Gemini
21 May - 21 June, 2026
Exchange can feel light now - just give it a try. As the sun moves into Gemini, a softer and more curious energy arrives. A lightness that allows us to see the world again through the eyes of a child. To try things without needing a fixed outcome.
This is a time to reach outward, to discover something new and to look differently at what already exists. New hobbies, unfamiliar places, fresh connections. During Gemini season, spontaneity becomes the key. And right at the beginning, this restless energy meets Uranus and its sudden shifts. Where this landing takes us remains unpredictable.

Taurus
20 April to 21 May, 2026
What Aries has ignited with fire now wants to be grounded by Taurus. Taurus stands for values, self-worth, and our connection to nature, which we can fully enjoy in its vitality in the midst of spring. Now is the time to consciously assess energy and resources and align expectations accordingly.
In everyday life, this means: eating well, getting enough sleep, keeping an eye on expenses, and making sustainable decisions. This is how plans are built on a stable foundation. From Taurus, we can learn to lean back, enjoy, and take care of our bodies in order to remain strong and grounded. Time for a pause and the realistic questions: What’s expected? What do you need to meet those expectations? And are the necessary resources available?

Aries
21 March - 20 April 2026
Aries represents beginnings, new starts, and assertion. With it, a new astrological cycle begins. Through the transformation of its fire, it marks a zero point where the old finally falls away and new ground is created. After winter and the time of eclipses, the Aries season can serve as a reminder of one’s own strength, self-determination, and inner fire. It brings the energy to look forward again. With the life force it embodies, the things we begin now have cosmic tailwind to grow over the course of the cycle.
The Aries new moon on April 17 is a second chance for New Year’s resolutions. What will you choose this time - truly? And what within you already knows that it is meant to be greater?

Pisces
19 February – 20 March 2026
Arrived at the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces, we move from individuality into oneness. The lessons of the zodiac have been completed. Pisces reminds us that we are part of something greater. The boundaries between inner and outer begin to dissolve. No other sign stands so clearly for spirituality, connection and deep compassion. It shows us that everything is interconnected. That our thoughts, feelings and actions extend beyond ourselves and form part of a larger whole.
Perhaps we now perceive a new world. One in which we become aware that everything we believed to be knowledge was, in truth, belief. To recognize this also means to feel. To loosen control. To trust that we are held and to surrender to the flow of life. Let the cold and rigidity of winter melt within you, so that vitality, lightness and love may flow freely once more.

Aquarius
21 January – 19 February, 2026
Under the sign of Aquarius, courage comes to the forefront - the courage to follow your own sense of purpose. This time awakens the parts of ourselves we may have labelled as “outside the norm” and perhaps kept hidden until now. After the grounding energy of Capricorn, the focus shifts beyond the personal, opening toward new ideas, free thinking, and a future shaped by inclusion. We are reminded that our uniqueness is an essential part of the whole.
With the New Moon in Aquarius on February 17, you are invited to explore your own way of living. A new beginning that encourages you to question limitations and consciously make space for your authenticity and ideas. Take a moment to pause and sense: where are you called to be more fully yourself? And which idea is ready to grow now?
