The Year Ahead for Aquarius
Early 2026 hums along with the status quo until your ruler Uranus shifts signs on April 25, trines your first house, and begins its transit in your house of pleasure and imagination. It squares the nodal axis during mid-June, challenging you to express yourself more authentically.
Pluto in your sign aligns with passionate Mars, individualistic Uranus, and mystical Neptune on July 3. A bolt of positive energy, with effects that could last many years, inspires you to reach for truer self-definition, leading to effective action. You’ll end 2026 as a more authentic version of yourself, thanks to the forceful outer planets aligning supportively with your first house during the second half of this year.
What Aquarius Can Look Forward to in 2026
- When Jupiter joins the group of outer planets aligning with you on July 19, followed by the sun on July 28, the good times keep rolling through August and beyond! Though these are joyful, supportive energies, they are not merely good-time buddies. They will influence and inspire you in important ways, bringing realization and clarity about your purpose, your life path, and how your vision can enrich the world. Could this be the true start of the age of Aquarius?
What Aquarius Should Watch Out for in 2026
- An opposition to your sun sign from Mars in late September through late November could have you feeling electrified, but also feisty and contentious. Harness this energy and let it blend with more skillful attitudes and methods.
- When Mars and Jupiter travel closely in orb from November 8-25, guard against arrogance or aggressiveness. Let tactful Venus, trining your sign, lead the way in communications.
Love Predictions for Aquarius in 2026
- Venus in your house of pleasure and romance from April 23 through May 18 sextiles Mars in passionate Aries from May 8-18. This adds emotional intensity to springtime encounters.
- Venus in your seventh house strengthens love and connection from June 13-July 8. On or around June 17, when Venus sextiles Uranus and trines Neptune, you could recapture the original thrill and excitement with a current partner.
Career Predictions for Aquarius in 2026
- This is a time of initiation and change, as Pluto continues its transit in your house of self-identity and receives supportive aspects from the outer planets. You may repackage your skills to match the path that your deeper self is urging you to take.
- Mystical Neptune in your communication zone and Uranus in your house of creativity can help turn your day-to-day work into a meaningful life path grounded in your karmic purpose. The pivot-point for this is likely to be late July through early August, when Jupiter and the transiting sun support the outer planets already aspecting your sign.
Important Dates for Aquarius in 2026
- May 16-17: The moon enters your house of romance and shortly after conjuncts your ruler, Uranus. It then sextiles dreamy Neptune and trines passionate Pluto, spotlighting a steamy couple of days.
- July 19: Pluto in your house of self-identity trines your ruler Uranus, sextiles Neptune, and opposes Jupiter. You capture a fleeting vision of who you are, where you’re going, and the essence of your unique gift to the world.
