TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You may not be as flashy as some of your colleagues but your energy and charisma, plus a large dose of sheer bloody-mindedness, will make you a force to be reckoned with this year. Every day can be a good day but the 10-week period from April 20 to June 28 when the sun and Mars launch your self-belief to scary new heights will see you at your very best. While creative and professional rivals burn brightly for a week or a month before fizzling out, your star will shine from horizon to horizon the whole year long.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
The universe is about to drop some very big hints that you need to stop searching for meaning all over the place and look inside yourself for the answers. The lunar eclipses on March 3 and Aug. 28 will make it easy to ignore what others want you to be and instead become who you already are deep in your heart. Luck planet Jupiter’s change of signs at the end of June promises abundance on every level but what will thrill you the most is knowing you are no longer at the mercy of cravings you cannot control.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
The most exciting cosmic event of the year is without doubt the solar eclipse in your sign on Aug. 12.

You must not, however, ignore your obligations to those who depend on you and the Saturn-Neptune union on Feb. 20 will encourage you to put loved ones’ needs on the same level as your own. For someone of your magnanimous nature helping them will be a pleasure.

You will learn more this year than most people learn in a lifetime, not least because you are hungry for knowledge and the power it gives you to improve yourself.

You will be on the move and on the up-and-up this year as all the major planets advance through the most go-getting areas of your chart. Mars especially will put you in a buoyant mood, first in April then again in October and November, and you will be so much in demand socially that you may have to ration your public appearances. Longer journeys will beckon toward the end of the year and a yearning for faraway places could take you on the trip of a lifetime. In the end though it’s always great to come home again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
The solar eclipse in your sign on Feb. 17 coincides with the start of the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Horse, and that wonderful animal’s strength, character and intelligence should be the pattern you live by in 2026. Another cosmic factor working in your favour is that Uranus, your ruler and planet of changes, begins a lengthy stay in the most dynamic and creative area of your chart this year. From April onward you must forget about short-term fixes for both personal and professional issues and focus exclusively on long-term goals and gains.
