The climate
The Sun is in your sign: this is your season, when you are seen and your projects gain momentum.
The slow planets this year
Jupiter in Cancer (in your sign): solar house 1. Jupiter in the 1st house: a year of personal expansion and renewed confidence, sometimes a few extra pounds; you take up space and people make room for you.
Jupiter moves in Leo on June 30, 2026: solar house 2. Jupiter in the 2nd house: income can rise, and so can spending; the real gain is a wider sense of your own worth.
Saturn in Pisces (in trine): solar house 9. Saturn in the 9th house: beliefs get tested, advanced studies come to fruition, and life abroad demands paperwork and effort.
Saturn moves in Aries on February 14, 2026: solar house 10. Saturn in the 10th house, at home: peak or fall depending on what you’ve built; heavier responsibilities, well-earned recognition.
Love and relationships
Venus in opposition puts the couple under the magnifying glass: an honest conversation beats a polite smile. A calm emotional climate: perfect for a low-stakes moment together, or for taking care of yourself.
Work and money
Mercury in your sign: your mind is sharp, your words carry. Write, negotiate, express yourself. Mars in opposition: power struggles tighten. Assert yourself calmly, without giving in or crushing. No particular push on the action front: move at your own pace, steady and solid. Saturn supports you: patience pays, and structures hold. Saturn in square: time feels long. What resists today will make you stronger tomorrow. Mercury retrograde: reread contracts and messages, back up your files, and prefer picking up an old file to launching a new one.
Energy and body
High energy: your body follows your desires. This is the moment for a workout, a long walk or a big clear-out.
The advice
The sky is on your side: act fast, and thank generously.
