2026 Astrology Guidance. Main energies

In 2026, on a personal level, the year unfolds as an emotional journey, highlighted by Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Mercury retrograde in the water signs. It marks a return to our humanity — a reconnection with one another and a rediscovery of the importance of sharing our emotions and feelings.

In a world dominated by the fire element (Saturn and Neptune in Aries) and air (Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini), we recognize that AI cannot replace one essential thing: our humanness and our capacity for emotional bonding.

Events and situations outside of us may feel fast, restless, exciting, mentally stimulating, full of new information and ideas, or simply unfamiliar. The central challenge — and the flavor of the year — is learning to balance our sensitive inner world with the rapidly emerging outer world.

The lack of earth energy, as major planets have changed signs in recent years, suggests that in the worst case we may continue to disregard nature, becoming increasingly estranged from it, our heads turned toward screens rather than the living world. On the positive side, it can also indicate a shift toward valuing the spiritual over the purely material.

As the world enters a new cycle, the period from June to August 2025 offered a preview of the steps we are carrying into 2026. In numerology, 2026 is a 1-year in the nine-year cycle, meaning that the seeds we plant now as humanity will grow and develop over the years to come.

The central themes include:

• A dissolving of reality as we have known it, with Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries. Artificial intelligence and new technologies will accelerate rapidly, bringing significant breakthroughs throughout the year.

• The reshaping of boundaries, as territories transform and laws are rewritten.

Mercury retrograde

Mercury will be retrograde 3 times in Water signs.

We are revisiting our emotional world—our ties to the past and the memories that linger, asking to be acknowledged and healed.

Mark your calendar and try to avoid signing important contracts or making major purchases around these dates:

Feb 26^th - March 20^th 2026( Mercury retrograde in Pisces )

June 29^th - July 23^rd 2026( Mercury retrograde in Cancer )

October 24^th to Nov 13^th  2026 in Scorpio ( Mercury retrograde in Scorpio)

Venus retrograde

Venus will be retrograde from October 3 to November 14 in Scorpio and Libra, bringing a deep review of relationships, values, self-image, and finances. It’s generally not the best time for new commitments and may echo love and relationship themes from 2018, 2010, and 2002.

Eclipse season Leo/Aquarius

A new series of eclipses begins along the Leo–Aquarius axis. The last time this occurred was from 2017 to 2019. Reflect on what was unfolding in your life during that period—the areas of your birth chart containing Leo and Aquarius are likely to be activated again. What lessons from that time feel as though they may resurface with the 2026 eclipses?

Mark your calendar:

February 17, 2026 (eclipse in Aquarius)

August 12, 2026 (eclipse in Leo).

Jupiter moves into Leo ( June 30th )

Jupiter will move into Leo from June 30^th, blessing the area of your astrological chart where you have this sign. Jupiter in Leo is the performer, the comedian, the one that knows the light is limitless. What part of your life needs a return back to faith?
