The Outer Planets of our solar system are the great time-keepers of astrology. Moving slowly and deliberately, they don’t speak to daily moods or fleeting events; instead, they shape epochs, generations, and the deep evolutionary arcs of human evolution.

Where the inner planets— Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars— describe how we live, the outer planets—Jupiter (cusp), Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto reveal why history unfolds the way it does.

Because our Outer Planets take many years—sometimes centuries—to complete a single journey around the Sun, their influence is shared across entire generations. They set the background frequency of an era, quietly shaping cultural values, collective fears, spiritual longings, technological revolutions, and the rise and fall of systems. They do not rush. They reshape.

Inviting you to join my Energy 2026 online course, where I talk about the major shifts in our Outer Planets during 2026, the gifts of these transits, the potential challenges ahead, and how to fully embody the energies and be part of the GREAT SHIFT in Consciousness during 2026.

Jupiter – The Great Amplifier

12 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac.

Jupiter occupies a powerful threshold position in astrology. Often called a mid-planet, it bridges the personal world of the inner planets with the vast, epoch-shaping forces of the outer planets. Where Saturn defines limits, Uranus breaks them, Neptune dissolves them, and Pluto transforms them—Jupiter gives them meaning.

Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the Sun, spending roughly one year in each zodiac sign. This makes it slower than the personal planets, yet faster than the outer planets, placing it perfectly to shape global themes without becoming static by setting tone of a year or cultural cycle. Jupiter shows what humanity is learning, teaching, justifying, or aspiring toward at any given time.

Jupiter governs belief systems, philosophies, ethics, religion, education, law, and cultural narratives. Its role in the big picture is not to create events directly, but to frame how humanity understands what is happening. When Jupiter shifts signs, the dominant worldview of an era subtly changes.

• Jupiter asks: What story are we telling about reality?
• It expands ideas, ideologies, hopes, and moral frameworks
• It influences collective optimism, confidence, and faith in the future

Jupiter in Leo

30 June 2026 to 26 July 2027

Jupiter moves out of Cancer and into Leo on the 30 June 2026.   What ever was happening in your life during the last two Jupiter-Leo transits of 2002-03 and then 2014-15 will be coming back up for review/reflection during 2026-27, gifting us the opportunity of responding to this Jupiter-Leo cycle from a higher octave.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and astrologically it represents expansion, abundance, wisdom, optimism, opportunity, and spiritual growth. Wherever Jupiter travels, it magnifies the themes of that sign, illuminating pathways for learning, growth, and meaning. Jupiter teaches through experience, often opening doors that invite us to take risks, broaden our perspective, and trust in life’s unfolding. During any Jupiter transit, there is an emphasis on growth through belief—belief in ourselves, belief in possibility, and belief in something greater than the immediate moment.

Leo is a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, the very source of light, vitality, and life-force. Its energy is expressive, courageous, and unapologetically creative. Leo governs self-expression, confidence, leadership, joy, and heart-centered living. It carries an innate desire to create, to love fully, and to live with passion and presence. Often summarised by the phrase “I will,” Leo is about claiming one’s place in the world and expressing truth through authenticity. At its highest expression, Leo teaches us that being ourselves—openly and wholeheartedly—is a sacred act.

When Jupiter moves through Leo, the cosmic invitation is to expand through heart, courage, and creative self-expression. This transit blends Jupiter’s expansive, truth-seeking nature with Leo’s radiant, life-affirming fire, creating a cycle that encourages us to live more boldly, authentically, and joyfully. Jupiter in Leo reminds us that growth does not always come through effort or discipline alone—it also comes through joy, confidence, and the willingness to be seen.

When Jupiter expands the Leo archetype, we are encouraged to step boldly into our own spotlight—not from ego, but from self-trust and inner confidence. Jupiter in Leo enhances leadership qualities and personal confidence, both individually and collectively. There is a strong push toward visibility—being seen, heard, and recognised for who we truly are. Leo is deeply connected to joy, playfulness, romance, and vitality, and Jupiter amplifies these qualities with enthusiasm and optimism, hence this transit invites us to reconnect with pleasure, passion, and the simple delight of being alive.

Every fire carries a shadow. As Jupiter expands Leo’s light, it also reveals where confidence slips into ego, or where the hunger to be seen eclipses sincerity. This transit gently teaches discernment—how to shine without burning, how to lead without dominating, how to receive applause without becoming dependent on it. Jupiter in Leo ultimately rewards expression that flows from the heart rather than the need for validation. When humility walks beside confidence, radiance becomes sustainable.

Saturn – Teacher of Time & Structure

29.5 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac

Saturn defines the bones of civilization. Its long cycles correspond with the rise and testing of institutions: governments, economies, laws, traditions, and social contracts. Saturn doesn’t punish—it initiates through discipline.

• Saturn asks: What must mature? What is no longer sustainable?
• Its transits mark periods of responsibility, reckoning, and karmic accounting.
• Collectively, Saturn shows us where we must grow up, repair foundations, and accept the consequences of past choices.

Saturn in Aries

13/14 February 2026 to 12/13 April 2028

Saturn moves out of Pisces and into Aries on the 13/14 February 2026.   What ever was happening in your life during the last two Saturn-Aries transits of 1967-69 and then 1996-99 will be coming back up for review/reflection during 2026-28, gifting us the opportunity of responding to this current Saturn-Aries cycle from a higher octave.

The shift from Saturn in Pisces to Saturn in Aries marks a profound change in the soul’s curriculum. Where Pisces softened us, dissolved us, and returned us to the ocean of oneness, Aries now dries our feet, places us on solid ground, and asks us to stand. This is the movement from feeling everything to choosing something. From faith tested in the unseen to courage expressed through action.

When Saturn enters Aries, the cosmic elder meets the sacred spark. This is a powerful and intimate initiation—one that invites us to grow strong not through endurance alone, but through conscious courage.

Saturn, the wise architect of time, structure, boundaries, and devotion, does not feel entirely comfortable in Aries’ raw, instinctual fire. And yet, this is precisely where the magic lies. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac—the place of birth, impulse, and the bold declaration of I am. When Saturn moves through this terrain, we are asked to mature our identity, to refine our will, and to learn how to act with integrity rather than reaction.

This is not a loud or performative courage. It is the quiet, embodied bravery of choosing yourself again and again—especially when it would be easier to shrink, delay, or seek permission.

Saturn in Aries teaches sovereignty. You are no longer waiting for external validation or direction. This transit asks: Can you trust yourself enough to lead your own life? It is a call to step into self-authorship, where decisions are rooted in inner alignment rather than fear of consequence.

Aries moves fast, but Saturn slows the flame so it can burn clean. Here, we learn discernment—what desires are worthy of our life force, and which impulses drain or scatter us. This is a beautiful time to commit to what truly matters, giving your energy a focused, devotional container.

This transit supports leadership that is felt, not forced. You may be called to lead in new ways—not by dominating, but by modelling courage, clarity, and calm resolve. Feminine leadership here is intuitive, heart-led, and deeply rooted in self-respect.

Chiron – The Sacred Wound & Path of Healing

49-51 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac

Chiron is a celestial body known as a centaur—an object whose orbit sits between Saturn and Uranus—and in astrology it represents the archetype of the Wounded Healer. Discovered in 1977, Chiron carries a frequency that bridges the personal and the collective, the material and the mythic. Chiron was originally classified as an asteroid, but is now referred to as a minor-planet, though also exhibits comet like characteristics.

As Chiron moves slowly (about a 50-year orbit), entire generations carry similar healing themes, shaping cultural conversations around therapy, holistic medicine, and embodied healing. Chiron teaches how to hold pain without becoming imprisoned by it, and how to transform suffering into meaning without denying its reality.

• Personally, Chiron shows where we may feel inadequate, unseen, or hurt—yet where we develop profound empathy and insight.
• Collectively, Chiron reveals humanity’s shared wounds: trauma, exile, mental health, ancestral pain, and the places where systems have failed to care.

Chiron in Taurus

19/20 June 2026 to 26 May 2035
3 Aug 2026 – Chiron retrograde at 0° Taurus
17 Sep 2026 – Chiron retrogrades back into Aries
6 Jan 2027 – Chiron moves direct in Aries
14 April 2027 – Chiron moves into Taurus until 2035

Chiron moves out of Aries and into Taurus on the 19/20 June 2026. After a brief retrograde back into Aries, Chiron moves permanently into Taurus in April 2027.   What ever was happening in your life during the last Chiron-Taurus transits of 1977-1984 will be coming back up for review/reflection during 2026-35, gifting us the opportunity of responding to this current Chiron-Taurus cycle from a higher octave.

When Chiron enters Taurus, the wound descends from the fire of identity into the soil of the body. This is no longer about who you are becoming —
it is about whether you believe you deserve to exist in peace, safety, and pleasure once you arrive.

Taurus teaches slowly. It does not rush healing. It listens to the nervous system, to the bones, to the places where fear learned to settle and stay. Under this transit, Chiron whispers— You were never broken — you were deprived.

Chiron in Taurus healing unfolds through embodiment, not insight. It does not arrive through analysis or effort, but through a gradual return to the body as a sanctuary. Under Chiron in Taurus, we relearn the language of sensation and presence — listening to what the body communicates through comfort, tension, desire, and need. Our relationship with money, land, food, and time begins to soften and repair, and slowness becomes a form of medicine rather than a luxury. Beauty is welcomed back in, not as indulgence, but as nourishment — without guilt or justification.

Chiron in Taurus does not demand transformation or self-improvement. Instead, it invites reconciliation — with matter, with flesh, with the living Earth. This is a remembering that healing does not require becoming someone new, but rather returning to what has always been true beneath layers of survival and deprivation.

Here, healing arrives quietly and without spectacle. It shows itself in the moments when you stop apologising for needing rest, when your body softens because it finally feels safe, and when receiving no longer feels dangerous. Pleasure shifts from something that must be earned or restrained into something that offers permission — a gentle affirmation that being alive is allowed to feel good.

This transit teaches that self-worth is not an idea to be mastered. It is a lived state of being that is regulated, resourced, and rooted. Worth is felt in the steadiness of the nervous system, in the body’s ability to trust its environment, and in the quiet confidence of having enough.

The deepest initiation of Chiron in Taurus is simple and profound: you are allowed to have what sustains you, and you are allowed to enjoy being here. As this medicine settles into the collective, a new value system begins to take shape— one that honours the body as wise and the Earth as sacred.

Uranus – The Awakener & Revolutionary

84 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac

Uranus is the great awakener of the zodiac. Its energy arrives like a lightning bolt—sudden, electric, and impossible to ignore. In astrology, Uranus governs change, rebellion, liberation, innovation, and higher intelligence. It is the planet that breaks patterns, disrupts stagnation, and insists that evolution cannot be postponed.

Where Uranus moves, life refuses to remain comfortable or predictable. This is not chaos for its own sake, but awakening through disruption. Uranus reveals where we have outgrown old structures, identities, belief systems, and social agreements. It shocks us awake so that truth can emerge.

Uranus does not ask politely. It liberates by rupture, often removing what was never truly aligned in the first place. Collectively, Uranus asks: Where must we evolve beyond old paradigms?

• Freedom and individuation
• Radical authenticity
• Innovation, technology, and future vision
• Sudden breakthroughs and revelations
• Collective revolutions and paradigm shifts

Uranus in Gemini

25/26 April 2026 to 22 May 2033
3/4 Feb 2026 – Uranus direct in Taurus
25/26 April 2026 – Uranus enters Gemini until 2032/33

Uranus moves out of Taurus and into Gemini on the 25/26 April 2026. What ever was happening in your life during the last Uranus-Gemini transit of 1941-1949 (for the elders of our world), will be coming back up for review/reflection during 2026-33, gifting us the opportunity of responding to this current Uranus-Gemini cycle from a higher octave.

From 2026 onwards, Uranus drifts into Gemini like a spark moving through the mind of the world. This is a transit of awakening through thought, language, and connection. Uranus, the liberator, meets Gemini, the messenger, and together they stir the air with new ideas, unexpected insights, and the feeling that reality itself is learning how to speak in a new way.

During this time, the collective mind quickens. Information moves faster, conversations become catalysts, and old stories lose their grip. How we learn, share, and make meaning begins to shift. Words carry more charge. Questions open doors. Curiosity becomes a spiritual practice, guiding us away from rigid thinking and toward living, breathing intelligence.

On an inner level, Uranus in Gemini awakens the intuitive mind. Sudden realizations, flashes of knowing, and new ways of understanding ripple through the nervous system. There is a call to follow what fascinates you, to let learning be playful, fluid, and embodied rather than forced. The mind wants space, lightness, and freedom to wander.

Yet this transit also asks for gentleness. Too much noise can scatter the soul. Uranus in Gemini teaches discernment—how to listen beneath the chatter, how to choose clarity over overload. When the mind softens, insight arrives effortlessly.

Spiritually, Uranus in Gemini opens channels between higher intelligence and human awareness. This is a period of awakening through insight rather than endurance. Revelation arrives through conversation, synchronicity, and sudden knowing. The voice becomes a tool of awakening. Speaking truth, asking better questions, and listening beyond words become acts of liberation.

Neptune – The Dreamer & Dissolver

165 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac

Neptune softens the edges of reality and invites humanity into the mystic, spiritual, and imaginal realms. Neptune represents the vast ocean of consciousness beyond the ego — where boundaries dissolve and we are reminded that life is guided by forces far greater than logic alone.

Neptune governs dreams, intuition, imagination, spirituality, compassion, and transcendence. It is where we merge with something larger than ourselves: the collective, the divine, the mythic, the eternal. Under Neptune’s influence, we are drawn toward beauty, art, poetry, music, and spiritual experience — anything that softens the edges of reality and opens the heart to wonder.

At its highest expression, Neptune is unconditional love. It dissolves separation and awakens empathy, reminding us that all beings are interconnected. It governs prayer, meditation, devotion, and mystical states where time, identity, and certainty melt away. Neptune invites surrender — not as weakness, but as trust in a deeper current guiding our lives.

Yet Neptune also carries shadow. Where boundaries dissolve, confusion, illusion, escapism, denial, and deception can arise. Neptune blurs clarity, making it difficult to see situations — or ourselves — as they truly are. Addiction, avoidance, saviour complexes, and idealising people or systems often surface when Neptune energy is ungrounded or unconscious.

Neptune asks us to refine discernment. It teaches that spiritual truth is not found through force or control, but through sensitivity, humility, and inner listening. Its wisdom comes not from facts, but from feeling — from subtle signals, symbols, dreams, and synchronicities.

Neptune in Aries

30 March 2025 to 23/24 March 2039
Neptune in Aries – 30 March 2025 to 22 October 2025
[Noting Neptune moves retrograde in Aries on 4/5 July 2025]
Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces – 22 October 2025 to 26 January 2026
Neptune in Aries – 26 January 2026 to 21 May 2038
Neptune enters Taurus – 21 May 2038 to 21 October 2038
Neptune re-enters Aries – 21 October 2038 to 23 March 2039

Where Neptune dissolves, dreams, and opens the veil, Aries initiates, asserts, and dares to begin. Together, they awaken a new myth of courage — one rooted not in domination, but in soul-led action.

This transit dissolves old identities that were built on fear, conformity, or inherited belief systems. Neptune softens the edges of the ego while Aries insists on authenticity. The result is a re-enchantment of selfhood: Who am I when I act from spirit rather than survival? Personal will becomes a sacred force, guided by intuition rather than impulse.

On a collective level, Neptune in Aries stirs spiritual activism. There is a growing intolerance for false leaders, hollow authority, and movements without heart. This is not passive mysticism — it is devotion expressed through courage. We are asked to embody our beliefs, to live our prayers, to take inspired risks in service of something greater than the self.

Shadow work is woven into this passage. Aries can rush; Neptune can blur. Together, they may expose illusions around heroism, saviour narratives, or spiritual bypassing. The medicine lies in discernment — learning when to act and when to surrender, when to fight and when to soften.

At its highest expression, Neptune in Aries births a new spiritual warrior archetype— one who leads with compassion, moves with intuition, and trusts the invisible currents guiding their path.

Pluto – The Alchemist of Power & Rebirth

248 Years to transit all 12 Houses of the Zodiac

Pluto is the alchemist of the zodiac. Its energy moves slowly, deeply, and irrevocably, reshaping life from the inside out. Wherever Pluto travels, superficial layers are stripped away, revealing what is real, raw, and essential. This is the planet of death and rebirth — not as an ending, but as a sacred cycle of transformation that clears space for truth to emerge.

Pluto governs the unseen realms: the subconscious, the shadow, and the forces that operate beneath surface awareness. Its energy is concerned with power — how it is claimed, distorted, surrendered, and ultimately reclaimed. Themes of control, intensity, obsession, trauma, and profound healing often arise under Pluto’s influence. Nothing remains hidden for long when Pluto is involved; this planet insists on honesty at the deepest level

Unlike faster-moving planets, Pluto works over long stretches of time. Its transits may unfold across years or even decades, but their effects are permanent. Pluto dismantles structures that are no longer aligned — identities, relationships, belief systems, institutions, and collective myths. Often this process arrives through crisis, loss, or confrontation with uncomfortable truths. Yet within every breakdown Pluto brings is the seed of rebirth. What survives has been purified.

On a collective level, Pluto transits correspond with periods of social and structural upheaval. Corruption is exposed, outdated systems collapse, and suppressed truths rise to the surface. These times can feel destabilising, yet they carry evolutionary purpose. Pluto clears what is false so that something more authentic, more aligned with collective truth, can take its place.

Spiritually, Pluto teaches that true power comes from within. It reminds us that surrender is not weakness, but initiation, and that nothing real can be destroyed. What falls away under Pluto was never meant to endure. Through its uncompromising lens, Pluto strips life back to essence — and from that essence, a deeper and more truthful way of being is born.

At its core, Pluto is the force of evolution through truth. It is not gentle, but it is liberating. It does not offer comfort, but it offers freedom. Pluto asks us to release who we thought we were, so we may rise as who we truly are.

Pluto in Aquarius

Pluto re-enters Aquarius (from Capricorn) –  20/21 January 2024
Pluto moves retrograde in Aquarius – 23 May 2024
Pluto retrograde re-enters Capricorn – 2 September 2024
Pluto moved direct in Capricorn – 13 October 2024
Pluto re-enters Aquarius – 20 November 2024
Pluto enters Pisces – 9 March 2043
Pluto retrograde re-enters Aquarius – 31 August 2043
Pluto re-enters Pisces – 19 January 2044

Pluto doesn’t destroy for cruelty; it clears the way for authentic rebirth.

Pluto in Aquarius marks a profound evolutionary chapter for humanity. This is a long, slow transit that reshapes the collective from the inside out, transforming how power moves through society, technology, community, and consciousness itself. Where Pluto brings depth, exposure, and rebirth, Aquarius brings innovation, vision, and a future-focused lens. Together, they signal a radical re-patterning of the systems that organise human life.

At its core, Pluto in Aquarius dismantles outdated hierarchies. Power that has been hoarded, centralised, or enforced through rigid authority structures is exposed and challenged. This transit questions who holds influence, how decisions are made, and whether systems truly serve the collective. Grassroots movements, decentralised models, and new forms of leadership emerge as Pluto clears space for power to circulate rather than dominate.

Technology is a central arena of transformation during Pluto in Aquarius. Innovations accelerate rapidly, particularly in digital systems, artificial intelligence, communication networks, and scientific discovery. Yet Pluto ensures that technology is not neutral; it exposes ethical shadows, misuse of power, surveillance, and control. This period forces humanity to confront how technology shapes freedom, autonomy, and human connection — and to choose consciously how it will be used.

Pluto in Aquarius also reshapes the idea of community. Traditional definitions of belonging dissolve as new networks form across borders, identities, and belief systems. This is a transit of collective awakening, where individuals are called to recognise their role within the whole. The tension between individuality and group consciousness becomes pronounced, asking us to balance personal sovereignty with collective responsibility.

On a psychological and spiritual level, Pluto in Aquarius transforms belief systems and mental frameworks. Fixed ideas about reality, progress, and “the way things must be” are dismantled. This transit invites radical re-imagining — not just of society, but of consciousness itself. New philosophies, social experiments, and visionary ideas arise, often born from crisis, disruption, or collective unrest.

Pluto in Aquarius is not comfortable change. It can feel destabilising, shocking, or polarising, especially as long-standing systems collapse. Yet its deeper purpose is liberation. By confronting where freedom has been compromised — technologically, socially, or ideologically — Pluto in Aquarius clears the path for a future rooted in truth, equity, and conscious participation.

Ultimately, this transit initiates humanity into a new relationship with power and progress. It teaches that the future cannot be built on outdated foundations. Pluto in Aquarius asks us to evolve — not through force, but through awareness — and to co-create systems that honour both individuality and the collective good.
