We must all breathe a collective sigh of relief because 2025 was astrologically one of the most draining, emotionally challenging, and tough years. While 2026 brings its fair share of retrogrades and astrological events that will make you feel you’ve landed in the upside down, this year promises to be a reset. 2026 is going to be the year of number 1, giving you a fresh start, quite literally. It is time to rewrite who you are, take risks based on the lessons you’ve learnt, and trust your gut instincts above all. The new year brings big commitment energy, but will also teach us to detach and let go when things and people no longer align with us. So, dive in and read your horoscope for 2026 to know what the universe is brewing for you.

1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Dear Aries, the horoscope for 2026 is asking you to stick to your reality, make logical choices, and accept the truth of people and situations, no matter how harsh it is. This year isn’t about bullshitting and sappy crying over people. It is the year where you rebuild yourself, put effort and energy into achieving your goals, and appreciate people who can keep up because there is no slowing down for you. You’ll also need to pay extra attention towards striking a balance of give and take in your relationships. There will be something solid happening in your love life by midyear, but make sure you know all the terms and conditions that come with it.

AAE Pro Tip: Opportunities will line up throughout the year. Grab the right ones at the right time, and you’ll hit the jackpot.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Being ambitious is always a great trait to have, Taurus, but the coming year asks you to choose your peace over everything else. Important conversations can lead to big decisions, so be prepared and pick your words wisely. Communication will play a big role on both personal and professional fronts, and when you speak with sincerity, you’ll be heard and understood. Your love life will demand a lot of time and attention, and there’s some major commitment on the cards as well. So, start practising that work-life balance because you don’t want to miss out on either and be miserable. One piece of advice that will get you through the year is to remember not to isolate yourself and seek help from the people around you.

AAE Pro Tip: Plan and execute quarterly vacations to avoid burnout and to maintain your well-being.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

You are a curious cat by nature who loves to move around, craves an ever-changing environment, and thrives on spontaneity. While all of that will still be a part of the coming year, some things are getting laid in concrete for you, Gemini. And as scary as that might sound, it is going to be exciting, and you’re going to welcome the change with open arms. Just have faith in your potential and in the universe to guide you to the stars. Your love life will also see major changes this year, mostly positive and affirming, and both you and your partner will grow through what you go through.

AAE Pro Tip: Pay attention to the smallest details. They matter more than the bigger picture.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Dear Cancer, the horoscope for 2026 is bringing commitment, companionship, and clarity for you. While 2025 might have been a turmoil of picking between your heart and mind, 2026 will give you clear choices. But making those choices is what will change your destiny, Cancer, so think before you decide. Whatever you put into action this year will stay for the long term. Be as picky as you can be, so when you finally decide, you are 100 per cent sure of your choice. Your love life will be favoured heavily, and you might end up with a proposal. If things go well, who knows, you might seal the deal with someone this year.

AAE Pro Tip: Be forgiving, but don’t be gullible, and don’t keep giving people endless chances.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Things are looking bright and hopeful for your personal and professional affairs, Leo. But to achieve the breezy and effortless nature of tasks, you must stop putting up with people, jobs, and relationships that drain you. The vibe for 2026 is clear: you are not overextending yourself out of sheer comfort and letting yourself dull down in a toxic environment. Find a solution, set some firm boundaries, and introduce more people from your personal life into your work life. This year might be the time to merge personal and professional for good and build something solid and fruitful. Speaking of your personal life, romance will blossom if you make more effort and act less nonchalantly.

AAE Pro Tip: If you keep hustling in the wrong places, you’ll never reach anywhere. Move out and make things happen for yourself.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

In 2025, you gave up a lot of yourself to suit others and make them comfortable. But 2026 is bringing back the focus on you, and it wants you to treat yourself as the main character. The horoscope for 2026 asks you to be less apologetic, be more out there, express yourself without guilt trips, and cut off people who no longer match your vibe. This is a year of starting afresh, so clear your plate and keep what honours you, emotionally and physically. It is a good year to build on relationships that have always supported you. This year will also take you and your partner on a journey of rediscovering each other.

AAE Pro Tip: Family matters and relationships might cause misery and push you to step down once and for all.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The horoscope for 2026 is bringing your relationships into focus, and the year is all about committing, celebrating, and making some new friendships on the go. Your love life will see a major shift, and you’ll feel more in sync with your partner than ever before. This is a great time to build a foundation or take your equation to the next level. At work, you might find yourself wondering if you’ve made the right decisions or if there is still time to change courses and find a new way. It is your life; you write the rules, Libra, so be spontaneous, be flexible, and be open to change, no matter how scary it feels. The universe rewards those who show courage and stay accountable, so take charge and lead the way.

AAE Pro Tip: Meet new people. They might give you a unique and interesting perspective on some aspect of life.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

2025 wasn’t the easiest on you, but by the end of it, you had some semblance of what the next year is going to bring. 2026 is bringing a mindful, nurturing, and giving year for you. Relationships that have gone through the worst ups and downs will see major improvement and will gain your trust in their own time. Your love life will also move ahead in a stable direction with lots of good surprises and learning moments that will keep coming along the way. Your professional life will also bring a sense of belonging, and you’ll be able to take on a lot more if you put your mind and heart into it.

AAE Pro Tip: You might have to handle stuff alone at times, but if you need help, it will always be around the corner.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Looks like 2026 is going to be your year, Sagittarius. Your creativity is being recognised, and you’ll realise you have a lot more potential than what you showcase in your boardroom meetings. Expand your vision and see if you could pull off something of your own this year. Luck is favouring you heavily in 2026 and giving you plenty of chances to prove yourself and win people over. You’re also more drawn to doing things that excite you rather than following the norm. Maintain a level head, and you’ll be able to strike a balance between work and pleasure this year. Speaking of pleasure, your love life is going to get a makeover, and whoever you end up with in 2026 might be ‘the one’.

AAE Pro Tip: Work hard, play harder, and rest the hardest to avoid burnout.

10. Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

2025 might have passed in a nutshell, but 2026 is the year where you truly shine bright, Capricorn. You’ve been in the building phase of something great, and this year will make you realise you are enough and worth so much more. Quietly put in the hard work, get all hands on deck, and make a plan that allows you to be flexible and adapt more effortlessly. You might have to tune in sometimes to understand what you really want and to stay on track, but otherwise, this year is going to be great for teamwork. But don’t forget who you are as an individual, and keep striving to be a better human, friend, and partner. Your love life will bloom into something beautiful, and your friendship with your partner will make the bond more delightful.

AAE Pro Tip: Be an all-rounder, but don’t be all over the place. Plan, strategise, and then execute.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

The vibe for 2026 is not detached and doing it all by yourself, Aquarius, and you must prepare to dive headfirst into the year. This year is all about building new connections and reviving old ones, participating and being involved with family, friends, and colleagues. Collaborative plans and projects, on the personal and professional fronts, will be rewarding and will make everyone see the kind of skills and talent you possess. This year asks you to step into the limelight and take credit when it’s due, Aquarius. Your love life will also feel a lot more fun and adventurous, so keep planning vacations and running away once in a while.

AAE Pro Tip: Take on more classes, courses, and projects that help you stay connected with your inner self.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

The horoscope for 2026 asks you to tap into a softer, more empathetic version of you and let your sincerity and kindness shine. You are the master of emotions, Pisces, but this year isn’t about sulking around and crying for people’s attention. It’s about channelling your inner self and reciprocating to those who have always been there for you. Others? Give them a cold shoulder and move on. Finance, career, and family will be fulfilling if you make the right choices and don’t let your fragile ego take centrestage. Be more giving, but only to causes and people that deserve it. You will feel more aligned with your present self post the first half of the year; till then, keep working on yourself.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t let difficult situations make you lose faith. Practise patience, and you’ll be rewarded.

Happy New Year, folks! Go paint the town red and step into another year of fabulous!
