Saturn Retrograde 2026 ( 27/7/26 – 11/12/26 )

July 27 – December 11 in Aries

Discipline meets reflection. Saturn retrograde is asking you to take a proper look at your commitments, goals and sense of responsibility. You might find yourself thinking about how to bring a bit more structure into your work, your relationships or just life in general.

With Saturn in Aries, it’s all about independence and courage - but don’t forget a bit of patience, too. Reassess where you’ve been taking on too much and start setting some clearer boundaries. This retrograde is a good time to let go of old habits that aren’t doing you any favours and figure out what really matters. Take it slow, do it thoughtfully, and you’ll come out the other side with a stronger sense of direction and a bit more self-discipline under your belt.

Uranus Retrograde 2026 ( 6/9/25 – 4/2/26 | 11/9/26 – 8/2/27 )

September 6, 2025 – February 4, 2026 in Gemini and Taurus then September 11, 2026 – February 8, 2027

Uranus begins its first retrograde phase in early Gemini before sliding back into the final degrees of Taurus. It will be blending themes of mental innovation with material stability. This means you're likely to get some very brilliant and innovative ideas that you can physically manifest with a bit of work and practicality.

While in Gemini, Uranus stirs up curiosity, new technologies and unconventional ideas. Communication breakthroughs or digital shifts may push you to think differently about how you connect and learn. Sometimes words and thoughts can be volatile or rebellious, so do take care on this point.

As Uranus retreats into Taurus, the energy becomes more grounded - highlighting financial values, personal stability and practical changes that support long-term growth. It’s a chance to solidify recent innovations before Uranus fully commits to Gemini’s forward-thinking air.

By September 2026, Uranus once again turns retrograde in Gemini, reawakening the drive for freedom of thought and original expression. These twin retrogrades urge you to balance invention with integrity. Go ahead and innovate now without losing touch with what’s real and lasting. Uranus retrograde in Gemini shakes up communication, technology and ideas. Expect sudden insights or new ways of thinking. This is your cue to break free from old patterns of thought. Explore innovative ideas but take your time putting them into action. Inspiration comes first, implementation second.

Neptune Retrograde 2026 ( 7/7/26 - 13/12/26 )

July 7 – December 13 in Aries

Neptune retrograde in Aries is all about mixing a bit of spirituality with some reality checks. Now’s the time to really listen to your dreams and get ready to put them into action when Neptune goes direct. This phase helps you see where you’ve been idealising instead of actually doing. Use this time for creative projects or some meditative work that grounds your imagination in purpose. Trust your gut during this time - it’s a good guide for figuring out what’s real, what’s fantasy and where your inspiration can actually take you.

Pluto Retrograde 2026 ( 7/5/26 - 16/10/26 )

May 7 – October 16 in Aquarius

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is all about deep transformation. It’s a time for a collective awakening - questioning systems, looking at how we use power and thinking about tech in new ways. You might notice shifts in social awareness or movements that change how communities connect. On a personal level, it’s about embracing change and stepping into your true self. Let go of what’s weighing you down and take back your personal power - it’s all about doing it with intention.

Chiron Retrograde ( 4/8/26 - 6/1/27 )

August 4, 2026 – January 6, 2027 in Taurus and Aries

Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is shining a light on emotional healing. It's all about learning to accept yourself. Old wounds might pop up, giving you the chance to finally deal with them. In Taurus, self-worth and finding stability are highlighted. As Chiron moves back into Aries, the focus shifts to healing your identity and reclaiming your strength. Gentle self-compassion is key and taking small, steady steps can make a big difference in feeling truly empowered.
