SIDEREAL AQUARIUS
( FEBRUARY 12 - MARCH 13 )
According to Sidereal astrology, your sign is actually Aquarius, not Pisces. Sidereal astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which takes into account the slow progression of the stars in the sky, which, over time, has changed the positions of the zodiac signs. The word ‘Sidereal’ means ‘star’, so the sidereal zodiac is star-based and is aligned with the actual constellations. The more common system used in the West, also known as Tropical astrology, uses the old positions of the zodiac constellations from over 2,000 years ago and only focuses on the seasons of the northern hemisphere. Currently, the sidereal system is 25 degrees out of alignment from the typical Western system. So, if you are born during the first 25 days of your western sign (February 19 to March 14), your zodiac sign goes back one sign, but if you are born during the last 5 days of your western sign (February 12 to 18), your zodiac sign stays the same!
JANUARY 2026
On January 3, a full moon will occur in the nakshatra Ardra. A teardrop symbolizes Ardra, and its name translates as either "moist" or "moisture." This nakshatra is associated with deep sadness and despair, and is often called the "star of sorrow." In Hindu mythology, Ardra is governed by the deity Rudra, who represents storms and destruction.
The full moon in Ardra is interpreted as a sign of intense transformation, emotional depth, and significant change. This alignment is thought to correspond with potentially hazardous storms in certain regions, marked by strong winds and substantial moisture that may cause considerable destruction. Spiritually, this period is associated with profound personal growth, often experienced as a revitalizing yet disruptive force that facilitates self-realization and the release of psychological and emotional burdens, thereby allowing for new and meaningful developments.
Astronomically, Ardra is located at the end of sidereal Taurus and the beginning of sidereal Gemini. Western astrologers often state that this full moon occurs in "Cancer" due to different calculation methods; however, it will be visible in the constellation Gemini. The fixed star associated with Ardra is Betelgeuse, which is situated south of Taurus and Gemini in the constellation Orion. The Moon in this position is believed to evoke powerful emotions, potentially causing old wounds or deep-seated issues to resurface, analogous to a cleansing storm. This period is regarded as favorable for dedicating effort toward personal goals, as directly confronting challenges may result in rejuvenation and increased clarity.rity.
The intense energy of the full moon is considered to peak on the day of the event; however, its effects are typically experienced three to four days before and after. This may result in a challenging week marked by heightened emotions, with residual effects potentially persisting for up to two weeks as the energy diminishes into the subsequent lunar cycle.
During this full moon, the Moon will be positioned directly opposite the Sun, Venus, and Mars, which are closely conjunct in the nakshatra Purva Ashadha within sidereal Sagittarius. This alignment is thought to initiate a series of global events beginning on January 3 and peaking between the 6th and 11th, with the intensity expected to diminish by the final week of the month. This prominent planetary cluster involving the Sun, Venus, and Mars may coincide with significant meteorological events. In the Northern Hemisphere, this could manifest as record-breaking cold waves accompanied by heavy snowfall, while the Southern Hemisphere may experience major heat waves with substantial rainfall and the possibility of earthquakes.
On an individual level, this alignment is thought to lead to increased energy and ambition, resulting in bolder decision-making, greater impulsivity in romantic relationships, and more assertive financial actions. It may also contribute to significant ego conflicts, heightened aggression, and, on a broader scale, an increased potential for international tensions or conflict.
Jupiter will be in direct opposition to these planets during this period. As the planet associated with expansion, Jupiter's influence is believed to amplify any energies it interacts with. This may intensify both individuals' emotional experiences and the meteorological phenomena occurring during this time.
This close planetary alignment is analogous to the concept of conflicting influences, as each planet is believed to possess distinct characteristics. When the Sun, Venus, and Mars are in close proximity, their combined effects are considered particularly intense. In Vedic astrology, this phenomenon is called combustion, which occurs when a planet is too close to the Sun. From Earth's perspective, the Sun's light obscures the planet, symbolically "burning" it and diminishing its typical influence, thereby hindering its ability to express its inherent qualities.
Between January 12 and 14, these planets will transition into sidereal Capricorn, an astrological sign associated with more stable and controlled energy. This shift is expected to moderate the intense influences present during the full moon and the middle of the month. The planetary trio will subsequently enter the nakshatra Uttara Ashadha and will be joined by the Moon in its new phase by January 18, further concentrating celestial bodies in this region of the sky.
The planetary positions in Uttara Ashadha are anticipated to channel the impulsive and rash energy associated with Purva Ashadha, observed earlier in the month, into a more focused and goal-oriented ambition. This transition is likely to cultivate a heightened sense of purpose and renewed motivation to accomplish significant objectives. Both personal and professional relationships may deepen, with an increased emphasis on permanence and commitment. Opportunities for career advancement, public recognition, and an improved public image are also possible. Nevertheless, a heightened focus on high standards and discipline could lead to inflexibility or excessive perfectionism unless balanced by humility and empathy. These astrological influences may also align with major developments in international diplomacy, significant policy reforms, or the rise of influential and principled leaders on the global stage.
2026 FORECAST
SIDEREAL AQUARIUS (FEBRUARY 12 - MARCH 13)
The year 2026 has many things in store for sidereal Aquarius, but three major planetary transits will shape the general tone for the next twelve months. They are Saturn’s transit through sidereal Pisces, Jupiter moving into sidereal Cancer in June, and the moon’s north and south nodes transit through sidereal Aquarius and Leo.
Since March 2025, Saturn has been transiting the second house, emphasizing wealth, possessions, and self-worth. Individuals may experience increased financial pressures and a heightened focus on generating income, meeting expenses, and, in favorable cases, acquiring material benefits. This period is characterized by practicality and a quest for financial security. The relationship between self-worth and the ability to generate wealth becomes more apparent. Income is likely to be restricted, prompting deeper reflection on personal values and beliefs. Financial challenges may lead to questioning one's competence and value. This transit encourages the development of a healthy sense of self-worth. Some individuals may achieve greater financial success during this period due to genuine self-confidence and sustained effort in previous years. Conversely, those who have neglected material needs may face significant difficulties, including debt and financial instability. It is essential to confront the role of money in one's life, avoid gambling, speculative ventures, and extravagant spending, and focus on building stable resources. The second house also pertains to education and family life, potentially resulting in domestic challenges, academic difficulties, and limited earnings. Health issues, such as problems with the right eye, may arise. As Saturn transits the second house, it also aspects the fourth, eighth, and eleventh houses. The fourth house aspect may bring restrictions related to home, vehicles, comfort, happiness, maternal relationships, and educational achievements. The eighth house aspect suggests limited gains from joint ventures and insurance, as well as possible reproductive health concerns. Occult studies are generally not favored during this time. The eleventh house aspect restricts financial gains from side ventures and may hinder relationships with friends and the achievement of long-term goals.
On June 2, Jupiter will enter the sixth house, which governs work, self-improvement, and self-healing. This period is characterized by opportunities for personal growth and the refinement of individual methods, practices, and routines. Individuals are likely to experience success in their daily work, encountering minimal resistance or criticism. Menial tasks and detail-oriented assignments may become more enjoyable, and technical or typically tedious jobs are less likely to cause frustration. Projects and endeavors are expected to proceed smoothly. Positive relationships with co-workers, supervisors, and employees are likely, and enthusiasm for work may increase, potentially leading to improved working conditions. There is an enhanced capacity to strengthen the body and address health deficiencies, with access to effective medical care. This period is also favorable for initiating new diets or fitness regimens. The sixth house also pertains to adversaries and competitors. Given Jupiter's benefic influence, significant concerns regarding rivals, opponents, or envious individuals are unlikely. During Jupiter's transit of the sixth house, it also aspects the tenth, twelfth, and second houses. Favorable aspects to the tenth and second houses suggest potential for career advancement and financial growth. Educational pursuits, knowledge acquisition, and literary activities may also be beneficial. Jupiter's aspect to the twelfth house indicates a reduced likelihood of unexpected debts or expenses. Overall, this period supports substantial personal and spiritual growth, and may include travel to distant countries for spiritual purposes.
Since May 2025, the Moon's north and south nodes, Rahu and Ketu, have been transiting the first and seventh houses.
North Node In 2st House
There may be a strong desire to change one's image or life direction, accompanied by restlessness and a pursuit of new experiences. This influence can enhance popularity, ambition, and innovation, but may also increase susceptibility to ego conflicts or self-deception. Potential effects include mental stress, insomnia, unusual dreams, or dermatological issues. Sudden opportunities and financial gains are possible if the influence is positive, while losses may occur if negative. There is an increased focus on technology and modern ideas, but also a risk of mental confusion, financial instability, conflicts, and a persistent sense of unease.
South Node In 7th House
Confusion, detachment, or sudden changes in marital or partnership dynamics may arise. Individuals may experience a sense of disconnection from partners or encounter unusual challenges, prompting a deeper understanding of commitment. Business collaborations may become unstable, and there may be an increased attraction to unconventional partners or relationship styles.
With the north node in the seventh house (partners) and the south node in the first house (self), individuals may experience increased ambition alongside self-doubt. This transit encourages the development of inner strength and independence. The focus shifts from external partnerships to inner spiritual growth, fostering a deeper understanding of self and relationships. Past-life patterns in relationships may become evident, prompting important lessons regarding attachment and detachment.
