July begins with Mercury retrograde in late Cancer, Mars conjunct Uranus in early Gemini and Jupiter in early Leo opposing Pluto retrograde in early Aquarius. That’s a lot of energy foretelling major changes in those signs.

Mercury will be retrograde in Cancer through July 23, moving from 26 degrees back to 19 degrees within those dates. You know the dictum with Mercury retrograde, don’t sign or don’t buy big-ticket items during a retrograde period. And be aware that you may miss critical bits of information at this time.

The Mars / Uranus conjunction at 3° of Gemini is a little trickier as this combo is explosive and often associated with electrical issues, fires, accidents, earthquakes, volcanos and unexpected events that can be deadly. It is a hot, dry energy, which is currently the condition of many parts of the western US right now anyway. More forest fires are likely during this weekend and the following week. I would avoid being around fireworks during any July 4th activities with this energy in place.

I tend to think of Mars and Uranus together as accident-prone, but the energy can definitely be put to good use as it is happening in playful and fun Gemini so do something social, meet with friends in a spontaneous way or go dancing! Dancing is a great way to use the energy, even if you are dancing alone. So, shake your booty this weekend! It can also be lucky as it makes a sextile to Jupiter and a trine to Pluto.

On July 1st, Jupiter entered Leo, a compatible fire sign for him, but Jupiter tends to make things bigger, more extreme or just exaggerate anything it rules or touches. As he moves closer to the exact opposition with Pluto by July 19, this could also exacerbate the hot, dry, windy conditions as Leo is a fire sign and Aquarius is an air sign. Pluto is often associated with hidden agendas, secrets, crime, dictators, atomic power and the underworld. These two planets are fortunately making good aspects to the Mars / Uranus conjunction in Gemini so there’s some good coming out of this energy. We shall see whose secrets get revealed.

Venus moves from 20 degrees of Leo to 23 degrees of Virgo throughout the month and enters Virgo on July 9. Virgo is not all that comfortable for Venus as its fastidious nature clashes with her expansive, harmonious nature. Do your best not to be too critical of others at this time.

Saturn moves from 14 degrees, 12’ of Aries to 14 degrees, 45’ of Aries and begins its 4 1/2 month retrograde cycle on July 26. He goes back to 7 degrees 55’ of Aries by December 10, where he last was in the middle of April, 2026. There may be details you need to attend to related to that early spring period. Take time to make the necessary corrections to projects or issues uncovered during this retrograde.

Neptune moves slowly and begins its retrograde period on July 7, moving from 4 degrees, 25’ of Aries to 4 degrees 14’ of Aries during the month. Neptune’s energy can cause confusion, brain fog or just a lack of motivation in general, but particularly during the hot summer months when the body is under stress from the heat anyway. Rest when you feel the need and allow yourself some leeway to just read, relax or daydream. Not all of life needs to be linear and future oriented.

We also have the transiting nodes moving backward into new signs this month, going from 0 degrees, 45’ of Pisces (north node) and 0 degrees, 45’ of Virgo (south node) to 29 degrees 49’ of Aquarius (north node) and 29 degrees, 49’ of Leo (south node). The south node tends to dissolve or diffuse what it touches so people with planets or angles at 29 degrees of Leo will be affected the most.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19: You have two planets in your sign, Saturn and Neptune and both go into retrograde motion this month. While your ruler, Mars, joins up with Uranus in early Gemini for a highly energized pairing, Saturn is going to make you a little less lively with its station at 14 degrees. Watch your words if you are around any siblings as you’ll be misunderstood. But just let it go and don’t get sarcastic or snippy with them, laugh it off and move on. In any event, just be safe and don’t take risks in the first half of the month. The positive lunar vibes of the 6th, 7th and AM hours of the 8th favor you.

Taurus — April 20-May 20: Money could be a bit erratic this month with the Mars and Uranus vibe in your solar second house. It is most intense this weekend, but Uranus will be in that house for about 6 more years! Feel free to show off or dress really well the first 9 days of the month while your ruler, Venus, is transiting flamboyant Leo. You’ll feel more frugal and demure the rest of the month as the vibe shifts to conservative Virgo. Saturn demands you get adequate rest while in Aries and your solar 12th house, so take that nap! Your stellar days are the PM hours of the 8th, the 9th, and the AM hours of the 10th.

Gemini — May 21-June 21: With Mars conjunct Uranus, there’s an erratic or restless energy around you now, particularly for the first 10 days of the month. So, make sure you do something unusual and different from your normal amusements. And you Geminis, in particular, should dance a lot this weekend! Venus is transiting your 3rd and then 4th houses, so it’s time to be social. The outer planets and Jupiter are in great aspects to your sign, so feel free to open up to inspiration and new ideas. The PM hours of the 10th, the 11th and AM hours of the 12th are your best days.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: You have 2 planets in your sign and solar 1st house right now, the Sun and the Mercury retrograde. But Jupiter just moved into your 2nd house and you will gain some assets, money and self-esteem this coming year. You are still illuminated by that Jupiter transit and is now being reinforced by the Sun and Mercury. Enjoy the good vibes! With Mars and Uranus in your solar 11th house of friends, groups and professional associations, there’s some change afoot with that aspect of life, and new interests will be showing themselves to you. Say yes. The lunar vibes of the 13th and the new Moon on the 14th favor you.

Leo — July 24-August 23: Ah….Jupiter just entered your sign on the 1st where he will transit through until July of 2027. This should be quite fortuitous for you as Jupiter expands what it touches, and you can definitely expand your range of contacts, just be aware of the potential for weight gain. He also will rule the 5th and 8th houses, which rules creativity, fun, children and our natural intelligence for the 5th and end of life matters, insurances, taxes, deep psychology and transformation. Kind of a conundrum with that pairing of parts of life being expanded, in my opinion, but oh well, you just get through it and enjoy the new horizons. The days of the 15th and 16th should work out well for your intentions.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22:  The Mars / Uranus conjunction is happening at the top of your solar chart in the 10th house of profession/career/public image. You’ve got some major changes in front of you but you don’t feel you have to make the decision today. If you can delay decisions until the end of the month for big stuff, do so. Mercury, your ruler, will be in direct motion then and will be able to guide you to the best judgment. Keep the attitude, change is good, going strong within your mind. Your best days are the 17th and 18th.

Libra — September 23-October 22: There are interesting aspects happening for you as Mars and Uranus occupy your solar 9th house, the Sun and Mercury in your 10th, and Jupiter enters your 11th house, which Venus already inhabits. That’s public image territory and career advancement. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way and explore and join new groups and associations. It’s the old adage of “make hay while the sun shines”, with these planets gracing that part of your chart. Great days to make gains are the 19th and 20th.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Interesting aspects for you as Jupiter enters your solar 10th house and the Mars Uranus conjunction is in your solar 8th. There’s expansion in your career/profession/public image, but some kind of loss as well with an active 8th house and Pluto at the very bottom in the 4th. Jupiter gives you some protection and gains, but you have to be careful with your property and investments. Things are shifting and you need to stay on top of your assets and property. It all works out as those planets make positive aspects to each other, but it still could be a roller coaster at times. The lunar vibes favor you on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: Jupiter just entered Leo, a fellow fire sign, and begins to transit your solar 9th house of foreign travel, the law, religion, philosophy and publishing. There’s a lot that can happen for you with Jupiter in that house as he is expansive and positive. Maybe it’s time for a trip abroad or to someplace that feels different but also welcoming to you. Mars and Uranus in your solar 7th house indicates a sudden separation or split from a personal or a business relationship. Uranus will be in that house for about 6 more years so that part of life will remain fluid and changeable. It will be OK as sometimes things are just over and you both know it. Your best days are the 24th and 25th.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: With Saturn squaring your sign in Aries and going retrograde this month in your solar 4th house of home, real estate, and family, there’s a kind of stalled energy around that part of your life and then erratic, electric energy around other aspects of that house with the Mars / Uranus conjunction in your solar 6th house ruling the 4th house. You just gotta go with the flow here, as you could have some periods of doldrums and then almost emergency situations that require quick action. It will be kind of wild, so you’ll have to cope by being as prepared as possible for changes. If you have any real estate on the market, it may reflect this situation similarly. Good aspects with Jupiter for both these planets mean it will work out for the better. The lunar vibes on the 1st, 26th, 27th and 28th favor your sign.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19:  Saturn, your ruling planet, stations this month to begin his 4½ month retrograde period, stalling many activities in your solar 3rd house of short trips, siblings, neighbors and desires. It could also make you a bit reclusive during this time as it rules the 12th house, too, so don’t fight it. Don’t become a complete hermit but include some socializing with others in the mix. You can protect still nurture your internal space that needs that solitude to ground out. The 2nd, 3rd are stellar days and the full Moon happens in your sign on the 29th and it stays in your sign through the 30th so, use those positive vibes to be out in the world.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: You get some relief this month as the nodes change signs and the north node moves out of Pisces and into Aquarius. You will notice you start to feel calmer and less restless very soon. Mars and Uranus are in your solar 4th house, so you may have some unusual disruption in your home, with family members or any real estate you own. Uranus will be there for another 6 years, so you may be feeling you need to move to a different location as this transit may trigger you to consider it in the near future. Jupiter enters your solar 6th house of health, so you will be motivated to improve your health and daily habits, or create a new routine with your work. Jupiter will be in that house for the next year so you can take a bit of time to figure out what you need to do. The 4th, 5th and 31st are your days of good fortune this month.

Namaste,

July 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post July 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

The month begins with all the planets, with the exception of Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, transiting in the signs between Aries and Cancer. So, we have the intensity of them grouped in 4 of the zodiac signs and all the elements of fire, earth, air and water are represented. No excuse not to get something started with that lineup.

Mercury moves into the sign of Cancer on June 1st and transits to 26 degrees of Cancer before he goes into his retrograde motion phase on the 29th. The little dude gets back to 16 degrees of Cancer when he goes direct on July 23rd. Anyone with planets or angles in the latter part of Cancer will have something to review, re-do or re-evaluate.

Venus, still blazing beautifully in the western sky after sunset, moves from 15 degrees of Cancer to 19 degrees of Leo throughout the month. She enters Leo on June 13th so that fire sign gets her charming but demanding, “look at me” energy.

Mars is traveling through the sign of Taurus almost all month and goes into Gemini on June 29th. The following week is a time to use caution as Mars will be in a conjunction aspect with Uranus and those two together can be accident-prone, erratic or maddeningly contentious and argumentative when in Gemini.

Jupiter moves through the last six degrees of Cancer through the month and enters Leo on the 30th, where he functions pretty well, but just needs a lot of attention. Jupiter is considered the great benefic planet of the zodiac so he wants to produce gains and progress for people, in general.

Saturn covers the degrees of 12 degrees, 12’ to 14 degrees, 12’ in the sign of Aries. This could be a testy time for those with planets around those degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn as he will go into his retrograde phase the last week of July and hit them again through the months of August and September. There is a lesson to be learned so pay attention to what responsibilities you have to take care of in the next 6 weeks. No slacking off where Saturn is concerned.

Uranus in Gemini moves from 2 degrees 5’ to 3 degrees 43’ and is in a nice trine with Pluto and an agreeable sextile with Neptune. When Mars goings into Gemini at the end of the month, then you might see and feel some fireworks for the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. So, exercise caution at that time.

Neptune is in Aries and moves from 4 degrees, 4’ to 4 degrees, 24’. That 4th degree in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn is vulnerable to setbacks or confusing circumstances as Neptune can produce anything from brain fog to dishonesty to addictions to mystical revelations to inspirational artistry.

Pluto is retrograde, still moving slowly, and covers 5 degrees, 22’ back to 4 degrees, 52’ in the sign of Aquarius. You will likely see the public at large speaking out and becoming more involved with protesting injustices and filing lawsuits against the politics of coercion and control. And that’s a good thing.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19:  With both Neptune and Saturn transiting your sign, you can be idealistic, but you also need a plan to enact for that idealism to succeed. The Sun and Uranus in Gemini can help you formulate that plan during the first week, in particular. This is a long-term transit, so don’t expect huge results in the beginning. Follow through and show up for it to work. Your stellar days this month are the 9th and 10th, so be alert to what is coming your way on those days.

Taurus — April 20-May 20:  With Mars transiting through your sign this month, you can expect some surges of energy for the accomplishment of your goals as long as those goals include comfort, security and stability. Only then are you motivated to get on with it. Include some pleasurable social outings, meetings with friends and entertainment in the mix, so you don’t feel too out of the loop of life. Venus and Jupiter in the sign of Cancer help you identify those needs and provide for them. The positive lunar vibes on the 11th and 12th are favorable for you.

Gemini — May 21-June 21: You are still being stimulated by Uranus in your sign and will continue to be for the next 7 years! Life will radically change for you by the end of this electrifying transit. With Venus, Jupiter and soon-to-be Mercury in your solar 2nd house, there may be additional expenses or temptations to spend money on this month, so resist the urge to do so too often. Saturn and Neptune in your solar 11th house can represent an overhaul of the relationships you have with friends, business groups and society at large for you in the next few years. Stay in alignment with your authentic self. The 13th and 14th are very positive days for you.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in your sign in your solar 1st house should practically guarantee some positive vibes and solid companion or social invitations for you. The only downside is some possible weight gain! Neptune and Saturn are in your 10th house of profession and career, so aim for the best for yourself and know that any moves made now will probably last for at least 2 years. Uranus and the Sun in your solar 12th also want some alone time for you, so take it when it shows up, rather than plan too rigidly. Pluto in your 8th has positive aspects, and that’s a good thing. The 8th house can be a bit devastating, but right now, Pluto is your friend if you dig deep in your own psyche to explore your motivations. The 15th and 16th are very positive days for you.

Leo — July 24-August 23: With Mars in your 10th house and Uranus and the Sun in your solar 11th house, you have a desire to do something different professionally to make some kind of positive, new impact in the world. You are psyched and motivated. Be careful about your money and cash flow, and be judicious about how it’s spent. Leo likes to do things big, but right now pull in the reins a bit to test the waters on this idea. Saturn and Neptune in fellow fire sign Aries support the idea but want you to be guided by practicality as well. Wait until Jupiter gets into the sign of Leo to launch. The 17th and 18th are your stellar days.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: The transiting nodes are getting closer to going over your ASC/DSC horizon line, on your solar 1st and 7th house cusps. This can indicate some kind of change of status, perception by others, a physical change or a new partnership. It can sometimes be hard on your physical self, so when you need extra rest or just a retreat from the world, take it. The rest and retreat approach with this transit is present through early September. It will make a significant difference in your attitude in the future. The Sun and Uranus in your 10th house of career indicate that change is needed and coming in your very near future. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in your solar 11th will bring in something beneficial professionally in. Let that be your guide to the next step. The 19th, 20th and AM house of the 21st are your best days.

Libra — September 23-October 22: With Venus, your ruling planet, in the feminine, water sign of Cancer, along with Mercury and Jupiter, this can be a time of great progress and deeper connections with others, particularly through your career, profession and public image. With the Sun and Uranus in fellow air sign of Gemini, you have additional wit, charm and magnetism on your side. Do what you will with those gifts now while they are so strong. Neptune and Saturn in your house of partnerships give some blessings and hardships, so just exhale and do what is necessary when it gets challenging. The PM hours of the 21st, the 22nd and the 23rd are your days of positive influence.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Mars is transiting Taurus, which is opposite you, so you may find yourself having to do things for others rather than meet your own needs first. That’s just life, and it’s your turn in the scheme of things, so just do it. There will be a reward when the time comes. Pay attention to home maintenance as Pluto is Rx and getting powerful again in the 4th house. Sometimes when Pluto is powerful in the 4th, one suffers a loss through storms, winds, natural causes or the city decides to dig up the road in front of your house. Something gets unearthed and discovered. In any event, just pay attention and don’t ignore anything that doesn’t look normal. Use the positive vibes of the 24th, 25th and AM hours of the 26th to do something special for yourself.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: There looks to be a lot of benefit coming your way with Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in your solar 8th house of gains from insurances, investments and inheritances. There is some weirdness around your 7th house with Uranus right there on the angle, though. I would say, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It could be an investment scheme. Also, use caution with new love relationships, as you may be deluding yourself about where the other person is coming from. Take care of your health, and it’s time to get more active now that winter is over. Enjoy the good lunar vibes on the 1st, 27th and 28th.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: With Saturn in the middle of Aries now, something has come to light about your solar 4th house themese as you are about a third of the way through this transit in that house. It often times means you have to take extra responsibility with family members and/or family matters. On a happier note, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in your solar 7th house of partnership brings lots of gains and support for all things contractural. And your spouse is positively there for you. Uranus and the Sun in your 6th house bring in some changes in routines, habits and daily work-related responsibilities. This can be good, but you won’t like the process of getting used to something new. Use the positive vibes on the 2nd, 3rd, the full Moon on the 29th and the 30th to your best advantage. That’s a lot of really good days.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19: Pluto is retrograde in your solar first house, indicating some kind of physical transformation is taking place or is about to. Just keep paying attention to your health and wellbeing as that is in the forefront with 3 planets transiting your 6th house of health, work and routines. Mars is also in your 4th house, so the next 2 months would be a good time to do some renovation or just fix the things that are broken. Uranus and the Sun are transiting your 5th house of fun, pleasure, creativity and children, so remember to include those things in your life now. Your best days are the 4th, 5th and 6th.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: Jupiter is pretty close to Venus now and you can observe them in the western sky after sunset. It’s quite a beautiful sight. With Uranus and the Sun in your solar 4th house, there’s some kind of shake-up coming regarding your home, immediate family and real estate. I wouldn’t be surprised if you are considering moving soon. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in your solar 5th house bring pleasures from your children, your creativity and passion. As the nodes get closer to your horizon, ASC/DSC, you may get new opportunities coming your way for work coming your way, or maybe your spouse will. Use the good vibes on the 7th and 8th to gain favor with others and enjoy life.

Namaste,

May 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post June 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

We begin the merry month of May with a full Moon in Scorpio and just Mars and Pluto making aspects to the other planets that day. That just feels odd to me, though not all the aspects are negative. It just seems a bit intense as both Mars and Pluto are associated with the sign of Scorpio. The next day the Moon makes a trine to Jupiter and things feel easier, more harmonious and stable.

So, we move ahead with Mercury at 26 degrees of Aries conjunct Chiron at 27 degrees, a short skirmish with the wounded healer and then he moves into the sign of Taurus on May 3rd- May 17th which seems relatively stable. He moves into Gemini on May 17th and encounters wild card planet, Uranus, which can be inventive and unusual. But the little dude thrives in Gemini, so it could be a genius moment. Mercury finishes the month at 28 degrees of Gemini.

Venus is in Gemini now and moves from 8 degrees to the end of Gemini on May 19th and then glides into Cancer, where she is very comfortable and protective of others. She ends the month at 14 degrees of Cancer and will be moving closer to Jupiter’s position in the first week of June.

Mars, in its home sign of Aries, is at 16 degrees of Aries and finishes that sign on May 19th. Then he enters Taurus, a sign he is not all that comfortable in because Taurus is relatively placid and Mars likes a lot of action. Mars ends the month at 9 degrees of Taurus.

Jupiter is still transiting Cancer, his exaltation sign, and moves from 18 degrees, 59’ to 23 degrees 57’. Venus will join Jupiter in this sign on May 19th and this pair will help calm and heal the turbulence of recent times.

Saturn is in Aries and moves from 9 degrees 12’ to 12 degrees, 12’ by May 31st, and makes a positive sextile aspect to Venus and Mercury as they move through the middle degrees of Gemini in the middle of the month. He then makes a sextile aspect to the Sun in Gemini by the end of the month. This improves communication and shifts it out of the combative state that was happening for most of April.

Uranus entered Gemini on April 26 and moves 2 degrees throughout the month of May. Venus made a conjunction to Uranus on April 23, and then the Moon conjuncts it on May 16th, Mercury joins Uranus on May 17th and the Sun on May 20th. There is a potential for odd events or major changes on those days. Uranus is known for its genius, sudden changes and dramatic turns of events and gets activated when other planets or the luminaries move into the same degree.

Neptune moves from 3 degrees 16’ of Aries to 4 degrees, 3’ throughout the month. It makes a sextile aspect to both Pluto and Uranus this month. Because all three of them are outer planets they are considered generational in their effects, so there is a big opportunity through the rest of the year for major shifts within the culture and the world.

Pluto begins its retrograde cycle on May 6 and so it is powerful all month as it moves from 5 degrees, 30’ back to 5 degrees, 22’ of Aquarius. A critical time would be from May 22 through May 28th when Mars in Taurus will make a square aspect to Pluto. Avoid conflicts at that time and take care of the people around you.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19:  With Mars still transiting in the sign of Aries through May 19th, you have an abundance of energy and drive for accomplishments now. Use this to your best advantage as after the 19th, it wanes a bit and other things, like planting a garden or caring for your property, may take center stage. Saturn stays in your sign for another 2 years so stability and structure should be part of your long term action plan, so learn to be patient. The 13th and 14th are your stellar days.

Taurus — April 20-May 20:  With 4 planets in your solar 12th house, there is a behind-the-scenes energy around your activities at the beginning of the month but that changes when Mercury enters your sign on May 3rd. You become much more visible, energetic and verbal through the 17th. Venus in Gemini in your solar 2nd house tends to be highly social and maybe a bit too generous with money so be aware of that tendency and temper your urges to buy, buy, buy! Jupiter in Cancer wants comfort and familiarity, so find things to do that satisfy that urge. The lunar vibes on the 15th and 16th, the new Moon, favor you.

Gemini — May 21-June 21: This month has lots of unusual energy in store for you and you won’t be bored! Uranus is now in your sign for the next 7 years and major changes will be coming your way. Mercury in your sign also brings in new opportunities around the 16th and the Sun solidifies things after the 19th. Things could happen very quickly, so be prepared and get ready to be decisive. Venus graces your sign through the 19th so be social and if you are in the market for a relationship, something could come in this month. Your best days are the 17th and 18th.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: With 4 planets in Aries in your solar 10th house of career, public image and reputation, there’s some internal and external maneuvering you must do to get where you want to go. Saturn likes to be in this house but it does seem to test a person and add more responsibility along the way. Know your limits and remember to rest adequately during this time as you’ve got 2 years of this Saturn energy but it won’t be as demanding as the last month has been. Jupiter in your sign and your solar 1st house gives you stamina and protection, if not a little extra weight (sorry). Your stellar days are the 29th and 20th.

Leo — July 24-August 23: With four planets in Aries in your solar 9th house of beliefs, foreign countries, higher education and philosophy you may want to travel abroad, or maybe you just got back from a trip. In any event, you may be planning on using the education you gained to bring something new into the world with that knowledge. All of the planets are transiting above the horizon in your chart so you still have the desire to contribute to the world at large and remain in the public eye. Leos like to remain relevant and to be seen. Use the positive vibes on the 21st and 22nd to further your cause.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: Uranus is now at the top of your solar chart so you are thinking of making some kind of radical change with your career, or how you function in your profession. Uranus has a bit of a separating energy so you may want to strike out on your own in some way or work remotely or even quit your current position. Uranus usually makes us impatient with the status quo and wants some kind of change. While it might not be easy, you’ll end up in a place better suited to your needs right now. The lunar energy on the 23rd and 24th favors you.

Libra — September 23-October 22:  With 4 planets in your solar 7th house of partnership, your partner’s needs may be of particular importance this month, as well as some joint financial concerns. Take your time about making any big long-term decisions as more information will come in at the middle of the month that will fill in the details you need to be better informed. With Venus transiting your solar 9th house and moving towards your 10th house of career and public image, you’ll get a break towards the end of the month regarding a project you’ve been working on. Use the positive energy on the 25th, 26th and 27th to further your cause.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22:  The full Moon occurs in your sign on the 1st, signaling a culmination of something in your life, but there is still plenty of work to be done, with 4 planets in your solar 6th house of work, duty, service and health. You may have extra family responsibilities now that seem daunting and endless with Pluto in your solar 4th house of family, ancestors and real estate. Pluto moves very slowly. Fortunately, Jupiter is transiting your 9th house, giving you some protection and a higher vision view of the situation. Ask for help from others. Things improve a lot by the middle of the month. Your best days to ask for favors are the 1st, 2nd, 28th and 29th.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: Jupiter, the ruler of your sign, is transiting Cancer, the sign of its exaltation, and is a big help for you with a positive boost in morale. Because it is in your solar 8th house there is a possibility of an inheritance, an investment gain or some other income stream that will give you stability and security. Sounds good to me! There may be a few hoops you have to navigate with siblings or offspring but it all seems pretty positive for the long run here. Do something that feeds your creativity or plan a long-distance trip for the future to give yourself something to look forward to. Great days to do that are the 3rd. 4th, 30th and 31st, which is a full Moon.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20:  With 4 planets still transiting your solar 4th house of home, family, ancestors and real estate, you might be handling a situation with a family member that needs care and your attention. Saturn will be in this house for the next 2 years, so there is the timetable to consider for your decision-making. The pressure or urgency lets up in the middle of the month so know that some planetary help is on the way and you’ll feel real relief. When that happens, give yourself a bit of a vacation and enjoy what life has to offer. Let the positive lunar vibes on the 6th and 7th give you some time off for restoration.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19: Pluto is still in your sign and very powerful this month as he stations at 5 degrees and moves into his retrograde phase from May 6 through the middle of October, 2026. You’ll feel some pressure to get something handled that has been bothering you for a year or so. Take it on and clean up the loose ends during this retrograde period. 4 planets in Aries in your solar 3rd house of neighbors, siblings, skills and short trips give you focus on those areas of life. Find the time to improve a skill you have at this time as well. Your stellar days are the 8th and 9th.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: With Jupiter favorably transiting fellow water sign, Cancer, this is a supportive vibe for your creativity, enjoying time with your children and trying new and fun things in life. The only downside could be some additional expenses coming in this month, for example, you need an expensive car repair, or something like that. Things ease up towards the middle of the month and you feel more connected with siblings and family members, maybe even traveling to them for a visit. You might also be considering a move from your current home to another home as something’s brewing when Uranus connects with your 4th house, which is happening this year. Don’t rule it out! Your best days are the 10th, 11th and 12th.

Namaste,

May 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post May 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

The month begins with a lovely full Moon in Libra at 12 degrees, 21’.  But with the opposition from the Sun and Saturn in Aries, it could be a tense one as the exalted Sun in Aries wants quick action and Saturn, not his best in Aries, wants a slower, well- planned scenario.  This makes for a difficult beginning to the month, or just a disappointing one.

Mercury continues to move forward in Pisces but it will take until April 8 before he clears the degree he retrograded on at the end of February.  Misunderstandings are still possible with Mercury in  Pisces as it is not its best placement.  Venus just moved into her sign of Taurus, where she feels at home, comfortable and appreciated.  She enters Gemini on April 24th after a little dustup conjunction with Uranus between the 20th and 24th. This blend of energies has the potential for upheaval and financial reversals.  It can also be hard on relationships as it tends to have a separating effect on them.  Uranus follows her into Gemini on the 26th where he will transit for just about 7 years.  And you thought Gemini’s were nuts before this, just you wait and see!

Mars ends its sojourn through Pisces on April 10th and enters Aries, the sign he rules.  This energy just crackles with potential but it can be hot headed and act with haste.  The worst period for this in between April 14th and April 19th when Mars moves closer to Saturn’s position at 7 degrees Aries.  They are rather war like together and Mars tends to overpower the situation.  Avoid conflicts if you can on the 18th and 19th of the month.  I am not liking that energy right now.  Mercury moves close to Mars and Saturn between the 18th and 20th and that can also be kind of aggressive in the sign of Aries.   I expect there will be a serious blame game going on then.   This energy doesn’t really subside until around April 25th.  Take note, don’t start anything new between April 14th and April 25th.  It’s just too volatile of a time period for things to go smoothly.

Jupiter, continues its movement through the sign of Cancer, moving between the 15th degree and almost the 18th degree by month’s end.  Jupiter is very stable and peaceful in Cancer and gets very protective about those he cares about in this sign.  It is actually good that Jupiter is here at this bizarre time for the world.

Saturn, as I said earlier, is in the sign of Aries and not too happy to be there and moves from 5 degrees, 37’ to 9 degrees, 5’ through the month.  The transit of Mars will upset its normal stable and competent guidance so there may need to be a recovery time as that aspect fades after the 19th.  Take a deep breath and let it out long and slow.

Uranus enters Gemini for the second time and remains in that sign through the early spring of 2033.  Expects lots of changes surrounding communication, technology, personal devices and the internet.  Security about technology that moves through the ethers will be a big focus during this period.

Neptune is in Aries and moves from 2 degrees 13’ to 3 degrees 14’ during the month. It makes a sextile aspect to both Venus and Uranus in Gemini after the 25th so that can be positive.  It also makes a sextile aspect with Pluto in May so there may definitely be some major transformation potential in the air.  Remain positive and do what you can to stabilize your life and place in the universe.

Pluto is in Aquarius and moves from 5 degrees 13’ to 5 degrees 30’ and is gaining in power throughout the month as it stations to go retrograde on May 6th.  Pluto is ultimately about  transformation and Aquarius is associated with progressive power, tolerance and respect for the individual, independence and also humane and altruistic principles.  I hope those principles are honored at this difficult time.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19: By April 9th, there will be four planets, plus Chiron, in your sign. This lineup includes Mars, your ruling planet.  Hear me roar, rings in my head with this stellium but it is diluted a bit the first few days as Neptune dilutes the urge for action.  Mars with Neptune would rather stop by the bar for a drink or two rather than charge ahead.  But after that interlude, Mars ramps up for action as it charges towards Saturn.  Will Saturn tone it down?  I don’t think so as Saturn is weak in Aries and Mars is super strong.  In your personal life, stay active to burn some of this energy off and don’t be too aggressive with others.  It evens out after the 25th, but don’t be surprised if there are some hurt feelings and you have some apologies to make.  Your stellar days are the 15th and 16th.

Taurus — April 20-May 20: With Venus, your ruling planet, in your sign for most of the month, this is a great time to entertain, to enjoy and beautify your home and share quality time with friends and family.  Some excitement is in order between the 20th and 25th as Venus moves towards a conjunction with Uranus, the great awakener.  For people looking for a relationship, you could find yourself attracted to someone completely different than your normal leanings.  It may not last for long but it could definitely have something to teach you.  Then Venus enters Gemini, where she is the perennial flirt, so have fun with that, too.   Your best days are the new Moon on the 17th and the 18th.

Gemini — May 21-June 21:  You have a good thing going on this month with 4 planets in Aries, making a sextile to your sign and Pluto in Aquarius making a trine!  By the end of the month you will have both Venus and Uranus entering your sign, so some unusual events or adventures are in order.   Uranus will be there for almost 7 years so get ready for some major changes in almost everything in your life.  This will shock some people but they find you flaky anyway.  You are just responding to the vibes of Uranus moving through your sign and signaling, it’s time to move on and try something new and different.  So don’t fight the urge, just walk on towards your next adventure.   The 19th and 20th are the best days of the month for you.

Cancer — June 22-July 23:  Jupiter is still having its protective influence in your sign so you have that going for you.  This month presents some challenges as the 4 planets plus Chiron in Aries, which squares Cancer, throws some curve balls your way.  Watch your temper between the 14th and 20th as Mars will conjunct Saturn at 7 degrees of Aries and that can definitely cause some grief and obstacles.  The end of the month improves greatly but you’ll still have to deal with some aftermath of the restrictions imposed on you.   Use the positive vibes of the 21st, 22nd and the AM hours of the 23rd to get your way.

Leo — July 24-August 23: With 4 planets and Chiron in Aries now making a trine relationship to you, things should greatly improve in your life.  They have not only changed signs but they also changed houses and are now in the positive 9th house.  Those pesky planets when they were in Pisces were in your 8th house of endings, transformations, taxes and end of life matters, never much fun.  The 9th is more philosophical, enjoys travel, and higher-minded pursuits.  Jupiter is still in Cancer in your solitary 12th house so you may still be a bit reclusive and that’s OK.  Use the stellar vibes of the PM hours of the 23rd, the 24th and 25th to enjoy life and whatever you are doing.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: This month with 4 planets and Chiron all transiting in Aries in your solar 8th house, you’ve got money, taxes, investments, end of life matters and then some on your mind.  Luckily, Venus is in Taurus for most of the month and in your positive solar 9th house, which is a very favorable placement.  Take time off to enjoy life this month and have a few adventures.  Jupiter is nicely placed in your solar 11th house of friends, business associates and hopes, wishes and dreams, so you have some protection around you in those areas of life.  The lunar vibes of the 26th and 27th are your best days.

Libra — September 23-October 22: With Venus, your ruling planet, in Taurus, you should have some comfort and happiness in your life right now.   However, with the 4 planets and Chiron in your solar 7th house your partner may some issues to be concerned about.  Mars together with Saturn is kind of an emergency conjunction and between the 16th-20th could bring a change in their demeanor, mobility or just extreme frustration with something going on in their life.  Be patient, as after April 25th, things ease up or the problem gets solved, so do what is necessary but don’t get too upset, as this is temporary.  The positive vibes of the 28th, 29th and AM hours of the 30th are your best days.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Mars, also your ruling planet, is in its other home sign, Aries, after the 10th so you get a boost from that favorable energy.   However, the Aries energy occupies your solar 6th house of health and illness, small pets, routines, co-workers and those we serve.  It could be a little dicey for you between the 16th-20th when Mars is conjunct Saturn as they aren’t friends.   Avoid confrontations and reschedule any meeting with difficult clients until after the 25th, when things generally ease up.  Do things that improve your health and habits.  The cosmos favors you on the 3rd, 4th 5th and PM hours of the 30th.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20:  With Jupiter transiting its exaltation sign of Cancer and moving through your solar 8th house, you may receive a windfall from an investment, an inheritance or some kind of surprise gift of money.  What’s not to like about that?  The Aries planetary lineup is transiting through your solar 5th house of creativity, love affairs, our passions and things we do for fun.  Also, not a bad thing, except for Saturn being in there, like the spinster teacher at the HS dance, slowing things down and creating an air of disapproval.  Bummer.  But in any event, you can still go about doing things but keep a lower profile and don’t splurge on expensive items.  Enjoy what you can, particularly on the 6th and 7th, your lucky days. .

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: Saturn, your ruling planet, is now in Aries, the sign of its detriment so don’t expect things to be super easy.  You’ve got two more years of this so buckle down for more responsibility, a concentration of things to handle and less time for just having fun.  You will get a reward for your efforts when this transit is over in May of 2028!  The 4 stellium planetary lineup in Aries is transiting your solar 4th house of home, family, real estate and ancestors so some of the responsibility may come from having to care for or provide assistance to an aging family member.  That’s what Saturn often does in the 4th house.   Enjoy the lunar vibes of 8th 9th and 10th as the Moon transits your sign.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19:  Saturn in Aries is actually making a nice sextile to your sign so you can make gains during this time.  It is transiting your solar 3rd house of neighbors, siblings, communication and your interests.  This could be a time for solidifying those relationships and being a trustworthy ally to those around you.  Venus joins Uranus at the end of Taurus in your solar 4th house so you may have a sudden and unexpected change in some family or real estate matter, so don’t be surprised it something new presents itself towards the end of April.   The positive vibes on the 11th and 12th favor Aquarians.   

Pisces — February 20-March 20: With Jupiter, your ruling planet, in its exaltation sign of Cancer and making a trine to your sign, you’ve got some good fortune around you, your family and loved ones as this is happening in your solar 5th house of children, creativity, fun and our greatest passions.  Mars in Pisces until the 9th is also assisting with your good vibes but between the 14th and 23rd things could get tense or you have an expensive outlay you didn’t expect to incur.  Yes, it will be frustrating and yes, you will get through it.  Be particularly careful at that time and also around the 23-25th when Venus will be close to Uranus, this could also be a disruptive time and could cost you money.  So just be cautious and don’t move around too quickly.  The good lunar vibes of the 13th and 14th favor you.

Namaste,

April 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post April 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

March begins with a waxing Moon in Leo, approaching the full Moon total eclipse degree of 12 degrees 54’ of Virgo on March 3rd. It should be visible through most of the country with a reddish color, hence the name “blood moon” moniker in the early hours on Tuesday, depending on your time zone.

The Sun, Mercury retrograde and Venus are also in Pisces at this time with Mars about to join them on March 2, 2026. That lineup will make for a bit of a confusing time as the Sun and hot, dry Mars don’t function well in the cold, passive, water sign and neither does Mercury, who is in its retrograde period until March 20th.

Venus, however, loves to be in her exaltation sign, where she will remain until March 5, after which she enters the sign of Aries, an active, masculine, fire sign. So, most of the above-mentioned planets are not particularly well placed this month. This may contribute to the strange vibes or misguided energies in the first couple of weeks.

Jupiter goes direct on March 11 at 15 degrees 14’ of Cancer, his exaltation sign, which should help clarify matters and administer justice as it will be in a trine relationship with the Pisces planets. Saturn, who is still conjunct Neptune in the early degrees of Aries, moves away from Neptune by the end of the month to 5 degrees, 29’ of Aries. Venus pairs up with this duo between March 6th and the 10th as she then moves beyond their influence. The arts can make a valuable contribution to the world at that time.

Uranus continues his forward motion towards Gemini and moves from 27 degrees, 44’ to 28 degrees, 44’ of Taurus. There could be big swings in the financial world and in the markets this month as the last few degrees of Taurus are the most difficult and Uranus increases that instability by its nature of chaos, revolution and sudden changes.

Neptune proceeds from 1 degree, 3’ through 2 degrees, 11’ of Aries, becoming more familiar with the action component of the fire sign of Aries, though I still feel its positive influence isn’t being felt at this point. And Pluto remains in the sign of Aquarius and moves forward from 4 degrees 33’ to five degrees 13’ of that active, fixed, masculine, air sign. It makes a sextile relationship with Saturn and Neptune most of the month, which can present new opportunities to contemplate and act upon.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19: You’ll be rising out of your rather sustained state of entropy this month when Venus enters your sign on the 5th and then again at the equinox when the Sun enters Aries, joining both Saturn and Neptune early in that sign. This means you will rejoin, “the fight” so to speak and start initiating action on your life path. The lunar vibes favor you on the 19th and 20th, so carry on with cosmic favor on those dates.

Taurus — April 20-May 20: With Venus still in Pisces through March 5th, you have a relatively easy first week and then things get more “real” as you have some financial matters and business dealings to look after. There is more uncertainty after the 10th with Venus entering Aries in your solar 12th house of endings, solitude, karma and surrender. Still the planets transiting Pisces support you this month and help you keep life moving forward. The cosmos also supports you getting your way on the 21st and 22nd.

Gemini — May 21-June 21: This month favors a re-evaluation of your professional life with Jupiter going direct and Mercury being retrograde through the 20th of the month. You are missing the mark in some way and there is a need for more creative thinking and a new path. The eclipse on the 3rd will clarify matters as it squares your sign, but it could also indicate an abrupt ending. Uranus will be entering your sign at the end of May so there’s your timeline. It’s best you choose your direction so the universe doesn’t have to pluck you out of your current situation and force a change. Your stellar days are the 23rd and 24th.

Cancer — June 22-July 23:With a full Moon total lunar eclipse on the 3rd, you have a very helpful stellium of planets in fellow water sign of Pisces going for you. This can create more professional opportunities for you and people will be attracted to you and be supportive of your goals and ambitions. Mars enters Pisces on the 2nd and will also help your general goals in a flowing manner, no force required! This eclipse, however, could be a forerunner to a future move for work. Carve out time for yourself on the 25th and 26th as the lunar vibes favor you.

Leo — July 24-August 23: You are aided this month by looking at the big picture, while at the same time, calculating your timing to avoid a potential financial loss. It is a month to stay close to home and take care of business. Pluto in your 7th house of partnerships says to take great care with whom you’re are involved with as not all associations yield positive results…some just take you to the dark side. Just say no, no matter what carrot is dangled in front of you. Take good care of yourself on the 1st, 27th, 28th and the AM house of the 29th, as a little pampering is in order.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: This full Moon total lunar eclipse on March 3rd hits your sign as all the current planets in Pisces oppose the Moon’s position in Virgo. You may feel picked on, not appreciated or unduly criticized. It’s for real and not an imagined scenario, but it has more of a passive-aggressive signature than overt opposition. So, you take the high road while plotting your exit. This could take 6-9 months to pull off to your benefit and satisfaction. The positive vibes on the 2nd, 3rd, 30th and 31st favor you.

Libra — September 23-October 22: With Saturn and Neptune in your opposite sign of Aries and in your solar 7th house, your spouse will have many things to deal with in the coming month as Venus and the Sun also enter Aries in March. You’ll have to take a back seat to his agenda if you want to keep the peace. It’s just one of those things in the cosmic timing sequence. You aren’t completely on your own as Jupiter goes into direct motion in the solar 10th house of profession and career on the 11th and will give a boost to anything you’ve been working on. Use the stellar vibes on the 4th, 5th and 6th to direct your agenda.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: With Mars moving into fellow water sign Pisces this month, you have some support but it means you accomplish your goals indirectly, not by smashing forward, come hell or high water. This happens in your solar 5th house of creativity, fun, children and your passions so it will have a pleasant way of unfolding. There may be opportunities for travel abroad so look for that mid-month. You will still have to be vigilant with your health but this month could reveal a really positive course of action. Your best days are the 7th and 8th.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With your ruling plane, Jupiter, going into direct motion this month, you could have some unexpected financial gains or a very good offer on buying your house. This is in effect for the entire month and a couple weeks into the month of April, too. Just be sure you are ready to move as this all could come together quickly but you might have regrets if you move too fast. You need to envision where you want to live next and hold towards that vision. Your stellar days are the 9th, 10th and 11th.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: With Saturn now in Aries and in conjunction with Neptune, you need to plant the seeds of your vision into a real plan on how to achieve them. This dynamic duo wants to create a new beginning and wants to follow a plan of action rather than just have a fantasy about it. Start writing things down about what you want and how you are going to get it. Venus pairs up with this duo from the 7 through the 10th so that adds extra positive energy to your planning. The lunar vibes are in your favor on the 12th and 13th.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19:  This month has a financial signature to it as three planets occupy your solar 2nd house of income, assets and values. You might be considering some expensive purchase right now as well. There is some good fortune in taking some relatively short-distance trips, as something you see may spark a creative streak or interest. Jupiter stations in your solar 6th house of health in the middle of the month so you could gain strength and stamina after that gets going. Pluto in your 1st house makes you more intense than usual, and that can be off-putting to many who are more laid back in their natures. Know when to tone it down or people will avoid you. The 14th, 15th and 16th are your best days.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: With an emphasis on your sign with 3 planets transiting it until the 20th, you have a lot of power in your ability to get what you want. Jupiter going direct in fellow water sign, Cancer, also supports you this month. This happens in your solar 5th house of fun, creativity, passions and children so it’s a great month to engage in and enjoy that area of life. This also helps your career and personal well-being as Jupiter expands what it touches. Use the positive vibes on the 17th and new Moon on the 18th to enjoy the fruits of your labors.

March 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post March 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

February begins with a full Moon on the first, the Snow Moon as it is called.

It is also the pagan fire festival of Imbolc, celebrating the middle of the winter season, 7th which is also known as St. Brigid’s day, who is the patroness saint of Ireland.

This full Moon has a bit of a malefic quality, as the part of the sky it occurs in is associated with rather destructive behaviors which I covered yesterday in my email about the full Moon.

It is a great time to attack your own bad habits and make the necessary changes internally to move into a better space to embrace change.  It’s in the fire sign of Leo so make a list of what you want to be rid of and burn it as a ritual on the night of the full Moon.  I do not recommend charging crystals during this particular full Moon, however, as why risk inviting bad juju into your stones?

On February 2nd, we have Groundhog’s day in Pennsylvania, where the hibernating rodent, Punxsutawney Phil or in neighboring Ohio, Buckeye Chuck, comes out to predict either more winter or an early spring.  According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, if he comes out of his borrow and sees his shadow, there will be another six weeks of winter.  If he comes out doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early. So, if it is a sunny day, we get more winter, if it’s a cloudy day, we’ll soon have springtime.  It seems kind of out of sync to my way of thinking, but I’m not a groundhog so there’s that.  We’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.  Celebrate whichever happens with a song in your heart!  I’ve got you Babe, comes to mind.

Getting back to astrology, on February 3rd, Uranus is stationed now and will go direct at 27 degrees 27’ of Taurus and moves only a slight bit through the month, ending at 27 degrees 43’ of Taurus. This is his last pass through Taurus, though he last transited these degrees in May, June and the beginning of July in 2025. Some things from that time period need to be dismantled and cleared up.  Uranus enters Gemini on April 26, where he will transit for approximately the next 7 years. As Taurus is a money and asset sign, the next 3 months could have a lot of financial volatility so be cautious with your money now. Uranus is also associated with earthquakes, sudden accidents or electrical storms or events, accelerating the change.

Mercury moves from 20 degrees of Aquarius into Pisces on February 7th, the first to break out of the stellium in Aquarius. While the little dude is considered weak in Pisces, it will have some strength by association with Venus when she goes into Pisces on the 10th. They are friends and Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces so he’ll be hanging out with the cool chick for most of the month and basking in that glow.  He has a retrograde period beginning on February 26th through March 20th, going back to 8 degrees of Pisces.

Venus moves from 18 degrees of Aquarius to 22 degrees of Pisces through the month.  She enters Pisces, her exaltation sign on February 10th so there could be some improvement in financial markets at that time but be careful as Venus can be overly enthusiastic in this sign and then crash out when she enters Aries in early March.  She emerges in the western sky around the 17th, so look for that lovely spectacle after sunset.

Mars moves from 7 degrees of Aquarius to 28 degrees of Aquarius this month.  He is relatively close to Pluto, being only 4 degrees beyond it but still within the lord of the underworld’s influence, which is associated with some elements of danger, explosions and warlike tendencies.  The sooner he moves past 9 degrees to separate from Pluto, the better for the planet Earth!

Jupiter is still retrograde in the sign of Cancer, moving from 17 degrees 18’ back to 15 degrees 16’ by the end of the month.  He ends his retrograde cycle on March 10th so his influence is growing as we get into March.  People will get more protective of their families, property and rights at this time as Cancer is a care giving sing and Jupiter wants to shield and protect those whom he loves in this sign.

Saturn moves into the sign of Aries on the 14th and will make another exact conjunction with Neptune at 0 degrees 43’ of Aries on February 20th.  This marks the beginning of a new cycle as they only join up every 36-37 years, the last time in 1989.   It is even more rare that it is happening in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac.  The last time they met up at 0 degrees Aries was about 9000 years ago, so, yea, this is a big deal!  Saturn will transit Aries, marking new beginnings, restrictions and lessons, through most of April 2028.

Neptune entered the sign of Aries on January 27th and will move from 0 degree, 9’ to 1 degree 6’ during the month.  It will transit this sign for the next 12 years, through mid-May of 2038. The last time Neptune was here was from 1861-1875, the time of the United States’ Civil War and its aftermath of changes.

Pluto moves ahead in Aquarius from 3 degrees 42’ to 4 degrees 31’.  The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1777-1798. That era was defined by the American revolution and the birth of the United States, the French revolution, the Enlightenment, the Industrial revolution and the dismantling of monarchies and their hold on their colonies.

I almost forgot to mention the new Moon annular solar eclipse on February 17th.  It is the 5th in the 6 month cycle of new Moons at 28 degrees of their respective signs and happens at 28 degrees of Aquarius, the masculine, fixed, air sign. It is only visible as the ring of fire in Antarctica. We shall see what manifests with this annular eclipse, the first of 4 this year.

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19:  This month may be very low key for you, as there is kind of a hermit vibe after the 8th as Venus and Mercury go into your 12th house of seclusion and rest. Jupiter in your 4th also indicates a stay at home vibe so, just stay close to home and enjoy that vibe!  Mars is still in your 11th house of friends, social groups, humanitarian goals, so you will maintain connections for the first 2 weeks and then fade out to join the other planets already in your 12th house. It’s a great time to take up meditation, tai chi, yoga or do some other inner work.  Your best days are the AM hours of the 19th, the 20th and 21st.

Taurus — April 20-May 20: Uranus goes direct in your solar 1st house so that is a dynamic that wants to make a change in your appearance or express a different way to show up in your social world.  Maybe some kind of body work or therapy is on deck for you at this time as there’s always something new to uncover as long as one is alive.  The stellium in Aquarius is in your 10th house of career and public image so you can expect some changes manifesting in either how you do business or who you do business with. Walk towards it as 2026 is a year of new beginnings.  Your stellar days are the 22nd and 23rd.

Gemini — May 21-June 21:  With Mercury breaking loose from the stellium in Aquarius now, you may feel like you need some space around you,  some freedom and some time to think.  Take that time this month as Venus travels close to Mercury, your ruler,  almost all month so it will be pleasant for you. Maybe a long distance trip to a coastal area is in order. Money could fluctuate this month or you could go on a spending spree which you will regret, so check yourself before throwing your cash around.  Be aware.  The best days of the month for you are on the 24th and 25th.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: The full Moon happens in your solar 2nd and 8th houses so this time period is about money, assets and how you finance your lifestyle.  Some re-organization is in order to streamline the  process.  Saturn and Neptune in Aries in your solar 10th house portend a new beginning or a fresh start at something.  You will be up for doing it different even if you end up doing the same job. You want a fresh perspective on the subjects at hand.  Talk it over with someone if you need clarity.  Your best days are the 26th and 27th.

Leo — July 24-August 23: With the full Moon in your solar 1st and 7th houses, there’s an emphasis on the partner, with all those planets in the sign of Aquarius in that house.  Your needs are a bit secondary to the situation at hand so just know that you’ll have to learn to nurture yourself at this time.  The Saturn Neptune conjunction happens right at the end of your solar 8th house of investments, insurances, legacy, taxes and psychology hang ups.  It will feel good when those two planets move into your much more benign 9th house.  Still attend to what you need to with the 8th house stuff so your life can proceed smoothly in the future.  Stellar days for you are the 1st, 2nd and 28th.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: This month has you focused on your work environment,  health matters and personal habits.  Take note of any weird symptoms personally and take note of any weird vibes at work.  Something is brewing there and you need to be aware of what is  coming down.  With Uranus approaching your 10th house cusp soon, there will be changes in your career in the near future, like April or May, either self generated or generated by others. The rest of February could be quite pleasant so maybe take some kind of long weekend trip to give yourself a lift. The best days of the month for you are the 3rd and 4th.

Libra — September 23-October 22:   Your focus is still with your creative projects and your children with all these planets in Aquarius transiting your solar 5th house of creativity and intelligence.  It’s a good house where you can have a lot of joy and sheer fun!  The full Moon happens in your 5th and 11th houses, both of which are really good for making connections and expanding your social and business networks. Enjoy! The Saturn Neptune conjunction in Aries aligns with your horizon so you’ll be balancing self-interest and the interests of your partner for the next two years. Your best days are 5th, 6th and AM hours of the 7th.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22:  The full Moon happens in your solar 10th house of career and profession and the 4th house of home and family, your roots and your real estate.  Some kind of pressure is brewing forcing you to choose where to put your energies this month. Quite frankly, the 4th house has 5 planets in it so it wins this dilemma hands down.  You’ll just have to put career stuff on the back burner for a while. Do what you need to and leave the rest. The lunar vibes favor you on the 8th and 9th.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With the full Moon happening in your solar 9th  house of higher mind, beliefs, education and travel and 3rd house of siblings, neighbors, short distance travel and learning you may have a very busy month of short and long distance travel.  That’s just dandy as Jupiter, your ruling planet, likes new experiences and big new horizons.  Still, you will want to be home a lot as well to chill in your own space. It’s a great time to really appreciate what a comfortable life you have. Jupiter is in your solar 8th so there are financial issues to deal with, possibly pertaining to an insurance settlement, an inheritance or a legal settlement you have in motion.  Sit tight, Jupiter goes direct in March and that will help tie all the loose ends together over the coming 5 months.  Your stellar days are the 10th, 11th and AM hours of the 12th.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20:  With Saturn traveling through the last degrees of Pisces, about to meet up with Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries on the 20th, you are ripe for a new venture.  Do your research so you feel fully prepared to take something on. There’s also a possibility of a move into a new home or acquiring some real estate for a future home as well. When Uranus goes into Gemini at the end of April you will have a lot of your “normal” work environment upended, so start thinking outside the box. Your best days are the 13th and 14th.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19:   All these planets in Aquarius have been an overload on your nervous system.  It starts to calm down by the middle of the month when Mercury and Venus get into Pisces but prepare for something shocking around the new Moon solar eclipse on the 17th as it happens in the sign of Aquarius!  Find some way to dial down all the energy coursing through your system with relaxation techniques and maybe some body work.  Take time off for self care on the 15th, 16th and 17th as you’ll reap good rewards at that time.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: Saturn will be out of your sign on Valentines Day, a big yay on that one!  It meets up with Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries on February 20th to start a new chapter in your life.  Saturn will be in Aries for the next 2 years and transiting your solar 2nd house of money, assets and values so you will have a new mission that has a bit of frugality involved. You are shifting and maybe this solar eclipse in your 12th house of seclusion and karma reveals what is coming up next.  The days of the month that favor you are the PM hours of the 17th, the 18th and the AM hours of the 19th.

February 2026 Monthly Horoscopes

Past Horoscopes

The post February 2026 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne first appeared on Ask the Astrologers.

Welcome to the New Year of 2026, a 1 year in numerology which indicates a new beginning! Astrology supports that cycle as 3 outer planets and Saturn will all be in new fire and air signs.

Change is happening, folks, so get ready for a bit of a whirlwind come March and April when Neptune, Saturn, Venus are in Aries in March and then Mercury and Mars take spin in Aries in April.

Uranus re-enters Gemini at the end of April as another harbinger of a shake up of big proportions. Uranus in Gemini forms a nice air trine relationship with Pluto in Aquarius, accelerating the change.

Fire and Air are the elements most prevalent for 2026 and we all know what air can do to fire, it feeds the flames for change and new beginnings!

Yes, Jupiter is retrograde in the water sign of Cancer, where he is exalted but I see this as a more protective influence in the midst of change. Cancer is about security related to home, family, values, contentment and emotional bonding. Jupiter expands what it touches so you will see many people resisting or being fearful about the changes happening all around them. If you need to slow down to take your time and assimilate what is happening and how it relates to you, definitely do so. Take the steps you need to protect your assets and your loved ones.

Mercury moves from 29 degrees of Sagittarius to 18 degrees of Aquarius throughout the month, the critical time being between the 20th and 24th when he conjoins the Sun and Pluto in early Aquarius. Venus moves from 9 degrees of Capricorn to 17 degrees of Aquarius and her critical time is between the 18th and 22nd when she joins the Sun, Mercury and Pluto make a note of this time period on your calendar as many more secrets will be revealed globally..

Mars, at 13 degrees of Capricorn, moves to 6 degrees of Aquarius. He joins Pluto between the 26th and 29th and their conjunction could foretell some military conflicts and threats going on. In general, the last 10 days of January are full of conflicting energies and unrest among the masses.

Jupiter is still retrograde in the sign of Cancer and moves from 21 degrees to 17 degrees but still brings in hope of relief from conflicts as Cancer wants people to play nice. It will be difficult to maintain just resolutions to conflicts this month but that will improve when Jupiter goes direct after March 10th.

Saturn is in direct motion and moves from 26 Pisces to 28 degrees of Pisces, very close to Neptune, who moves from 2degrees, 30′ Pisces to 0 degrees, 7′ of Aries by month’s end. Uranus is retrograde and moves from 27 degrees, 56′ to 28 degrees back to 27 degrees 27′ of Gemini. He is very powerful this month as he stations on February 4 before going direct at 27 degrees, 6′. This radical dude will continue to shake things up for the next 4 months before he enters Gemini in late April and really the entire year of 2026.

Pluto continues his slow-moving trek in Aquarius, moving forward from 2 degrees 43′ to 3 degrees 40′, close to where he retrograded at 3 degrees 49′ in early May 2025. Transformation is afoot, folks, so go with it!

 READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:

Aries — March 21-April 19: This year begins with your ruling planet, Mars, in Capricorn, where he is exalted but combust the Sun, meaning Mars is within 5 degrees of the Sun’s position and therefore burned by the Sun’s hot rays. So, you and your actions are hidden or thwarted in some way by this temporary condition. Unfortunately, it does last for the next 3 weeks. It ends on January 26 and you get a blast of energy on January 27 when Mars pairs up with Pluto at 3 degrees of Aquarius. You have to manage your frustration here so you don’t completely blow up in anger at what you feel is the stupidity of the delay. Martial arts, strength training or completing projects around your home will help you manage your frustrations this month. The new year essentially doesn’t begin for you until February, when you gain control of your own energies again. Best days of the month for you are the 23rd, 24th and AM hours of the 25th.

Taurus — April 20-May 20: Your ruling planet, Venus, is combust the Sun’s position through January 23, after which she moves beyond 5 degrees from the Sun’s position and gains independence from its hot rays. Before that happens, she makes contact with Pluto at 3 degrees of Aquarius on January 19th and that can signal a dramatic ending of some sort with relationships, finances, assets or just your internal harmony. There will be tension so just be aware that you may be frustrated by your progress at anything at this time. Uranus is still retrograde in your sign and that also slows things down or makes things uncertain in your personal life as well. The action picks up in early February, so chop wood and carry water in the meantime. The PM hours of the 25th, the 26th and AM hours of the 27th are your days of good fortune.

Gemini — May 21-June 21: Mercury, your ruling planet, moved into the sign of Capricorn on the first and will get into combustion with the Sun from January 13th through the 29th and that, my dear, stalls your action for about two weeks. However, the little dude has some interesting pairings along the way. First, he hits the same degree as Mars and the new Moon on the 18th, which can bring a verbal tirade of great magnitude, so watch out for that. Next, he will make a cazimi (within 15’) conjunction with the Sun’s degree on the 21st, which can reveal many secrets and/or settle disputes if deftly managed. On the 22nd, he makes a conjunction with Pluto, which can reveal some dark information and/or behind-the-scenes machinations. It will be a time of many revelations for sure. He finally moves away from the burning rays of the Sun and into the grace of Venus on January 29th. This is the cosmos coming to the rescue for certain. So, your actions need to be measured from the 13th through the 29th as other forces are at work. Watch your finances and investments this month and work on your body and your home to get the most out of these unusual energies. Your stellar days are the PM hours of the 27th, the 28th and the AM hours of the 29th.

Cancer — June 22-July 23: The full Moon on January 3rd is at 13 degrees of Cancer, opposing the Sun, Venus and Mars at the same time. Those are passionate planetary energies so you might be feeling very strongly about what is going on in the world and in your personal life right for the next two days. You find your balance after the 5th and feel less threatened by circumstances then. The 4 planets, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are in Capricorn and in your solar 7th house of partnership so you may consider making changes in your business or your personal partnerships. This month is a tense time so I recommend you delay decisions until mid-February when you’ll have a better sense of what your options are. Your best days are the 2nd, 3rd, the PM hours of the 29th, the 30th and 31st.

Leo — July 24-August 23: With the full Moon at 13 degrees of Cancer on January 3rd, you begin the year in a completion cycle. Your health features prominently at the beginning of the month with some New Years resolutions you want to commit to for improvement in your physical stamina and strength. The energy shifts quite a bit towards the end of the month as 4 planets and the Sun are in the early degrees of Aquarius and oppose your solar 1st house so this won’t seem so easy at that time. You will also have things to do regarding business partnerships or your primary personal relationship. There’s a lot of emphasis on navigating changes or the current structure of partnership at this juncture. More direction comes in early February as Uranus goes direct in Taurus and Neptune enters Aries. Your stellar days are the 4th and 5th.

Virgo —  August 24-September 22: With your ruling planet, Mercury, in several challenging relationships (see Gemini for more information), you feel unsettled regarding your current work environment. Something is changing that you have no control over. It gets more dynamic by the month’s end but the new Moon on the 18th will give you some major clues about your place in the organization. Uranus goes direct in early February and moves to your solar 10th house at the end of April and that could signal the time for a change. Your most favorable days are the 6th, 7th and 8th.

Libra — September 23-October 22: With Venus, your ruling planet, in its current state of combustion with the Sun, there’s a stalemate in some situation regarding finances, relationships or money (see Taurus for more information). It could also be that your partner is frustrated or testy right now and you are the one trying to harmonize everyone’s feelings to keep the peace. Don’t wear yourself out as sometimes people just can’t be appeased and they have to wear themselves out! Aries rules your 7th house of partnership which is ruled by Mars, and Mars is also combust the Sun as well (read Aries for more information). Stay focused on your home and family needs to stay sane as this cycle lasts almost the entire month of January! On a positive note, transiting Jupiter is retrograde in the sign of Cancer in your solar 10th house of career, so you may find progress and pleasure in pursuing your professional projects. Your stellar days this month are the 9th and 10th.

Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Since you are Mars-ruled, as is the sign of Aries, Mars is currently in a state of combustion with the Sun (read Aries for more information). This affects your house of health as well as your physical body so you need to make some positive changes regarding those areas of life. Start slowly this time so you can build up to a good rate of return and not bail out by overworking and end up with some injury caused by your impatience. The planets causing this trouble are transiting your solar 3rd house of communication, so watch your words all month so you don’t offend others. Your best days are the 11th, 12th and daylight hours of the 13th.

Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With Jupiter, your ruling planet, retrograde in the sign of Cancer, things are relatively calm around you. If you are feeling more content to stay home or around family, the exaltation placement of Jupiter in Cancer is why that is. Normally, Sag is happier being on the go or planning a trip but not at present. There are 4 planets in the sign of Capricorn in your solar 2nd house of assets, money and earnings but with the current state of combustion you might be in a holding pattern around cash flow. Things get better by the middle of March when Jupiter goes into direct motion in your 8th house of legacies, insurance, inheritance and investment income. In any event, stay positive as things will work out. Your most favorable days are the 14th and 15th.

Capricorn — December 21-January 20: With your ruling planet, Saturn, finishing up the last 3 degrees of Pisces in the next 6 weeks, there is something you need to complete before you begin the coming 2.5 years of Saturn in the sign of Aries. You need to make a fresh start at something, and that probably has to do with your business. However, Mars and Venus are currently combust the Sun with Mercury soon to follow. (read Aries, Taurus and Gemini for more information). It’s not a time of progress as there are missing pieces in your life’s puzzle and I would guess it has to do with money or financing the matter at hand. Be patient and don’t over extend yourself as more information needs to come in. Look to the end of February for solutions but the opening really comes in mid-March when Jupiter goes direct. Good days for you to make new contacts are the 16th, 17th and new Moon on the 18th.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19: With your ruling planet, Saturn, finishing up the last 3 degrees of Pisces in the next 6 weeks, there is something you need to complete in order to begin the coming 2.5 years of Saturn in the sign of Aries with a fresh attitude. In addition, the Sun and 3 planets in the sign of Capricorn are in your solar 12th house of seclusion, surrender and your connection to your larger cosmic self. The cycle lasts almost all month so take some time off to let go of your normal quest for achievement and make time for your inner self to direct the relative inaction for this month. Things pick up a lot in February as the 3 planets and the Sun make their way into your sign with a first contact with Pluto, the lord of the underworld but the vehicle for transformation. Your best days are the evening of the new Moon on the 18th, the 19th and the 20th.

Pisces — February 20-March 20: Both Saturn and Neptune are ending their sojourns in your sign very soon, Neptune at the end of January and Saturn in the middle of February. This is a culmination of energy without a clear signal as to what to start in the new cycle of Aries. Be patient and wait for clarity, which may not come until the middle of March when Jupiter goes into direct motion. This is a chop wood, carry water time of life when you do what needs to be done to keep life humming along. Jupiter is in the nurturing sign of Cancer in your solar 5th house of creativity and children so you could really enjoy the next 2 months doing things of that nature. Your stellar days are the 21st and 22nd.
