The New Year: 2026

Dear friends,

Happy New Year 2026! It’s been a whirlwind—erratic, hopeful, despairing, and almost unthinkable at the same time.

As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17th, 2026, let’s consider the powerful collective domain we are moving through. The call for Truth is real, and trust must be found within. We are engaging with the spin of change. Inside and outwardly, we must seek calm from the center of our own moral compass.

What does your True Self ask of you?

What part of your life is pushing forward with hopeful dreams and aspirations?

And how does this inner inquiry interact with the greater social body?

Are you listening to soulful wisdom?

Can you trust the future?

Can you release the past?

With information coming to us in all directions, there is so much to digest. Let’s take a look at the big picture, the key planetary cycles affecting humanity at this time.

Keep in mind, we’re not simply observing distant celestial bodies; we’re attuning to living archetypal forces that mirror the evolutionary rhythms within humanity. They map cycles of initiation, surrender, awakening, and becoming. We may observe them collectively and also personally (in our astrological birth chart) as they move in rhythm with the changing times.

Also, you may wonder how this celestial mapping reveals a story within your own life. Indeed, the mirror is there for each one of us—our own biology attuned to the rhythms of the Universe.

In 2026, the sky is speaking!

The year 2026 brings rare and powerful planetary shifts, thresholds of collective change. Each planetary cycle opens a gateway, inviting humanity into a new evolutionary chapter.

January 26, 2026: A spiritual ignition began as Neptune, planet of mysticism and dissolution, moved into Aries, awakening the mystic warrior, dissolving illusion, and calling forth courageous soul-truth. It is indeed a mystery at this time. How will this play out? In my estimation, no matter what, we need to believe what we see with our own eyes, examine what is clear, and resist media attempts to blur the vision of reality. We understand there are variable grey areas; total truth is never one-dimensional. However, it becomes our great work to dissolve the fog of illusion in all areas of life.

February 13, 2026: Saturn crosses the threshold into Aries, asking for inner strength, maturity, and sacred discipline. This is a year to build a new foundation, rooted in courage, not fear. The shift seeks maturation of all that Aries signifies—ego, authority, discipline, leadership, and autonomy. Saturn will unite with Neptune (in Aries), connecting two very different energies: form and etheric energy. How will this dynamic dissolve the hard edges of structure, softening perhaps, a significant breakdown of the past? The highest potential could indicate a sacred reckoning, a call to Soul, a union with Higher Power. This, of course, could go sideways into cult authoritarianism and increase the possibility of extremism—dangerous ideologies that blur reality. We must stay aware of these influences.

April 25, 2026: Uranus shifts into Gemini, accelerating change through the realms of mind, communication, technology, and collective intelligence. The future unfolds with great speed! Most of us voice concerns about AI and the effects it will have on our everyday life. Mental genius is heightened, along with concern for the preservation of human creativity and invention. The unexpected will arise; the solar system and space travel will be prevalent, as well as curiosity and research into death and dying, the supernatural, astral travel, and new research into the science of cellular communication. New terminology will be explored, such as the Biology of the Soul.

June 19, 2026: Chiron will move into Taurus. Highlights include a focus on material security, worth, stability, health matters, and the integrity of medicine and healing. The environment and resources of the planet will be concerns. All creatures, big and small, including human life, will be tested. Our greatest successes with Chiron in Taurus will be determined by our ability to stabilize balance between the natural world and human intervention. This opens a long cycle of healing the body, the Earth, and a return to what is real, grounded, and nourishing.

June 30, 2026: Jupiter expands into radiant Leo, offering renewed hope, creativity, and the possibility of heart-centered generosity. On July 19th, Jupiter will oppose Pluto in Aquarius at 4 degrees. Jupiter and Pluto aspects signify transformative energy that amplifies themes of power, wealth, and profound ideological shifts. These aspects occur roughly every 12–13 years, connecting Jupiter’s expansion with Pluto’s deep transformation, whether collective or personal.

July 26, 2026: An evolutionary collective destiny shift will occur when the North Node moves into Aquarius. How amazing! Pluto will be in alignment with the North Node, as will Jupiter. Here we see a progressive push toward future innovation and group consciousness, calling humanity toward community, awakening, higher vision, and the future of belonging. How will this all play out?

One thing is for certain: this is the work of our time.
