~ StarFire and Soul Freedom ~

~ The Astrology of 2026 ~

After the intense Karmic clear up and back and forth energy of 2025, we enter a new year and a whole new astrological paradigm of Fire and Air element transits.

Saturnia, Neptunia and Urania will now fully ingress into Aries and Gemini, as Jupitera enters Leo and the North Node heads in Aquarius. We are no longer drowning in the astral waters, the healing journey is done and it is time to move forward with confidence into the new.

2026 a “1” year in numerology, ruled over by the energies of the Solar Goddess Herself, and the Magician/Magus Card of the Major Arcana.

This is a 12-month cycle of recognising our own power to create change in our reality, beginning with the Capricorn New Moon, on the 18^th of January. Sitting close to Mars, this lunation asks us to refine the foundations of our visions for the New year. to be realistic and practical about what we wish to build.

February 2026 brings us some of the most powerful astrology of our lifetimes, beginning with a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 17^th. Although the nodes will remain on the Pisces/Virgo axis until August, this eclipse gives us a taste of what we can expect when the North Node enters the sign of the Star Goddess later in 2026.

In the midst of the Eclipse Portal, Saturnia and Neptunia complete their long dance across the cusp of the Zodiac, conjoining at 0 degrees of Aries, the beginning of the silver wheel on the 20^th. This is truly unprecedented astrology. Neptunia and Saturnia have not conjunct in Aries since 1703 and have not merged on the 0-degree point since 4361BC, according to Astrologer Heather Ensworth.

This conjunction calls us out of the waters of dissolution, into radical new beginnings. We can finally see what is worth investing our energy into and courageously take steps to towards its manifestation. The highest aspect of Saturnian and Neptunian energy is the “crystallisation of the dream.”

It is an energy that allows us to solidify and root the dreams and visions we receive from the higher realms. The Aries element brings us the fire to take action, boldly envisioning a new future for ourselves and humanity.

On a collective level, this transit, working alongside the Pluto in Aquarius/Urania in Gemini transits will amplify the energies of revolution we having been seeing build. With Saturnia in Aries, the people no longer wish to give their power away to authorities outside themselves, yet Neptunia’s fog makes it hard for us to be coherent, dissipating our will and creating confusion.

 On a mundane level this Arian energy can play out as wars, or other military actions/restrictions put in place by governments. We also saw the news about Digital I.D roll outs as Saturnia entered Aries last year, as predicted. Aries rues over our Self Identity and autonomy, Saturnia is restriction, so we can expect this issue to be pivotal over the coming years.

Saturnia and Neptunia only conjoin once every 37 years. What is set into motion at this time will have long lasting repercussions that will impact us all for many years to come.

Mercuria begins Her first Retrograde of 2026 at 22 degrees Pisces on the 26^th of February. Mercuria will be retrograding in water signs in 2026, taking us deep into emotional realms to cleanse and heal.

Mars joins Venus, Sol and Mercury in Pisces on the 2^nd of March.

With the second Eclipse of this period falling in Virgo on the 3^rd of March, this is set to be a time of purification, surrender and restructuring as we head towards the Spring Equinox. Mercuria will Station direct on the 20^th of March, just as Sol enters Aries and the new astrological year begins. From this point on, things begin to feel lighter as the Aries energy re-awakens our life force.

The energy of the year continues to pick up speed as we head into April, with Mars also heading into the sign of the Ram, and Urania returning to Gemini on the 26^th. Urania will now remain in the sign of the Celestial Sistars for 7 years.

As we experienced briefly in 2025, This transit brings awakenings and insights, and more fast paced developments in the areas of social media and technology. We are upgrading our internal and external software! It is time to open our minds to new ways of thinking.

 It is important we work to stay grounded and regulated as this quicksilver energy pours in over the Beltane Season.

On June the 19^th Chiron enters Taurus for the first time since 1977! The collective healing journey now focuses on the areas of self-love, body image, values and finances. Chiron will retrograde back into Aries in September, returning to Taurus in April 2027.

Sol enters crosses the Solstice Threshold, entering the Nurturing Waters of Cancer on the 21^st of June. A week later on the 29^th of June, Mercuria will station retrograde for the second time this year, leading us in a month of Ancestral Healing and Soul Reflection. She will resume direct motion on the 23^rd of July.

On June the 30^th, Jupitera enters Leo for the first time in 12 years. In Leo, the Golden Goddess magnifies the frequency of Abundance, Creativity and Sovereignty. She reminds of the importance of doing what brings us joy, awakening our sensuality and encouraging us to dance, and play and make art. She teaches us to know ourselves through our creations.

The shadow side of Jupitera in Leo can be tyranny, and exaggerated sense of pride, a desire for power over others, and dramatics/emotional theatrics. This can be a ‘me first’ kind of energy. 

As Jupitera enters Leo, She will quickly oppose Plutonia in Aquarius marking the halfway point of their current Cycle which began in January 2020. As the Nodes also enter these signs in August, the collective polarisation between hierarchy (Leo) and anarchy (Aquarius) will become ever more intense.  Jupitera will also trine Neptunia and Saturnia in Aries as She moves through Leo, amplifying the need for self-expression and self-empowerment. 

Jupitera will remain in Leo until July 2027.

We also have our first Eclipse of the upcoming new Nodal Cycle in Leo on the 12^th of August, with the Nodes officially switching signs on the 18^th. With the North Node now in Aquarius until March of 2028, our collective focus will become even more attuned to the need for freedom. We can expect to see the themes of radical revolution and rebellion continue to unfold, as the Aquarian energy pushes us towards creating a fairer, more collaborative world. With the North Node and Pluto here, and Urainia now in Gemini for 7 years the already rapidly advancing technological world will begin to become ever more immersive making it hard to distinguish what is real and what is AI.

Only those who are able to sense soul energy will be able to instantly feel what has been created by a human, and what is artificial.

We must choose to focus on the higher Octaves of Aquarius, remembering our cosmic origins and focusing on our connection to something more than ourselves, ensuring we don’t get enmeshed in the Mass Hysteria /Hive Mind, chained to the Algorithms. The Aquarian desire for advancement and evolution must be balanced with Leo, the warmth of the open, generous heart.

The last time the North node was in Aquarius was December 19, 2007, to August 21, 2009.

The second Eclipse of this Period will be a Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees of Pisces, on the 28^th of August. This will be the last Eclipse in the sign of the Fish Mother for around 9 years, bringing culmination and completion to the journey of the previous 18month cycle.

Sol enters Libra, initiating the Autumnal Equinox on the 23^rd of September, brining a welcome moment of balance, before a fiery Aries Full Moon rises just 3 days later, illuminating the astrological axis of self and other.

As we descend into the Autumnal Months, we experince the most significant retrograde of the Year as Lady Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio on the 3^rd of October. Venus will retrograde between Libra and Scorpio.

The Star Point She makes on the 24^th of October, will be the last one in Scorpio in our lifetimes, as the StarPoint cycle shifts from the deep, dark waters of the Sorceress, where it has been since 1926 and into the airy Temple of Venus ruled Libra. 

This Venus Retrograde will take us down into the underworld realms of Ereshkigal to examine our shadows around relationships, sexuality and resources. By the time Venus stations direct at 22 degrees of the sign of Ma’ats Karmic Scales on the 14^th of November our relationship to ourselves and others will have undergone complete transformation.

Mercuria will also retrograde in Scorpio during this powerful Samhain time, amplifying the themes of soul excavation, guiding us to unflinchingly peel back the layers of falsehood to see the truth.

When Venus leaves Her retrograde shadow on the 16^th of December, we will be able to clearly what our true desires are.

Saturnia and Neptunia also Station direct as we move through the Solstice period, expanding our capacity to move forward once more.
