January 18th/The week ahead:Capricorn. We start the week with a New Moon in Capricorn, happening just as most of the planets are also transiting the sign. The week ahead can deal with big declarations or strong actions in the world. A strong Uranus alignment can show surprising twists, as well as fires and tech outages. On a personal level, we feel very focused now. This week is a great time to concentrate on something we want to achieve.
A new year, a new beginning, a new world, a new monthly prediction.
2026 starts on an interesting note as, in the next few months, we will have clusters of planets all in the same signs. We start the year with The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Sagittarius. Mid to late January will have all of these planets joining Pluto in Capricorn. In February, we will have the cluster in Aquarius, joining Rahu.
This is not the most rare alignment in the world, yet it is interesting and notable. Last I can remember something similar happened was around early 2020, also 2013 — which I had to check with the computer.
But going back to the point, this is an interesting alingment as it shows a concentrated energy in a certain sign of the zodiac. Imbibing us with that sign’s energy.
With Sagittarius, from Jan 1st up until Jan 14th, we will feel more energetic and directed. Sagittarius is all about hitting the target, so everything now deals with goals, decisions and putting force into a direction. Plans of travel and study can figure strongly now. Honestly, this is a great start for the year, in terms of will-power and being productive.
Mundane, this Sagittarius force can deal with increased conflict, strong declarations and maybe even attacks happening. Being a time of force, we will see forceful actions from leaders and those in power.
Moving on, from Jan 17th up until Feb 5th we will have a Capricorn cluster. Capricorn is all about work, career and taking care of responsibilities. Kinda boring, in a way. Still, a great moment to organize and deal with your career.
Mundane, Capricorn deals a lot with bureaucrats and institutions. So we can see meetings, conferences and resolutions issued by big institutions. Maybe the UN or similar. Corporate decisions and announcements can also figure strongly.
These clusters, in a way, will set the mood of the month in these two phases. First a directed, strong and bold Sagittarius phase. A time where things will be strongly pushed and advanced, declarations and moves will be made, etc. The second phase will be a Capricorn moment, more business oriented, calmer to some degree.
Between these phases, we will have other events. Like The Full Moon (Jan 3rd) in Ardra, which itself is a chaotic and explosive star. Representing storms, destructions and extremes. But the Full Moon will happen opposing a Mars-Venus conjunction, and trining Rahu.
This will deal with strong desires being revealed, as well as passionate speeches in the world. It is a strong time for ideology and dogma, rather than logic. Again, favoring my earlier point that we can see strong declarations and forceful actions.
January 9th will have a Sun-Mars conjunction, which is a fiery combination by itself, but in Sagittarius it becomes even stronger. So around that date we can have violent events, as well as fires or electrical accidents.
On the 15th, Mars will enter Capricorn, where it will transit until February 23rd. This is the exaltation sign of Mars, where it acts in the most productive manner. So the months ahead are a great moment to work and advance our projects.
The New Moon on the 18th happens on Uttara Ashada, a nakshatra related to great victories, as well as great declarations. It will happen with Mars, Mercury, Sun, Moon, Venus and Pluto all in Uttara Ashada. This is a strong New Moon, it again signals the idea of big declarations being made in the month ahead.
The days after the New Moon are, in a way, more of the same trends I explained above. With the notable mentions of the 20th, where Mars will trine Uranus, and this could deal with surprising twists and events; as well as electrical accidents, fires and tech outages.
The days around the 23rd-27th are also of note, as the Sun and Mars will be conjunct Pluto. This can deal with power struggles, strong events, as well as turbulences in the world. Again, highlighting the themes mentioned above of great declarations or shifts happening.
Summary
Mundane
2026 has a strong start, judging by January. A lot of the astrological influences show a time of big declarations, big decisions and great power moves in the world. We can see conflict with those in power, as well as violent events. It can also be a time of fires, electrical accidents or tech outages.
It can be a turbulent month, as well as a time of great change. It should be noted that things will keep speeding, maybe even more, in the next few months. February will have a Solar Eclipse, starting the first round of Eclipses in 2026. As Eclipses are the big catalysts of change, February and March are specially noted as moments of change in 2026. In a way, January is our appetizer.
The whole month can deal with strong events and intense situations. But the first half figures strongly with big pushes and direct conflict, with the Sagittarius energy. The second half, in Capricorn, deals more with declarations and bureaucratic movements being made.
Notable dates in January:
3rd
9th
15th
18th
20th
23rd-27th
Personal
On a personal level, I truly believe that January can be an excellent month to many of us.
All of the influences mentioned above, that show turbulences in the world, have the effect of giving us energy on a personal level. 2026 starts the year energizing us, like a strong cup of coffee. It can be a great time to power through projects, cut through the noise/excuses and start building things in our lives.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions, but this year is a great one for making them. We start the year with such a rush, such a great energy, to make things; that it would be foolish not to make the best of it.
Goals, decisions and enthusiasm are greatly favored in this first half of January — also the leftover December of when I publish this text — making it an excellent time to get started. The later part of January, with the Capricorn influence, will be great for organizing and planning; which can be a needed pit stop to make our goals and plans last.
Overall, 2026 starts on a great note for those wanting to make personal change, start something and advance their lives.
Editorial
Yikes, I can’t believe it’s 2026! Time passages have always intrigued me, ever since I was a child, and this one is no different. I can’t believe that I started this website in 2022, and that I’m about 4 years into this. It no longer feels “just like yesterday”, and I strongly feel that I matured in the way I deal with astrology and my writings here. But it is still a very notable passage of time to experience.
2025, at least for me, went as fast as an F1 car in a tight race. I sadly didn’t publish as much as I wanted to, as life and other projects got in the way, but I was still able to publish what I consider essential. Which is mundane/predictive astrology, like this text.
This type of content/predictions was what first got me interested in astrology, and what made me fall in love with it. And I’m very glad that I could give and share my point of view here last year. And boy was 2025 a busy year in predictive astrology!
and probably more stuff that I forgot, and can’t be bothered to check.
For those unfamiliar, this is an unusual year. Saturn and Uranus aren’t changing signs every year, and a lot of these aspects are rare occurrences. Hopefully, I managed to warn and help some of you with my predictions throughout 2025.
Still, my natal and nakshatra texts took a toll in 2025. I published only two stars this year, Chitra and Jyeshtha. Hopefully, in 2026, I will finish all 27 stars. I make no promise of that, though, as I feel that I saved the best for last in a way.
Some of the nakshatras I’m missing have always intrigued/annoyed me. Whichever book, or author, I consult I get the same platitudes. The same clichés. And the same lack of depth. Also the feeling that authors are walking on eggshells, trying to say the least possible, because they are unsure. Something I can’t really relate to.
If you are unsure, just say you are unsure. That’s what I do. Ba-da-bing. Ba-da-bong. The world will not end because you admitted that you have doubts. Questions become answers, and this is how knowledge advances. Skirting around, and pretending you know what you don’t know, gets no answers to anyone or anything.
Rohini has been the most notable case of this. Always the same loose ideas, not much depth into it, and I like depth. I want depth! So I went to search for it, and I can gladly say that I found it. Same for some of the other missing nakshatras in my “honey do” list.
Even where I didn’t find depth, I can gladly say that I found clarity, and I will write clarity. If I don’t know, I will tell you that I don’t know. If something is weird, I will tell you the weirdness. And so on and so forth. I will not beat around the bush, because he is not even president anymore, last I checked.
Anyways, in 2026 I will publish more on natal placements and the nakshatras, so do check back for that.
…
On a final editorial note, I truly believe that 2026 is a great year for making changes and advancements, specially these early months. I know it is cliché to say that the new year, and January, are the best moment for change. But I hate clichés, and I’m not justing saying this, I truly believe it.
I even bothered to check my Jan 2025 predictions, where I basically said the complete opposite:
On a personal level, January is not a great moment for personal change, there is a lot of volatility in the air and Mars retrograde doesn’t favor pushing ahead. In my view, New Year’s resolutions will have a hard time going forward this year.
january 2025 predictions
So again, I’m not just saying this to be a cheerleader or life coach selling junk on Instagram. I believe it and I see it.
The Sagittarius energy that ends 2025, and starts 2026, has us in a great mood to get started with things. We have all the enthusiasm with us. We should make the best of it, use this momentum to push forward with important and meaningful projects.
The Capricorn energy, later in January and February, will help us get organized and make our earlier enthusiasm more sustainable long-term. It will be a great moment for planning, reassessing and structuring.
So let us all hope and try to make the best of this!
2025 was an intense year, 2026 will follow the same trend. We are living in interesting and pivotal times, as an astrological alignment from around WW2 forms again. I don’t like provoking panic, which I see some people spreading about this. But yes, it is important to pay attention that an alignment that last occurred a 100 years ago is happening again.
Along for the ride, 2026 will promote great changes and ups and downs. We will specially see these fluctuations in regards to religion, technology and politics.
This text is divided in two pages, with this first one discussing mostly the mundane effects and trends for the year. The second page gives personal predictions and guidance, for each of the 12 signs.
Context
Main Factors
Saturn conjunct Neptune
Saturn conjunct Neptune is a very important mundane aspect, that was already active last year, and stays with us in 2026. It shows a new cultural cycle, moving away from the previous one started in the late 80s. Culture forms society, so this is the starting point for many changes in the world. The quote below, from September 2024, highlights this as a time of political change with the shifting moods around the world.
On the political landscape, this is a strong moment of change. Any leader who entered office before 2025 will be in an uncomfortable position. They might be swapped by a rival, or even a new comer, as the moods shift away from the sentiment that lead them into power.
Saturn conjunct Neptune predictions
Again, I don’t want to repeat my whole predictions for Saturn-Neptune here, those that want more details are advised to read them. The main thing to understand is that 2025-2026 are a time for big cultural and societal changes.
I still am very proud of that prediction, and all I laid out in there. However, I do regret not emphasizing some things that I only hinted on, such as a decline in organized religion/dogma and a similar decline in liking of foreign cultures or foreigners.
I made a bullet point that kinda hinted at that, but I didn’t make it clear. We can’t win them all! But let’s rectify this now.
Isolation, creation of separate communities, detachment/independence from the norm.
Could deal with balkanization or separatism
Saturn conjunct Neptune predictions
Sagittarius is the 9th house of expansion. It shows the traveler, the one who wanders, the one who seeks new experiences away from home. Again, favoring anything foreign. The 9th house is also the house of dogma, religion, philosophy and beliefs. Sagittarius can be bossy, enforcing rules, ideas and philosophies. His way or the highway. This is very important for religious leaders, you can’t have an institution without rules, norms and traditions.
The Sagittarius conjunction, all the way back in 1989, favored those Sagittarius ideas in the cultural zeitgeist of the decades ahead. The years ahead were the height of travel, discovering new cultures, immigration, globalization and this intermingling.
And now this is waning, as the new conjunction in Pisces takes the rein.
Anti-immigration rhetoric is rising everywhere. The mystical wonder of foreign cultures and their (alleged) wisdom is replaced by people discovering and highlighting disgusting habits in them. If you asked someone in the 90s about China, they would talk about ancient wisdom and Sun Tzu. Now people will talk about bat soup, sweatshops and Temu junk. You can see a similar shift with other places and other cultures.
People will try putting the lid back on. Censorship, threats, harassment, crying and screeching. But the lid isn’t going back.
Part of the mystical wonder of anything comes from lack of knowledge. Not knowing, not seeing, not touching, not psychosomatic feeling it. In an age where people can, and will repeatedly, post themselves doing the weirdest stuff. No culture is mystical anymore. You can see the posts, you can read about it, you can watch videos, you can get multiple angles. The mysticism is over.
For the older generations, not that used to this information flow, things might remain in the old status quo. But the younger generations? It’s over. The mystical wonder can be killed with half a dozen TikToks.
On religion, we have multiple fronts to explain. First, some of the same arguments above about foreign cultures can be made. We just have more information, and that makes some things harder.
Mega churches giving scripts to their preachers worked for a long time, not so much anymore when people can make a super-cut with dozens of pastors repeating the same talking points, all unrelated to spirituality, in many different locations.
Similarly, with the amount of corruption we’ve seen in the latest years, why should we trust that scripture/tradition hasn’t been meddled with? With so many religious leaders abusing their position to gain power, wealth and sex; why should we trust them?
Religion is waning, spirituality is rising. That is the change from Sagittarius to Pisces.
Similarly, how many religious leaders were weak and innocuous? Tradition is eternal and should always be followed. Well, except when the government tells you no, then you do what the government told you; screw traditions. If lockdowns were above your traditions then, why shouldn’t my croissant and cigarette be above it now?
The Saturn-Neptune influence was strong in 2025, and it will remain prominent for the first half of 2026, until about June. Still, being a long-term influence, showing a cultural revolution of sorts, its effects will linger long afterwards. Trying to translate this into something more easy to understand, this aspect is like the birth of a child. The coming years will be the actual life of said child, right now we are solely living those initial moments, the crawling before walking. We are seeing the birth of a new cultural zeitgeist, things will become clearer and more prominent in the coming years.
Uranus trine Pluto
This aspect has an irregular frequency, but it last happened about 100 years ago, in the 1920s. That was when Hitler and Stalin were rising to power. The aspect puts Uranus, the planet of revolution and change; energizing Pluto, the planet of power and control. So it is an aspect about change in the world, change in leaders, change in how the world is organized. This aspect will be in effect from 2025 to 2029, marking a strong moment of change in the world.
With Uranus and Pluto in earth signs, the change incoming deals a lot with tangible things, material life, as well as the economy. Incoming economic shifts, for good and bad, will force people to deal with reality. From that, we will see major shifts and transformations.
Below we have the exact aspects between Uranus and Pluto:
For those longer-term aspects, it is always important to notice the exact hits, as they will represent the moments where the most intense events will tend to happen. In this case, 2025 had the aspect in effect, but no exact hit. 2026 will have two hits. So the effects/changes in 2026 will be more intense.
I predict chaotic and somewhat erratic changes in the world in 2026. Uranus and Pluto are both individually notable for promoting complicated shifts. But considering that the Earth element is involved, this becomes even stronger.
Earth shows stability, comfort, immutability and the things “we can count” in life. With two big catalysts of change, this shows that those stable things will change. The calm of life will be uprooted. It is a time of structural change.
Housekeeping (the usual)
Saturn
Saturn in Pisces will be with us, uninterrupted, until June 2027. So Pisces is the Saturn sign for 2026. Saturn represents restriction, reduction, barriers and blockages. Pisces is the sign of dreams, inspiration, creativity, spirituality; so all these things are being restricted by Saturn.
A trend I’ve noticed a lot, in 2025, was a reduced interest in spirituality and religion. Which I attribute to this transit, and I tend to see this growing in 2026.
Similarly, trouble in the arts and entertainment industry is another trend that I see expanding in 2026. Specially in Hollywood, or in other movie giants, we will see downturns and more box office failures.
Jupiter
If I had to describe Jupiter in 2026, as fast as possible, I would simply say: a mess.
Jupiter transits each sign for about 12 months, at times making a perfect transit for a whole year. Many times, it transits two signs in a year. Either way, fairly easy to understand, digest and explain. In 2026, Jupiter’s transit will be loose like the wind, transiting Gemini, Cancer and Leo. Gemini in the beginning, Cancer in the middle and Leo in the very end.
Gemini (05/12/2025-01/06/2026)
Cancer (01/06/2026-31/10/2026)
Leo (31/10/2026-24/01/2027)
Cancer again (24/01/2027-25/06/2027)
The planets tell a story, this is the basis of Astrology. And the unclarity of Jupiter in 2026 sends a crystal clear message to me: this is a time of change and instability. Jupiter, in a way, is mirroring the energy of the Uranus trine Pluto aspect explained above. 2026 is a time of radical and strong changes.
The Jupiter in Gemini cycle itself tends to be unstable, promoting change and variety. So the start of 2026 will be marked by fluctuations and changes. Technology will also be highlighted during this cycle.
Cancer will take over, from early June up until Halloween. Cancer is the exaltation sign of Jupiter, it tends to promote justice, truth and revelations. On the downside, it can deal with righteousness.
Leo will end the year on an interesting note, as it favors ego, expansive behavior and big personalities. Conflict in regards to rulers is possible in the end of 2026.
Rahu and Ketu
Rahu and Ketu, the Lunar Nodes, will be in Aquarius and Leo respectively for most of 2026. They will enter Capricorn/Cancer in late 2026, switching signs on December 5th, so we can easily say that the main influence for 2026 will be Aquarius and Leo.
Great advancements tend to happen during this transit. During the previous transit, between 2006 and 2008, the original iPhone was launched. Which started the smartphone and social media age we live in. Similarly, major advancements could be unveiled now too.
For this current transit, I believe we will see further advances in AI capabilities and usage. It will tend to become ubiquitous and unescapable, in many ways.
Rahu/Ketu in Aquarius/Leo predictions
I see technological advancements as a big thing in the coming year, specially around/after February, with a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. Scientific advancements or discoveries are another possibility.
In regards to politics, Rahu here will favor anyone radical or disruptive. Whether you like them or not, might I add. Radicals you like will advance, radicals you dislike will also advance. The key is being a radical, being disruptive and transformative.
Rahu/Ketu in Aquarius/Leo predictions
With politics, this is the trend. Campaigns this coming year will specially focus on this type of idea, this kind of enthusiasm about creating a revolution, making great change or disrupting things.
Will people get in office and actually fulfill these promises? Or will they simply get in there, and shake the hands of the people they were supposed to combat and disrupt? I’ll leave those answers to your own discretion and intuition.
With politics I always find important to make a distinction between promises/rhetoric and the actual execution of the job. The 2026 trends, specially, give a lot of rhetoric. Execution? Maybe, sometimes, not always.
December Change
I don’t want to get into full details about the Nodes in Capricorn/Cancer, because it is more of a 2027 factor, but this change in December is very interesting regardless. This shows a great mood change in December, so great shake-ups are possible in the end of 2026, as well as regrets.
Predictions
The main thing about 2026, to me, is radical change. We have an alignment that last occurred about a hundred years ago, around the time Stalin and Hitler were rising. I’m not saying the same will happen. But I’m saying that these are unusual and rare times.
The trend in 2026 deals with strange events, strange revelations and strong change. Many shake-ups are bound to happen. Specially in the second half of the year, around July, we will tend to see things getting more intense.
Yearly Trends and Atemporal Events
Radical change
Unusual events and twists
Reduced interest in religion/spirituality, rise of atheism
Disturbances to the status quo and the common way of living (Earth element shaken)
Economical disconnect (real economy v. speculative markets)
AI will become more ubiquitous
Decline in consumer computing, increase in cloud computing and subscription services
Elaborating on some of these points (I can’t resist turning bullet points into a long mess):
Religion
Starting from the third point, on religion, it is a touchy subject any which way you put it. But there is a strong downward trend.
The age of TikTok has completely exposed religion as a business and manipulation/control mechanism. From mega church pastors preaching you should support random wars in the middle-east to be a good christian, to people misquoting religious texts to justify literally anything.
Similarly, what good are traditions if people are simply going to lie, scheme and cheat their way through life? What good are traditions, if people will just throw them out the window the second the government asks to — remember the lockdowns and church closures?
I had never seen so many people questioning these things as much as in 2025. And I see this as a strong trend going for 2026, as Saturn in Pisces is restricting religion/spirituality.
Many astrologers have a blind spot on this area. As they deal daily with spirituality, they have a hard time seeing that the rest of society isn’t exactly walking towards that direction. And society isn’t walking towards religion. Specially now in 2025-2026, with a strong Aquarius influence in the air. The more technology, the less interest in religion; it’s been like that since the wheel was invented.
Still, one thing I’ll say for those that did get an increased interest in spiritual matters, is that you’re the desert flower. You are the exception. As such, your interest will probably be stronger and more intense than the average, because you rose against the current, you rose through the fire, in a way.
Earth
Going to point 4, the Uranus-Pluto aspect is happening in the earth signs of Taurus and Capricorn. The Earth element rules the economy, everyone knows and says this. But many ignore the fact that Earth is life itself. Earth is everything stable, everything common and normal in society.
The Earth element is routine. Waking up, (hopefully) brushing your teeth and having your normal life is the Earth element in action. Even if your routine is waking up a noon, having a drink and being a mess, that’s Earth moving.
So with the Earth element being disrupted by Uranus and Pluto, routines are bound to be disrupted. Do you want an example? Let’s turn back time, let’s go back to 2020.
Saturn entered Capricorn in January 24th 2020. Pluto entered Capricorn in February 25th 2020. Shortly after that, in March 2020, most of the world was affected by the lockdowns and major disruptions to our usual way of living.
I can see a similar trend in 2026. It won’t be the same, that was Saturn (restriction) in 2020. Now it is Pluto (transformation) and Uranus (disruption). But still, it is the Earth element being affected.
So I expect 2026 to have major shake-ups to our way of living and organizing the world, specially around the second semester, when Uranus-Pluto intensifies.
AI and Tech
On point 6, it’s over. I still read journalists and creative types (also known as, the people who hate AI) saying that AI is a passing trend, that it will never catch on. Yet everyday I see more and more people using AI for more and more things. It’s over. You lost. Just as teachers were wrong in telling us “you won’t always have a calculator”, you were wrong.
Speaking of clichés, many people are talking about the AI Bubble. It has become my favorite moron test. If someone starts talking about the AI Bubble, as if they were the smartest pioneer on earth, that first discovered this phenomenon; I know that I’m dealing with a moron.
But is it a bubble? Is it not a bubble?Everything is a bubble in our economy. Everything has been speculated and overspeculated. If something as important as healthcare has been speculated, of course talking computers have been speculated. That is not a new discovery, that’s not an important question, it’s a cliché.
Do you want a truly smart question: does it matter?
Of course it does! When the Dot Com Bubble popped, the internet stopped existing, forever. This is why this website is simply a fax that I send to the people on my rolodex.
People talk about the AI Bubble thinking that it will be a magical inflection point, where we will turn back time to 2010. All the easy copywriting and basic art gigs, automated by AI, will go back to humans; with double pay for emotional damages caused by AI.
But again, the Dot Com Bubble happened, and its history can teach us. Was the bubble a real thing? Yes. Did companies go bankrupt? Yes. Did the internet stop existing? No. Did the internet keep growing? Yes.
The speculation matters, mostly, to speculators. Some will bet right, and gain lots of money. Others will bet wrong, go bankrupt. Either way, people will keep using AI. The branding may change, the companies may change, but people will keep using it. The bankrupt companies will be safe, in our AI hearts, and our AI hearts will go on and on.
…
On point 7, I see price increases all around on online services, from streaming services to dumb stuff like mailing lists. Companies will focus more on services and subscriptions, instead of hardware. So prices will go up.
I really want to be wrong on this prediction, I hope I am wrong. But I don’t think I am.
Timeline and Temporal Things
January isn’t that much to write home about, in my view, it will be mostly a preamble. True change and events will arise February and onwards, as we approach the Eclipses.
Still, January has some interesting Mars aspects, which could show a time of conflict and intense action. Around the 8-10th of January, we could see some passionate argument, leading to some type of information being revealed.
February becomes an interesting month, as the first Eclipse of 2026 will happen on February 17th, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. This Eclipse will square Uranus, triggering change.
On the positive, that can be a time where new technological advancements are unveiled. On the negative, it can deal with strong political/military turmoil happening. Africa and South America are two regions where we could see shake-ups and events.
March follows the trend, with a Lunar Eclipse in Leo on March 3rd. I highlight early March mostly under the umbrella of the Solar Eclipse, as repercussions and events derived from February will unfold. Still, this Lunar Eclipse could deal with trouble in Europe, as leaders lose face in some way. Similar could happen in Asia and Australia.
Mid to late April will have Mars conjunct Saturn which, again, could deal with a time of conflict and turmoil. May 10th-12th could similarly be troubled, as Mars will be Gandanta around then.
May is interesting, as Pluto will turn retrograde on the 6th, which puts Pluto in route to his alignment with Uranus in Taurus. May-August is a pivotal period, where we will start to see the intensity of Uranus trine Pluto.
June has Jupiter finishing his transit in Gemini, and entering Cancer, where it will transit until around October 31st. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so along with the Uranus-Pluto aspect, this transit will intensify world affairs.
August has the second round of Eclipses in 2026. We start with a Solar Eclipse in Ashlesha, on the 12th. That nakshatra deals a lot with scheming, deception and lies. So August can be a time of great political schemes, trickery and even violent events like assassinations.
The 28th of August will have a Lunar Eclipse in Shatabishak. The usual themes of Aquarius, with technology and politics can be highlighted. But the most interesting part of this Eclipse is that the Sun and Moon will be at 10° of Leo/Aquarius, while Uranus will be at 11° Taurus, Neptune at 9° Pisces and Pluto 9° Capricorn. So all these planets will be in a fairly close alignment.
To me, this shows late August and early September, having some intense event. Things might run out of control in a way, and the unexpected can happen.
September has Mars entering Cancer on the 18th, where it will transit until November 11th. Cancer is the weakest sign for Mars; showing cowardice, emotional action, pettiness and vengeance. So we can pencil September-November as a time for this.
October will end with Jupiter entering Leo, so there will be a gandanta transit between October 24th and November 7th. To me, along with other influences, this specially shows petty and vindictive actions happening in late October and early November.
December will end 2026 in an interesting manner. Saturn and Neptune will turn direct, and Jupiter will go retrograde; all around the 10th-12th that month. Still, the most notable factor of December 2026 will be Rahu and Ketu switching signs, entering Capricorn/Cancer from December 5th 2026 until June 23rd 2028.
The change of the Nodes always signals a strong change in mood, as Rahu shows obsessions. So I see great regret coming out of 2026. Decisions made in October-November will be revised, under a new light, and great regrets are bound to come out. Specially in politics, people will walk back on promises barely made a month before, leading to this type of regret.
Plus, we will have Ketu gandanta from around November 19th until December 25th, which can deal with intensity and conflict in these final months of the year.
As this is not such a happy note to end, let’s go to page 2 and see some personal effects.
