Billy Idol. Hot in the City

Your personal cycle of transformation continues this year with Pluto now in permanent residence in your sign. Ruler Uranus will be on the move again in April. Exiting Taurus and your 4^th for keeps and entering Gemini and your 5^th of romance and attraction. Love is the surprise for you in ‘26. And it may come in a highly unusual package or form to anything you have experienced in the past. But this is in answer to the changes that have already been taking place within you. Not so much a glow-up but a total magnetic shift that has you not only looking different but radiating a completely different vibe. Change your frequency – change what you attract.

Pleasure trips, big love experiences, and a Summer of Love which lasts for 12 month are also on offer as Jupiter moves from Cancer and your 6^th on into Leo and your 7^th at the end of June. With all your houses of attraction and relating fully charged (your 1^st/5^th/7^th), you can expect this to be one of the best years for love, partnership matters and yes, the pursuit of happiness you have ever experienced.

There are two major go-slow dates for you however. This year also sees the Nodes move from Pisces and your 2^nd and Virgo and your 8^th, to your own sign and Leo and your 7^th. With eclipses on the new axis appearing on Feb 17 and Aug 12. This is when you should avoid travelling, seeking love, major relationship or business decisions, or pushing forward with those personal goals and plans. I will get into these in more detail shortly.

Your new cycle begins with a massive five planet stellium in your sign. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and of course, Pluto, January/February bring a series of Sliding Doors moments for you. One may definitely close or you simply opt not to go through it on the 18^th when the new moon in your 12^th appears conjunct Mars. You will choose a fresh direction instead. This new moon appears the day after Venus reaches your sign. This is your first declaration point around what you intend to do, have or choose in the upcoming year.

The Sun and Mercury both arrive on the 20^th. And what you are in the mood for is celebrating the new you that Pluto has been busy forging. Mars adds the heat to that glow-up when it arrives on the 23^rd. That series of options or sliding doors for you opens as all the planets entangle with Pluto. Venus on Jan 20^th, the Sun on the 21^st, Mercury 22^nd and the final and most powerful one of all – Mars on Jan 27^th. Look for ditching anything with low-vibration – and this includes people, and opting for a better choice. Making a commitment to self-improvement. Extending yourself beyond your self-imposed limits. Actively seeking healthy connections. Self-reliance, authenticity in your choices and autonomy. And being unafraid to enter the unknown. It’s heady, powerful and self-affirming. You become poetry in motion and let go of the past. Look to the full Moon in Leo (Feb 1) as to how this is now playing out with your connections.

The first of the two dates stop and slowdown is advisable is Feb 17 and the Annular Solar Eclipse. This new moon isn’t just the marker for the start of your fresh cycle. But also marks the start of the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse. But due to the eclipse, this is the new beginning that either isn’t what it seems or has not yet shown itself fully. That door may slide open, but you are advised to wait on the threshold to see if it remains so. And possibly to get a glimpse of what actually lies on the other side of it. You may see the hallway – but not what’s in the room as an Annular Solar Eclipse is one that produces that ‘Ring of Fire’ halo around the Sun we see in eclipse photos. So, you have a glimpse but not the bigger picture. Yet. This especially applies to any partnership matter or decision. Past, present or potential. Especially the latter. This is due to the Sun ruling Leo and your 7^th.

Saturn and Neptune in Aries: Inspiration meets Old School Rules

Wait until both Neptune (Jan 27) and Saturn (Feb 14), have moved into Aries and your 3^rd of ideas and information and have completed their cosmic download for you on Feb 20 when for the first time in our lifetimes, they meet in this sector of the sky. This will bring you all the facts or allow you to reality check when it comes to stepping across that portal. Or deciding to close it and opt for another one entirely.

Saturn is your ancient ruler. It’s about tradition and doing things ‘by the book’. Neptune rules your intuition, imagination and insight. The fusion of these two energies – which are very different, will either deliver the facts or hand you a very different yet very real take on things. This could be an idea you take forward which sets a new direction in motion for you. These two planets are meeting at 0^o Aries. The most powerful point of the zodiac. Why? Because 0^o Aries is the first degree of the first house in the 360^o zodiac wheel. The point of entry and birth. So, a new era is ushered in. But for you this involves keeping things very real, grounded and playing by the old school rules. You have to know what they are before you can re-write them, Aquarius!

Your ideas, projects, plans, business, writing, speaking, teaching, broadcasting, selling that online course, that podcast, your side hustle, store, site, feed may be the means by which you transact and interact with this new era. And expect the tools you use or which enable you to transmit your message to evolve and change in ways you cannot yet comprehend as on April 26, ruler Uranus exits Taurus for good and takes up its new role as head of event management in Gemini and your 5^th.

Uranus in Gemini: Show up!

Your ruler ushers in a revolution. And you are the child of it. Truth, beauty, freedom, love. Lush, loving and playful. Unexpected, surprising, sometimes shocking. Uranus is about to deliver people whom you will never forget. No matter the connection or the longevity. They are here to awaken you. And once you are – you won’t ever go back to sleep.

Friends and lovers, the meet-cute in person, your soul tribe or band of rapscallions, mavericks or mischief making. Who you hang out with, partner with, collaborate with. Those with whom you are effortlessly in sync, simpatico and aligned with. From two of a kind to the kind of people who change the world. Or just yours. It’s electric, heart-starting and varied. It may not last – but that’s not the point. This is about freeing your soul. Uranus tells you just show up, go with it and let go of where you think this will take you.

Unusual, very different and exciting people will cross your path. If you are single, expect to be smitten with someone very different to that usual ‘type’ or who comes from a very different background or social group than your own.

Children may feature. And a note for singles who do not want to become parents – take extra care with contraception. Uranus rules the unexpected – as in the unplanned pregnancy. If you do become a parent at this time, be prepared for a highly individual child who may have qualities that have you scratching your head and wondering just who they inherited them from? Love them for their unique qualities and know that being a parent isn’t about creating a clone of yourselves. But someone whose potential you can nurture. And who you can show that allowing someone to be authentic is the ultimate way to show your love.

This also applies to you. This is the house where you should dance like no one is watching. To stop worrying about what others will think of you. To show up and express yourself and to know the only person’s permission you need is yours. After all, you’ve been working away at becoming someone new!

This is your house of pleasure trips and holidays. Expect to travel to somewhere different. Or to grab that Go Bag for a last minute trip. Perhaps with that lover or friends. But many of you will embrace solo travel now if you have not already done so. Even those of you who are settled. Especially if your other half cannot get away or the destination you have in mind doesn’t grab them like it does you. Not everyone may want to take a road trip down the UFO highway or visit those Dark Tourist sites. The pesky eclipse dates are ones when you should avoid travel or booking a holiday if you can.

Wins, lucky breaks and attention could also happen. Especially around any creative endeavours. Again, all you have to do is show up under this transit. Expect the unexpected. And when it appears – go with it.

Jupiter in Leo: The Real Summer of Love

From hot in the city to sex on the beach! Here comes the Summer of Love. Get ready for pride, recognition, achievement, praise, accolades – served with a touch of stardom and adoration thrown in for good measure. Within 3-6 months of Jupiter’s arrival in Leo and your 7^th – which happens on June 30, the Summer of Love will be in full swing for you. Especially when it comes to you being the focus of love and all of the above, in some way.

This isn’t just one hot summer however. This is a 12 month love-fest. A year long relationship Coachella experience. Single? Angles between Jupiter and Uranus in your 5^th should deliver more than one playmate or contender for your heart. Settleds could revive the days of first heady love. But the Jupiter/Uranus two-fer in here won’t keep anything going that is headed off the rails. Keep in mind both planets want your freedom. And both want you to have new experiences. If your connection has been lived out, it will now completely derail. Possibly quite shockingly and suddenly. If you do decide to call it quits, Jupiter makes it easier to part amicably. And because all your houses of attraction are lit in ways you have never experienced before, that glowing light is sure to attract in someone new.

Embody love in any way you can. Possibly in a Haight-Ashbury, boho way which captures the essence of the original Summer of Love in ‘67. Love is a festival for you. Without the mud. So dress for it.The more you feel it, the more you generate or attract. This also applies to business and working unions, that collaborator or that potential one. Hence the list I gave you at the start of this section. Many Aquarius may see huge growth and opportunities across both their personal lives and their professional one.

Again, we are back in eclipse weather with the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo on Aug 12. This is a total eclipse of the heart. A complete cover up or black-out. You are totally in the dark. Best eclipse movie to watch? Bandits starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett. Especially if you like your rom-coms with an Uranian twist.

Outlaw love aside, avoid getting in or out of any long term relationship under this eclipse. And again – try not to travel. The full Moon in your sign (Jul 29) is your point when you launch yourself into the full light of summer. It’s a full on love trance-fest. Chances are, you won’t be moondancing alone.

North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo

Love karma is coming full circle. Destiny also dances with you this year as the Nodes switch signs just before the full Moon in your 1^st on July 27. That show up advice for Uranus in Gemini along with the heady free-flowing vibe of Jupiter in your 7^th means you can simply let go and allow destiny to deliver. This includes letting go of your past relationship history. Or ideas which block love. Such as ‘It never works out for me – and never will’. ‘People will always let you down’. ‘There are no good ones out there’. ‘It’s too late’. This is not just about you creating an energy field which blocks love, but you simply getting out of your own way, Aquarius. It’s okay to be vulnerable. Because you now have Pluto on side telling you that it is okay to be strong as well.

No matter what your past relationship history looks like – the switch of the Nodes throws a switch. And fate slides open yet another door for you. One that leads to brand new karma on the other side. A word of advice: do let go of old and very outdated ideas around ‘soulmates’. For one thing, we have many many ‘soulmates’. They do not always come packaged as romantic partners. A soulmate can be a family member, a child, a friend, a boss or mentor, a teacher or even an animal. Yes, you most probably do share a past life or karma. That’s the love you made with this ‘soul’ – emphasis on the soul, over lifetimes.

We can create new love karma and make those kinds of connections with souls we have never encountered before. That’s the magic of it all. We can meet someone we have literally never met ever, fall in love with them, marry, have children and grow old together. That’s freshly minted karma. For you and for them. So, go forth soulmate cliché free, Aquarius. You’ll be open to so much more good love and karma if you do.

Last but not least – the final two lunar eclipses across the old nodal axis – a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and your 8^th on March 3 and a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and your 2^nd on Aug 28 are designed to slam a door closed or remove the blinders around a situation. They close off the Saturn/Neptune cycle in Pisces for good. And also stop you from continuing to direct anything from your energy, love or other resources into something which drains or diminishes you. This may involve a slow reveal between one eclipse and the next. Of even a slow withdrawal from a situation. If this happens, you will feel an almost instant ‘bounce back’ as the energy you were pumping into this returns to you. Now you know where to send in – into that hot endless summer you’ve living – and loving in ‘26.

In a nutshell: Welcome to your hot zone, Aquarius. From Jupiter’s Summer of Love in Leo and ruler Uranus electrifying your house of romance and attraction, the hottest year unfolds. With you simply on fire in ‘26!
