Saturn in your family and household zone is not very rock’n’roll. But it does teach you, train you and help you build something real and sensible in your life if you put the 1-2 hours a day in. Get as much advice as you can about the coping strategy that will work best for you, then do it. Doggedly. Repeatedly. And if, after all that effort, it doesn’t work after all? Get back up and start a new plan.
This cycle is about ring-fenced situations with relatives or those at home. Sure, you can be creative in your approach to its challenges, but the trick is to be hard-working as well. Once you come up with a way to deal with your Saturn issues, slog away at it for as long as it takes. And, if you do have to go to Plan B, slog away at that too. It’s the ringed planet but also the stoicism rock.
Your astrology says you have past-life knowledge to bring to the internet or media situation. You can bring intuitive knowledge and practical experience to almost any situation which involves being heard or read. Communication (the written and spoken word) are extremely important areas for you to develop now. Old experiences as a writer, linguist, scribe, broadcaster, speechwriter or orator could surface – giving you unusual calm and confidence even in situations which are new to you. Think back 18-19 years and see what was going on. Fate will also hand you the same communication task several times over, but it should feel easier now. Any media or fundamental communication issues will make you feel as if you’re watching life on rewind by the way, but that should also enable you to manage things philosophically.
Patience will give you a solid grounding in terms of the family which will help you find a strong emotional platform to work from so that you can handle those issues about waiting…and waiting. The Fourth House where we now find a rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction in ♈Aries also rules your house, flat or any temporary accommodation and, on a wider level, it also rules your homeland, real estate and hometown. Take a deep breath and listen to your inner voice as you’ll have some fascinating insights when you remember you’re ruled by Saturn. You know how to wait. And yet now, you also have an escape route.
Money, real estate, possessions and other people’s life budgets can seem so different now as Pluto sends the message that there is more to you than other people’s perceptions of you or the rather old game you and they have been playing. This planet wants you to dig for your substance – the stuff you are really made of underneath which will empower you and give you control of yourself and your life on your own terms.
This process is slow. It may take months or years. But, in many ways, you have no choice. If you hand your power over or give it up, you will pay the price. What empowers you now? Willpower. It’s a superpower.
This fortunate Jupiter cycle is all about your marriage, relationship, former partner or current/ex work or business partner. It is also about anyone who is against you – an opponent, rival or enemy. The effects are the same no matter if you are madly in love, getting married, divorcing, dealing with bereavement or managing a feud. Jupiter’s challenge to you now is to dig deeply for opportunities, solutions, hope, growth and expansion.
You’ll do this by June 30th, 2026, because of an ending (a departure or other dramatic change) or a beginning (a new relationship or a new level of commitment). Other variations on this theme include a dramatic shift in the dynamic of your relationship or marriage which opens everything up. Big!
At this time, power issues and control questions will be played out with business, property, finance and possessions. While Pluto is in your Second House, the arrival of Jupiter (from July 2026) in your Eighth House (which classically rules other people’s money, homes and assets) suggests a massive change this year.
Consequently, you get a double whammy. If your financial affairs, business interests, possessions or property interests are tied up with issues about willpower or self-control – well, that’s normal. In fact, you become stronger by doing your own thing your own way and pushing back.
♑Capricorn – It’s about power or no power, and if you win or don’t win the money, business or lifestyle game in these next few weeks. In all cases, it’s an excellent time to ask yourself what you value most. The bits and pieces of yourself and your life budget which may have been suppressed or ignored now require attention. It’s where your buried treasure is.
Once you uncover it, you will be in a great position to know yourself, set your terms and create your world according to your own value system – never mind other people’s. Pluto in ♒Aquarius and the other transits are about self-control to give you control and willpower to empower you. The numbers are – whatever they are. You know your values.
♑Capricorn – Neptune will finally weave its last threads in connection with three areas of your life now. The first is your siblings – your brothers and sisters. The second is your way with words – your communication with the world. The third is your travel commitments – the short journeys you take either in your own car or. more adventurously, on planes, boats or scooters.
The years of escapism and confusion (yes, confusion) are over from January 26th, 2026. The boundaries return or you will reinstate them. All that is evident this week, ♑Capricorn, with another huge change near February 14th, 2026, when some heavy restrictions are lifted.
♑Capricorn – It’s that time of year after Christmas and into New Year parties, weekend events and school holiday questions when your heart is in the change zone. You either feel trapped by your old position on things and need to move forward or you have to because suddenly changing circumstances push you into taking a new view. Whether you choose a U-turn in your destiny or it chooses you, it all means progress now. Don’t look back. This cycle ends at Easter – possibly because of the school term or maybe a vacation decision involving your partner.
In any case, ♑Capricorn, be you single, child-free, married or with a baby on the way, this week is the same message. The revolution sets you free. The revolution will not be televised. It stops in April 2026.
♑Capricorn – You will be empowered in the money, property and lifestyle game in these years and also experience final chapters which bring a big end chapter with them – even ‘finishing’ a bank or an income source and so on. Situations which other people become incredibly intense about can’t help but affect you too. You have a whopping sign-off decision in January/February 2026. For lots of you, this will involve the house or flat. Real estate. Nevertheless, try to stay as detached as you can about what is going on. ♑Capricorn, the purpose of this Pluto cycle is the same. Rich or poor, unless you dig deeper and find out what and who you value most and what is really priceless, you’ll never have control.
Whatever you are facing still with money or real estate – everything is here to be sorted out. You’re human. That’s part of the deal. Jupiter in ♋Cancer in your solar Second House is here to fulfil you, redeem you (or them) and give you growth, hope and plenty. The planet and our species in general are weirdly geared to growth. Gaia always has her way! There is a powerful creative life force at work on this planet which has the most mysterious way of asserting itself, no matter how many financial or property questions we face. Claim your right to be part of that Jupiter life force and ask for help in getting started again if you need it. According to astrology, absolutely every pile of wealth since 2025 contained a secret life-improvement code. Your values. Huge.
Uranus in ♉Taurus is liberating on the inside. It is what you do in confidence (say, with a therapist) or in your own time and space which will ultimately take you towards freedom. Despite the fact that nobody has a clue what you’re up to (or perhaps, because of it), you will find that you are left with so much more independence. As your current position rests on the fact that you’ve been trading on certain hidden aspects of yourself (while burying or forgetting others), you may want to start by bringing all of you into the picture after April 2026 when the transit ends. For the moment, though, liberation from (insert word) or through (insert word) is here.
Foreigners, foreign cultures and countries, accents and languages are about big control questions now. Pluto is the planet which brings final chapters and new chapters at the same time which force you to confront yourself as you really are. This always results in a new beginning and a new kind of life – usually one which gives you far more control and power if you have the self-control.
In this cycle, you will experience Pluto through travel, relocation abroad (for work or home reasons), study, teaching, publishing and the world of the ‘world’ wide web. That’s quite a mixed bag. But it covers every situation, place and person which expands your horizons – geographical or intellectual. Willpower is your superpower.
You gain from Jupiter now. This means an inward search for what’s genuinely valuable. Priceless qualities. Precious ethics. Valuable skills. It’s irrelevant if you win enormously or just a little with the money, house, apartment, garden, land, shopping, saving, business or lifestyle game in these next weeks until June 30th, 2026.
In all cases, it’s an excellent time to ask yourself what you value most. The bits and pieces of yourself which you think of as real profit now require attention. It’s where your buried treasure is. Once you uncover it, you will be in a great position to know yourself, set your terms and create your world according to your own value system – never mind other people’s.
This new career, unpaid work or academic cycle is about an ending and a beginning. Two chapters close near January 26th, then February 14th, 2026. The narrator suggests, “It’s time you went more deeply into this success and status question, you know.” And, one way or another, you will be asked to do so. In the process, you’ll find yourself finally coming to terms with aspects of your ambition, position or mission that have either been confused to date or completely lost in the fog.
This cycle is about discovering what will help you keep it real (again) above all other things. What will put you in a clearer position? A firmer position? What will allow you to truly feel as if you are back on dry land?
♊Gemini – On January 26th, 2026, the confused and confusing situation in your career, at university/college or with your unpaid role stops. No more shifting tides or fluctuating horizons. No more fuzzy vision. This cycle is also about your part-time or full-time job. If you aren’t in the workforce, it’s about your duties at home as a carer or parent and so on. You’ll pull some new clarity towards you now.
It will probably be a colleague, client, boss, customer or other workplace connection at the heart of the clearing-up process. If you have full-time home duties, it may be your nanny, your child, the fruit delivery man or anyone who is around your home ‘workspace’ on a regular basis. If a certain someone is now infiltrating your life and your space to the point where it’s clear he or she has no idea about boundaries, you need to do all you can to start a clear sign-off.
♊Gemini – This cycle with ⚷Chiron in ♈Aries now, Neptune in ♈Aries from late January and Saturn in ♈Aries from mid-February 2026 will alter the state of play in your social life with your friends and in the groups you belong to. You can see it coming now, perhaps, with invitations around those times or diary dates.
These transits can make it almost impossible to hang on to the way things used to be as well as the way you view your place in the group or with a particular friend. It might be social media. It might be your sports team or your band. If an entire group of people is involved, what happens next is escapism. A way out. A scuba dive out of what is real or normal.
♊Gemini – Karma keeps you on a loop until July 2026, ♊Gemini, in terms of the property market, in the building industry, in mortgages, in tenancy laws and even in the most basic home-related areas. I am sure you know life 18-19 years ago will continue to affect your domestic life in these years. The big picture reveals karma by location for you, maybe more than once and, at the very least, closure with how you live, where you live and the nature of everything from the garden to the kitchen ceiling. Wider loops in the community or in your country will have a karmic effect in your life which means you will end this cycle with final closure in terms of the domestic situation you began with.
♊Gemini – Your career, unpaid vocation or academic career will become real-world again on January 26th, 2026. Until then, contain and control what is going on. When people do not know who they are, they lose themselves in someone else or even in a whole alternative professional or academic vocational or career reality. Are you that person now? Or is your staff member, employer, colleague, professor or classmate?
Nobody is going to want an ordinary normal life now. This can be a final period of total escapism for your mind, body and spirit. As always with Neptune, ask yourself where all this is getting you. And by the way, a long period of restriction and heavy ring-fenced situations stops on February 14th, 2026.
