January 2026 brings new energy, revolutionary and innovative thinking. With 5 planets in Aquarius, we start a new 18 years cycle, as the eclipses change signs every 18 years. Eclipses are our strong cards, they bring changes, unexpected surprises. If we are wondering for important decision to take, eclipse slam the door and point us to the right direction, as the North node is our karmic point, it points which is the right path for our development and growth, where south node is our past and what we have to let go in order to progress and to success.
The next two years will be years the north node moves to Aquarius and the south node to Leo. This brings new energy, the energy of Aquarius.
January 31st is the Full Moon in Leo, it is not a eclipse, but it change the narrative. As the last two years eclipses were in Pisces and Virgo, now they change direction- to the signs of Aquarius and Leo.
In the middle of August.2026, we have the first New moon Solar eclipse in Leo, also, full moon and new moon solar eclipses in Leo in 2027.
It is important to remember, south Node is Leo and Aquarius will bring the North node- the karmic direction we have to follow.
The energy is strong and the stars call us to follow the Aquarius path, it is strong, it is karmic path.
Since January 20 to February 7.2026, the presence of 5 plants in Aquarius changes the mood and energy on our planet. You may ask, the eclipses come every 18 years, why is this one stronger and more powerful? Yes, four planets: Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus enter Aquarius every 2-4 years, in 2026- Pluto joins the party, and Pluto cycle is 248-256 years. Pluto is very powerful planet! As he joins the other Aquarius planets, he adds marks not only on this year, but also in the the next 18 years, as Pluto will be in Aquarius until 2044.
During the Leo’s Full moon in January 31st, the Sun in Leo stands alone against these 5 planets, where Pluto is there and all opposites your Sun in Leo. The ball is in the hands of your opponent, or as astrology explains, these 5 planets are in Leo’s 7 house of partnerships. What we can advise you Leo now, it will be valid for the next two years, as the eclipses will be in Leo and Aquarius. Leo’s life and identity may be changed or transformed through partnership. During the next two years, Leo may take new life course, start a new life direction, end some partnership that does not go into the same direction, or, you may start a new one. Leo will be centner stage, Leo will be given chance to shine, to grow as Mars, the planet of energy, action and motivation will spend a few months in Leo, due to Mars retrograde in Virgo, then goes back to Leo and stay there unusually long tome- from October 29 to Nov 30 in Leo, then, again from February 22 .2027 to May 15.2027. Leo, this will be your time to show your talent, your creativity and love, only under one condition: avoid relying too much on your individualism, emotional reactions, your pride, your desire for attention. Use your artistic gifts to contribute to collaborations, be part of group, consider your partner and work as even associates.
The Leo South Node asks Leo and all who that has rising sign or planets in Leo to let go of drama, pride, self- centeredness, the desire to control the narrative, the illusion that you shine alone. Leo’s shadow is the ego that refuses to develop.
In 2026 and 2027, the Universe says: “Your light is needed—but not your ego.” If you join a group, if you work in collaboration with partnership, if you devote your time and efforts to humanitarian goals that benefit a large group of people, you will succeed, you will shine brighter than ever, you will be the leader that you want to be.
The Full Moon in Leo, on January 31st is prelude for the eclipses in Aquarius and Leo, for the next two years of your life. Now, think about which project you are going to end, who of your followers will be left behind, who are these that don’t follow your dreams and your life purpose. Align with your goals, choose best friends that have similar goals and that have humanitarian targets, these that have revolutionary, innovative thinking and are ready to change the world and make it a better place to live! These that spread love, peace and harmony! These that make scientific changes and have philanthropic goals. Are you ready? No worry if some of your friends take different direction, if someone leaves your circle, or if you find yourself in the fork of the road. Take the right decision, one that brings you closer to your heart. Finally, Leo is the sign that rules heart. What is your heart desire? Be brave, follow it, but don’t forget where you belong, what your life goal is and who your tribe is.
