Uranus in Taurus is now over. Watch this free video at The Astrology and Tarot Show to see how your money is affected and why May and June bring closure.
Other people’s involvement in your money, property situation and business interests will also make you aware of the gaps between your values and those of a relative or partner. Do you know how to manage it? Is your radar good enough to detect potential issues before they happen? It’s a good time to be a realist. Happily, though, most people going through this cycle get past the compromise or deal (brewing since March 2026) and are smart enough to use their new position to achieve something priceless – as in priceless for everyone. The point at which others’ cash, home, possessions or other resources asks you to make more personal, emotional or spiritual calculations is the point at which you need to use your newfound certainty. That means taking the larger picture into account. But also promising yourself that – now that you’re living with a far more predictable and unchanging set of numbers – you’ll start living a life which honours all the priceless aspects of life too. There are some things which go far beyond numbers.

In this Jupiter in Cancer cycle, you will experience rare, big opportunities and solutions through travel, relocation (for work or home reasons), study, teaching, foreigners, publishing and the world of the web in translation. That’s quite a mixed bag. But it covers every situation, place and person which expands your horizons – geographical or intellectual. Look at a June 30th, 2026, as the final deadline for luck and make sure that you travel or just travel in the mind. Either way, the biggest new beginnings will come when you are on the move or drawing people and plans into your life which promise to fill out your understanding and knowledge of the world. Often, these people will be foreign or from a radically different cultural or religious background. The plans may also involve you with ideas, subjects or places which are foreign to you. Increase your optimism and seek the greatest.

Each critical moment you experience with travel, relocation, study, publishing and foreigners on this Pluto cycle will ask you to reject the old game of life you were playing and search harder for who you really are from your core to your shell. Let the old set-up, the old rules and roles disappear. In time, it will seem irrelevant except as a learning experience. What is far more important is that you set a new foreign agenda and play a new multicultural game, preferably using your whole, authentic self rather than the version of it that you were relying on before.
Your journeys, your studies, your new environments, your ventures into publishing (the internet is included in this) and your exploration of what and who you find foreign is central to 2026. In fact, you may find yourself at the peak of your influence and at the height of your powers if you can harness your willpower. Maybe the smartest thing you can do is change the agenda while you still have so much clout. The time has come to focus intensely on people, places or plans which empower you. That may take some self-analysis. But it’s now or never. Be who you really are, Gemini.

Your ambitions, your ideas about success and your mission in life will trigger a journey of deep soul-searching now and result in dramatic changes in your path. A complete change of position, status or employment is possible by 2027. So, is a new place in the world which gives you an escape from the everyday or normal. Cancer, for the first time in your life you have Saturn, Chiron and Neptune all in Aries at various points of the year. You are being offered one role and goal with three very different aspects or, perhaps, two or three spaces for achievement which contradict each other. Juggling this is important. How can you plunge into an alternative version of reality without losing your anchor and confusing the boundaries? How can you accept a waiting game without feeling that this test of your patience is too heavy? How can you see what it is possible to get away with without being such a maverick that you are too far out on a limb?

This Pluto cycle will give you some intense times when you are asked to accept how powerful or utterly powerless you have become in the particular game of partnership (or even enemies) that you have been playing. Leo, you’re going to have to dig deeper inside yourself and, perhaps, change course if you don’t feel that you have the clout, the influence and the strength. If, on the other hand, you have harnessed your self-control and willpower with a certain person, it may now be that you are one half of a dynamic duo.
Life and other people can seem utterly superficial now as Pluto sends the message that there is more to you than other people’s perceptions of you or the old game you have been playing with partners or enemies. Do 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. Yet, if you work at it, your other half (or your scorecard with the other side) will hand you the reins for years into the future.

When it comes to duty, service, your workload and your wellbeing (all Virgo concerns), your power and influence can be a lifetime guarantee of success or soul satisfaction after you make those superhuman efforts required over a long period. It seems you must now dig deeper and begin a new game with a new role which suits who you are beneath the surface. You will need time and space to go inside yourself at this time to start the search. By 2027 and 2028, when Jupiter in Virgo moves through your natal Sixth House, you will be given a rare chance to expand and grow based on your own definition of success. For you, that could mean serving others with meticulous attention to detail. Being indispensable. It could also mean having the vitality, good mental and physical health and fitness to be a true winner. All of this is now up for debate and a few overdue decisions.

Perhaps, July and August 2026 are already in your diary, Libra. But you are set for a rare 12 months of bigger and better friendships and group involvements. The new friends you make will benefit you enormously. As Jupiter in Leo is about increase, your social media followers may also go up if you take the opportunities. Libra, your new life which begins in July will allow you to set a totally new social agenda and your involvement with any kind of group will do a better job of serving who you actually are. The groups you are involved with until mid-2027 may change, but the message remains the same. No matter if it’s a circle of friends, a rock band, a book group, a charity, a yoga class, a management committee, a professional association, a political party or support group, the Jupiter Effect suggests long overdue improvements. This cycle does not only concern you with the wider group, it’s also about one-on-one friendships. The game of friendship you were playing before may seem rather small by 2027, Libra. This situation will be set up this week.

A different kind of friendship and different group involvements after July 2026 will give you just the kind of role you need – preferably one which respects every last part of your personality, soul, history and needs. You are currently completing old karma with friends and groups based on life as it was 18-19 years ago. It is through or with your friends and group commitments that you will also hit repetition now. One specific person or network could be your key to a revolving door. So, what will you do with it? How about taking that rather repetitive position that you find yourself in and working to get what you really want after July? You’ll still have to play the game (other people’s game), of course. But right now, you have an unusual opportunity to introduce your own agenda in a different way. As you cannot change what friends or others in the group say and do, you must change your own attitude. And that may even mean changing your personality, Scorpio.

Partnerships are in focus again. If what you’ve been up to does not truly serve who you are, then Uranus in Gemini will firmly change or remove it. This will not be easy. After all, you’ve had your reasons for being attached to this situation and you probably thought that if you could win the partnership game you were playing, you’d get the kind of result you expected. Uranus in Gemini is a disrupter, however, and it tends to hide a set-up inside an upset. What’s the set-up? Well, it’s about your own and his (or her) freedom and independence. The partnership may be personal, platonic or professional. Do treat 2026 an excuse to find out who you are when you’re not playing that old game. Once you know, relaunch what you two have if you believe it is worth preserving. What on earth is the point of being who you’re not, though, if you are denied freedom or it means fencing your partner in?

Power is money in 2026. And lack of money requires willpower so you can become empowered again. As your current position rests on the fact that you’ve been trading on certain aspects of yourself, you may want to start by bringing all of you into the picture. Only you can judge just how ready the world is to welcome you and your life budget now. But as that’s the only way you’re going to feel genuinely in control of your life and the numbers, it may be worth a try. Just make sure that the all-of-me thing benefits other people too – no matter if it’s business, charity, the bank, real estate or a more personal way of calculating the numbers. That way, your newfound power has the best possible chance of lasting. Perhaps, July and August are already in your diary, but you stand to make or save a lot of money from that point if you take the solutions and opportunities, Capricorn.

Pluto is still moving through Aquarius so the same old issues about your reputation and public profile will be on your agenda at this time. Do lean hard on previous experience which has shown you that real clout and influence come from using your self-control. Proper empowerment comes from using willpower. This Pluto transit through your First House is rare but it runs deep. If you also have Aries birth chart factors, double that message.
The First House rules your appearance (everything from your hair to your shoes), so all the issues you face in connection with this will seem familiar now. You’ve been around – and around – with these questions before. Not surprisingly, you’ll feel a wonderful detachment about what’s going on. The First House always concerns you with what you see in the mirror. It is also very much about your reputation. The labels that are put on you, Aquarius. No matter if you are promoting yourself through your business, booking cosmetic surgery or dealing with the public eye, this long transit is about self-discipline which really strengthens you.

As you know, partnerships are on rewind. The cycle stops in July 2026. The South Node in Virgo in your chart is in the Seventh House while the North Node is in the First House which is causing the ‘stuck’ feeling about a certain someone. The partnership can be professional, platonic or personal. The South Node’s influence on your marriage, partnership, disputes, dating strategy or ex relationships will probably remind you of unfinished business from 18-19 years ago – either with the same person or another partner. Even though you’ll feel as if you’re watching life press the rewind button, you’ll feel wonderfully detached about all those endless Groundhog Day moments if you realise the whole point of the cycle is for you to sign off from karma in July. You are owed or you owe. Until then, you will feel as if you’re stuck on a merry go round – but you now have privileged wisdom to draw on. The insights you have about changing your attitude will allow you to make some unusually smart decisions. You should feel utterly calm and confident about the person you are becoming.
