“ASTROLOGY IS LIKE GRAVITY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT FOR IT TO BE WORKING IN YOUR LIFE.” – ZOLAR The year 2026 will be a unique year, from the standpoint that it’s not a whole lot different than 2025. The reason for that is Saturn, Uranus and Neptune already gave us an introduction to their longer running cycles in 2025. In 2026, Neptune calls Aries home in January, Saturn settles into Aries in February and Uranus bursts into Gemini in April. These three major cycles first began in 2025, however they all retrograded back into their former signs of Pisces and Taurus, respectively. Therefore, 2025 was a year of transition, a sneak peek into the new while retreating back to the former. In 2026, it’s full steam ahead into…

Overview The enduring seven-year cycle of Uranus in Taurus winds up for good on 26 April, prompting you to make last-minute changes that will lead you toward living a more authentic life on your terms in the early quarter of the year. With Uranus no longer influencing your sign after April, you may realise just how much you’ve changed and, as a result, make new choices that better reflect your personal growth. Shortly after Uranus’s exit, Mars will arrive in Taurus for the first time in two years from 19 May to 29 June. Mars may inspire you to put your own priorities front and centre. Carve out the time you need to work on your personal goals and generally figure out what you want. Whether it is a physical…

Overview In the second half of 2026, from 30 June, and well into 2027 you’ll be able to live a larger life and embrace possibilities you can only imagine due to Jupiter’s influence in Leo. This year may feel like a springboard into the life you’ve been dreaming of for over a decade. Rewards and recognition for your efforts and hard work are possible at this time. While Jupiter spends a year in your sign, you’ll want to live the good life. Adventure and luxury will be available to you. Selfdevelopment will be a hot topic, too. You will spend much of your time, energy and effort growing and expanding in the ways that benefit you. Another rare cycle arrives on 27 July, the South Node, lasting for eighteen months.…

Overview Known as the crown of the chart, Jupiter will bring blessings and benefits, not just professionally but also to your reputation and overall life direction. This golden cycle lasts a year and comes around just once in every twelve years. This cycle is about saying yes to all that life offers you. Whether it’s a promotion at work, receiving rewards, accolades or appreciation for your efforts professionally or within your personal life, Jupiter will provide opportunities to get the most out of what life has to offer. Shortly after Jupiter’s arrival, the karmic South Node will arrive in Leo for an eighteenmonth stay from 27 July. While Jupiter is about expansion and growth, the South Node is reductive and constricting. While this may seem like a bust, it can…

Overview For Aquarians, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of personal growth and introspection. That said, you’ll undergo a process of realigning your career and overall life direction as two retrograde cycles activate Scorpio and your 10th House. Venus visits first, encouraging you to put your best foot forward between 10 September and 3 October. If you want to make a good impression with your boss, clients or your industry in general, be sure to be seen in your best light. Updating your work wardrobe and tweaking your online profile may improve your chances of being seen by those who count. Venus is also social, so it may pay off to attend work related events, network and be remembered by those who can make the right connections for…

Fully awake, serpent hands over its light. At the Yin Yang point of powerful illumination, Horse, the Solar Pacemaker, takes the reigns initiating warp speed ahead. Star Trek sets the scene while Vangelis’s score for Chariots of Fire echoes the soundtrack — the great unknown beckons. The crux of 2026 is Horse’s heavenly companion Bing, duplicating fire’s power. Add in an Age 9 fire cycle, then an astrological fire trine on 17 February that coincides with Lunar New Year, all under a ring of fire solar eclipse. Racking up five fire signatures is quite the omen! Horse normally brings some zesty pizzazz to town, but this year carries a caveat: when it’s good it’s very, very good and when it’s bad, it’s horrid. The eclipse underscores this. To paraphrase Carl…

All of us harbour hopes of future potential. It’s how we get through the hardships of life. Believing in possibilities that go beyond the constraints of present circumstances can shepherd us through difficult times, supplying a point of focus for goals we can work toward daily. Joan Didion once wrote, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live”, but we sometimes traverse periods of time in which we begin to doubt the premise of all the stories that we’ve told ourselves. The Saturn and Neptune cycle reveals how our collective stories about reality change across time. And, when they form conjunctions like they will in 2026, it can feel like an old way of life is dying to make way for a new era of fundamental change. When Saturn and…

Between January 2025 and August 2026, the nodes of the Moon are traveling through the signs of Virgo and Pisces. Currently, the North Node of the Moon is in Pisces and the South Node of the Moon is in Virgo. The last time eclipses occurred in these signs was between October 2015 and April 2017. However, during that period, the North Node was in Virgo, while the South Node was in Pisces. Most people who study astrology long enough know that these “flipped nodal returns” occur every nine years, followed by a full return every eighteen years. However, many astrologers have no idea what the differences are between the nodal returns and flipped nodal returns. Understanding the differences between the two types of eclipses boils down to an understanding of…

Approaching a birth chart without an accurate birth time can be a stumbling block for both clients and astrologers alike. For the client, they might be wondering what astrology can offer without a known birth time beyond star sign personality descriptors or the most basic delineations. Astrology has undergone a significant renaissance in recent years. Long gone are the days where I could drop a casual, “So, do you know what time of the day you were born?” into a conversation and no one would be the wiser. Nowadays, when the topic of astrology comes up, some people are quick to whip out their phones, open up their astrology app of choice and pass me their phone, eagerly awaiting my interpretations. While others either honestly don’t know their birth time…

Ascendant The eastern horizon at the moment of birth. Located at the 9 o’clock position when looking at a birth chart. Also known as your rising sign, the ascendant depicts the 1st House of the physical body and outlines the way you interface with the world.

Overview Geminis got a sneak peak of the seven-year cycle of Uranus in Gemini in 2025, however it’s this year that you’ll fully begin to embrace Uranus’s themes of freedom and authenticity. This year will demand that you experiment with what piques your interest. Uranus flies the flag of anything that is new, different or unique. So, if you find yourself falling into former habits, patterns or anything familiar, that is your cue to try something else or go in a different direction. The tour of Uranus in Gemini will spark a ricochet effect across a multitude of areas in your life including your friendship groups, travel or study plans as well as your big picture life philosophy and spiritual path. These will be felt most acutely when Uranus works…

Overview The restless influence of Uranus first appeared in Virgo in 2025, giving you a preview of the changes you can expect to come into full force from 26 April this year. You may recognise you want more out of life than doing the same old predictable things. On a professional level, you might want more freedom and autonomy in the work you do. This could include moving from employment to self-employment or entrepreneurship. Being less location dependant and having more flexibility will give you the variety you want. Choosing to step away from roles where you are micromanaged to where you can really spread your wings is possible. On a personal level, Uranus will inspire you to make some choices that would otherwise seem out of character for you.…

Overview For the respective periods of seven and fourteen years, Uranus and Neptune call your relationship and happiness sectors home, setting an exciting pace for 2026. Broader perspectives are likely as your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves into Leo on 30 June. Thus, the second half of the year, you’ll likely be back to your usual self, wanting to explore new experiences and live a larger life. In addition, you’ll have action-oriented Mars move through the western side of your solar horoscope. These combined factors highlight fast paced developments and lots of changes this year. You may discover that as your dreams start to materialise, instead of avoiding responsibility and calling that freedom, you’ll actually want to commit to manifesting your desires. This year holds the promise that as your life…

Overview The year-long cycle of Jupiter in Leo happens just once every twelve years and will expand topics including hard work, health and wellbeing. There will be no shortage of opportunities to go the extra mile to get ahead in your career or take on extra tasks that provide you with the experience or income you need. Jupiter in Leo is a larger-than-life energy, and the challenge you’ll face in the second half of the year is to accept the opportunities that align with your life purpose. It’s one thing to do what you have to in order to reach your big picture goals, it’s another to say yes to opportunities that keep you stuck in a perpetual cycle of not making the life or career progress you want. To…

HOW TO USE THE MOON CALENDAR On days when the Moon changes signs, the sign will be noted on that date in the calendar. The time next to it is the local time in Sydney when the Moon enters that sign.

Overview Two longer running cycles that Aries were introduced to in 2025 will settle in your sign for good this year. Neptune will return to Aries on 27 January where it will remain until March 2039. This rare and influential cycle will, at times, make life feel insubstantial. Your soul may yearn for something that you can’t quite explain. Creativity, spirituality, mysticism and escapism are all hallmarks of Neptune’s influence and your passion and enthusiasm for these kinds of topics may pique. As this cycle lasts for so long, its influence will wax and wane. This year may feel overwhelming at times. As Neptune settles in, its impact may be most acutely felt. With that in mind, it will be important to be gentle on yourself until you get used…

Overview While you did get a preview of these big cycles in 2025, 27 January and 14 February are when Neptune and Saturn, respectively, arrive in Aries. Neptune in Aries will last until 2039. So, as this long-range cycle takes hold, you may start to yearn for more meaning and purpose in your life. At first, you may feel disillusioned with your current direction as you start asking questions about what else might be out there for you. Longing for a career or life path you feel connected to may beckon. You might wonder about creative possibilities, spiritual professions and anything generally outside of the mainstream. Neptune is known for evoking compassion, which may spur you to do something bigger with your life especially if that involves helping others. In…

Overview It is the Western side of your solar chart that is the most active in 2026. Librans will find that relationships, personal, professional or both, are what really drive you this year. The combination of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, plus eclipses influence your most social sectors, suggesting other people will be a key influence in your growth and success. That said, your patron planet, Venus, will undergo a retrograde or reverse cycle this year. A portion of this cycle will be in Libra, giving you the chance to ask yourself some poignant personal questions. The period between 25 October and 14 November, while Venus moves in reverse through your sign, may see you withdraw from your regular social activity, giving you time to reassess and reflect. This may…

Overview With Saturn in Aries, Capricorns’ focus in 2026 will be about solidifying a firm foundation by being quick to take on responsibilities either at work or in your personal life. For some of those born under the sign of the goat, if you’ve already been pushed to the limit, Saturn in Aries may demand you learn ways to slow down before you burnout. On the one hand, you’ll be eager to do what it takes to achieve your goals or step up into the next challenge. On the other, you may opt to step away from certain obligations and consolidate your energy. Venus, your career and overall life direction planet, will visit Libra and your 10th House twice in 2026. The first visit, from 7 August to 10 September,…

For many years, astrologers have observed the almost simultaneous ingresses of the three outer planets. In November 2024, Pluto called Aquarius its home for the next 20 years. Neptune in Aries becomes a mainstay from 21 January for 14 years, and Uranus in Gemini arrives for seven years on 26 April. Such quick succession of outer planetary movement has never happened before. While we got preview periods of these transits in 2025, with the exception of Pluto, who first entered Aquarius in 2023, none of us really know what we are in for. None of us have lived through these cycles. As we collectively try and figure out these dramatically different planetary patterns, Mercury’s retrogrades through the element of water invite us to feel, to intuit and to imagine our…

Solon and the Parable of Fortune A wise traveller once graced the golden halls of a wealthy King. Having showcased his great riches, the King proudly asked his sage guest, “In your many journeys, have you ever seen a more fortunate man?” To the King’s surprise, the traveller said yes. He spoke of a common man, who raised good children, lived a long life and died with great honour. Puzzled and dismayed, the King pressed further: “Who is the second most fortunate?” The traveller told him of other common people who lived humble lives and died with dignity. “I see you are very rich, and the King of many men. But I cannot call you fortunate before you have ended your life well.” What truly makes a life fortunate? In…
