The outer planets take decades to go through all the signs of the zodiac, and they move at different speeds. Saturn and Neptune for example, are only together once every 36 years; the last time was at the end of 1989. Saturn is the planet of shape and form, of solid structures, rules and regulations. Neptune is the planet of visionary ideas and ideals. When Saturn meets Neptune, ideas that were mere hopes or dreams can become reality now. Last year, they both spent a few months in Aries, where they will meet in a few weeks’ time, and that gave us a taste of what might lie ahead.

As well as being joined to Saturn, Neptune is also in exact alignment with Pluto, two signs away in Aquarius. A similar alignment between the two planets occurred frequently between 1950 and the early 1980s, which influenced the social revolution of the 1960s; and now it is back again, from 2026 to 2032. It is possible to suggest that this could create another wonderful era of music and culture. But in the earlier phase, Neptune and Pluto were in Libra and Leo, signifying love and self-expression, while this time they are in Aries and Aquarius, signifying a much more closely controlled society, far less free.

There is no doubt that the next few years will be challenging. There will inevitably be disruptions as we get used to the new routine. But on an individual level, there will still be moments to treasure. Jupiter spends this year in Cancer and Leo, both signs where Jupiter is strong, and can exercise its beneficial influence to help us. Venus and Mars are together in January and make several contacts during the year, interacting with each other all the way through until December, so even in this time of upheaval, there are plenty of opportunities for romance.

Aries is a sign of new beginnings, and of direct action—often without compromise or consideration. The softness and tolerance of Pisces, where Neptune has been for the last 14 years, will be gone, and Saturn will be quick to impose new rules of his own. We should not, of course, expect the world to change on the exact day that these two giant planets are together. They have until 2061, to develop and work through their potential. But the changes will be there all the same, some more obvious than others.

Aries (21 March to 19 April) 

This may be the best year you can ever remember, and it will take you a while to get used to it. In time to come, you will be able to see this year as a sort of dividing point between the way your life used to be and the way that it is now. The reason for this upheaval is the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries in February. It affects everyone, but because it’s in your sign, you get to feel it first.

Neptune is going to stay in Aries until 2038, so there’s no escaping his influence. You will find that your life becomes less fixed and more flexible. If that sounds like a recipe for adventure, then you’re right, it is. That’s a very good way to look at it but at the same time, if you are looking for something more definite and reliable, then Neptune in your sign is going to make that much harder to achieve. Neptune’s influence is, above all, fluid, and he has a tendency to break things down rather than build them up. But as an Aries, you will find a way to deal with that—you always do.

A few days after Neptune enters your sign, Saturn does the same and will stay with you for just over two years. Normally, you would see this as a long time, but in comparison to Neptune, it seems quite manageable. While Saturn is with you, his task is to make you stronger and harder. Perhaps he is there to provide the firmness that Neptune is taking away. But in a few months from now, you will be a different person—that much is certain. You are rebuilding yourself for the long term.

Personal Life

There are signs of a new relationship when the year is only a few weeks old. It has all the passion you could wish for but there’s more to it than that. There is power and ambition in the mix: Perhaps you hope that by getting together like this you can help each other in your respective careers. As you might expect, it’s good for the first few months, but by the summer, the differences between you are starting to show. It all looks sweet again by November but only if it lasts that long—it might not. It’s likely that by then, you will both have gotten what you wanted from it and moved on.

Career

Just as with the new love affair, your work interests are best in the early months of the year. Bear in mind that when the Sun and Mars move through your sign around the time of your birthday, activating the power of Saturn and Neptune as they do so, your career will most probably take a different path. Therefore, what you do in the first three months of the year should be seen as trying to fulfil your previous ambitions, taking the rewards you have earned, and finding a way to leave that part of your life behind, tidy and complete.

Finances

There’s an unexpected boost in April, perhaps a payoff as you move from one career phase to another. June is also good but the end of the year is best of all. Whatever way you have found to go forward under Saturn and Neptune, it is obviously well-paid.

Taurus (20 April to 20 May)

This should be an easier year than last year, softer and more comfortable. Saturn and Neptune are together, which is a real game-changer, and many of the signs will react very strongly to that. But for Taurus, their influence stays in the background for now, so you can relax. What matters most to you as a Taurean is that Uranus finally leaves your sign after seven years of pushing and prompting, trying to get you to do things you didn’t want to do. Right up to his last day in Taurus, he will still be urging you to make significant changes to your life. But as soon as he is gone, you’ll feel the release of tension, and the calmness that you have been dreaming of. Will you slip back into your old ways, or are they too far back now—back in the 2010s, in fact—for you to return to? Maybe you will move forward on your own. You’re not opposed to the idea of progress; you just don’t like being pushed.

Personal Life

In early January, you meet someone new, who thinks the same way that you do. Maybe you just like the same movies and laugh at the same jokes. Or it might be something deeper, like a cause you support or a philosophy you try to live by. Whatever it is, it brings you closer, and this mental rapport is what drives the relationship. The physical side of it, if there is one, will come later. From then on, the year is the usual sequence of ups and downs, with a few arguments along the way, but the end of the year is a time of much heart-searching. Are you trying to decide whether this relationship is the right one for you for the long term? Maybe it contains much that delights and inspires you.

But at the same time, there are things that you really don’t like and you can’t find a way past them. What would it cost you to make it work? Would the necessary sacrifices be something you could live with, long-term? Or are you looking for a way out of the relationship, to end it without making a lifelong enemy out of someone you have always thought of as one of your best friends? Throughout the final three months of the year, there seems to be a lot of arguments. Although there seems to be a satisfactory resolution, the relationship may well have lost something in the process.

Career

An eclipse at the top of your chart in February opens up a new path. You wish it had happened earlier but it still has a lot to offer, and almost everyone you know says you should take it. It also picks up the influence of Uranus, which at this point is still in your sign, and will push you to embrace change and make the move as always. But there is something else, a more personal project, that you would like to pursue. If you were to take what this eclipse offers, you would have to let go of that. Maybe your other project could be put to one side for a year or so, maybe not. You will have to make the final decision yourself.

Finances

There are signs of long-term improvement from April onwards. In the short term, there’s a dip in July, balanced by a little lift in December.

Gemini (21 May to 20 June)

This year sets you free to do whatever you want. When Saturn moves out of the top sector of your chart in February, everything that has prevented you from moving upwards or taking a new direction will disappear. Then a few months later, Uranus enters Gemini, where he will stay for the rest of this decade and into the early 2030s. While he is in your sign, he will bring you a constant stream of new opportunities, showing you ways to do things that even you, with your ever-active imagination, never thought of. Naturally, some won’t work out quite the way you imagined but you won’t mind that. You will simply change course and try something else. Success and status have never been your real aim, anyway. Novelty and variety, that which fascinates and amuses you, are what you like best, and Uranus in your own sign will give you as much of that as you could wish for.

If you have been wondering when your time might come, the phase of your life where you could really be all that you wanted to be, this is it. It won’t be an instant transition, and you will have to be ready to take some initiatives yourself. But Uranus in your sign should make you much more positive and optimistic about anything you take on, and that will make a big difference to the outcome.

Personal Life

This new year seems rather low-key. It may well be that you are so busy enjoying your new independence and getting involved in new projects, that you don’t have time to commit yourself to a long-term relationship. If you’re already in one, you seem happy to keep it as it is for a while. That’s fine, as long as you don’t let it get to the stage where you take it for granted or ignore it. If you’re on your own at the moment, you will have so many new experiences to explore and enjoy that you won’t have time to be lonely.

The end of January could be surprisingly sexy but it is also likely to be more emotionally intense than you want. Somehow, it feels more like the end of something rather than the beginning. Whatever it is, the timing is wrong and you will probably say so. There are more opportunities in April and in August, both of which are bright and chatty, more about enjoying each other’s company than anything deeper, and for that reason, are more likely to last. The very best times come at the end of the year. Perhaps by then you will have seized some of Uranus’ new opportunities, be making good progress, and can relax a little. If so, there is a warm romance on offer, if you want it.

Career & Finances

Launching yourself into a different work endeavour, as it seems likely this year, could bring financial problems. There are some tight spots in March, June and November, but if you are ready for them, with adequate backup, you should be fine. An eclipse in August may bring a setback. But comfort yourself with the thought that it is better to find out sooner than later, when you would have wasted even more money on something which could never repay you. Stay optimistic and all will be well.

Cancer (21 June to 22 July)

This is a year of high achievement. After lots of hard work and patience, you finally reach the goals that you set yourself. And equally importantly, you will be given the rewards that you have so long awaited. It’s also likely that this represents the high point of this career arc for you. But there’s no need to look for your next big challenge just yet. Stay where you are for a year or two and enjoy the view from the top. You can also expect some powerful eclipses which fall across the financial axis of your chart. There’s more to them than just a salary boost, although that’s likely too. They may well signify an upward change in your lifestyle and extend that into the future. It’s all part of the same process. You will take a big step up, in every sense. Not just bigger and richer but better and more mature. It also provides a framework for the years ahead, which perhaps you didn’t have before, and that will give you a reassuring sense of security.

Personal Life

Here, there will also be a big step up, though at first you may not like it. What you hoped would be a quiet and private affair seems to acquire a momentum of its own to be very visible to all, which is definitely not what you had planned. Only when Venus and Mars have moved to quieter sectors of the sky do you feel that you can get it all under control and start to enjoy it.

Between May and September, it is more or less what you want and moving along quite well. But then comes the big decision. Is it what you really want, deep down? It’s better than it was at the start of the year but is that enough reason to commit to it for the long term? If you had the chance to start again, would you take it? And if you do want to continue with it, where do you want it to go? What are your upcoming plans? These questions, and the discussions they provoke, will be in your mind every day between October and December. Eventually, you will reach a decision you are happy with, which is true to what you really want. But whether this is the relationship that you take forward into the future is a different question.

Career

The way your status at work moves up when Saturn and Neptune start to cross the top of your chart will be hard to miss. But what you might not be ready for is the glamour that comes with it. This is all due to the influence of Neptune, which simply won’t allow you to be successful and to stay in the background at the same time. You will have to get used to people looking to you for leadership and advice—you are easily capable of it. But it requires a certain confidence and it will take you a little while to learn that.

Finances

The presence of Jupiter in the money sector throughout the second half of the year will enlarge and enrich your life even further. With all three powerful planets active in your chart, your life is being improved and remodelled in ways you could never have imagined.

Leo (23 July to 22 August)

This might be the best year of the decade for you. Jupiter is coming back to Leo in time for your birthday, and from that point on, your life will feel like one long celebration. Jupiter brings energy, movement, growth and success to everything he touches; in other words, good times. He is all yours this coming summer and on into early 2027 as well.

To have Jupiter in your sign means the start of a whole new Jupiter cycle, which lasts twelve years. Therefore, what you do this year is, in some ways, planting the seeds of your future prosperity. You will see your long-term projects starting to grow, and your ambitions alongside them, over the next three or four years, reaching their greatest extent somewhere in the early 2030s. But all of that lies in the future. This year, while you have the planet actually in your sign, you can simply enjoy the party mood that Jupiter always brings with him. The only thing you need to worry about is over-indulgence because Jupiter simply provides more and more. You have to set the limits yourself.

Personal Life

You will get more in your love life, too. This year’s solar eclipses are in your own sign and the one opposite, which symbolises your partner, whoever that might be. Therefore, all the surprises, upheaval and breakthroughs that eclipses bring will be concentrated in your relationships. You can expect some memorable times. Almost none of it will be as you planned it because eclipses are so unpredictable in the way they make things happen. Nonetheless, by the time you get to the end of the year, you will be able to see that everything that happened was for the best, and that you probably wouldn’t have made the decisions you did if you hadn’t had the eclipses to push you.

If you’re looking for a new romance, meeting someone in February might lead to more than just exchanging phone numbers. Or if you are struggling with a relationship which has clearly lost whatever it had, then this might be the time when you both accept that it’s over. These seem quite significant, and they are, but it’s the August eclipse in your own sign that will really resonate. This one, too, may mark the start or the end of a relationship, but it will also prompt a deep re-examination of yourself, and the person you feel yourself to be. Do you want to be the person you are now for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be someone different? And what sort of relationship would that person want or need? These are huge questions and answering them requires you to be both brave and honest.

Career

You seem to be entering a more stable phase. At the end of the year you may be thinking about making an agreement for the long term. Make sure it’s not too restrictive.

Finances

There are upsets in March and in August but an upswing in December shows that you’re over them and on your way back.

Virgo (23 August to 22 September)

This is one of those years where everything changes, with Saturn and Neptune re-shaping your future, Uranus changing your role at work, and a lunar eclipse in your sign as well. The best way to deal with that is to ride whatever waves come along in the tides of global change and see where they take you. Trying to stay where you are isn’t really an option, as you will see. Maybe you’ve never really thought about where you might be in five or 10 years’ time, or what you might like to be doing.

Let Saturn and Neptune open up some wider horizons for you and show you new possibilities. As always, you find it hard to think on a large scale or to step outside the routines you know. That’s what Neptune is for: To stimulate your imagination and to encourage your creativity. Then Saturn will help make those dreams into reality. Not instantly but certainly within the next year or so. There are really no limits to what you can do. If you can think it, you can do it. At the same time, Uranus will provide new career opportunities for you, possibly in roles that didn’t even exist a few years ago, yet which are a perfect match for your talents. All you need is the confidence to push yourself forwards at the right moment.

Personal Life

The movements of your ruling planet Mercury are often a good indication of what the coming year brings, especially in the times when it is in retrograde, which show you re-considering certain aspects of your life. This year the emphasis is on your friends and the people you work with. It seems likely, therefore, that as your career changes direction, that new people come into your life, and old ones drop away because you find you have less in common.

It happens all the time but this year the process seems to be happening much faster than usual. The same may also be true in your closest relationship: Are you growing apart from each other? In March you may reach a point where you have to ask yourself where you go next, since going forward is impossible and backwards seems pointless. But there is help at hand for Virgoans—Saturn and Neptune also have a helpful influence on your love life. Since they are already creating a new future for you, it is quite possible that this year they might also be finding you the right person to be with. If so, then a very different, and much happier, future awaits.

Career

Be prepared for sudden transitions. It is part of the way Uranus works, abruptly and unexpectedly. Once you’re used to it, it’s nothing to worry about. It may well be that your present role at work will change without any warning or consultation but another, quite different, prospect will open up a few weeks later. It’s only then that you realise it was all meant to be, and the ending of one actually facilitated the other. Just be brave while it’s all happening.

Finances

All seems well. The best times are probably in March and from October onwards.

Libra (23 September to 23 October)

This year has an almost perfect path following the track of Venus, your ruling planet. It will have a powerful start, with high momentum, lots of distance travelled, then a gentle decline as it returns to your own sign at the end of the summer. The obvious message in this is to not to wait until spring to put your plans into action, but to start in January and make the most of your speed advantage before everyone else realises what you’re doing. You also have the power of Jupiter to help, but only for the first half of the year, so that reinforces the message: Start early, go fast. In the autumn you will be looking at how far you have come and assessing your progress. Either you will be consolidating what you have gained and feeling pleased with your efforts, or having doubts about where you ended up and making plans to make further changes in 2027. From this distance, it’s hard to tell. But one thing is for sure: You will end 2026 a long way from where you started it.

Personal Life

The biggest planetary event of the year is the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, which from a Libran point of view, is exactly the opposite of you, challenging everything that you have become used to, especially in your closest personal relationships. If your view of love affairs has always leant towards traditional and romantic rather than modern, then this year will make you think again. From now on, you will find that the rules of relationships and the shape they take will be much wider and less defined.

At the same time, you will discover that there are certain restrictions placed on you that weren’t there before. That doesn’t mean that all your relationships from now on will be built on deception. But it does mean that you can’t assume rock-solid reliability and happiness forever at the first kiss. The era of sleeping princesses and handsome princes is over, at least until the outer planets have had time to settle into their new positions. But then you’re not the person you used to be either. This year’s eclipses suggest that a long-held and long-hidden personal ambition could be realised this year within some sort of relationship. It was always something that you said you never wanted, or that would never happen to you. But when it does, you’ll be delighted.

Career

The first half of the year is best, simply because you have Jupiter to help, which is as close to a guarantee of success as you could have. But it’s not all straightforward. There are clear signs that in June, as you push hard to reach your goal before Jupiter slips away, you will have to do some determined negotiating if you are to get what you want. The end result, though good, is likely to involve some sacrifices, such as no longer working on a favourite project or with a team that you liked.

Finances

April and June look good, and so does October, but November could be expensive. Once again, some sort of compromise is needed.

Scorpio (24 October to 21 November)

You are simply moving on, and your task for the year is to accept that. Deep in the foundations of our lives, far away from our everyday preoccupations, the rhythm of our existence is shown by the cycles of the outer planets. Most of them are several decades long; some of them last for centuries. But this year, four of them reach significant stages in their development. All of those four involve your ruling planet Pluto, and therefore, they involve you too. None of them are in any way threatening, which is good. But they affect the base of your life, the set of values you live by, the people you always return to, and maybe the place or culture you think of as home.

Your relationship with all of these, therefore, must change in the coming months. Not in a worrying way, just as part of the way that everything changes over time. You know how much you like to keep things under control, and how tightly you cling to what you know, or what has worked for you in the past, but you need to let go. If your ruling planet is moving on, forming new patterns in the heavens to create a new future, then who are you to argue?

Personal Life

This year is everything you could wish for, or at least for the first part. Venus and Mars, the celestial lovers, meet in early January in one of the social sectors of your chart, an the attraction between you will be immediate. You will flirt with each other briefly, but it won’t take long before you have both plunged into a typically Scorpionic love affair, which has enough energy to keep you both interested right through the rest of the year.

The only problems come in the autumn, when your partner wants to move the relationship forward to its next stage. You may feel that they are getting too close, too soon. Ideally, you would like to keep the affair as it was when you started, hot but uncommitted, and under your control—or so you thought. But this is a year where things move on, so you should not be surprised if a personal relationship appears to do the same. For a few weeks, your partner allows you to take things back to the way you were in the early part of the year but you know that it is only a temporary truce, something to win you some time to think. In December, you will have to give a more definite answer, which will decide whether your future is together, or not.

Career

This looks like an outstanding year for your professional interests. Jupiter crosses the top point of your chart as July opens and for the rest of the year, he will open up all sorts of new routes to success. There is also an eclipse in the same sector, an opportunity you weren’t looking for, but which you simply can’t afford to turn down. You know you may never get a chance like this again.

Finances

These are usually kept under firm control in true Scorpio fashion but could rise and fall unexpectedly this year, influenced by the unpredictable planet Uranus. Should you play safe with your money? Yes, but not entirely; Uranus likes those brave enough to take risks now and again.

Sagittarius (22 November to 21 December)

It's time for you to spread your wings. Sagittarians need to travel and to see new places but most of all, they need something to inspire them. As the most intellectual of the signs, big ideas are as important for you as good food and regular exercise. In recent months you have spent too much time tied down to dull routines. Luckily, 2026 is going to fix all that. Your own planet Jupiter is about to enter the part of the sky which signifies both travel and learning, and that is exactly what you need. This is not just about taking more holidays; it’s about real travel, seeing new places and different cultures, deepening your understanding

Personal Life

There will be changes taking place in your relationships, even those that have been happy and settled for several years. Uranus, the planet of sudden change and disruption, now takes up position on the partnership angle of your chart. In one sense, this is to challenge you, with Uranus being like the version of yourself that you talk to in the bathroom mirror as you brush your teeth, giving you advice and telling you to do the things you haven’t yet done; but it is also there to make you re-think. It is true that when Uranus puts alliances under stress they can break. Yet it is also true that they can be rebuilt to be stronger than before. If you are flexible, adaptable and ready to embrace change, then you need have no fear. But if you have become complacent, with the original energy long gone, then Uranus will expose that. The same is also true if you feel that you are quite happy on your own; Uranus will put someone new in your life, who will test all your assumptions and show you that it is time to change.

Career

You are likely to be taking a careful look at how you got to be where you are. What you did in the past worked well enough then and might still be okay now, but will it be so in the future? At a time when so much is changing, you are wise to look ahead. When an eclipse creates a little ripple of uncertainty in March, you wonder whether it’s a sign to move on or to hold on tightly to what you have. Either way, it reminds you that you can’t take your position for granted.

Finances

The start of the year looks good but a lean period in July will need care.

Capricorn (22 December to 19 January)

This year is about laying foundations for your long-term future. In any sport, the start of a new season means that all previous achievements are set aside and the competition begins again. Nonetheless, last year’s champions will be favourites to win and are sure to do well. Your life this year is exactly the same. The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune will sweep away all that you have worked for in recent years and force you to start again. But your previous experience and success will mean that rising to the top will be relatively easy for you.

Saturn’s new position at the base of your chart is ideal for this, though having Neptune there as well means that you must be ready to consider alternatives and not simply repeat what you have done before. As always, deep thought will be needed before making any definite moves. For that reason, you may not seem to make much visible progress this year.

Mars, the planet of action, is below the horizon until August, showing that the real work is being done out of sight. You are not focusing on a single specific project here; you are reshaping the way you live, along with all your aims and motives, for the long term. Do what seems best, rather than what you know will bring a quick result. Listen to your inner voice, and above all, don’t rush.

Personal Life

In your relationships, this year might be more intense than you expected. For Capricorns, emotional issues are always difficult, because the outcomes are so unpredictable; but with Neptune now alongside Saturn, perhaps you can learn to swim in these fast-flowing waters, even if it involves gasping for air at times. You are definitely making an effort here and your partner responds to it with delight, with the result that the affair moves forward very quickly.

Plans for your future together come up out of nowhere, the way that clouds form in a summer sky. All of it is way beyond what you are used to, and far too soon; you have only just learned how to swim, and now you are out of your depth. Luckily, the pace of events slows down from July onwards, and you are grateful for that. In August and September, you are talking about what you want from each other and what you can offer in return. These discussions are proof that both of you are interested in the relationship for the long term. Even if you don’t reach immediate agreement, it shows a level of commitment you can be proud of.

Career

Professionally, you will do well in the first half of the year but are less certain later on. You may discover that being in a position of power gives you less freedom of action than you hoped. You are held back by regulations and established procedures and you will find that frustrating.

Finances

February sees some important moves, and there is a big boost in August, perhaps from an unexpected source. As with everything else this year, think about the long term and invest for your future.

Aquarius (20 January to 18 February)

Trust your instincts about what is best for you now. Your two ruling planets Saturn and Uranus are helpfully aligned to each other in a way that they haven’t been since the mid-1990s, giving you a surprisingly clear sense of purpose. The arguments you usually have with yourself about whether you should do this or that are all resolved; you know what you should do. At the same time, Uranus moves to the part of your chart which expresses your creative talents. If you have ever wanted to write a novel, this is the time to do it. Or start a family. Or open a shop and start your own business. Whatever it is that you want to do, for the love of it rather than fame and fortune, then Uranus will help you do it. Uranus is also in alignment with Pluto which entered Aquarius last year. This pair, too, haven’t been so well placed since the mid-1990s, and the way that they are making far-reaching changes possible but at the same time easy and enjoyable, will last until 2028. This is a very special time, so make full use of it.

Personal Life

Uranus’ new position is good for you. If you want to start a new relationship or take an existing one to the next stage, it will all happen just as you want it and very quickly. The clarity of purpose that you are getting from Saturn and Uranus will show itself in this part of your life too. When you have late-night conversations about how you got together and where you go next, the discussions will not be about whether you are suited to each other but about what you want to do together and how you are going to shape your future.

If this is a new relationship, then you seem to have skipped over the early uncertainty period completely and gone straight into something normally found several years further on. Obviously, this is positive, though it might not be a bad thing to go back and do the cute stuff as well. Don’t let the relentless momentum of Saturn and Uranus prevent you from having a good time along the way.

With Jupiter in the relationship sector of your chart from July onwards, everything will grow very quickly, so you should make the most of every moment before it rushes past, beyond your reach. The solar eclipse in August, also in the relationship sector, may well show a decisive moment, perhaps the point where hopeful plans can be transformed into real events.

Career

The first few weeks of the year are spent looking back, perhaps dealing with unfinished business from the past. The real start to 2026 is in February, when the Sun and Mars pass through your sign, firing up Pluto and Uranus, and launching all your new ventures. By the end of the summer, you are doing so well that you have a little crisis of confidence. Are you really this good? Yes, you are, and don’t worry, you’ll be fine.

Finances

The best period is February and March. A setback in August will be less severe than it appears to be at the time.

Pisces (19 February to 20 March)

A period draws to a close in every way, when Saturn and Neptune leave your sign at the end of January. Without the weight of Saturn, you will naturally feel much brighter and less restricted but you may also feel that you are starting to drift a little without Saturn to anchor you. And what will you do without Neptune to inspire you? The same as you did before it entered your sign, perhaps? That was a long time ago. The world has changed since then and it is about to change again. It may take you a few months to realise it but the years when you had Neptune in your sign were a sort of golden era. Although you will look back on it fondly, you can’t go back there.

Of course, Saturn and Neptune don’t disappear completely; they justmove into a different sector of the sky and that gives you a hint as to where your own path leads next. From now on, the emphasis will be not so much on yourself but on the life you live. You will need to develop a more practical, even materialistic, approach. You don’t have to overdo it—just be a little more sensible and grounded, and don’t trust luck and Neptune to get you out of trouble quite as much as you used to. In many ways, having Saturn in your sign for the last two years has been a sort of training for this. You are already much tougher and more capable than you used to be, so making this transition shouldn’t be too hard. And as always, Saturn works you hard, but pays you well, so your lifestyle with those two planets in their new positions is going to be a lot richer and more luxurious than you might imagine. Is that a fair deal?

Personal Life

A new realism prevails with a pair of lunar eclipses in your own sign. Your partner suggests that neither of you have been entirely true to yourselves in the personas you have presented to each other but instead have been playing roles in the hope of winning the other’s approval. Playing different characters is something you do very easily and most of the time you enjoy it. But now it might be time to take off the mask and to be your real self—for a Piscean, it is the hardest thing of all. The end result will be a different relationship, but a more honest one, and better attuned to the mood of the new era than the slightly unrealistic arrangement you had before.

Career

This is probably not the time for a change. You have too much to do in other areas of your life for that. But Jupiter, your other ruling planet and always helpful, is well placed this year to help you improve and expand your present work role, and maybe even win a promotion. In many ways, these are better rewards than starting out all over again, and certainly more profitable, as you will see in the summer.

Finances

April and May look good but be ready for little ripples of uncertainty as Neptune changes direction in July and again in December.
