Any group requires that you fit in with the game (other people’s game), of course. But right now, you have an unusual opportunity to hang onto the controls at the same time that you cunningly introduce your own agenda. If it’s an agenda that empowers those around you as well as yourself as you truly are, you might just find Pluto leaves you up there forever. You’ll be drawn into a way of life which means keeping secrets (very differently too) in this new end-game Pisces cycle. What you’re up to is spiritual, psychic and therapeutic. But one thing is sure, you’re not telling. Astrologers give up when they end game cycles through the Twelfth House. What on earth are you up to? But do sign off.

Ah, the famous Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. Your secret psychic, spiritual or psychological life will trigger more than one new beginning. If what you’ve been up to since January 26th, 2026, has delivered muddle, it’s time for boundaries. This will not be easy. After all, you’ve had your reasons for being attached to this rather new, wholly escapist situation. And you probably thought that if you could win the game of alternatives you were playing, you’d get the kind of release you need. Do treat this period as an excuse to find out who you actually are when alone. Once you know, relaunch a more private or solitary path. What you do behind the scenes, under wraps or in secret (with a confidante) is a waiting game and test of patience, Taurus. It does need a strategy.

Uranus in Taurus is liberating on the inside. It is what you do in confidence (say, with a therapist) or in your own time and space which will ultimately take you towards freedom. Despite the fact that nobody has a clue what you’re up to (or perhaps, because of it), you will find that you are left with so much more independence. As your current position rests on the fact that you’ve been trading on certain hidden aspects of yourself (while burying or forgetting others), you may want to start by bringing all of you into the picture after April 2026 when the transit ends. For the moment, though, liberation from (insert word) or through (insert word) is here.

Foreign and foreigners bring karma again with a new slant. 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. There is classically a ‘been there, done that’ feeling about the North Node. And right now, you’ll feel it in connection with anything from Europeans to Asians because the Ninth House always concerns you with other cultures. You will have a lot of wisdom and experience to draw on now, but the cycle stops in July 2026. For now, two chapters just concluded.

This power and control issue happening with your partner, ex-partner, date or opponent at this time is typical of Pluto. The Pluto transit is in the Seventh House and so the influence on your marriage, partnership, disputes, dating strategy or other relationship (a professional duet or a platonic duo) will probably make self-control your watch word. Even though you’ll feel as if you’re watching life press the rewind button as you have come across these questions about being taken over/pushing back before, you’ll feel wonderfully detached if you realise that Pluto is basically weight training for your brain. It’s a soul gym.

Here’s an interesting thing about the South Node in the First House – if you have your first portrait painted now or even if you appear on TV for the first time or have your first studio photograph taken, you’ll feel oddly centred about it all. That’s because you’re ‘remembering’ something from 18-19 years ago, Virgo. Who knows – it may have been The Daily Mail and your name or face. This cycle ends in the final week of July 2026. Until then, you are owed or you owe from the past. That is why life repeats where your image, name, look or reputation is concerned. Closure comes slowly, but it will come.

Since 2018, Uranus has delivered shocks with your investments, pension, superannuation, joint bank account, legacies, wills, money, shopping, buying, selling, investing and borrowing. That’s the ‘overly familiar’ part of this cycle. Every shock has turned the world upside-down and set you free. It has liberated you. The oddly familiar part is the strong sense of déjà vu that accompanies certain financial truths now. Until April 2026, you are still in this cycle. In any case, you will be amazed at how experienced you feel about what is unfolding – almost as if you have seen it all before. Well, according to astrology, you have. Even when there is ‘new, different, new, different,’ you know the score. A revolution sets you free and you can’t put a price on independence.

Depending on your own personal situation, you’ll either take a final spin on the karmic wheel with someone else (younger) in the family or they’ll take one with you. It can happen professionally, too. So, you may be child-free but teach a class. Most commonly, this transit is about your son, daughter, grandchildren or godchildren. The karma ends in the final week of July 2026, Scorpio. You may well feel as if you’re spinning around like a record. But it won’t necessarily feel so challenging as it did last year. Every revolution of the wheel with your child, say, will remind you of how much experience and wisdom you can bring to the situation. You may even feel as if you have your PhD in this stuff.

Pluto in Aquarius in your zone of brothers, sisters, cousins and neighbours is familiar now – as if you have ‘been there, done that’ and made the film. What was the script? Was it about control? This, in turn, can bring you a chance to reflect, ponder and make your next move. You can handle sibling issues (say) like an expert at this time. You know that control comes from self-control.
This cycle also rules short trips. Don’t be surprised if you keep going back (and back) to one particular destination in these years. Again, it is about learning control or how to handle controls. It might be your far, short-haul flights and the whole business of summer holidays on a yacht.

Your astrology says you have past-life knowledge to bring to the internet or media situation. You can bring intuitive knowledge and practical experience to almost any situation which involves being heard or read. Communication (the written and spoken word) are extremely important areas for you to develop now. Old experiences as a writer, linguist, scribe, broadcaster, speechwriter or orator could surface – giving you unusual calm and confidence even in situations which are new to you. Think back 18-19 years and see what was going on. Fate will also hand you the same communication task several times over, but it should feel easier now. Any media or fundamental communication issues will make you feel as if you’re watching life on rewind by the way, but that should also enable you to manage things philosophically.
Patience will give you a solid grounding in terms of the family which will help you find a strong emotional platform to work from so that you can handle those issues about waiting…and waiting. The Fourth House where we now find a rare Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries also rules your house, flat or any temporary accommodation and, on a wider level, it also rules your homeland, real estate and hometown. Take a deep breath and listen to your inner voice as you’ll have some fascinating insights when you remember you’re ruled by Saturn. You know how to wait. And yet now, you also have an escape route.

The extended family circle and household continue to change. On a more mundane note, the domestic, decoration, renovation and DIY situations you experience in these last months of Uranus in Taurus until April 2026 will make you feel as if you’re being offered even more space or autonomy. Freedom breaks through with any home-based situation even if it’s either a repeat of what you went through since 2018 or it’s a repeat of what you know from last year, specifically. When that building work starts or when that flatmate moves in, you may even have feel that you know the end of the story. Independence Days, plural.

The Virgo node transit rolls on until July 2026. You’ll either hit extremely familiar scenarios with your partner (of any kind) or you’ll find it’s easier to be philosophical even downright calm, cool and collected about the déjà vu and repetition. The nodal cycle describes the process of watching life from a distance with the comfort of long experience or the help of wisdom gathered over many cycles. So, don’t be surprised if you have an automatic, intuitive sense about people and situations. Right now, the repetition asks you to change on the inside and you likely will.
