2026 is presented as a year of transition, a turning point between what humanity was and what it is destined to become. This is what astrologer and tarot reader Lourdes Ferro says: “It is the beginning of a new spiritual, social and creative cyclewhere the fire of the sign Aries, archetype of beginning and courage, rekindles history.”
In dialogue with Clarionthe author of Astrological Guide 2026 (Planeta) points out: “The most important thing to understand about these years – 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 – is that they no longer function as before. Previously, we were used to the energy transition in December and in 2027 New Year It started with a different vibration, but that didn’t happen anymore.”
According to the specialist The energy that will characterize 2026 was noticeable from the second half of 2025. “That’s why I say we’re like in a capsule: on one side the calendar years pass and on the other the energy years. The first seven months of 2026 will have a very similar intent to the last six months of 2025.”
Based on the planetary transits that will activate the energy of 2026, Ferro defines three key points to guide the year.
Neptune’s entry into Aries on January 26th and Saturn’s entry into the same sign on February 13th set the tone for 2026. The astrologer explains that this combination opens an era in which The inspiring ceases to be just an idea and begins to require concrete action..
Neptune in Aries brings vision, a deep desire for change, and renewed inner motivations, while Saturn in Aries calls for structure, responsibility, and results. This duo redefines what it means to start something: it’s not enough to be excited, but The momentum must be maintained through a plan.
On a personal level, it can feel like an urge to start projects or make postponed decisions, even though the year more than rewards perseverance impulsiveness. At the collective level, Ferro expects the emergence of more direct, breakthrough leadership that requires coherence and where ideas are translated into actions whose impact is measurable.
The second axis of the year is marked by the movements of Uranus and Chiron. Uranus goes direct into Taurus on February 3rd and enters Gemini weeks later on April 25th.
This describes two successive changes: first Material transformation is accelerating -Economy, working methods, resources, production models- and then mental and technological change accelerateswith new tools, more information circulation and higher speed.
In the middle of the year, on June 19th, Chiron Enter Taurus and deepen the focus on values, the body, resources and merit. According to Ferro, these are transit forces Check the relationship to the topic: money, stability, the body, pleasure, security, revealing which forms of support were fragile and which were real.
The third axis is not dictated by a specific planet, but by the pulse of the year. The year 2026 will have two clearly differentiated rhythms. The first half will be marked by direct moves and strong entries, including Neptune and Saturn’s transit into Aries, Uranus’ entry into Gemini, and Jupiter’s direct transit between Cancer and Leo. It is a Initial, expansion and decision phase.
On the other hand, the second semester initiates a process Revision: Neptune retrograde in Aries from July 7th, Saturn retrograde from July 26th, Chiron from August 3rd, Uranus retrograde in Gemini from September 10th and Jupiter retrograde in Leo on December 12th before Neptune and Saturn go direct again towards the end of the year. This makes 2026 a non-linear year: First you are asked to act and then you have to adapt.
Projects that are started without a solid foundation will tend to fail, whereas projects that are clearly conceived will grow stronger. The second semester will be an opportune time to edit, organize, redefine goals, renegotiate agreements, and keep only what is truly worthwhile.
