Scorpio

Saturn moves into Aries in February and immediately throws friction at your sun. This is not subtle. You'll notice it first as external resistance: a project that won't move, a conversation that keeps stalling, a timeline that refuses to cooperate. The square asks you to build something real while someone or something keeps saying no. The instinct will be to force it or to withdraw entirely. Neither works. What does: treating the resistance as information. Saturn in Aries doesn't care about your intensity — it cares whether you can stay in the room when the room is uncomfortable. If you've been moving fast to avoid being seen, this transit slows you down enough that people can finally catch up. If you've been waiting for perfect conditions, it hands you imperfect ones and asks what you'll do anyway.

The square peaks three times due to Saturn's retrograde: spring, late summer, and again in early 2027. Each pass refines the same question. By December, you'll know what you're actually building versus what you were performing.

Jupiter spends late spring in your ninth house, then crosses into Leo and your tenth in July. The ninth house transit is shorter but useful — it opens a window for learning something you've been circling but not committing to. A course, a certification, a trip that reorients your sense of scale. Don't overplan it. The value is in starting, not in having the full map.

When Jupiter enters Leo in July, it moves into your house of career and public role. This is the first time since 2014–2015 that Jupiter has been here. If you've been working behind the scenes or in a role that doesn't quite fit, this is the year people start noticing the fit is off — or noticing you're ready for a bigger container. Jupiter in Leo doesn't hand you the role; it makes the role visible. You'll see what you want to be known for, and you'll see whether your current setup allows that. Some Scorpios will step into leadership. Others will realize they've been leading in private and it's time to make it public. Still others will leave a position that looked good on paper but didn't let them do the actual work.

The catch: Jupiter in Leo is also squaring Uranus in Taurus through late summer and fall, which means any expansion comes with a disruption to your systems, money, or sense of security. Growth and instability arrive in the same envelope.

The eclipse series that's been running through Aries/Libra since 2023 finally shifts. The new axis is Virgo/Pisces, which for you is the axis of friendships, groups, and creative risk. The March 14 lunar eclipse in Virgo asks you to look at which friendships are still reciprocal and which ones you're maintaining out of loyalty to an older version of yourself. Someone might leave your circle. Or you might realize you've outgrown the group's center of gravity. The September 7 solar eclipse in Virgo repeats the question with more clarity. Virgo doesn't do drama — it just asks what's still functional.

The Pisces eclipses (March 29 and September 21) land in your fifth house: the place of creative output, play, and what you make when no one's watching. This is the house that gets ignored when you're busy managing everyone else's needs. The eclipses here are an invitation to take your own work seriously again, even if it's not monetized yet. Especially if it's not monetized yet.

This is not a year that rewards speed. It rewards specificity. Saturn's square will slow you down. Jupiter's ingress will make you visible. The eclipses will edit your circle and hand you back your attention. If you try to do this year the way you did 2025, you'll hit a wall by summer. If you let the resistance teach you, you'll finish December with something solid that didn't exist in January.

Try working in public before you think you're ready. Try saying no to the project that flatters your reputation but bores your actual interest. Worth asking, every few months: am I building this because I want it, or because I think I should want it?
