2nd decan August 03 - 12
3rd decan August 13 - 23
by Paolo Crimaldi
With the entry of Neptune and Saturn into Aries between January and February, and Uranus into Gemini at the end of April not to mention Jupiter entering your sign on July 1 you are heading into a truly fantastic year, rich with satisfaction and recognition that will allow you to redeem yourselves after the difficult period experienced over recent years. It is the moment of redemption, of returning as the absolute protagonists of your life; and if you have planted well in past years, you will receive the recognition you deserve and even more than expected. One could say there is an added bonus beyond the interest earned on past efforts. What you have built will reveal itself to be solid, while if you have not invested in anything, you may rely only on strokes of luck, which must be managed with wisdom, awareness, and initial moderation.
In other words, it is time to change the script to reclaim spaces you had lost or abandoned and above all to understand concretely where you want to position yourselves, what life choices are right for you, and with whom you wish to share them. All of 2026 will be a crescendo of opportunities to show who you really are, what potential you possess, in what areas you can shine, and where you can demonstrate maturity and competence without unnecessary embellishments or epic gestures.
Saturn will teach you to be more restrained in public displays, yet more concrete and decisive in what you consider truly useful and necessary. Rather than empty compliments, you will prefer recognition expressed through financial gain or status.
At the same time, Neptune will enhance your intuition, giving you the ability to see far beyond the everyday providing almost prophetic tools that allow you to foresee long-term developments and expand your range of action, making you visible even where you once seemed transparent. Remember that the first part of the year is dedicated to planning: a time when finding support, receiving assignments, or being taken seriously by those able to help you will be simple. From July onward, with Jupiter entering your sign, the period of concrete achievements begins lasting strongly until early summer 2027.
In this second part of the year, avoid excesses. Try not to be overly generous wi th yourselves or others; make prudent investments and avoid wasting economic and psychophysical resources that may be needed in the coming years to stabilize and further improve your social or professional standing. This second part of 2026 may also bring economic surprises from past investments, lottery winnings, or even an unexpected valuable gift from someone you did not expect anything from.
From April 16 to May 3, Mercury in trine from Aries will energize your everyday life, making you particularly inclined to undertake bold and adventurous initiatives. Avoid exaggeration or unnecessary risks, especially now that you are working on something far greater than immediate recognition. Mental energy will be high, but so will the risk of impulsive choices or excessive enthusiasm that may be misunderstood or cause tension with collaborators, colleagues, superiors, friends, or family members. Maintain a balance between enthusiasm and prudence, between availability and healthy detachment. If in recent months you have been working on a project that awaited the right moment to take flight, this is that moment you will see the path facilitated by various stimuli and support coming from several directions.
Between August 9 and 25, Mercury will pass through your sign, potentially marking a true consecration on multiple levels. If you have been waiting for something capable of giving a decisive turning point to your existence, you will finally obtain it. During holidays you will shine socially, forming new friendships and collaborations that may prove useful especially if you aim for public recognition that strengthens your name in your usual environment. Awards and recognitions, both financial and in terms of status, may also arrive in August after months of expectation.
You will conclude 2026, starting December 6, with a particularly stimulating Mercury in Sagittarius encouraging you to explore new fields, plan trips, and experiment outside your daily routine. Pay attention to ideas involving foreign countries, movement, or anything different from your usual: they will be key to living 2027 as true protagonists.
In love, March will open the dance of emotional and passionate experiences, rekindling your heart with a warmth it had grown somewhat unaccustomed to. Encounters may range from simple adventures to intense passions supported by a strong erotic charge that will not leave those who interest you indifferent. This is also a period in which you may reinvest in your relationship especially if passion had faded reprogramming the future on new foundations. Avoid impulsive breakups that you may later regret; the timing is not right.
Your season of love runs from June 13 to July 9, a period in which many emotional situations in your relationship, family, and friendships can finally be clarified. You will be irresistible in your initiatives, attracting a small circle of people encouraging you toward transgression or adventurous emotional territories. Always feel free to express your true nature, but avoid expecting unconditional understanding and acceptance from a potential partner. Some disappointment is possible. Do not insist on what is not yet available; looking elsewhere will be the best way to enjoy the beginning of summer.
From August 6 to September 10, and again from October 25 to December 4, Venus will support you from Libra favoring emotional and social life. You will form new friendships, meet people who may become important professionally or help you enter environments you had long hoped to access. There will also be opportunities for encounters capable of significantly changing your emotional life and leading you toward a more stable and future-oriented relational dimension. If you decide to marry or begin cohabitation during this period, it is certainly the right moment just as it is the right time to begin a couple's project that brings greater stability and concreteness.
