Major Planetary Shifts for 2026
ACCELERATION, RELEASE, AND FREEDOM.
A year of “yes” and “why not?”
January 27 Neptune - the planet of dreams, vision, and boundlessness.
Neptune moves out of Pisces (extra dreamy) into Aries (action) for good (from a water sign to a fire sign.)
Awakening of new ideals. Less ego. Spiritual awareness and sovereignty activated. New spiritual era – awakened sense of identity, initiative and personal purpose. From vision to action – immediate, impulsive, and optimistic. New era.
February 15 Saturn - the planet of discipline, seriousness, and “do your work”.
Saturn moves out of Pisces (dreamy) into Aries (action) for good (from a water sign to a fire sign.)
Clear focus and discipline - strengths – ready for action. Responsibility returns - new cycle of self-definition and direction. Things imagined get real action flow more freely. Things seems more possible. New personal warriorship – immediate, impulsive, and optimistic. New era.
February 15/22 Saturn/Neptune conjunct – aligned - at 0˚ Aries: (hasn’t happened for 6,000 years.)
0˚ Aries is the ignition point – the beginning of the zodiac.
What will you dream into reality? Putting ideals into action. What dreams will become a reality? What is our responsibility to actualize now? Profound reset. Old systems dissolving. Opening new spiritual and collective phase.
Step up and take responsibility for creating something radically new in your life – something that can make a collective impact.
It is time for self-invention and self-reclamation: doors will open and you will be asked to deeply commit to your visions and dreams.
Shift from dissolving to rising. How do we integrate the mystery with the warrior? New era.
April 27 Uranus - the planet of individuation, awakening, rebelliousness, sudden changes, and freedom.
Uranus moves out of Taurus (earth sign) to Gemini (air sign.) for good. What was stable has now been unearthed. What is possible is taking flight. Breakthroughs (some unimaginable) in technology, communication, thinking - paradigm-shift of dynamic new ideas.
Expect the unexpected: freedom, liberation, rebellion, individuation, innovation, revolution. New era.
June 20 Chiron – the asteroid of woundedness and healing enters Taurus
leaving Aries – (Fire to earth energy)
What material, earthbound, and natural things need to be seen for their woundedness and healed? Embrace simplicity, sufficiency, and grounding. Collective healing toward safety, worth, embodiment, and grounded resilience.
Half-way through 2026 measurable collective progress becomes likely.
June 29 Jupiter – the planet of expansion. Enters Leo.
Expanded hearts, creativity, courage and expression. Increased self-importance and seeking of joy and love. Bold creativity, confidence, heart-centered expression.
July 4 Mars (warrior) joins Uranus (sudden changes and awakenings) Revolutionary alignment. Expect the unexpected – with force. Immense pressure. Breaking free.
August 19 Lunar nodes - the placements that show us evolving karmic shifts.
The nodal axis shifts from Pisces/Virgo to Aquarius/Leo (2026-2028)
Strong collective healing. Shift to strong, visionary, community-based and lead evolution.
All of 2026 Pluto - the planet of power and transformation.
Pluto is now in Aquarius – no more retrogrades back into Capricorn - (air sign) from Capricorn (earth sign) and will be in Aquarius for 22 years.
Pluto in Aquarius continues to contribute energetically – revealing shadows of the collective and manifesting building blocks forward. Continues to powerfully provide the seeds of transformation.
Everything is up for transformation. New era.
Major shifts from water and earth signs to fire and air signs.
All of these are powerful shifts, happening together in 2026.
