Astrology is all about timing. Thanks to the cyclical nature of the solar system, we know exactly when planets will move into new signs, station retrograde, and form aspects to (aka be in relationships with) each other — even centuries into the future. With this information, we can anticipate which periods will be more volatile and which will be packed with opportunity.
This resource lists the dates you need to know, all in one place. So go ahead — pull out your calendar, or your 2026 Astro Planner, and highlight the dates you want to pay attention to this year.
