The Year 2026 for Sun and Rising Signs

Predictions for Sun and Rising Signs

Aries

This year’s primary focus for you is, quite simply, finding out who you truly are and where your life’s trajectory is going. This is the start of a new chapter: 2026 will lead you from a process of release and endings to the new beginning you’re searching for, and control over your own path again.

​

Part of this development brings an emphasis on themes around responsibility, including for others will arise from the place of already having a healthy focus on your own needs first, at the basis, and then build social/relational responsibility on top of that. Plus, this year focuses on creativity, relationships, learning, self-expression, and a shift in mindset. The information you need will find you.

​

Lastly, your plans and hopes/dreams for the future are particularly highlighted and will become more attainable at this time. You may meet people you really click with or have life-changing events with those you already know.

​

Taurus

This year highlights the theme of endings and release, of setting the foundations of your life to right so that a brighter future can come. Spiritual and intuitive themes may arise for you at this time, and you may need more rest than in other years (in some cases, due to an influx in workload).

Career, finances, social roles, reputation, and public life, as well as values, are highly emphasized this year and subject to many developments and personal growth. On top of that, this year will show you

which unique gifts and insights you can give to the world at large.

Your home life, home country, family, roots, and your past are of elevated importance as well, with interesting events taking place in all areas here. Fall of 2026 also brings a relational checkpoint where your primary relationships, including romantic ones, are highlighted and true colors emerge. To whom it may concern, the entire year shows a boost in fertility.

Gemini

This year emphasizes new beginnings, opportunities to realize life-goals, and action plans that set you up for a long-term future. It allows you to reconsider beliefs in a different way: learning and education may be a part of your year in the widest sense of the word as you learn more information, widen your horizons, or step into the role of a teacher for others… or go back to school, literally.

Your friendships, the groups you move in, and your community at large are particularly highlighted at this time, with new people coming in and pre-existing relationships here evolving and sometimes being subjected to change. Healing takes place with and through friends.

​

But the major event of this year is Uranus in your house of self and new beginning: this is a time of big-scale life changes and realizing new things about yourself and who you are. Embrace what makes you different, as it paves the path for gifts you can use quite well. Express what you find.

​

Cancer

This year highlights your public life, work, career, and the way you live your mission in life and show up for society as a whole. It also heavily involves themes around authority and agency over your life.

Financial changes may take place (positively, negatively, or both, depending on your chart): make sure you keep an eye on your expenses, work hard, and save up.

With the planet of change in your house of all that is hidden, you may experience some surprises and unexpected information coming to light that impacts you. On top of that, transformation occurs in the second half of this year as people’s true colors emerge in startling ways.

On the positive side, your intuition and spiritual life are massively strengthened. Listen to your gut instinct right now and know that your personal astrological blueprint, which is far more complex than just the Sun and Rising, changes the expression of every single astrological event.

​

Leo

This year is all about your true beliefs and which of those beliefs hold true when tested. Epiphanies, insights, and education rock your understanding and broaden your horizons. This has an effect on your long-standing goals and dreams for the future, as new dreams may come while old ones die. However, the ability to make dreams come true is strengthened.

Relationships are a major focus as well: platonically, your communities and friend groups are going to be shaken up with large-scale change and true colors emerging. One-on-one committed relationships (including romantic ones) are incredibly highlighted with change and passion coming in. Fall may also emphasize family and home for you as well.

Lastly, the second half of this year allows you to evolve as a person and to adjust your view on who you are to what’s really true about you… and gives you opportunities to be loved and to shine.

​

Virgo

This year, themes of truth, trust, and building intimacy on solid foundations are a major theme as deep (past) betrayals are alchemized and true depth is built in the right relationships. Healing of the body, mind, and soul is also emphasized in many different ways: this year sets you up to truly embrace the real you beyond all the wounds life gave you. But before that, those wounds have to heal.

Work, career, agency, social roles, and public life may be subject to change, but also allow you to become more independent and seize more of your personal power. You may find it easier to define where your gifts are different from others, which you can capitalize on.

That being said, it’s particularly important to foster a good work-life balance, especially in the second half of the year. You may move through phases of busyness and phases where more rest is needed by your body: try to accommodate the latter, and productivity rises.

​

Libra

This year is all about relationships, as your love life is highlighted both for short-term dating and long-term (or life-long) committed relationships. This starts with major shakeups where foundations are tested and the wheat is separated from the chaff. Boundaries need to be maintained, and fertility (for whom it concerns) and child-related topics in life are emphasized.

Other themes that are in focus this year are creativity and self-expression, as you’re led to be more authentic about who you truly are. Your community and friend groups may go through changes at this time, and so do your long-term life goals.

Lastly, the biggest focus this year is on beliefs about what is true – with information coming out that changes everything. Traveling and education (and related) may get prone to hiccups and change your life in big ways.

Scorpio

This year is all about the work that you do – both on the level of how (routines, chores, work environment, etc.) and on the level of what (career, work you do outside of your job, being of service, purpose). Agency, power, and money-related matters are especially highlighted, as are reputation and work-life balance. A healing energy comes in as well.

Another major focus this year is on your home, family life, country, and your roots. Your private life is also emphasized at this time.

Last but not least, with Uranus in your house of truths, truth emerges. This is a time to pay attention to what information comes up because it’s more potent for you than for anyone else. On top of that, themes around intimacy, desire, trust, and intuition are also strengthened by the change-making planet. Trust your gut first.

​

Sagittarius

This year is really about following your heart, creating a life that brings you joy, and exploring the world to learn something new. This especially affects the areas in your life that you do for the fun of it (such as hobbies), creative endeavors, and also your children/fertility (if applicable).

Your romantic life and relationships are also emphasized as your need to be true to yourself, liberated, and seen for your differences impacts you in those areas, especially. Information about people comes out, and you may meet new people, or say goodbye to old relationships that aren’t aligned.

​

This is a time when old beliefs you used to hold may change for good as new information and mindsets challenge your perspective. You may also have interesting events in your local life, neighborhood, and/or with siblings and in-laws (if applicable). Use your voice!

​

Capricorn

One of this year’s major focuses for you is your home, private life, country, and family, with the opportunity to build or rebuild your foundations for later success – as well as change coming here.

In regard to work, chores, processes, routines, and health, you may feel some unexpected changes or instability that affect overall habits. Finances, financial decisions and developments, and your values are also at the forefront this year, including finances and values that affect or are affected by others in some way.

Your health benefits if you take full charge rather than depend on others too much, and Summer shows an ability to heal your heart and reclaim your joy in life. Your self-esteem and the truths that were hidden from you before (including truths directly affecting you) bring major surprises this year, and you may shine when you’re aligned with a higher purpose.

Aquarius

A major theme of 2026 is information, your mind, and news coming to you that changes the way you think and communicate with others.  You may even be on a learning journey of some kind. It’s time to see the way your brain is affected by the world and to speak the truth and communicate boldly, and with agency. It’s a time of self-expression with no holds barred and of shining as you truly are.  

For those to whom these themes apply, children and fertility may be a stronger influence this year. This is also a time when your relationship to children, to your own children, or future generations in the world may change. Creativity runs high as well. For all, the first half of this year brings up themes around work, routines, and habits affecting health and finances.

However, a focus for the entire year is on your love life, relationships, and an evolution of your own identity and sense of self. A new beginning may take place, and opportunities to shine come up.

Pisces

This year highlights the values you hold, especially at work: this doesn’t just affect what you do, but how you do it as well. Finances and your work-life balance are also highlighted, and it’s easier to get the positive consequences of past work and to see your gifts shine in the world – in some cases, on a wider platform than you’re used to.

With a theme around endings emphasized, this might be a year of “cleaning house,” releasing attachments and inner burdens, finding forgiveness, and learning life lessons around what you can and cannot control. However, this is a year that teaches you about taking charge – where you can affect the outcome. Spirituality, intuition, and mindfulness become a necessity this year.

For the first 6 months, creativity, joy, and love are more emphasized, while in Fall of 2026 will add to these themes as relationships become your teacher and truths come out.
