Are you feeling the energy shifts between the planets and the Lunar animals? On January 26, 2026, Neptune leaves Pisces after spending 14 years in its home sign, and Saturn leaves Pisces after 3 years. Both Neptune and Saturn move into fiery Aries, starting a new astrological cycle. Four days later, we say Goodbye to the Year of the Wood Snake. On February 17, 2026, we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse. Get ready for lots of action, speed, courage, independence, and travel. However, with all of this fire energy, we usually rely on the element of water to balance it out so it does not get out of control. This is where it gets complicated. There is absolutely no water energy coming from the outer planets in the 2026 chart. So the earth element must do all the balancing work.
Thank goodness for the closer planets, Venus and Mercury. For the first 4-weeks we will experience a little bit of the water element coming from Pisces.
Venus enters Pisces on February 10th through March 6th. Venus in Pisces is when individuals seek spiritual connection and emotional merger, expressing affection through art, healing, or selfless devotion, often leading to dreamy, empathetic, and boundary-dissolving relationships, though sometimes struggling with discernment. Venus in Pisces is exalted. The first 4-weeks of the Fire Horse may be very powerful for many.
Mercury enters Pisces on February 6th through April 14th. Mercury goes retrograde on February 26 through March 20th.
During Mercury in Pisces, your mind, communication, and thinking style are deeply intuitive, empathetic, imaginative, and spiritually connected, processing information through feeling and synthesis rather than pure logic, leading to creative expression (art, music, poetry) but sometimes challenges with clarity, boundaries, and practical details.
During Mercury's retrograde in Pisces, you may notice communication, thinking, and technical skills slow down, making it ideal for spiritual reflection, revisiting past issues, and trusting intuition over logic, and feeling lost in fantasy or emotion.
How will the first 4 weeks of the Fire Horse amplify your intuition, spiritual growth, psychic abilities, dreams, imagination, and illusions?
With both Venus and Mercury transiting Pisces, pay attention to any physical symptoms that may surface. Physical symptoms are your body's way of letting you know an emotion may need attention.
With both Neptune and Saturn transiting Aries, you may begin to question who you are, why you're here, and what legacy you will leave behind.
Take a look at the house Aries and Pisces are in and read what is in store for you during the first 4-weeks of the Fire Horse cycle and thereafter.
First house: Represents the house of self, how you want to be seen, first impression, and starting new things and new beginnings. Associated with Aries and ruled by Mars, it’s time to be a leader and take charge.
Second house: Related to personal finances, material and physical possessions, relationships, marriage, contracts, values, covers our emotions, feeling secure, and saving money. Associated with Taurus and ruled by Venus. Speaking up and speaking your truth helps you be seen and heard.
Third house: Represents communication, learning, teaching, speaking, creativity, listening, technology, schedules, planning, and travel. Associated with Gemini and ruled by Mercury. It’s a perfect time to have a conversation and clear the air.
Fourth house: Related to healing, caring, nurturing, home (shelter, body, work, soul purpose), relationship with mother, other women, and feminine. Associated with Cancer and ruled by the Moon. As you change and let go of what no longer serves you, healing begins.
Fifth house: Represents change, freedom, courage, charm, creativity, self-expression, and unpredictability. Associated with Leo and ruled by the Sun. It’s a great time to be courageous and experience freedom.
Sixth house: Related to organizing, routine, schedules, planning, healing, nervous system, body, and illness. Associated with Virgo and ruled by Mercury. What area in your life can you receive more or give more, and release guilt or judgement?
Seventh house: Represents Balance, harmony, relationships, marriage, contracts, meditation, quiet, spiritual awakening, and agreement. Associated with Libra and ruled by Venus, a great time to bring more play and joy into your day and relationships.
Eighth house: The house of crisis, the time to handle extreme circumstances. This is the side of you that deals with death, endings, transformation, finances. This house is also associated with surgery, psychotherapy, and the way we heal after loss. Associated with Scorpio and ruled by Pluto and Mars. Remember what you focus on grows. How would you like to see yourself transform?
Ninth house: Represents new experiences, higher learning, foreign places, long-distance travel, dream state, and legal matters. Higher education, publishing, advertising, and having your own opinions are handled here, along with politics, religion, and philosophy. Associated with Sagittarius and ruled by Jupiter.

Tenth house: Related to success, fame, achievement, awards, recognition, work, soul's purpose, relationship with father, other men, and masculine energy. Associated with Capricorn and ruled by Saturn. It’s a perfect time to applaud yourself for all that you achieved and completed. Be your own cheerleader!
Eleventh house: Represents community, visionary, patience, the weird kid on the block, curious, analytical, and an overthinker. Associated with Aquarius and ruled by Uranus and Saturn. Where can you be more compassionate toward yourself and allow yourself to stand out?
Twelve house: Represents your intuition, psychic abilities, empathy, kindness, caring, dreaming, letting go of things that no longer serve you, and addictions.
