The year 2026 has many things in store for sidereal Aries, 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 occupied the twelfth house and will remain there until June 2027. During this period, individuals may experience confusion or uncertainty as the psyche undergoes a process of assimilation that resists rational analysis. This transit encourages drawing upon spiritual and intuitive resources, relinquishing attachments and ego in favor of higher self-development. As Saturn completes its cycle through all twelve houses, there is a tendency to review past years and finalize unfinished projects. This phase is characterized by endings and resolutions rather than new beginnings, with limited support for major new ventures. A strong inclination toward introspection and withdrawal from external affairs is common, with attention focused on inner growth. This introspective state persists for nearly five years, encompassing Saturn’s passage through both the twelfth and first houses, which differ significantly in their effects. The twelfth house transit involves relinquishing aspects of individuality to achieve greater universality, while the subsequent first house transit, beginning in June 2027, marks a return to personal development, utilizing insights gained previously. The twelfth house is associated with secrets, the subconscious, and hidden matters, making this an optimal period for addressing psychological issues and deep-seated emotional patterns. Individuals may feel compelled to confront personal challenges directly, seek psychological therapy, or pursue spiritual retreats. Opportunities for inner healing are enhanced as personal boundaries expand and self-definition evolves. Increased dream activity may reveal subconscious material, prompting analysis and self-reflection. Mystical, spiritual, and occult studies are particularly fruitful, and some may engage in healing or service-oriented work. Saturn’s transit may also correspond with difficulties related to the left eye, unexpected debts, or challenges involving distant countries. As Saturn aspects the second, sixth, and ninth houses, there may be restrictions in wealth, daily work, health, education, and relationships with employers or employees. The aspect to the ninth house can indicate obstacles in acquiring higher knowledge, difficulties with teachers, and generally limited fortune.

On June 2, Jupiter enters the fourth house, where it will remain until the end of the year. During this period, domestic life becomes a primary focus, often resulting in the discovery of living environments that align with personal needs and temperament, fostering balance and stability. Relocation to a new residence or city is likely, and Jupiter’s influence supports successful real estate transactions and home improvements. Activities such as landscaping, gardening, and other earth-related hobbies provide significant satisfaction. There may be an increased emotional attachment to material possessions and a preference for solitude over public recognition. A sense of belonging and security within family traditions is enhanced, and the home may serve as a venue for social gatherings or spiritual practices. Engagement in traditional rituals or experiencing the home as a spiritual sanctuary is common. Positive familial relationships, particularly with the mother, are possible, though in some cases, existing tensions may lead to estrangement, depending on individual circumstances. The fourth house also governs the heart, vehicles, educational achievements, personal comforts, and property, presenting opportunities for acquisition in these areas. Jupiter’s transit aspects the eighth, tenth, and twelfth houses, stimulating interest in occult and metaphysical studies, and facilitating spiritual growth. The eighth house aspect favors outcomes related to inheritances, joint finances, and unearned income, while the twelfth house aspect may indicate beneficial travel to distant countries for spiritual purposes. Jupiter’s influence on the tenth house supports career advancement and increased professional influence.

Since May 2025, the Moon's north and south nodes have been transiting the sidereal signs Aquarius and Leo, respectively, and will remain there until November 25, 2026. These transits affect the eleventh and fifth houses.

This period is associated with significant gains, sudden increases in wealth, and the fulfillment of long-standing financial objectives. There is a tendency to attract influential or powerful connections and a pronounced desire to join exclusive groups. Individuals may exhibit heightened focus and energy toward achieving material and social ambitions. Increased popularity may be observed in large gatherings, political events, or online networks. However, some individuals encountered during this period may appear supportive but are, in fact, envious or manipulative, necessitating discernment in relationships. A strong desire for possessions and status can arise, potentially leading to ethical challenges and a persistent sense of dissatisfaction.

There is a natural inclination to withdraw from involvement with children, romantic relationships, or creative projects, recognizing their impermanent nature. This period favors profound inner work, meditation, and the pursuit of ultimate truths, often resulting in a sense of peace. The South Node (Ketu) emphasizes past karma related to children or self-expression, imparting lessons through detachment. Individuals may experience a sense of observation in life, with reduced attachment to outcomes such as profit, loss, or recognition. It is advisable not to force connections or outcomes in fifth house matters, but rather to accept circumstances as they arise. Energy is best directed toward spiritual studies, research, or meditation, and there may be delays or altered dynamics in relationships with children.
