Aries in 2026

Identity, Healing & Community

2026 is a transformational year for Aries. With Neptune and Saturn anchoring in your sign, Uranus electrifying Gemini, and the nodal axis shifting into Aquarius/Leo, the cosmos is asking you to redefine yourself, heal old wounds, and step into authentic community.

This year is about integration: who you are (Neptune + Saturn in Aries), how you heal (Chiron weaving between Aries and Taurus), how you connect (Uranus in Gemini), and how you contribute (Aquarius/Leo nodal axis). The eclipses punctuate this journey, bringing moments of release and renewal across health, creativity, spirituality, and relationships.

For Aries, 2026 is not just about personal growth — it’s about embodying authenticity while finding your place in the collective. Let’s walk through the year, month by month.
