In the new year, one sign needs to slow down, says JEMIMA CAINER, while another needs to be confident enough to make the right decision
JEMIMA CAINER: We're only weeks away from astrological activity which has not occurred in millennia and promises to reshape our world.
We begin a new calendar today, but the story of 2026 extends far beyond a 12-month period. We’re only weeks away from astrological activity which has not occurred in millennia and promises to reshape our world.
Although Saturn and Neptune do make an exact conjunction every 36 years, they have not combined their energy at 0 degrees of Aries, as they will this year, since around AD555.
Now, as we approach a Full Moon in Cancer, the cosmos is encouraging us to nurture what matters and choose acts of love and kindness.
ARIES
(March 21 - April 20)
You might have the urge to get going today, to move, to do something that feels like a proper start to the year. Or perhaps you have been taking your own good advice and are practising what you have been preaching to others about self-compassion. The cosmos is encouraging you to slow down and feel your way to the decisions that you are so keen to take. You don’t need to plan the whole year in one sitting. Let your mind wander a little first.

TAURUS
(April 21 - May 21)
New Year’s Day doesn’t have to be filled with momentum to mean something. In fact, the quiet might be exactly what you’re craving. A sense of peace today will instil something much more important than any resolution. Finding presence and connection after the party will empower you to make a conscious choice about what you will allow in your life this year. If you’re unsure what to commit to, start with this: what makes you feel most at home in yourself? Happy New Year! Want to know what 2026 has in store for you? Call now: 0905 789 0302✽
A date in a calendar is only as significant as we decide to make it says Jemima Cainer, so what 2026 brings is up to us
GEMINI
(May 22 - June 22)
The mind of a Gemini never really switches off. Even when you’re focused in one direction, there is a part of you exploring all options. That’s how you kickstart exciting plans while the rest of the world has a lie-in. The New Year prompts you to take out your pen and rewrite something important. You don’t need to know exactly what this is yet. Follow whatever feels interesting. A new thought or passing comment could stick with you longer than you expect. Happy New Year!

CANCER
(June 23 - July 23)
The first day of the year stirs a sense of deep reflection. After a drawn-out process of letting go, you’re ready to cut loose and make headway towards the future you’re committing to. But the rest of the world doesn’t seem to have caught up quite yet. Today doesn’t demand big moves or loud declarations. It simply asks you to stay close to what feels real. Your healing doesn’t follow a timeline. Don’t rush ahead. Let yourself ease gently into the next chapter. Happy New Year! Want to know what 2026 has in store for you? Call now: 0905 789 0304✽
