Why Astrologer Aliza Kelly Says You Should Brace for This “Deeply Unprecedented” February Event
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are? Not with astrologer Aliza Kelly on our speed dial.
Moments into her exclusive interview with E! News, the spiritual expert explained why she had been eyeing 2026 for quite some time, calling it "a very powerful, impactful and paradigm-shifting year."
In other words, she summed up, brace yourself because "2026 is just back-to-back-to-back intensity."
The good news? You've already navigated through a few of the year's most, uh, star-studded events.
After Neptune moved into the sign of Aries Jan. 26—something that last took place during the Civil War in 1861—Saturn and Neptune met at zero degrees of Aries for the first time in roughly 9,000 years Feb. 20.
And for those that don't have their birth chart committed to memory, allow the Horoscope Weekly podcaster to illuminate.
Saturn and Neptune last met in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell, but they haven't connected at zero degrees—an angle Kelly called "the beginning of all creation"—for thousands of years.
"This is so deeply unprecedented that we have to go back to early, early history of civilizations to see what was going on then," Kelly explained. "Anything that happens at zero degrees is an initiation. It is a massive touch point."
As in, "We should expect some paradigm shifts to occur," she continued, "especially around the concept of fighting for what we believe in."
And for those who fully buy in, that's just the start of what the year has in store.
Eclipse season wraps up its month-long stay in mid-March, Kelly said, meaning the entirety of that weeks-long stretch "is going to be filled with lots of change, volatility, transformation." Though she noted that lunar eclipses "tend to be a little bit more internally focused," meaning this will be a moment of reflection "and really offer some time for processing."

Then, Uranus moves into Gemini on April 25 for the first time since the Civil War. It's an event that only took place previously "during times of big, huge uprisings and upheavals in the world," Kelly detailed, i.e. the Revolutionary War in 1775, World War II in the 1940s and then the Civil War. So, you know, buckle up.
Fortunately, June seems to offer a moment for healing as the comet Chiron moves into Taurus.
Though Kelly shared that anyone with Taurus in their birth chart "is going to experience big healing," there's more than enough to go around.
The last time this particular positioning occured was 1976, said Kelly, who noted the 1970s was a time when society was "recognizing the human impact on physical spaces and the environment."
So, she would anticipate that, as Chiron travels through Taurus between 2026 and 2033, "thinking about the Earth and our relationship to it on a personal and collective level is going to really become more significant."
June will also close out with Jupiter entering Leo, an event that promises to leave people feeling #blessed.
"This is going to shift us out of sad girl energy into performance, theatrics, big creative expressions and passionate endeavors," Kelly predicted. "This is a really, really fiery and beautiful, blazing energy."
And more growth is in store later this summer as a solar eclipse takes place in Leo Aug. 12 and a lunar eclipse occurs in Pisces Aug. 28, shared Kelly, who breaks down the intricacies of all of these events in her private community, the Constellation Club.
Come Oct. 3, we'll see Venus in retrograde, what Kelly called "a beautiful, magical, mystical backward spin related to the planet of love and values and beauty."
From then until Oct. 25, "We're going to see what we need," said Kelly, "what's going to help us get the things that we want to bring into our life, whether that's money and finances or it's romance. Venus is in charge of all that."
And though she acknowledged we may "all need a big nap in November and December," she fully believes the year will wake us up in all the best ways.
"When change of this magnitude takes place, there is no way it could feel easy and seamless," Kelly admitted. However, "I think it's important to remember that big changes, while in the moment might feel really, really challenging, they are a necessary part of the growth and the evolution that anything that's healthy and alive has to go through."
But if you're hoping for a little extra guidance, she's got you, sharing what's ahead for each of the zodiac signs this year.

Aries (March 21–April 19): “2026 is a defining year for you. With both Neptune and Saturn entering your sign (on January 26 and February 13, respectively), you’re stepping into a long-term cycle that reshapes your identity, direction, and sense of purpose. Ultimately, this is about building a life that actually reflects who you are becoming. Leadership, courage, and self-trust are required, and by the end of the year, you’ll feel far more grounded in your authority. That's a slay.”
Taurus (April 20- May 20): “Healing becomes tangible in 2026 as Chiron (the wounded healer) begins its journey into Taurus on June 19. This year highlights your relationship to safety, stability, and self-worth, particularly around money, the body, and long-term security. While the process may feel subtle at first, you’re laying the groundwork for deeper confidence and resilience. By year’s end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what truly sustains you.”

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): “Uranus officially enters your sign on April 25, launching a once-in-84-years cycle of personal reinvention.

This is a year of breakthroughs—especially in learning, communication, and creative expression.”
Cancer (June 21- July 22): “2026 brings major momentum in your public and professional life, Cancer!

Leo (July 23-August 22): “Your confidence and creativity get a powerful boost when Jupiter enters Leo on June 30. This marks the beginning of a year-long expansion around self-expression, leadership, and visibility—and this has happened since 2014, so it's a long time coming.

By the end of the year, you’ll feel more aligned with your purpose—and more celebrated for who you truly are.”
Virgo (August 23-September 22): “When Neptune leaves your relationship sector after a 14-year journey, clarity returns in a big way. 2026 offers fresh beginnings in partnerships, helping you release confusion, projection, or unrealistic expectations that has been cramping your style for nearly 15 years. You’re learning to build connections rooted in honesty and mutual respect. This is a year for redefining commitment—both to others and to yourself.”
Libra (September 23-October 23): “Relationships take center stage in 2026 as Neptune and Saturn move into your partnership zone (on January 26 and February 13, respectively).

Scorpio (October 23–November 21): “Jupiter (the planet of expansion) moves into Leo on June 30, activating the area of your chart around career, legacy, professional success. This powerful movement is going to encourage you to think bigger about the impact you’re leaving behind. This is a massive year for long-term planning, professional growth, and meaningful contributions. You’re being asked to invest in what matters most—not just for now, but for the future you’re building.”
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): “Expansion comes through exploration in 2026 as Jupiter moves into your travel and growth sector. Whether through literal travel, education, or spiritual development, this year widens your worldview. New experiences challenge your assumptions and reignite your sense of purpose. By the end of the year, you’ll feel reconnected to possibility... which is very Sagittarius-coded.”
Capricorn (December 22–January 19): “Chiron’s move into the area of your chart around joy, creativity, and self-expression. In 2026, you’re learning that fulfillment doesn’t have to be earned through struggle alone. This year invites you to soften, take emotional risks, and reconnect with pleasure. You're allowed to have a little fun, Capricorn! In fact, it would actually be good for you.”
Sarayut Thaneerat
Aquarius (January 20–February 18): “Jupiter (the planet of expansion) enters your opposite sign in June, shifting focus toward relationships and collaboration. In 2026, your great breakthroughs will come via meaningful partnerships that expand your perspective and influence. This year reminds you that shared vision can amplify your impact. By choosing the right connections, you unlock exciting new opportunities.”
Pisces (February 19–March 20): “With Neptune finally leaving your sign after being there since 2011 (!!!), 2026 marks a turning point. After years of feeling a bit lost and aimless, clarity and integration take over. You’re ready to ground your dreams in reality and apply what you’ve learned in tangible ways. This year helps you step forward with confidence and purpose, shifting your attention to your values and worth so that you can guarantee you're adequately compensated for your talents.”
