Horoscope for 2026: Major Astrological Events
2026 is a continuation of the Age of Aquarius, which began with Pluto's ingress into Aquarius in November 2024. This is a year when technology will continue to change the world, and we will learn to live in a new reality. Let's break down the key planetary trends of 2026.
Major Transits of 2026
♇ Pluto in Aquarius (all year) Pluto continues its 20-year journey through Aquarius. This signifies the transformation of all systems: technological, political, social. Individuality and freedom become paramount values. For each person, this manifests differently – depending on which house of the natal chart the transiting Pluto falls into.
♆ Neptune on the Cusp of Pisces and Aries A historical moment: Neptune enters the sign of Aries for the first time in 165 years. Collective illusions are replaced by individual inspiration. If Neptune in Pisces (2011-2026) was an era of general spirituality, then Neptune in Aries is an era of personal insights.
♅ Uranus in Gemini (from July 2025) Uranus began its journey through Gemini in 2025 and will continue in 2026. A revolution in communications, social networks, and education. In 2026, this will manifest especially brightly – new forms of communication, perhaps the continued development of AI technologies that were previously unimaginable.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer (from June 2025 to June 2026) Jupiter in exaltation – in Cancer. A year of family, real estate, homeland, and care. This is a time when "home" values come to the forefront. Birth rates may increase, and the real estate market may become more active.
From June 2026: Jupiter enters Leo The second half of 2026 – Jupiter in Leo. A time of creativity, self-expression, and joy. Holidays, festivals, romance, and children – these are the main themes of summer and autumn 2026.
♄ Saturn in Aries (from May 2025) Saturn in Aries – a lesson in personal responsibility. We learn to be leaders of our own lives without aggression. This is a time when "I myself" must be supported by real actions.
Retrograde Periods of 2026
Retrograde Mercury 2026 (approximate dates):
- March 6 – March 30 (in Aries and Pisces)
- July 5 – July 29 (in Leo)

What to do during retrograde Mercury: review documents, settle old matters. What not to do: start new projects, sign important contracts (if they can be postponed).
Retrograde Mars 2026: In 2026, Mars will be retrograde. These are periods when energy drops, it's harder to achieve goals, and conflicts may intensify.
