Navigating the Energies of 2026: What to Expect in the Year Ahead

As 2026 draws near, many are wondering what the new year will bring. While there is much to discuss—and much more to be revealed in the months ahead—the truth is that many of the themes we’ve been grappling with in 2025 will continue. However, within that continuity lies the potential for profound personal transformation.

A Continuing Reckoning in Society

In the year ahead, we will continue to witness the rise of political fascism in the United States and the ongoing dismantling of democratic systems. Corruption within government and among elected officials will remain an uncomfortable reality, forcing us as a collective to confront hard truths about who we are and who we have been as a society.

This, “great awakening,” is pushing us to stop turning a blind eye. It requires us to see clearly, acknowledge uncomfortable realities, and reassess our role within a rapidly shifting world.

Shifting Elemental Energies: From Earth and Water to Fire and Air

While the sociopolitical landscape remains, what will change in 2026 is you.

The energies governing 2026 will look very different from those of 2025. This year has been shaped by the elements of Earth and Water:

* Earth seeks stability and security

* Water craves emotional safety and protection

What we’ve learned throughout 2025 is that the structures meant to keep us safe—our homes, our health, even our financial resources—are no longer as reliable as they once seemed. These safety nets have proven unsustainable, leaving many feeling exposed and uncertain.

In 2026, the dominant elements will shift to Fire and Air, bringing with them a new kind of energy—one that emboldens action, vision, and innovation.

Charting a New Path Without a Rulebook

As we transition into these fire-and-air energies, many will feel more empowered to make changes rather than wait for external systems to stabilize. Longstanding templates—whether the U.S. Constitution or our personal belief systems—are losing relevance, dissolving under the weight of societal and personal evolution.

This leaves us in unfamiliar territory. The year ahead will involve:

* Charting new paths

* Letting go of outdated frameworks

* Embracing change even when it feels frightening

* Creating new structures in real time

Fire and Air ask us to envision the future, generate ideas, and take bold steps. While uncertainty will remain, these elements also offer excitement, inspiration, and a renewed sense of empowerment.

How 2026 Will Affect You Personally

Of course, the impact of these energies will manifest differently for everyone. Much depends on how the planets interact with your unique astrological birth chart.

Each year, I offer a New Year Astrological Forecast—a personalized reading that highlights the major themes you can expect over the next 12 months, along with a month-by-month overview of key influences and opportunities.

Scorpio New Moon: A Powerful Portal for Inner Work and Intentional New Beginnings

A transformative Scorpio New Moon will peak on November 19th, ushering in an energetic landscape that urges deep introspection, healing, and intentional manifestation. As with all new moons, this lunar event marks the beginning of a fresh cycle—yet in Scorpio, the energy takes on a uniquely intense and emotionally penetrating tone.

The Dark Moon: Fertile Ground for Seeds and Intentions

When the moon enters its new phase, it is dark—symbolizing rich, fertile soil. This is why new moons are ideal moments for:

* Setting intentions

* Reflecting on the energy you wish to cultivate

* Journaling on the dreams you’re ready to manifest

This Scorpio New Moon offers all of these opportunities, and embracing them can create profound shifts.

Why the Moon Feels Uncomfortable in Scorpio

The moon is naturally nurturing, grounding, and emotionally stabilizing. Scorpio, however, rules deep psychological waters, probing emotional terrain that can feel raw and uncomfortable.

Where the moon seeks soothing, Scorpio seeks truth—truth that often lies beneath layers of fear, pain, and unprocessed emotions. A perfect example of this was captured today by the U.S. Congress’ decision to release all of the Epstein files after years of bitter disputes that left victims isolated.

As we confront this country’s failure to protect our most vulnerable population - children and youth - victims will now be able to find peace and justice, moving forward with their lives.

It’s this kind of friction that creates a potent emotional atmosphere for release and a fresh start. The potential for meaningful new beginnings is high, but first the inner “pipes” may need unclogging.

Unclogging the Emotional Pipeline

To plant intentions that truly take root, this lunation asks that we address the roots themselves:

* Long-held fears

* Psychological blockages

* Emotional debts

* Old patterns or narratives

Without acknowledging what lurks beneath the soil, new seeds may struggle to grow.

Mercury Retrograde Re-Enters Scorpio

On the same day as the new moon, Mercury retrograde slips back from Sagittarius into Scorpio. Retrogrades always invite reviews, revisits, and realignment. In Scorpio, this means:

* Returning to the shadows of the psyche

* Examining subconscious material

* Identifying narratives that undermine growth

* Recognizing patterns that block manifestation

As we approach the end of 2025 and prepare for a new year, this work is not only timely—it is necessary.

Zodiac Guidance: What This New Moon Means for Your Sign

Here’s how this lunation will impact each Zodiac sign:

Aries & Aries Rising

You’re being asked to confront debts—emotional and financial. Address unresolved obligations and entanglements that keep you tied to situations you no longer wish to maintain.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Your relationships come under review. Whether family, spouse, partner, or close friend, examine the barriers preventing true intimacy and closeness.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

This is about your day-to-day habits, routines, and tasks. Identify distractions and refocus on what genuinely supports your well-being and quality of life.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Your inner child, creativity, and joy take center stage. Explore where fear or guardedness prevent you from fully experiencing happiness, love, and self-expression.

Leo & Leo Rising

Your emotional and physical home requires attention. Address any difficult family dynamics and nurture a sense of inner and outer sanctuary. Ancestral connection may offer guidance.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

This lunation highlights communication and mental health. Clear the blocks keeping you from speaking your truth and advocating for your needs. Examine environments that stifle your voice.

Libra & Libra Rising

Your self-worth and relationship with abundance come into focus. Release attachments and scarcity thinking that limit your prosperity and confidence.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

This new moon is yours—a cosmic rebirth. Shed outdated versions of yourself. Reinvent your identity, image, and energetic presence so you can step into your truth unapologetically.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Something internal is stirring—fear, anxiety, or spiritual disconnection. Reconnect with your inner divinity, purge hidden blockages, and cultivate trust in your intuition.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Your social circles and affiliations are shifting. Release groups or communities that no longer align with who you are becoming and seek spaces where you can grow with like-minded souls.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Your career and sense of purpose come under review. Identify what in your professional life undervalues you and consider course corrections aligned with your true vocational path.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

This new moon invites you to dream boldly. Review limiting beliefs that keep you from betting on yourself. Strengthen your faith—your aspirations are awaiting your commitment.

A Call to Face the Shadow with Love

As the new moon energy peaks and gradually wanes, the coming days offer powerful support for shadow work. This is a time to:

* Confront personal “boogeymen”

* Extend compassion to your unhealed parts

* Bring softness to the places you’ve hardened

* Show yourself grace

This Scorpio New Moon is not simply about beginnings—it’s about beginning from hard truths. Transmuting pain into light. By doing the necessary internal work, your intentions are far more likely to blossom into tangible, aligned manifestations.

Final Blessing

The promise of this new moon lies in the transformation that comes from courageously tending to your inner world. Do the work, and the universe will meet you with evolution, clarity, and renewal.

New Moon Blessings. 🌑✨

Jupiter’s Retrograde in Cancer: A Cosmic Call to Reroute, Rebuild, and Rise

As Jupiter stations retrograde in the sign of Cancer, it’s time to revisit what this monumental transit has been teaching us—and what it will continue to shape in our collective lives. At the very beginning of this pivotal year, I noted that Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer—timed almost exactly with the summer solstice in June—would mark a major cosmic shift. Nearly a year later, the significance of that transition is unmistakably clear.

Jupiter in Cancer: Expansion Meets the Matriarch

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has long been known for its magnifying power. It expands whatever it touches—our hopes, our visions, our beliefs, our politics. Cancer, by contrast, is the Zodiac’s most nurturing sign, embodying emotional labor, protection, domesticity, and the sacred work of holding families and communities together.

I often describe Cancer as the “Matriarch of the Zodiac.” And it feels profoundly fitting that as patriarchal systems continue to crack and crumble, Jupiter has been spending an entire year amplifying the qualities of nourishment, care, and compassion. If ever there were a time for a cosmic push toward prioritizing people over power, this is it.

A Retrograde Begins: November 12, 2025 – March 2026

On November 12th, Jupiter—the planet of abundance, excess, luck, and prosperity—stations retrograde, where it will remain through March of 2026. Retrogrades invite reflection, revision, and reassessment, and Jupiter’s retrograde is no exception. This planet connects us to our biggest dreams, our guiding principles, our worldviews, our spiritual truths, our political ideologies, and our sense of humanity.

While Mercury retrograde tends to get the most attention, every planet retrogrades. When they do, the energy they symbolize slows down, turns inward, and prompts us to pause and reroute. Jupiter’s six-month retrograde offers us a moment to step back from rapid expansion, and instead, reflect on what that expansion has revealed.

Themes of Jupiter in Cancer: Care, Community, and Collective Imagination

This year has already highlighted Jupiter-in-Cancer themes in striking, headline-worthy ways. We’ve been collectively grappling with questions about the state of social services, public care, and how families, children, women, and communities can be better supported—not as an afterthought, but as a priority.

One of the clearest examples came through the New York City mayoral election, where democratic socialist Zoran Mamdani won the race, running on a platform deeply aligned with human-first values. It was a powerful display of Cancerian priorities meeting Jupiter’s expansive influence.

The Collective Question: Who Are We Becoming?

As Jupiter retraces its steps, we are called to consider the past six months with honesty and intentionality:

* How have we shown up for one another in a time where authoritarianism is on the rise?

* Who do we want to become once the systems built by billionaires and oligarchs are dismantled?

* What is the core value of a collective that chooses diversity, democracy, humanity, and care?

* How do we give birth to a new “Sate of the Union?”

With a record number of women governors leading states as we transition to 2026, and a team of women guiding mayor-elect Mamdani’s incoming administration, the rise of the Matriarchy is not symbolic. It is active. It is political. It is present.

The Rise of the Matriarchy: What It Asks of Us

We are being asked to consider how the spirit of the matriarchy can guide the ways we protect, support, and build community. To do this, we must unlearn patriarchal systems rooted in harm, neglect, and oppression. The Great Mother archetype is rising—but she requires participants, not spectators.

Pluto’s ongoing transit through Aquarius underscores this. Aquarius demands innovation, future-thinking, reinvention. As Pluto eradicates outdated norms, we are reminded that we are the new founders. We are responsible for imagining what comes next.

Looking Ahead: What To Do During Jupiter’s Retrograde

Jupiter retrograde is a time for preparation. Between now and March 2026:

* Connect with your community, especially those aligned with shared ideals of equity, compassion, and collective care.

* Ground yourself and tend to your emotional foundations.

* Reflect deeply on what Jupiter in Cancer has revealed about your own relationship to care—received and given.

* Reorient your goals around the kind of world you want to help create.

When Jupiter stations direct, it will be time to put these ideals into motion.

Connecting with the Energy of a Full Moon

Coming off an eventful week — and under the glow of a Supermoon in Taurus — this ritual is designed to help you connect deeply with the energy of the cosmos.

A Supermoon occurs when the full moon is closest to Earth, appearing brighter and larger in the night sky. This particular moon symbolizes completion, culmination, and surrender. Full moons in astrology mark the end of a cycle — a time for release and letting go.

Rituals, meanwhile, are not bound by time or place. They are moments for connection with oneself, with intention, and with Source. When there is intention behind any ritual, and it is performed with love, comfort, and grounding, it will always be impactful.

The Energy of Taurus: Safety, Security, and Abundance

The Full Moon in Taurus brings themes of stability, safety, and material comfort. Taurus, an Earth sign, is grounded and practical — it wants to know that everything is secure: a roof overhead, food in the refrigerator, money in savings.

On a deeper level, the influence of Taurus invites a deeper reflection of what we value most — both materially and emotionally. It governs our priorities, our sense of reciprocity in relationships, and our relationship to the material world.

A Taurus Full Moon, meanwhile, serves as a culminating point when it comes to our definition of abundance, our values, and the things we desire to call into our lives.

For some, this energy may manifest as a financial negotiation or a reevaluation of possessions. For others, it could mean letting go of unhealthy attachments — whether to people, beliefs, or habits — that hinder growth.

We must rid ourselves of whatever inhibits us from calling in more of what we want and desire.

Preparing for the Full Moon Ritual

Before beginning, you will need a few items:

* A notebook or journal

* A separate sheet of paper

* Something that connects you to the element of Earth — soil, a crystal, or a precious stone.

* A bowl.

* An open heart and mind.

Understand that a full moon is not a time for setting new goals, but rather for release. It’s during a full moon that we let something go.

The Power and Meaning of the Taurus Supermoon

A Supermoon peaks on Wednesday, November 5th, in the earth sign of Taurus the Bull, marking a powerful celestial event. Full moons traditionally represent endings, completions, or moments of culmination, and because this one is a supermoon—appearing larger and brighter due to its closeness to Earth—its effects will feel especially intense.

This lunation highlights themes related to values, stability, and security, focusing on personal relationships, finances, and what we truly value in our lives. The energy of Taurus reminds us to ground ourselves and pay attention to what provides comfort and sustenance, both materially and emotionally.

Collective Shifts and Astrological Influences

As the Taurus Supermoon reaches its peak tomorrow at 8:19 a.m. EST, many people will experience changes and final decisions involving partnership dynamics or financial matters—such as renegotiating commitments, finalizing agreements, and rebalancing responsibilities.

On a broader scale, the timing coincides with the end of election season, symbolizing a collective reckoning with national values and priorities. This may manifest in political debates over economic issues, including SNAP benefits and potential impacts from the government shutdown.

Adding to the instability, Mercury is preparing to retrograde, while Uranus continues its retrograde motion in Taurus, signaling unexpected developments, reversals, or revelations. These cosmic shifts suggest a period of flux that invites us to reassess what truly matters.

A Ritual and Invitation

Remember to check your horoscopes this week for personalized insight into how this powerful full moon may affect you. And, I invite you to join me on my Substack tomorrow evening for a LIVE full moon ritual meant to support you in navigating this potent astrological event.

What does the planet Pluto have to do with the American Revolution?

Will we ever go back to the way things were when it comes to our “Democracy?

How will we make it through this period of chaos?

I had a wonderful conversation with Danielle Moodie on her series, “The Fire Pit,” to discuss the correlations between the astrology of the times and the realities of our current political climate.

Happy Thursday!

All the days of the week energetically correspond to the planets in our Solar System:

Sunday = The Sun (Ego and Vitality)

Monday = The Moon (Feelings and Nurturing)

Tuesday = Mars (War and Action)

Wednesday = Mercury (Thoughts and Communication)

Thursday = Jupiter (Luck and Abundance)

Friday = Venus (Aesthetic and Luxury)

Saturday = Saturn (Hard Work and Discipline)

If you’re in school and need to write a paper, do it on a Wednesday. If you’re buying a lottery ticket, do it on a Thursday.

If you have tasks and errands to run, do it on a Saturday. And if you’re planning a secret meeting with top U.S. military officials from all over the world, do it on a Tuesday.

Have you heard?

Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, is scheduled to meet with the nation’s leading generals and senior officers in Quantico, VA, to discuss…

well…

No one actually knows. Not even the generals themselves. Which is quite fitting as the planet Mars (the planet of the day) transits the sign of Scorpio, a sign known for hidden motivations.

Will this be another “loyalty oath,” where military officials pledge their allegiance to the President as Nazi soldiers did in Germany during WWII?

With Mercury set to ingress the sign of Scorpio next week, will there be talks and discussions on ways to enact Martial law on the American public?

Time will tell; both Mars and Mercury will transit the sign of Scorpio throughout all of October, before Mercury stations retrograde in November.

I’ll do my best to keep you posted.

Forget setting intentions today.

For the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse - an event that will close out major cycles and life chapters - I want you to commit to greater self-preservation.

✨What needs to be purged from your life (a mindset, fear, set of circumstances)?

✨How can you purify and organize your ways of living and being in this world?

The times we’re in demand our mental, emotional, and spiritual fortitude.

We must simplify and clarify who we are in this moment if we hope to make it through a tunnel of change better than we were, and of greater service to our world and collective.
