the best version of ourselves. Stern Saturn enters Aries on February 13 (Saturn and Venus form a conjunction on February 20, an epic moment for visionaries), and Uranus sprints into Gemini again on April 25, helping us find unique and innovative ways to communicate. On June 30, Jupiter slides into Leo, broadening our receptivity and creativity.
Read your 2026 horoscope below:
Aries
In 2026, you demand authority, prestige, and supremacy. When exalted Saturn and coveted Neptune connect in your sun sign on February 20, you’ll be able to inspire people with your perspective and words. Your wisdom will be able to help the masses, especially when the karmic node of destiny enters the Aquarius and Leo lunar axis on July 26, setting off a chain of events over the next year and a half that inspires you to take a stand and gain the respect you deserve.
Taurus
As the year progresses, you’ll feel more free and able to escape the seven-year cycle. The good news is that Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, giving you the opportunity to embrace your newfound foundation. Be aware that your stability will be tested again when Mercury and Venus go retrograde in the fall to begin their planetary moonwalk, throwing your sensibilities off balance. Adjust your bullish approach by being more flexible and open-minded.
Gemini
You receive accolades and admiration from colleagues and clients that make you feel like you’re on top of the world. This is indeed an exhausting time for you; however, you will feel the desire because there is more to your career ambitions, urging you to explore more avenues on April 25, when revolutionary and rebellious Uranus meanders through your sign. At that point, you’ll be back in the summer of 2025 when you were looking for side hustles and adventures to fuel your energy.
cancer
Expensive Jupiter makes you radiant, allows you to embrace your own extraordinary qualities, and puts you in the mood to explore and travel. Getting out of your comfort zone is the key to personal success. Just be careful not to plan a trip during the summer months of Mercury retrograde between June 29 and July 23, as the travel planet is moonwalking in your sign, which means there could be some misfortune ahead, or unexpectedly sitting next to your ex-partner on a long flight.
leo
The year ahead will bring mixed emotions to your aura and spirit. The solar eclipses of February 17 and August 12, coupled with Jupiter and the South Node entering your fierce sign on June 30 and July 26, can make you feel like you’re not getting enough love and attention from others, while also bringing you abundance and happiness. This course focuses on how to take care of yourself without seeking outside validation. Are you ready for the challenge? You got it, Leo!
Virgo
Love is the core theme that you focus on and invest your time in 2026. Eclipses on March 3 and August 28 bring you closer to the commitment you want. In Mercury form, you will overthink the terms of the relationship instead of enjoying the time you have with your significant other. Don’t let fear consume your mind and create problems that stem from previous insecurities. Be at peace with your heart and participate in your romantic relationship.
Libra
Venus has two magical points, one is in Capricorn on January 6, and the other is during retrograde in Scorpio on October 23. Both transits can give you insight into your spending habits, prompting you to make quality purchases of lasting value. The bottom line for you is that it’s better to splurge to ensure you don’t have to replace your favorite designer bag that’s no longer in production. The value lies in beauty and rarity. Appreciate what you have.
Scorpio
This fall, Mercury and Venus are retrograde in your sun sign, making it imperative that you focus in late October and mid-November by meditating on the things that matter to you. You may decide to make your life more exciting by practicing more self-care in an effort to repair yourself. What matters most is how you see yourself, not what others think. The judgments of others have no effect on you and can easily be ignored. The greatest resilience is you. You’ll realize this on October 23rd.
Sagittarius
Wild card Uranus will re-enter Gemini on August 25th, which will feel like a roller coaster ride. Since your sign loves excitement, this can be exciting. It’s a time to throw caution to the wind, fall in love and lose your one and only love, chase the rainbow and make your wishes come true. Keep your feet on the ground and keep your head above water so you don’t get caught up in self-consciousness and forget about everyone else.
Capricorn
Starting February 20th, you will feel an immediate shift in your energy. Looking back and doing research on your family will help you understand your history. This is a thoughtful sign, and you will take what you learn about your lineage seriously and stay in tune with your ancestors in the pursuit of knowledge and self-exploration. There may be times when you question the journey and want to get off track, but overall, your goal is to stay the course and strive to excel, grow, and stay grounded.
Aquarius
There is a competitive atmosphere around you. Some acquaintances will be jealous of you being in the spotlight. The Solar Eclipse on February 17, coupled with the North Node aligning with your sign for the next 18 months starting on July 26, puts you in a dominant position. This atmosphere will be even more intense when Jupiter opposes Pluto on July 20. Eventually, you’ll show everyone that you’re a boss. People may try to oust you from your throne, but you will win every time.
Pisces
The winter and summer of 2026 is a time to refresh your contact list, as you will be releasing those who did not provide you with the same level of companionship during the lunar eclipses of March 3 and August 28. Mercury’s retrograde motion between February 26 and March 20 causes you to reevaluate and take a step back to see if certain connections are worth keeping. Only the truest friends will stay. With them by your side, you will feel like you are walking in the sunshine.
