Aries
Mar 21 - Apr 20
You have a friend who is about to trigger certain basic questions about Top Dog Syndrome again. You have known this person for years or you may find the friendship takes off in a different direction while this Pluto cycle is running. Yet again, this friend is about to push more buttons than you knew you had. So, you must now live with the realities of being this person’s friend and he or she is your best personal trainer in years. If you want to have more power, use willpower with them. If you want more clout, run yourself and your life with more self-control. Is it their personality, the changes in their life or their circumstances? Is it the chemistry you have with them or decisions they’re making which directly affect you? Take a deep breath and take stock. Pluto is here to teach you something about friendship which you can only learn every 258 years. He or she may be on social media or in your closest circle. Call your own shots.
Taurus
Apr 21 - May 21
Your soul, spirit, psychology and psyche now ask for a lot of patience. Destiny will line up the people you need most at this time to teach you the most about your own maturity. You can still gain from this (even at the age of 70), so don’t necessarily think that age has much to do with this situation. Instead, it’s all about your ability to quietly accept what you cannot change and then get on with the business of trying to make your inner life work. A test of faith is common, so is the need for self-help or a counsellor. Saturn in Aries in your Twelfth House only happens every 28 years. When it does, even something you always did (meditation, Tarot reading, prayer) may come with a lot of ring-fenced restrictions. Knowing the limits is wise, so is giving yourself a lot more time. Don’t watch the clock or calendar on any Saturn cycle but do know that 2026 is not the end of it. Taking on a new priest, psychic or therapist? Read the very fine print.
Gemini
May 22 - Jun 21
I don’t honestly think your waiting games with this online or real-world group are going to go away. Fate has set you up in one of those situations which just is. Gemini, you’ve just got these people in your life. But now is the time to roll up your sleeves and set about organising a smart way to manage it all. Even if it’s a case of trial and error and even if you occasionally feel stretched for patience, you must rise to the occasion now. Saturn lessons also trigger the whole business of being lonely or having no friends too. Do some homework and find out how the sign before yours (that was Taurus) got through this. It won’t be easy and it will take you months, but you will be okay. Treat the creation or maintenance of friendship and group commitment as seriously as the creation of a business. If you have Aquarius factors in your birth chart, the issue is who is top dog? Where is the power and control? Your personal horoscope can show you the private side of what is going on. Pick it up at my website if you do not already have it.
Cancer
Jun 22 - Jul 22
This Uranus in Gemini cycle will give you a rare chance to get to know yourself better and learn about what really makes you tick. You can expect a liberating confrontation with yourself – just you and the mirror or you and a diary or even you and a therapist or priest. You can expect to spend more time by yourself now as your inner self drives the bus. Sometimes this cycle coincides with a period of necessary solitude or a change in your circumstances which finds you marooned by yourself for a while. There are many possibilities, but Uranus in the Twelfth House typically finds a way to remove you from the outside world and put you on the sidelines. It’s this isolation which will trigger the revolution. It’s quite true that your own private time and space are necessary now because you have so much to process. Breaking free from (insert word here) or finding freedom through (insert word here) is part of the trip. If you were ever involved in a shonky cult (for example) or with a shonky cult figure, it may be divorce time. It’s different for every Cancerian.
Leo
Jul 23 - Aug 23
Pluto is now in your Seventh House of professional partners, personal partners and platonic partners. So, your co-writer or your boyfriend. The whole process may well feel like a potent endurance test. It’s certainly not going to be easy or fast. It took Pluto 258 years to get here. But by the time this cycle is over, you will have new psychological ‘bones’ inside you. Leo, you’ll be under reconstruction now even though it’s slow and steady. Crafting this approach to your partner (of any sort) will take at least a year and possibly longer as you set about the task of taking practical steps to manage your new challenge which is to share the reins. Relatively new double acts, Leo, could well turn out to be permanent structures in your life. Of course, they are your big motivator now but can you view your duet objectively and still agree that it is worthwhile to pursue the attitude you adopted in early 2026? This is a key question as your plans absorb it.
Virgo
Aug 24 - Sep 23
You thought you knew your old career, course or unpaid role so well. And now, everything is changing. You’re either desperate to progress or being forced to completely alter things. It might be your academic role, your business situation, your professional set-up or even your unpaid weekend gig. Uranus is challenging you to experiment now without guarantees. However, you will be guaranteed one thing – a far more liberating set of possibilities. Two things will happen at this time with Uranus in Gemini. You can either take the initiative and make your own moves towards a radically different kind of C.V. Or other people’s agenda for change will mean you are suddenly forced to change your position. Their quest for progress in their own lives means you are forced to move as well. In both cases, you are likely to feel uncertain, unsettled and inexperienced. Nevertheless, Uranus is the planet which takes you into your future. In fact, it takes everyone to the next logical step. This is the cycle we know from 1781 when revolution ruled America and France. If you have your birth chart and have more than one Virgo factor, rare opportunities and solutions are timed for mid-2027 to mid-2028. A high percentage will gain promotion or a better new position.

Libra
Sep 24 - Oct 23
Changes around you with foreign people and places should liberate you rather than rattle your cage. The gauntlet is being thrown down now. Move on up or else! That means going to places, symbolically speaking, which you have never been to. But do you really want to spend your entire life with a map of the world which maroons you in the past? Ever since Uranus entered Gemini for good, one nationality, accent or language has called you. It may seem distinctly foreign to you. If you are from the North of England, it may be Los Angeles or New York. If you are Australian, it may be a person from Nepal. You don’t have to be abroad to feel the difference (even though many of you will be and suddenly, too). If you genuinely feel tied down by the way you used to see a particular nationality or the way the world sees you from your pin on the map, then you may be tempted to take the most unexpected U-turn. A proper capital P Pivot.
Scorpio
Oct 24 - Nov 22
Uranus in Gemini is about financial relationships and real estate bonds. It’s intensely personal. The effects you have on other people now could start a chain reaction which will inevitably rebound on you and end up rattling your cage. If you take a revolutionary approach to your banking, business or property, then it’s likely to be a revolution which also forces others to change their position and their place in the scheme of things. Tactics are everything now and so is timing. Gaps will appear quite suddenly for you to go through now and these are the kinds of gaps that will allow for organic change. It means progress, so take it. It may be your former wife. It might be your new boyfriend. A parent. The family inheritance and so on. Your daughter-in-law. You can’t stay stuck in the accounts filing cabinet that the world has put you in. And you shouldn’t. But every successful revolution must happen when the time is right. When the mood shifts around you and you realise you’re free to become a new version of yourself, take it. You can’t price freedom, Scorpio.
Sagittarius
Nov 23 - Dec 21
The difference in your position on the business of partnership will be quite astonishing once this cycle is over. Uranus is asking you to forget about now or then and head straight for the future. You’ll be aware of this planet’s background effects on you for the whole time it’s here as you will either be waiting for a break with this person in order to go forward or uneasily aware that he or she could move their agenda forward at any time which immediately means you have to change course too. This strongly applies to your marriage, of course, but any sort of partnership is affected when Uranus is in your opposite sign. It may be your professional opposite number. Sagittarius, this keeps on happening with the same individual or, perhaps, another partner. Now, once again, you will either have your own agenda for change and progress or find that you are forced to keep moving because he or she seems hell bent on forcing you to change course. This is a long cycle so you may need a long-haul approach. Ducking and diving is sensible. Take a regular pivot.
Capricorn
Dec 22 - Jan 20
If you believe your values are worth it, you may stage your own nuclear level of power claim in this cycle. Watch out for the impact you are having on other people or organisations, though. If you cause too much potential mushroom clouds and not enough peace pipe smoking, you will begin a domino effect that is intense. Pluto in Aquarius can be like that. Very few people like change never mind total transformation, although if you have Taurus factors in your personal birth chart, that’s understandable. (If you don’t have your chart, pick it up from my website). Whatever your natal horoscope is, though, this is the ideal time to step back and look twice regarding cash, property, possessions and values. A great deal depends on how free you are to use the advantage of seeing your tactics from the outside so you can switch your position and even take advantage of the occasional prod or poke. Willpower really is power on this money cycle.
Aquarius
Jan 21 - Feb 19
Saturn, Neptune and occasionally Chiron in the Third House rules new restrictions but also great escapes with travel, transportation and how we get around by train, bus, car, bicycle, motorbike, aeroplane, boat or rickshaw. During this cycle, you will be amazed at the ring-fenced situation (for example) in the car industry or the advances that are made (for example) in public transport services. This is an ancient cycle, and it was predictable long before Donald started a gas/petrol chain reaction. Do you have Gemini factors in your birth chart? Then this really is a revolution too as Uranus in Gemini works in the most unpredictable and unexpected ways with commuting, short journeys and domestic flights. If you need your chart, you can pick it up on my website, Aquarius. As people press for different possibilities globally (electric cars, airline price hikes or even basic corporate airline sludge), though, you are likely to be caught in the push for change. Do take into account the likely knock-on effect on yourself, especially at the moment.
Pisces
Feb 20 - Mar 20
This Chiron in Taurus cycle rules rule bending and rule breaking with communication. Your way with words, information, the world of the telephones, computers and fax machines and no doubt, inventions which haven’t even been thought of yet. It’s about language, social media and the way you get your message across. Some incredible advances in technology could change your world now and we’re not talking about AI slop. You can invent a new way to communicate now. And if the media are getting you down, then you can be your own media. Move on up. Do you have Gemini factors in your birth chart? This goes on past 2030 and will revolutionise the way you use your voice across all mediums. (If you need your chart, pick it up on my website). Whatever your personal horoscope looks like, though, you are now firmly in the zone for experimentation with learning a foreign language, seeing a speech therapist, taking a journalism course, starting your own e-zine and so on. Watch for wider changes in your community, country or around the planet.
