Your 2026 Cosmetic Forecast
A lot is happening in the stars! Welcome to your 2026 horoscopes, a new planetary era, friends. The cosmic tides of 2026 invite big shifts in perspective and possibility. This is a year to realign with what truly matters, to trust your timing and to let the universe remind you that change can be its own kind of magic.
Aries
March 21–April 19
Symbol Ram
Ruling planet Mars
Catchphrase “I am.”
Aries, 2026 is the year you reimagine yourself, regenerate your social profile and reinvent your modes of communication. With Saturn in Aries this year, fixing problems, helping and keeping up with the demands of your life may seem all-consuming. Welcome to hard work! Yet, Neptune is also in Aries for years, opening windows to your imagination, assisted by Uranus and Pluto. These Air/Fire harmonies fan your flames, extend your visionary capacity and reconfigure your repertoire. Venus visits Aries from March 6 to 30, firing up pleasant new connections and new priorities. At the Aries New Moon on April 17, regeneration gets real, with six planets aligned in Aries. From May 21 to June 17, you extend your creative potential, and interesting depths inspire you. On June 30, beneficial Jupiter begins a year in Leo, sparking new ideas and new projects. August and September are intensely creative, sparked by a Jupiter/Saturn dance. The catalyst is August 13’s eclipsed New Moon, the climax September 27’s Full Moon in Aries. These define a path that combines clarity and vision, making you shine. Saturn’s good timing helps. The result is more energy for the excitement of late November and December. Now being free and expressive really works.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Symbol Bull
Ruling planet Venus
Catchphrase “I have.”
The year 2026 begins with Uranus making its final voyage through earthy Taurus, giving you four months to jettison habits that hold you back, to embrace the new. You may be a change agent now, particularly from March 15 to 30. This period is emotionally satisfying, energising. In April, Venus comes home to Taurus, evoking sweet times, resplendent as the Evening Star. From late April, financial plans change. Do opt for simple, not grand, schemes. May 17’s Taurus New Moon is a new start, extending loving communication. Perhaps time to invest in a training course. Greater intimacy can be achieved from June 23 to 28 when Venus paves your path. June 30’s Full Moon through July is pivotal: Comet Chiron transits Taurus for three months, urging healing awareness. From July, expansive Jupiter opens new vistas for home and family. Then late July begins a fateful new 18-month eclipse cycle: Vocational dreams call, while old family hurts can heal. Supported by planet Pluto, you can voice yourself in new ways. Your Taurus Full Moon on October 26 demonstrates this well and the outer world responds. Yet, Venus opposite Pluto warns against being judgmental. Guidelines to safeguard you in these exciting and transformational times.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Symbol Twins
Ruling planet Mercury
Catchphrase “I think.”
While March fosters pleasant dreams, April 26 rings the changes. When Uranus returns to Gemini, this rare event signals reinvention and new self-understanding. The unusual often becomes usual and awakening experiences often occur. Yet, unreliable friends, interests that obscure reality and obsessive passions can also come with the thrills. Regular grounding walks in natural surrounds is a good anchor. This highly charged time has creative thrust. Loving relationships grow, with Venus also in Gemini through late-April to May. When May 18 sees ruler Mercury meet Uranus, the Gemini mind takes wing. Yet, May 31’s Full Moon demands caution around stubborn people. Good humour will get you through safely. Your Gemini New Moon on June 15 hosts Mercury in Cancer, so love and home are uppermost. Do avoid critical words. July brings extra fulfilment, when a new Jupiter cycle starts to expand self-expression. When Venus transits your love and creativity zone from August 7 to September 10, personal and professional commitments are made. Happily, Mercury then begins an energising communication cycle. Guard your health in late October through mid-November. You buzz with energy at the Gemini Full Moon on November 25. The Air/Fire harmonies of December make life both an adventure and a learning experience. WellBeing
Cancer
June 21–July 22
Symbol Crab
Ruling planet Moon
Catchphrase “I feel.”
March 19’s New Moon starts an energising Mars/Jupiter dance that soothes Cancer’s soul. Travel plans are seeded, adventure beckons. With Jupiter in Cancer until July, expansive self-expression rules. A guardian angel effectively sees you through testing times. With Saturn and Neptune in your vocational sign, some well-laid plans could dissolve. Conversely, sudden insights will serve you well. Just wait, breathe, give thanks. Gratitude practises attract Jupiter’s protection. At the Cancer Solstice on June 21, communication resonates with big-picture optimism, while Mercury and Jupiter bond in Cancer. Then June 30’s Full Moon sees Mercury shift into retrograde motion, while Jupiter shifts into Leo. Heightened emotions rule, yet most of July will require a recap, looking back to better understand intense feelings. It will be in August and September, while Mars transits Cancer, that you really assimilate your intense learning experience. September 27’s Full Moon could bring simmering passions or anger to the boil. Saturn is near Full Moon, holding fiery harmonies with Jupiter. This means wisdom and success can accompany this time, flowing in October. So, replace any resentment with an open mind. Venus/Mars harmonies sweeten December and December 24’s Full Moon in Cancer, illuminating special friends and family time. 58
Leo
July 23–August 22
Symbol Lion
Ruling planet Sun
Catchphrase “I will.”
As the Sun’s own sign, you embrace life with gusto and feel most alive when fired up with purpose. This is easy, when two special visitors, Neptune and Saturn, announce their year-long influence by aligning with the Aries Sun between March 22 and 25. Neptune helps your imagination to soar, while Saturn provides boundaries, clarity. May 22 to 29 is an accelerator, helping friendships and travel plans to flourish. Then comes Jupiter, the “Greater Fortune”, entering Leo on June 30, inspiring deep insights on July 30’s Full Moon, staying for a year. Your heart’s longings, love of life and creativity have a once-in-12-years open door. All of Leo time takes this to a new level, coinciding with Jupiter and Saturn’s fiery embrace. Pivotal is your Leo New Moon on August 13, a total solar eclipse, beginning a fateful 18-month cycle. The Jupiter/Saturn link perfects in late August, firing up September with big plans, spontaneous ideas, joyful times. Your sense of the possible expands now, defining new form and substance by September 27’s Full Moon when travel appeals. From December 9 to 24, there are some unexpected reminders of how you are loved. The human comedy speaks loudly in 2026.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Symbol Virgin Persephone, fertility goddess
Ruling planet Mercury
Catchphrase “I analyse.”
The Virgo Full Moon of March 3, a total lunar eclipse, opens the heart’s window, eclipsing the trickster “monkey mind”. These fateful times, led by the sign of the Fish, pull Virgo toward wider vistas to embrace the diversity of 2026. A new outer-planet era also presents you with vocational shifts, courtesy of Uranus. Pluto’s influence urges physical renewal, healing regimes. Your Virgoan ability to manage changes will be tested in late April and May. This brings new clarity, accelerating on June 15’s New Moon. A Mercury, Jupiter link lasts all month, adding sensitivity to a very dynamic time. When Mercury shifts into retrograde mode from June 29 until July 24, your networks and friendships are reviewed. Jupiter also shifts on July 1, intensifying your inner life and your willingness to use this retro phase for soulful introspection. This reaches a deeper level at the fateful eclipse of the Pisces Full Moon on August 28. A climax of emotional insights opens a window on old-soul business. If tested by disappointment or confusion at the Virgo New Moon of September 11, this will pass quickly. Your analysis and management skills are extra valuable from October 26 to November 25. Your earthy strengths flourish. Spirit • Astrology
Libra
September 23–October 22
Symbol Scales
Ruling planet Venus
Catchphrase “I balance.”
Venus-ruled Libra, you seek love, friendship and balance. Yet life is changing rapidly with both Saturn and Neptune in your partner sign. You dig deep in 2026. Demands that seem unfair, bad behaviour or unrealistic hopes could unbalance you on April 2’s Full Moon in Libra. Instead, breathe in the gentle sensual energy of Venus in Taurus, allowing body wisdom to still the mind. Saturn may present emotional hurts, yet Saturn also brings hard-won wisdom, a life gift apparent from mid-April to late July. Guided by that wise self, the rare Air/Fire harmonies of Uranus, Pluto and Neptune will midwife one of the most profound learning curves of your life. Your ruler, Venus, blesses you this year. She enters Libra on August 7, illuminating your life until September 10, then on the October 26 Full Moon, her retro motion brings her back to you. All of November into early December has an extended time of Venus resplendent in Libra. This means good fortune, harmonious relating and mental breakthroughs. From November 14 to December 4, her shift to direct motion brings a blessed time. Now the creative thrust of Venus in Libra gathers the plans and insights that have been cooking, presenting some very tasty results. 59
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
Symbol Scorpion
Ruling planet Mars/Pluto
Catchphrase “I create.”
Receptive by nature but also private, Pluto’s time in your home and family sign has tested you emotionally. Early March, then early May’s Scorpio Full Moon are sensitive points — times to reach out to non-judgemental friends or perhaps journal your feelings. Jupiter, exalted in Cancer, dances with your ruler, Mars, from March 13 to 30. This boosts your confidence, inspires love and creativity. Deeper wisdom guides you true, from April through June, as Jupiter’s journey enriches your imagination. In July, Jupiter shifts signs. Now its expansive energy illuminates vocational goals, challenging you, firing up your ambitions. Plans for a path to success are a strong focus. The potent lunar cycle starting July 14 gets you moving. Inspired ideas erupt when the Sun conjoins Jupiter on July 30’s Full Moon. Then you cut away excess and gain creative focus with August 13’s solar eclipse. When Venus enters Scorpio on September 11’s New Moon, the stars are aligned to raise your public profile. Once the Sun enters Scorpio, rapidly followed by the October 26 Full Moon, creative Venus energy takes charge. Yet her retrograde cycle says wait for November 14 to do your best work. This flows into December when Venus/Mars harmonies support joyful times and success.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Symbol Centaur
Ruling planet Jupiter
Catchphrase “I perceive.”
Sagittarius, you form strong unions in unusual ways in 2026. Through March, your ruler, Jupiter, has strong allies. You flourish emotionally, while retrograde Mercury helps you to release old family hurts. Fiercely independent, you love freedom in relationships. From April 26, Uranus, in your partner sign for years, will support this, maybe in unexpected ways. With Saturn and Neptune both in your zone of love and creativity, romantic dreams and cautious controls compete for space. So, keep cool when overloaded with emotions. Keep your mind open to love as a force. Tensions and complications ease, as an outer planet Fire/Air era supports you for years. When Jupiter enters Leo on June 30, more energy arrives. You resonate with passionate, fiery harmonies. A burst of focused action cements this from August 4 to mid-September. A Jupiter/Saturn alliance means possibilities explode, maybe including plans for the trip of a lifetime. September 27’s Full Moon takes this to the next level. In late October, raw feelings accelerate. These are tricky for the heady Archer, yet healing. Navigate life with an open heart, then November 25’s Full Moon in your partner sign opens the way to a December that liberates and stimulates you.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Symbol Goat
Ruling planet Saturn
Catchphrase “I use.”
The Goat climbs mountains in 2026 and your vision of the possible expands. From March 3’s Full Moon, life redesigns beckon. Saturn and Neptune are settled in your sign of home and family for years, so your dreams encompass shared adventure or maybe a new home. With Saturn, hard work and careful planning will actualise bold life moves. When these two join a six-planet lineup on April 17’s New Moon, you are on your way. Expansive Jupiter emphasises your loved ones as a source of inspiration, of support. Then, June 30 sees Jupiter shift into your investment sign, right on the Capricorn Full Moon. This is the key that opens the door, firing excitement. Do listen to the Uranus prompt to improve your health regime. This supports your wellbeing. Further help comes from Pluto — you dig deep to regenerate security strategies. A new project is always a treat for Capricorn. July 14 to 23 could raise doubts, then Mercury shifts into direct motion, aligning with Jupiter in mid-August. A path clears. Saturn and Jupiter hold a creative link from August 13 to September 25, rewarding determination with initial success. When Saturn moves into direct motion on December 9, you move ahead decisively.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Symbol Water bearer
Ruling planet Uranus/Saturn
Catchphrase “I know.”
In 2026, Pluto in Aquarius is a wide-open door, a door into the depths of self, into a new planetary era. While Pluto leads transformation, Neptune dissolves certainties. Your ruler, Saturn, is near Neptune, urging you to cement the same social roles that Neptune undermines. Pay attention to the insights that flood in from March 21 to 28. Juggle these contradictions. By late April, your other ruler, Uranus, joins in, stirring new creative ideas. Surprises and sudden plans arising generate excitement all year. May 22 to 28 and May 31 to June 5 stand out as special times. Be ready to gather new ideas, despite the sheer speed of their delivery. Dreams of future collaborations or new social roles start to materialise. July 24 to 30 takes it to the next level, heightening your creative imagination, seeding a fateful 18-month eclipse cycle. July 30 hosts a Full Moon in Aquarius, illuminating the connections that inspire you. From July, Jupiter shines upon partnerships, while August 7 to 18 expands your social pleasures. September 11 to 16, and 26 to 30, then October 7 to 16, unfold the steps towards a heartfelt vision. On December 9’s New Moon, you leap right in.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Symbol Two fish
Ruling planet Neptune/Jupiter
Catchphrase “I believe.”
March is special. On March 3, Mars joins the Sun, energising Pisces, exactly at your total lunar eclipse. As the Pisces Sun holds harmonious links with your ruler, Jupiter, dreams fall into place. Then March 19’s Pisces New Moon seeds a productive time. Earthy support from Uranus helps changes to occur naturally. Reinvention and regeneration come with the fateful eclipse axis in Pisces/Virgo. This axis exactly aligns with Mercury, when it shifts into direct motion on March 21. Since these helpful synchronicities extend through April, you are on a roll, even before the new era. This starts on April 26 and begins a few years in which your experience of home and family will change in unexpected ways. Since change-agent Uranus is part of a trio of new-era planets, heightened goals and deep transformations will also contribute. Both Neptune and Saturn move through your sign of finances all year, so May 22 to 31, July 23 to 30 and September 25 to 29 jump with big plans. However, Saturn’s retrograde cycle coincides with your Pisces Full Moon on August 28. Enjoy the lunar high, but consider waiting for Saturn’s direct cycle of December 9 to move ahead with current financial plans.
