Read on, Earth signs!
Taurus
Do you feel like you’re moving at a completely different pace right now, Taurus? It may seem like everyone is zipping around you while you’re stuck on a conveyor belt moving in the opposite direction. The energy of this year is quick, which is naturally uncomfortable and pressurizing for your grass-grazing side of indulgence.
Fret not! Uranus’ stationing direct in your sign on February 4th puts the same zing of motivation in your morning oats, and you’re advised to use this to your advantage. Uranus leaves your sign permanently on April 26, 2026, and will not return for another 84 years. Use this energy wisely: If you want different results, you have to do things differently. Liberation, freedom, and radical change can be on your docket this year, but you must drop the stubbornness and be open to new systems. Remember: discomfort is merely a season, not a life-sentence.
Virgo
You know what’s hotter than a perfectly organized spreadsheet? Asking for help. The overwhelm and lack of organization you’re feeling as our astro-heavy hitters move into Aries may make you feel like you missed the starting gun and everyone has started the race without you, but fear not. You must lay the groundwork now of creating connections and community to help your ideal network spring to life when the time comes.
Your future bloom arrives in mid-June, with Jupiter’s sextile to your sign. Prioritizing rest now is key to you for this season—don’t expect flowers to bloom when you planted their bulbs while it was still snowing outside. Pacing correctly is an art in itself – instead of being chronically early (and chronically over-caffeinated), lean into fluidity, divine timing, and drinking enough water between lattes.
Capricorn
Wow, Capricorn! I must congratulate you on all the progress you’ve made thus far and through 2025, when the rest of the world felt like they were taking a deep nap underground. You are already doing much more than you’re giving yourself credit for, so start telling yourself you have the success you desire already and get into that “I’ve received it already” frequency.
Looking back on the mountains you’ve climbed, dare to be different this chapter and take stock of all the work you’ve put in instead of leaning that hard head of yours towards your next goal. Saturn’s entrance into Aries mid-February will feel like the rest of the world is finally catching up to the program you’ve been on for years – soften into the incoming recognition. Tips to embrace the change? Consider changing up your wardrobe or making plans with your flaky Libra/Pisces/Gemini friend who’s hard to pin down but oh-so-cup-filling.
