In the year ahead, we'll also experience a fiery sign change for Jupiter, the planet of expansion and fortune, as well as the dawning of a new, shakeup-bringing eclipse series. Expect multiple Mercury retrogrades wired to impact your emotional life, and a Venus retrograde in intimacy-seeking Scorpio and partnership-oriented Libra. Read on to discover the most impactful transits of 2026, according to an expert astrologer.
The Astrology of 2026: The Most Impactful Transits
January 26, 2026-March 23, 2039
On a personal level, you can anticipate the push to explore imaginative and spiritual endeavors through the lens of the Ram, which is assertive, go-getter, take-charge, and high-energy. You may be inspired to take bolder, more aggressive steps to protect and nurture your emotional and psychological well-being, and we’ll all be more inspired to champion individualism.
2. Saturn enters Aries
Saturn, the planet of boundaries, challenges, restrictions, responsibility, and commitment, has been in Pisces since 2023, bringing structure to areas of life associated with the Fish, such as emotional and psychological well-being, self-work, empathy, intuition, and spiritual healing. You might’ve had to learn hard lessons and get serious about how you’ve been caring for your mind and heart or experimenting with different ways to prioritize rest and downtime. Saturn offered us a sneak peek of its longer stay in Aries from May 24 to September 1, 2025, but from February 13, 2026 to April 12, 2028, it’ll take up residence there, bringing its signature authoritative, hardnosed effect to how we compete, strive to win, take the initiative, and assert ourselves. You’ll be nudged to consider whether or not the foundations, systems, and structures in your life are lending themselves to expressing yourself authentically and claiming your independence.
Since 2018, Uranus, the planet of rebellion and shocking change, has been in Taurus, the fixed earth sign, bringing stunning shifts to the financial world (hello, digital currencies and remote work), relationships and romance, values, and beauty. We got a glimpse of how it’ll behave while moving through mutable air sign Gemini when it had its first stint in the sign of the Twins from July 7 to November 7, 2025, but on April 25, 2026, Uranus will hunker down in Gemini for a seven-year stay.
4. Jupiter enters Leo
June 30, 2026-July 26, 2027
July 26, 2026 - March 26th, 2028
Since September 2024, the South Node in Virgo and the North Node in Pisces have hosted eclipses across the Virgo-Pisces axis. These lunar events have brought gasp-worthy life shifts for both of these signs, as well as the two other mutable signs, Gemini and Sagittarius, that will continue into early 2027. But on July 26, 2026, the South Node moves into Leo and the North Node occupies Aquarius, launching a new eclipse series that will impact the fixed signs.

6. Mercury retrogrades through all three water signs
Even just hearing that Mercury will be retrograde three times in 2026 might inspire a groan, but all planets undergo a retrograde period on occasion, and there’s a silver lining to each backspin. (And FWIW, Mercury retrogrades three or four times a year, so we’re actually getting off easy in 2026.) As noted in Mercury Magic: How to Thrive During Retrogrades and Tap Into the Power of the Messenger Planet All Year Long, the messenger planet’s retrogrades can be a fantastic opportunity to rest, recharge, revise, reflect, reimagine, and edit a particular area of life that the messenger planet is activating by moving back over your birth chart. But no matter your personal transits, it can help to consider more general themes associated with these periods.
