The highlights of 2026

The events that set the year: eclipses, sign changes among the slow planets, and the stations of Mercury, Venus and Mars. Everything else is detail inside that frame.

The Sun through the zodiac in 2026

The dates the zodiac signs begin in 2026 – the moment the Sun crosses a sign boundary. The boundaries shift by about a day from year to year, so being born on the cusp is not folklore but arithmetic: check yourself against the table.

Starts Sun sign How long Chart of the Sky
Aquarius The month of the collective: friends, communities, technology and plans ahead 30 days to
Pisces The month of letting go: summing up, rest, intuition and closing the cycle 30 days to
Aries the spring equinox Day and night are equal; astronomical spring begins. The starting month: easier to begin, harder to wait 30 days to
Taurus The steady month: the body, money, taste and things you can hold 31 days to
Gemini The information month: conversations, short trips, study, many small threads 31 days to
Cancer the summer solstice The longest day of the year and the start of astronomical summer. The month of home and your own people: care, family, roots, inner footing 31 days to
Leo now The month of being seen: creative work, children, celebration and attention 31 days to
Virgo The month of order: health, routine, work and clearing the backlog 31 days to
Libra the fall equinox Day equals night again; astronomical fall begins. The month of relationships: agreements, partnership, beauty and balance 30 days to
Scorpio The month of depth: honesty, crises, other people's resources, reworking the old 30 days to
Sagittarius The month of horizon: travel, meaning, learning, believing in something large 30 days to
Capricorn the winter solstice The longest night, and the turn back toward longer days. The month of results: status, discipline and long projects 29 days to

Sign changes by sign in 2026

A sign change changes the manner, not the theme. Mars is still Mars, but in Aries it acts head-on and in Pisces it takes the roundabout route. 41 sign changes across 10 planets this year.

Planet:
When What happens Stays for Chart of the Sky
Mercury in Capricorn 0°00′ Capricorn Conversations get more businesslike and plans stricter: easier to build a system, set deadlines and sort the useful from the empty. 19 days to All periods
Venus in Aquarius 0°00′ Aquarius The freedom to be yourself is what counts: friendship, a shared idea and respect for differences become the basis of attraction. 24 days to All periods
Mercury in Aquarius 0°00′ Aquarius Ideas get ahead of the usual rules: an unconventional solution can turn out to be the right one, if you can explain it clearly. 17 days to All periods
Mars in Aquarius 0°00′ Aquarius Action turns unconventional: you want to break the pattern and work in bursts, so even this freedom needs at least a simple plan. 38 days to All periods
Neptune in Aries 0°00′ Aries now The dream wants action right now: inspiration runs strong, but do not mistake a beautiful impulse for an actual plan. 4498 days to All periods
Mercury in Pisces 0°00′ Pisces Logic gives way to images and intuition: inspiration runs strong, but dates, numbers and agreements are safer written down. 67 days to All periods
Venus in Pisces 0°00′ Pisces Romance turns subtle, almost wordless: idealizing comes easily, so it is worth separating the beauty of a feeling from a convenient illusion. 24 days to All periods
Saturn in Aries 0°00′ Aries now The lesson – act on your own, but not blindly: maturity starts where impulse can stand behind its own consequences. 789 days to All periods
Mars in Pisces 0°00′ Pisces Force moves not in a straight line but by feel: creative work and helping others go better than hard pressure and competition. 38 days to All periods
Venus in Aries 0°00′ Aries In matters of attraction, the spark and an instant response matter most: you want to choose with your heart, fast and without ceremony. 24 days to All periods
Venus in Taurus 0°00′ Taurus Love and money both look for reliability: what counts is what feels good, lasts and never asks you to rush. 25 days to All periods
Mars in Aries 0°00′ Aries Force acts head-on: easier to start, take the risk and push through than to prepare for long – just do not mistake speed for being right. 39 days to All periods
Mercury in Aries 0°00′ Aries Thoughts outrun the words: fast decisions come easily, but important replies are worth a second read before you send them. 18 days to All periods
Venus in Gemini 0°00′ Gemini You are drawn to wit, lightness and good conversation: curiosity brings things to life, but promises still need solid ground. 25 days to All periods
Uranus in Gemini 0°00′ Gemini now Thinking speeds up: new technology, language and connections redraw the usual picture, and information feels almost electric. 2292 days to All periods
Mercury in Taurus 0°00′ Taurus The mind works thoroughly and hates being rushed: one solid conclusion beats five brilliant guesses. 14 days to All periods
Mercury in Gemini 0°00′ Gemini Information piles up and connections click instantly: good for talks and learning, as long as you do not chase everything at once. 15 days to All periods
Mars in Taurus 0°00′ Taurus Energy builds up slowly but lasts a long time: better to work for endurance and not burn it on someone else's hurry. 41 days to All periods
Venus in Cancer 0°00′ Cancer Tenderness shows up as care: what matters most is warmth at home, loyalty to memory and the sense that you are "one of us". 25 days to All periods
Mercury in Cancer 0°00′ Cancer now Conversation turns personal: memory has more to say than logic, and the other person's tone matters as much as their words. 69 days to All periods
Venus in Leo 0°00′ Leo You want to express feelings beautifully and generously: romance blooms on admiration, attention and bold gestures. 26 days to All periods
Chiron in Taurus 0°00′ Taurus now Here the theme runs slowly, thoroughly, one solid step at a time — in Taurus. 90 days to
Mars in Gemini 0°00′ Gemini now Action moves through words, maneuvering and several tasks at once: quick wits help, but spreading thin wears you out fast. 44 days to All periods
Jupiter in Leo 0°00′ Leo now Confidence grows: easier to lead, create and put your talent on display, as long as you keep a sense of proportion. 391 days to All periods
Venus in Virgo 0°00′ Virgo Love speaks the language of usefulness: helping out, noticing the small stuff, making life easier – all more convincing than a big declaration. 28 days to All periods

Venus in Libra 0°00′ Libra now Relationships lean toward harmony: easier to negotiate, choose what is beautiful and remember that give-and-take beats a perfect picture. 35 days to All periods
Mercury in Leo 0°00′ Leo Speech sounds bright and confident: easier to win people over with an idea if you leave them room to answer, not just listen. 16 days to All periods

Mercury in Virgo 0°00′ Virgo The mind catches every inconsistency and knows how to fix it: a good time for calculations, editing and precise instructions. 16 days to All periods
Venus in Scorpio 0°00′ Scorpio Attraction turns strong and uncompromising: closeness demands trust, and jealousy points straight at where honesty is missing. 45 days to All periods

Retrograde Planets in 2026

A retrograde is an optical effect: from Earth a planet appears to move backward across the sky. The practical meaning turns with it: the planet's theme works inward and backward, not direct. Turning retrograde in 2026: Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron.

What the shadow period is and why it matters

Before it turns, a planet covers a stretch of zodiac going forward. Then it comes back over it. Then it crosses a third time, forward again. Those three passes are the full cycle: whatever surfaces during the retrograde has usually already been flagged on the first pass, and closes for good on the third.

So \"Mercury retrograde from February 26\" means in practice that the oddities with deadlines and communication start earlier – from the moment Mercury first reached the degree of the coming station – and end later than the official date it turns direct.

The shadow boundaries are computed from the daily positions and refined to the minute; the stations themselves are exact to the second.

Eclipses in 2026

An eclipse is a new or full moon that lands close to the lunar nodes. It works like an ordinary lunation, only stronger and longer: the effect runs for months rather than a day. Where you can, don't rush anything final – the picture is still moving.

New and Full Moons 2026

The lunar month is the shortest working cycle in astrology: you plan from the new moon, and you see the result by the full moon. 2026 has 25 new and full moons in all.

The first and last quarters are not in this table; you can see them in the monthly calendar, together with the exact times of every phase. A page of their own, with nothing else on it – new and full moons 2026. The folk names for full moons come from farming tradition, not astrology, but people look them up often enough that they are here.

Major aspects 2026

An aspect is an exact angle between planets. Here you get only the angles between the outer planets, from Jupiter outward: those build over weeks and months, so they describe a whole year rather than a single day. The fast aspects of the Moon, Mercury and Venus are in the monthly calendar.

Frequently asked questions about 2026

When is Mercury retrograde in 2026?

In 2026 Mercury is retrograde 3 times: February 26 – March 20; June 29 – July 23; October 24 – November 13. Eastern Time.

How many eclipses are there in 2026, and when?

2026 has 4 eclipses: February 17 – solar eclipse in Aquarius, March 3 – lunar eclipse in Virgo, August 12 – solar eclipse in Leo, August 28 – lunar eclipse in Pisces.

Why are your zodiac sign dates a day off from other sites?

The Sun crosses a sign boundary at a specific minute, and that minute is different every year. If a site publishes in Universal Time and you are reading Eastern Time, the date can shift by a day. We show Eastern Time and give you a switch in the header: you can see the same event in UT or in your own zone.

What is the little chart next to each row?

It is the chart of the sky at the exact moment of the event: where the Sun, Moon and planets stood that minute and what angles they made. Normally you would have to build that by hand in dedicated software – here it opens in one click from any row of the table.

How does the yearly calendar differ from the monthly one?

The yearly one answers what is coming at all: eclipses, retrogrades, planets changing signs. The monthly one answers what is happening today: the Moon's aspects, void-of-course windows, the daily ephemeris and every day in detail.

How accurate are the dates?

Every date is computed from the NASA JPL ephemerides JPL DE440 and verified to the second.
