Astrology for 2026

December 11th Seattle 7:30 - 9:00

Puget Sound Yacht Club

Free to the public

I will be giving a talk on the Astrology for 2026 at WSAA’s (Washington State Astrology Association) holiday gathering, which is free to the public: (Puget Sound Yacht Club: 2321 N. Northlake Way, Seattle)

We are in the midst of a period of unprecedented astrological shifts, with every planet having changed signs this year for the first time in history. 2025 has been a preview of the shifts that will accelerate in early 2026, with all the outer planets changing from Earth and Water signs (yin, feminine) to Fire and Air signs, (yang, masculine)—quickening the energy field around us. Although conditions in the world are highly unstable and uncertain, this planetary alignment is ripe with the potential for a huge leap in consciousness growth—which many people are experiencing. We will explore the impacts of this energy shift on the world and how to align with this quickened energy in our own lives. Suitable for all levels.

This week’s astrology forecast:

November 10th - 16th

Message for the week: “Slow down, you’re moving too fast…”

After last week’s dynamic planetary activity, a quieter week is in store, with very few planetary aspects. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus are all turning retrograde, enhancing introspective growth and generally slowing down a bit.

Mercury in Sagittarius (travel) retrograde is most demonstrative with the current problems with air travel, causing many people to adjust their travel plans. For all of us, it is a good time to cultivate Sagittarian attributes of maintaining a lightness, sense of humor, and adaptability with all the uncertainty of these times. This is also a good time to reevaluate plans you thought were already set—stop and think things through.

The Sun in Scorpio will form a Grand Trine with Jupiter and Saturn in water signs, peaking this weekend, enhancing internal well-being rather than relying on outer circumstances. All in all, a good week to get off the treadmill of chasing after life and allow yourself to slow down and let life come to you.

Monday: A casual and quiet start to the day, with the Moon in nurturing Cancer trine to inspiring Neptune and sextile to innovative Uranus. The energy builds mid-morning when Moon moves into fiery Leo, pumping up confidence. An opposition to Pluto midday can activate strong resistance to whatever is going on. The afternoon is empowered by a supportive trine to energetic Mars, while the evening can bring a desire to share love and affection with a motivational square to amorous Venus.

Tuesday: A high-powered day favoring putting your best foot forward and letting your light shine with the Moon in radiant Leo with no aspects through the day. There is a square to the Sun tonight, which can lead to misreading others—don’t assume, ask. Jupiter turns retrograde today, favoring inner growth and expansion.

Wednesday: The mind gets a cosmic boost today with Mercury conjunct empowering Mars in Sagittarius—great for speaking up with confidence and enthusiasm. The Moon is in high-spirited Leo, adding to the “go with confidence” tone of the day.  You may want to shake things up this afternoon while the Moon is square to “out of the box” Uranus, just before it moves into Virgo in the late afternoon, calling for returning to the needs of the here and now 

Thursday: You may have had a restless sleep but a smooth and productive day unfolds with the Moon in “ready to get to work” Virgo. The agitating square to Mars, just before dawn creates restlessness and then the Moon sextiles pleasurable Venus, enhancing working with others. This is also a good day for getting back to your diet and fitness routines.

Friday: The Moon is in effective, efficient Virgo sextile to the energizing Sun, making for an excellent day to roll up your sleeves, clean up clutter in your life, and get some work done. The Moon sextiles expansive Jupiter and opposes restricting Saturn this afternoon—a good day to grow and expand but know your limits and when to stop.

Saturday: Relationships and socializing are favored, with the Moon entering companionable Libra with all harmonious aspects throughout the day. The Moon is trine to Pluto and sextile to Mercury this morning, stimulating deep and meaningful conversations. The Moon moves into a sextile to passionate, action-oriented Mars this evening—excellent for dancing and romancing and cultural activities.

Sunday: A good day for gracious living, whatever that may mean to you, with the Sun trine to Jupiter and the Moon in Libra with no disruptive aspects. Jupiter’s influence increases optimism and the sense of positive possibilities. Relationships will benefit from this positive influence as well as personal inner growth.

May the stars be with you!
