April opens exactly with a Full Moon in tropical Libra on April 1st. It is a strong anchoring and grounding lunation, much needed amidst the very chaotic, unstable, and transformative astrology of the now. It squares Jupiter, so there may be some tension or pressure to expand deeper with whatever has our greatest focus, or to go further on an emotional or creative level.

There can also be a sense of pressure to push past a threshold or dissatisfaction with certain limitations or restrictions in our relationships. Venus, the Full Moon ruler, has ingressed into Taurus, so both benefics (Jupiter and Venus) are strong in their dignities, supporting more positive connections, encounters, and expanding our reach.

As with any Full Moon, there may be something finalizing here, perhaps some peace made in a conflict between personal and shared interests, a balance or reset that can gift us a fresh perspective. Compromise or agreement is another Libra/Full Moon symbol, signifying the conclusion of a negotiation or enduring debate.

This Full Moon reflects a moment of pause within a chaotic and active process, a chance to catch one’s breath, slow down, and sink deep into something of emotional or spiritual power. And its settling and balancing dimension brings us to a new level of agreement or more confidence in a process, goal, or project.

Trusting the Flow: New Moon in Pisces 2026

March’s New Moon in tropical Pisces arrives during a massive line-up of inner planets, asteroids, and the lunar North Node in Pisces. This builds on the Piscean flow from the previous Full Moon and lunar eclipse. This New Moon and lunation cycle also officially ends eclipse season, setting us on a more stable path.

This Pisces accumulation occurs alongside the Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries, at the Aries Point during the equinox. This is a major world-transit event, shifting consciousness and the balance of world power, so stability is not a theme for these times generally. Pisces, in its shadow side, can create a sense of losing control and of being swept up by larger societal or cosmic forces.

With all this Piscean energy peaking, the Neptunian side of Saturn-Neptune alignment dominates consciousness and events. The result is an ambiguous,  illusory view of things. Clarity is unlikely. Much remains obscured about many events and situations now.

However, the deeper lesson of this sign is trust in a larger divine plan or purpose in our lives and world, something that becomes harder to hold on to in the midst of crises or collective turmoil. Yet, that is what the North Node among this planetary cluster suggests, reaching for some higher vision, spiritual purpose, or moral standard and staying true to it no matter what. Though the ultimate paradox of all this is that it collectively begs the question: whose “divine plan” is really unfolding here?

At 28 degrees Pisces, this New Moon sits on the Aries Point axis and brings in the Saturn-Neptune alignment. It is a strong starting point for a spiritual or creative vision or practice. Yet, there can be a real sense of darkness before dawn, heightened by all that’s happening.

This New Moon marks a key turning point in many personal and collective journeys. An awakening is slowly gaining power and momentum, especially as it reflects a unification of energy and power. The dam will break next month as Pisces turns to Aries, giving more ability to act and take charge. For now, focus on your dream or vision and trust its direction.

Surrender to Love: Full Moon/Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo 2026

March begins with a total lunar eclipse in tropical Virgo, visible over the Pacific Ocean, western North America, Northeastern Asia, and Eastern Australia. The partial and penumbral eclipse will be visible for most of these continents including South America.

Lunar eclipses, especially total, amplify the Full Moon’s symbolism and energy, increasing the intensity of all processes reaching their natural climax and conclusion. In Virgo, this can relate to breakthroughs or critical thresholds in competency, workflow, self-care, or technical skillfulness.

Crisis is the other end of a shadowy, lunar eclipse, and one manifestation we can’t ignore, especially on the collective level. The eclipse ruler Mercury has also begun its retrograde cycle through Pisces, so we may be revisiting much residual karmic territory.

Add to this the lunar eclipse’s alignment with the lunar South Node, and we get a powerful eclipse portal that brings past energies into focus and a lunar cycle primed for the release of stagnant energies.

And while the Full Moon sits in Virgo, the Pisces archetype dominates the picture with a stellium of planets positioned here along with the lunar north node. Much of this energy can feel confusing and chaotic. The challenging dimension of Pisces reflects a tsunami of energy that can easily overwhelm.

The high end of this Pisces current, however, requires immense compassion and putting ego aside for the sake of a larger spiritual purpose or ideal. This end is reflected as well in Saturn and Neptune’s Aries Point alignment, pushing reality across a new boundary and demanding a new dream for the world.

The paradox of these energies can reflect a confluence of genuine spiritual awakening alongside that of a delusional, ego-driven madness, or losing oneself completely to powerful archetypal forces. Be mindful of all impelling forces right now, and choose to surrender to the forces of love, truth, compassion, and creative joy.

Breaking Through: Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius 2026

We kick off 2026’s first eclipse season with a New Moon/Annular solar eclipse in tropical Aquarius. While not visible to most of the human world (it sweeps across Antarctica), astrologically, eclipses always have symbolic significance regardless of their visibility.

Occurring in the latter degrees of Aquarius and squaring Uranus (the modern “ruler” of Aquarius), this eclipse carries an immense tension between past and future. The final degrees of a sign represent a breaking point, a pushing of an event or process over the edge. This tension thus meets a critical moment of reckoning, not a resolution, but the beginning stages of it.

Uranus is a destabilizing archetype, and via the square, it applies some pressure to break free of rigid or limiting structures, or catalyzes an emancipatory impulse within much of what we’re dealing with and focusing on. Together, these symbols suggest a sudden acceleration and change of pace with all things brewing in the background.

Though with the start of 2026’s first Mercury retrograde cycle in roughly a week from this eclipse, this is more of a potent seeding point for restarting or rejuvenating some ongoing project, plan, or activity—pushing things through to a new level of potential or merely witnessing the effects of past actions and choices.

And as alluded to, with the Aquarius archetype, there’s an element here highlighting the tension between an old and new order, tradition vs. innovation, or a power struggle between an established authority and a new generation. It can all feel rather dramatic, especially where the shadow creeps in. Yet, integration is key: coming together, joining forces, and effectively bridging the polarity to create something new.

Seeing Light: Full Moon in Leo 2026

February kicks off with a Full Moon in tropical Leo, opposing the big planetary lineup in Aquarius. This Leo Full Moon represents a brief break from the heavy and challenging dynamics that have been building over the past weeks, all of which will be intensifying this month.
As with many Full Moons, there’s a culmination of activity and events leading to a collective and personal fulcrum. Hopefully, we can grasp some of the more playful and creative energy of the Leo archetype here, a symbol of joy and expressiveness that can lighten up the mood and focus.

With Uranus’ direct station too, there’s the element of surprise, revelation, and breakthrough that amplifies the Full Moon’s culminating energy and symbolism—perhaps a needed “aha” moment or perspective that makes the more challenging collective dynamics a bit easier to manage.
Of course, Aquarian symbolism is strongest on the other side of the Full Moon equation, and Pluto (as discussed last week) is a big part of it, magnifying our collective shadow work. Naturally, it might feel as if some impending societal doom awaits us any minute.

Aquarius’s higher expression, beyond mobbish groupthink and conformity, is integrating our unique abilities and perspectives into a larger whole. The value and power of authentic community, mutual support, and coming together toward a shared purpose and vision are exceptionally strong. We can glimpse some of that around this Full Moon too—stepping out into the light, sharing our gifts, and balancing personal and collective goals and perspectives. 

Getting Aligned: New Moon in Capricorn 2026

Our first New Moon of 2026 occurs in tropical Capricorn, alongside a rare solar system alignment involving Earth, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto. With an added trine from Uranus, this is a powerful setup that can catalyze numerous powerful events, processes, and experiences within both the personal and collective fields.

Also occurring on the brink of Saturn-Neptune’s historically rare alignment on the Aries Point (the first degree of Aries and the equinox axis), there is a lot of tension building here that we can experience as emerging breakthroughs and as a tipping point into a momentous transitional phase.

The Capricorn archetype is undeniably present with this New Moon and the days surrounding it. It is a cardinal earth sign, concerned with bridging the inner and the outward on concrete, pragmatic levels. There can be intense solitude, retreat, and focus with Capricorn, yet also a surge of ambition and motivation to practically implement goals, objectives, and strong desires.

With the New Moon itself, we’re unlikely to see all that’s brewing beneath right now, or at least realize it’s full power and transformative potential, but we can feel it unconsciously. There is more depth to Capricorn than it’s often caricatured, and more potential for the wise implementation of creative vision.

Pay close attention to all that’s beginning to take shape, collectively and personally, all that’s gradually coming to the surface with this alignment. It signifies a much bigger process that will unfold and take shape over many months (and potentially longer). This is a powerful New Moon to put into motion anything we need a lot of momentum behind it, but also a turning point for much that we’ve already done.

Within Reach: Full Moon in Cancer 2026

January’s Full Moon in tropical Cancer kicks off both the start of the month and the year 2026. Aligned with an exalted Jupiter and opposing the Sun, Venus, and Mars Capricorn trio, there is big energy peaking here where projects, intentions, or objectives are reaching critical crescendos.

The relational end of Venus and Mars (along with Mercury-Juno) can reveal deep tensions in intimate relationships, stirring up potential conflict but also insight and opportunities for boundary adjustments, modifying comfort levels, and support needs. The creative and sexual dynamic of the Sun, Mars, and Venus can show up as an intense focus on select passions.

Jupiter’s presence alongside the Full Moon culmination can give a lot of enthusiasm and excitement for something we’re bringing forward or into the open. There is an auspicious element here, too, where critical progress can be made, or the perfect opportunity or insight arrives when needed most.

Yet, there’s an over-the-top dimension to this setup, a way in which we can overdo things, take on too much, or overestimate whatever has our focus right now. A lot of optimism can run high with a powerful Jupiter in the picture.

The Full Moon-Jupiter in Cancer, balanced by the Capricorn planets, brings about an ideal compromise and integration between powerful emotional energy and a stoic fixation on whatever we’re pursuing and concretizing—allowing us to grasp or express something previously hidden, intangible, or out of reach.
