When a transiting planet contacts an individual’s personal planet, (Sun, Venus, Mercury, or Mars) a reaction, feeling or perhaps an event involving the planetary energies will be initiated. Example: transiting Jupiter connects with your Venus. You could simply have a couple of “feeling good” days while this is active or maybe even win a lottery, fall in love, or receive a bonus, settle a legal case, or set up a new bank account. It is helpful to know if this will be happening so you can plan and be prepared to make it a good “connection”. The following slower moving planets will be influential this year due to several actually changing signs.

JUPITER in CANCER until July 01 then enters LEO until July 2027
Jupiter moves the fastest of the slower moving planets, staying only a year in each sign. The last time Jupiter was in Cancer was in 2013/2014 and the last time in Leo was 2014/2015. If Jupiter touches one of your planets, it will uplift and add generous and philosophical energy to that planet’s activity. It enhances whatever or whomever it touches. When it is in your sign or your ascendant sign, it offers a certain amount of protection. It cannot keep all challenges away from you. But, in those cases, the outcome is better than if you did not have the protection of Jupiter.

Jupiter rules many things such as foreign policies, countries, religion, higher education, spirituality, military and military activity to name a few. It also rules legal matters or authority. So, it is possible that if Jupiter is close to one of your planets, you might be involved in a lawsuit or legal proceeding sometime during this year or connect with optimistic, like-minded people.

Overindulgence is one negative influence of Jupiter, so be sure to keep everything in moderation. Jupiter promotes growth, so it is possible to gain weight if it is transiting your Ascendant or your Sun (Cancer and Leo in 2026).

During the summer 2026 when Jupiter moves into LEO, a shift occurs with. less focus on home and family, increasing attention on fun and games, streaming, children, pets and even romance! Of course, LEO also rules leaders and entertainers and they will be in the spotlight from the summer of 2026 to summer 2027.

SATURN in ARIES and PISCES
Saturn has returned to PISCES staying until it re-enters Aries in February 2026 remaining until April 2028.

Starting off 2026 the rumbling of energy that could bring about restrictions or limits involving things ruled by both Pisces and Aries will continue. This highlights waterways and boundaries, oceans and liquids of all kinds, activities behind the scenes, religions/churches, imagination and then fires, aggressions, military, and military activities. It may hinder or slow new projects. There may be restricted activities due to fires/volcanoes, etc.  Virgo Sun signs/ascendants (born after Sep 15) as well Libra  sun/ascendants (born the end of Sep) may find a strong opposing energy making each task a challenge. On a positive note, health/medicine/healing may be a big topic with new and better ways to detect disease/illness. There may be new laws introduced that will change or structure the healthcare system as well as benefits from programs, i.e., social security. A review of new projects or laws can be studied with better plans for implementation.

Commitments made during a transit of Saturn to a personal planet (sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars) will have endurance or longevity. Remember, Saturn offers the opportunity to bring discipline and structure to your life. This is positive if you take advantage of it without resisting the responsibilities or limitations that may pop up.

Be watchful of accidents or health issues involving the lower legs, especially the ankles, and feet and also everything about the head (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, brain, etc). Saturn encourages you to organize and discipline your activities and accept responsibilities. Pisces, If you have been working hard and taking care of tasks and keeping up, you will find that Saturn will reward you with a “good job” bonus gift when it exits your sign in Feb 2026. Aries will receive the same when it exits your sign in 2028. Given the ability to focus and accomplish now, use Saturn’s positive side to finish up projects or goals that have been set aside. Perhaps join a cause to help the world.  Take on any added responsibilities as a learning experience that will benefit you even if you cannot see it at the time. PISCES has a strong connection with charities, children, pets, creative projects, oceans/liquids, psychic ability, and the film industry. ARIES has a strong tie to military forces, fires, firemen, impulsive decisions, explosives, drought or dry places and pioneering new projects or ideas.

URANUS in GEMINI and TAURUS
Uranus stays approximately 7 years in a sign. Last time in Gemini was 84 years ago – 1941 -1949.

In 2018 it moved into TAURUS. This energy highlights money and earth changes. We can say we have experienced matters related to both. When it moved briefly into GEMINI (Jul – Nov 2025), we were given a “taste” of what is to come when Uranus returns to Gemini in late April 2026 for 7 years. In Gemini, there is an increased focus on, for example: communications, transportation (railroads, highways, shipping), broadcasting, education, writers, books/book stores, post offices and even treaties. Physically, the focus may be on the arms and upper chest. The FUTURE is emphasized with technology, inventions and genius ideas!

When Uranus returned to Taurus back in November 2025, money concerns (markets, prices, economy etc.) increased and created uncertainty which will stick around until April 2026 when Uranus re-enters Gemini, until July 2032.

The following is what was said about Uranus entering Taurus and continues to describe many of the things happening until April 2026. At that time it will enter Gemini and a shift in energy occurs. The last time we experienced the transit of Uranus in Taurus was 1934-1942 so we are close to finishing that cycle.

The energy of freedom loving Uranus is quite unpredictable. In Taurus, EVERYTHING having to do with financial security is highlighted. Banks/banking, land/land deals, money markets, world trade, and farming are just a few areas being affected. TAURUS is practical, sensual, intuitive, and highly creative. Uranus energizes unpredictable and unexpected events due to its “out of the blue” energy. It also rules humanitarian causes and visionaries. The two together (Uranus in Taurus), demands changes in how we do business, especially involving finances, financial institutions, government’s influence of the same; but it will also bring to light creative abilities that may have been hidden or “put on the shelf”. This cycle also brings circumstances that open our hearts to humanitarian situations promoting a coming together of people from diverse backgrounds helping one another. There are unusual and intense weather patterns, earthquakes, meteor strikes, electronics, anything related to air travel, the auto industry and music. Many of the changes may be sudden and unexpected, and with no warning. Artists and entertainers will feel an influx of energy and many could become “famous” overnight.

When Uranus arrives in Gemini the focus will shift to technology, communications, neighborhoods, inventions, space and even wars. The U.S. Civil War and also World War II occurred during the last transit of Uranus in Gemini.

NEPTUNE in ARIES
Neptune stays in each sign from 12 to 15 years and highlights the imagination, spirituality, films, religions and dreams. People find ways to escape reality with a  few using deception to get ahead in life. Most of that is caused by the “fogginess” that surrounds Neptune in Pisces. Once it enters Aries the energy will shift and Neptune will express itself boldly and with confidence. It encourages a pioneering, aggressive and impulsive attitude at times. Neptune was last in ARIES 1861-1875. This was the time of the civil war in the U.S. Considering that,  it encourages a serious awakening. It is a reality check. It is time to make those dreams real. Wars could, unfortunately, be part of this cycle when Neptune is in Aries.  On a global level, managing the climate will be important as droughts and fires will increase. Weather could create urgency with heat concerns in parts of the world.  In some cases, there could be increased volcanic eruptions, as well as unexpected explosions or wars. It will remain in Aries until May 21, 2038.

PLUTO moves into AQUARIUS until 2044
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778 – 1798. During that time, there was a war for independence between the North American colonies and Great Britain, the US Bill of Rights was ratified. Uranus was discovered/The French Revolution began and included the Reign of Terror.

PLUTO rules death and rebirth, transformation ……AQUARIUS rules things like electricity, air travel, electronics, broadcasting, freedom, inventions and the people. It is known to be the visionary sign because it sees into the future. Perhaps we will see a change in how people do business or work – shorter workweeks, remote work, less travel, or new inventions. New advances or information regarding AI, software, air travel, drones, robots, aliens. Groups of like-minded people will push for change. Hopefully, we have learned from the past and will create a peaceful path forward.

May the force still be with you!
