If you wake up and find yourself with the controls in life with your friends, use them to navigate two simultaneous journeys. One can be yours and the other can be theirs. One can reflect who you really are and what you’re really made of and the other can fit a compromise over control. This can lead to a complicated life, but it can also give you real power and empower them too. It means you’ll work with your soul and your understanding of clout. Influence. Perhaps, the art of deal-making.

Uranus is in Taurus in your image zone until April 2026. So, what was so valuable or worthwhile about your profile or appearance before is so superficial in the grand scheme of things that you have no guarantees that you’ll stick with it. You need to be free now. You are gaining from the profile game you are playing with others now. But you are also giving your freedom away if you’re ‘making it’ in image terms only for others. To trade on the real you – your soul, your spirit, your inner contradictions, your secret complexities, your hidden assets – is tricky when the external person is changing all the time. Yet, you are right to try.

You gain from Jupiter now. This means an inward search for what’s genuinely valuable. Priceless qualities. Precious ethics. Valuable skills. It’s irrelevant if you win enormously or just a little with the money, house, apartment, garden, land, shopping, saving, business or lifestyle game in these next weeks until June 30th, 2026. In all cases, it’s an excellent time to ask yourself what you value most. The bits and pieces of yourself which you think of as real profit now require attention. It’s where your buried treasure is. Once you uncover it, you will be in a great position to know yourself, set your terms and create your world according to your own value system – never mind other people’s.

The situation you face with money or real estate now will either give you all the influence, all the control and all the power or it will apparently take these away from you, either partly or even wholly. However, what is seen on the surface now – no matter if it looks empowering or not – is never the real story. You’ll find this out for yourself once you give up on what is really just a shallow financial, business, charity or property story in your life and dig deeper. After all, who wants to play a part in what is essentially a lightweight movie? Pluto’s purpose at this time is to get you to play a very different kind of game. That way lies real empowerment.

When it comes to your role and goals, your position, your mission and ambition, you have everything to gain by changing. Try freedom for a start. Find your own way to Independence Day now. The changes you make or accept will also compel you to make changes in yourself in terms of your status, achievements, talents, skills and in your life in these last few months of Uranus in Taurus. Never mind the C.V., the shift that takes place now will be spiritual and psychological. Even a brief professional, academic or vocational U-turn could send you on a liberating mission!

It is no exaggeration to state that this Pluto in Aquarius cycle will do more to permanently transform the state of play within your daily routine than any other in your life. So, get ready. You’re about to be pulled out of the shallow end. Again. This is about your work ethic, lifestyle, physical and mental health and service to others. Even the dog and cat. Transformation is slow, deep and steady. So much for the old rules and roles. When Pluto comes along, you will find yourself dealing with a situation which feels like the end as well as the beginning. Virgo, you may feel as if you can never go back. When this happens, promise yourself you will find out who you actually are and who you probably always were.

The bedroom, courtship, babies, children, teenagers and a younger generation is in focus with Pluto. In all these cases and more, though, learn to use the reins wisely. You can get an awful lot of what you want now. So why not pursue an agenda which reflects who you actually are when you’re not being the other person in this game? Why not live a deeper, more interesting life which ends up empowering everybody?
Your relationship with the world of babies and children will go through a deep transformation during this cycle. Your son or daughter may move from childhood to adolescence or adolescence to adulthood at this time which is one obvious cause of big change. Another possibility? You will deal with the realities of pregnancy, adoption or IVF treatments and find that your old attitudes and expectations fall away to be replaced by a new outlook. And, of course, this transit can be about an adult son or daughter.

Pluto is in Aquarius in your family zone. What you had and what you did was only using a fraction of your real, authentic self. So, use this period to find out who you truly are with relatives, then set yourself a different course – one which truly empowers you.
Pluto will also trigger a few new beginnings and simultaneous final chapters. A partnership may go through dramatic phases (start – stop – start – stop) at this time. Or you may go from one family choice to another. The emotions will be intense on this transit. The effect you’re having on those around you is quite remarkable. But Pluto says, “Don’t treat your influence lightly.”

It’s possible you will experience Independence Day several times until April 2026 in terms of your health, fitness or mental health now. What didn’t work out for you or even who didn’t work out for you is not important. What matters is your ability to discover what it is about yourself physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually that’s actually liberating. This can trigger a necessary and long overdue voyage of discovery about your own space and autonomy. Your old lifestyle and your old physical or mental self may seem rather old to you once you have begun this voyage again.

This fortunate Jupiter cycle is all about your marriage, relationship, former partner or current/ex work or business partner. It is also about anyone who is against you – an opponent, rival or enemy. The effects are the same no matter if you are madly in love, getting married, divorcing, dealing with bereavement or managing a feud. Jupiter’s challenge to you now is to dig deeply for opportunities, solutions, hope, growth and expansion. You’ll do this by June 30th, 2026, because of an ending (a departure or other dramatic change) or a beginning (a new relationship or a new level of commitment). Other variations on this theme include a dramatic shift in the dynamic of your relationship or marriage which opens everything up. Big!

As we go into 2026 with the Sun in Aquarius in opposition to the Moon in Leo, you may have your eyes on July/August in terms of a certain person. You’ll win later. You’ll reach a point in your partnerships (or even in your battle with an enemy) where you are the opportunist and the optimist who succeeded. You may wake up to find yourself one half of a really big couple. You may microwave your opponents and gain from a weak enemy. You may score the kind of points in your partnership which put you in pole position. The partnerships to come may be personal, platonic or professional. This may be an existing duet which grows. Or, Aquarius, somebody new may enter or re-enter your life.

This cycle will dramatically change the amount of escape slides you have in terms of money, property, business interests and your assets and possessions. It’s rather like an escape slide into some Disney river. The escapism will come as a result of new turning points involving a second income source, loan or a rewarding option which is not money but translates into that. Expect some new chapters which alter everything forever. And expect some amazing breakthroughs too – the realisation that although you are stuck with a waiting game and test of patience (Saturn), you also have a way out (Neptune).
