2026 promises to be a very interesting year. There will be more of the unexpected, more lessons to learn, more growth and opportunities, more dreams and ideals, and more transformational experiences. I’ll attempt to explain some of the major astrological influences of the year in the following paragraphs.
There are usually three Mercury retrograde periods every year. This year, the first Mercury retrograde period begins on February 25 of 2026. The following dates/times are local time in San Francisco, CA. The second Mercury retrograde period begins on June 29, 2026. And, the last Mercury retrograde period begins October 24, 2026. They usually last for about three weeks. These periods are generally marked by miscommunications, misunderstandings, problems with communications equipment, travel delays, and plans that will later need to be revised or completely changed. It’s usually better not to make important decisions or to sign contracts (or anything else) - if that is possible - during these periods. Complications and problems are too easy to encounter, and often we don’t have all the information that we need. The best thing to do is to continue to collect this information throughout the period. How these periods will affect you personally depends on where it happens in your astrological chart(s).
In 2026, Venus turns retrograde in early October of 2026 and remains in apparent retrograde motion till mid November. All types of relationships are up for review during this period.
There will be eclipses in February, March, and August of 2026. They occur in Aquarius, Virgo, Leo, and Pisces. If you’d like to know if an eclipse will affect you personally, ask me. Most people will experience these eclipses as either a Full Moon (lunar eclipse) or a New Moon (solar eclipse).
Saturn continues its final transit through Pisces in 2026. Saturn affects. Saturn’s transit here will affect the oil and gas industry, the motion picture industry, matters at sea or the oceans, and spiritual issues. Saturn will enter Aries on February 13, 2026. Aries is an aggressive and physical sign, so this transit will affect police departments, the armed services, and the physical fitness industry. This transit will affect you personally depending on where Saturn is transiting in your astrological chart(s) (its house placement and if it aspects any of your natal planets or points).
Uranus, the planet of change and the unexpected, will continue to transit financially conscious Taurus in 2026. Uranus will transit Taurus till April 25 of 2026. Transiting Uranus could affect the high technology industry, astrology/astrologers, civil rights issues, and other humanitarian interests. Transiting Taurus, it could affect the banking industry, investments, and finances. It is likely to affect the stock market as well. We might come up with new ways to make money and/or we may change the way we think about money and other possessions. Some astrologers have indicated that this transit could cause more earthquakes to occur. My own view is that this transit alone will not be the cause of more earthquakes (should we actually experience more). Then on April 25, 2026, Uranus enters the sign of the twins, Gemini. It will affect the transportation industry (auto, bikes, and others) and secondary education.
Jupiter will transit the sign of Cancer through June 29, 2026, Industries related to home, family, and real estate are affected by this transit.
Jupiter enters Leo in late June, 2026. Industries related to self expression, creativity, entertainment, and children will be affected. Jupiter is an expansive planet and provides opportunities, luck, growth, and healing.
Neptune will continue its final transit through its home sign of Pisces in 2026. The oil and gas industries will be impacted by this transit. Neptune also rules the motion picture industry (and photography) and the shipping industry. Neptune enters Aries on January 26, 2026. After that time, this transit will affect police departments, the armed services, and the physical fitness industry.
Pluto will continue to transit the sign of Aquarius in 2026. The areas related to Aquarius are due for transformation. Pluto’s effects are subtle sometimes, tend to happen over a lengthy period of time, and are very powerful. High-tech, Astrology, civil rights concerns, and humanitarian issues will be affected by this transit and will be due for some transformations. Look for AI to become more prevalent.
