Until June 30th, a wonderful, refreshing focus on your private world or intimate life continues. This can mean a deepening of a relationship or an increased understanding of your inner workings–a boost in your relationship with yourself!

Your intimate life is expanding, bringing you more joy and new discoveries during this period, which lasts just over a year.

This influence is already in progress as you begin the year 2026–it occurs from June 9th, 2025, until June 30th, 2026. You learn to embrace inner change to feel more empowered during this cycle. There are more chances to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.

Otherwise, it’s a time to grab opportunities that help you feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations and musings are deep and lead to fruitful discoveries. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through or from others, whether it’s about a significant refund, an easier time acquiring loans or mortgages, an increase in a partner’s income, or the inheriting of something valuable.

Combining your resources, talents, or money with a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part–it all depends on your current circumstances.

These matters can relate to your personality, independence, self-image, health, or vitality and initiative since Jupiter rules these matters in your solar chart. There may be a metamorphosis pertaining to your personal reputation, initiative, or independence. There could also be a significant investment. Combining your resources with someone else’s assets could figure strongly.

Because Jupiter is your sign ruler and is now in your solar eighth house, others might notice a more introspective, less impulsive personality at this time. It can be a time when you approach life with more depth, and others can sense a more serious tone in you.

Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. Be wise when/if lending and borrowing.

Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems. It might also be a significant period for sexual discovery and depth.

It’s a potent period for psychological growth.

There can be times when the greater joy you experience in your intimate world can clash with responsibilities elsewhere, and you’ll need to do some balancing acts.

Fortunately, especially in June, others are responsive, and some of the usual barriers and boundaries dissolve, allowing you to connect with your deeper needs and ambitions. New insights about yourself or someone special in your life can be motivating. There may be an opportunity to strengthen a connection. You find it easier to open up about a passion or about a matter that you’ve been keeping under wraps. It’s a time to accept others’ help, share responsibilities, or combine resources or talents to advance your goals.

Energies are good for psychotherapy, counseling, and purging, as they help you see the root of problems. It’s also a good time for long-term financial planning and strengthening your financial picture. Connecting with helpful people or information can boost your emotional or domestic world.

From June 30th onward, a new theme emerges in your life, and it’s a wonderfully refreshing one! Jupiter moves into your spirit sector for a stay of a little over a year.

You feel more optimistic and confident about managing your life in this trend that lasts from June 30th, 2026, until July 26th, 2027. You seek to live life more fully.

During this timeframe, your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure are developing, growing, and expanding. You feel more courageous and spirited as you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in. This transit is a happy one, although it can be subtle since it runs so smoothly. We may not always notice when things are purring along well.

At this time in your life, you’re less likely to sweat the small stuff. You see the broader perspective on life, and you generally feel supported, so minor inconveniences don’t stress you out quite as quickly.

Your positive outlook is notable during this cycle. It’s wise to aim to learn as much as you can now in preparation for the next cycle, running from July 2027 to August 2028, that will put your career on center stage. You’ll want to be ready for that opportunity period.

Your views on life in a broad sense are changing, growing, and maturing. Connections with faraway cultures, people, or a wider knowledge base can open up opportunities for personal growth. Teaching and sharing knowledge can be in strong focus. It’s a good–perhaps even ideal– time for publishing, writing, and media.

You might consider fine-tuning your talents and skills with higher education or experience during this cycle.

New learning experiences and “life” experiences (adventures, travel, new activities, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge.

During this period, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might learn a new language or take on other exciting studies.

Communicating with people far away could be in focus. You might publish your ideas or take a stronger or special interest in writing and sharing. Learning a foreign language could come more easily for you during this period. You can feel particularly inspired to grow, improve, explore, discover, and move outside of your comfort zone, and building your personal confidence can be integral to this. It’s an excellent time to feel more motivated. People and experiences outside of your norm can more deeply affect or inspire you.

You’re likely to enjoy opportunities to expand your experiences and impress others. Education can be transformative now, leading to meaningful opportunities. Picking up new interests and expanding your knowledge can profoundly impact your sense of independence, vitality, initiative, and self-image.

You could be putting more energy and personality into educational, spiritual, or travel pursuits. Pursuing higher knowledge and wisdom can be a significant motivator now. You could also be more principled and compelled to seek out important truths. Your outlook is more philosophical during this period.

This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! You might improve relationships with legal, educational, or religious figures in your life.

In July, there can be challenges to manage, especially if you’re struggling with work, routine, and schedules. You crave more time and energy to spontaneously explore the world around you, make contact with others, and expand your mind. However, you need to find a balance so that you can work and get your life into order, including your health, as too much on your plate can be an issue.

There can be disagreements about beliefs and opinions, issues with the need to update skills or knowledge, or perhaps a struggle with faith in what you’re doing. It’s important to look for ways to cut back and simplify your life in key ways now. Watch for exaggeration and obsession now. Keep things real. Aim to seek a balance between your attention to routine and responsibility, and your desire for discovery and exploration.

Fortunately, in July, August, September, and late November, especially, people appreciate your sincerity. Sound energy is with you for expanding your horizons through creative endeavors. Love can be magical, and your powers of attraction run high. Openness to seeing another point of view can be key. You could be in the position to inspire others through what you create. You’re working on improving and embracing your self-expressive, creative side, which helps boost you all around. You might reach a broader audience, and the feedback feeds the flames of your own inspiration. Communication and transportation issues can also improve during this period. As you welcome more leisure and entertainment time in your life, your optimism improves. Energies support romance, children, creativity, publishing, travel, and self-expression. Matters of the heart can be inspiring.

There can be beautiful connections made through travel or educational endeavors or shared adventures. Trips or learning experiences could be especially rewarding for you – they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You have more faith in yourself and in life itself.

It’s a good time for new creative or educational pursuits and projects. Romantic connections can be significant now. You might connect with people or information supporting your creative expression, love, personal fulfillment and enjoyment, education, and spirit.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your 2026 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away from itself.

Home & Family
Romance & Creativity
Entertainment
Hobbies, Pastimes, & Leisure

From February 13th onward, areas requiring more discipline include romance, creativity, and leisure time.

It’s a time for adopting a “back to basics” approach to dating and romance, pleasure, children, hobbies, entertainment, leisure, and creative pastimes. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are suitable will endure and strengthen.

You had a sneak peek of this energy for a few months last year, but from February 2026 onward, you’re consistently in this cycle that will stick with you until April 2028.

You’re likely to feel this transit most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Sagittarius. This year, it will influence those Sagittarians born from approximately November 21st to December 6th and with a Sagittarius Ascendant of 0-15 degrees the most. Those born later (those born in the second half of Sagittarius) will experience the strongest phase in 2027 and 2028.

Tests can come to your romantic life during this cycle. For single Sagittarians, there can be some reluctance to enter into light-hearted romantic relationships. If you do go forward, you do so cautiously, and you are attracted to more mature or stable people during this cycle. Because you are more discriminating now, the pickings might be (or appear to be) slim.

Those dating might sometimes feel lonely, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for now. An existing romance may face tests, but strong ones strengthen further.

Those Sagittarians who are in committed partnerships could find the romantic or fun element of the relationship becomes a vital area of focus during this cycle, for better or worse. Keeping this aspect of your partnership alive requires work. For example, a romantic partner could feel like a “heavy” at this time, and you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people’s company.

For those single and looking, be careful not to project a negative attitude without realizing it, as this can intimidate some. Those of you who are parents could feel the weight of responsibilities towards children during this cycle. They may require more attention now, although this can ultimately be rewarding.

However, for many others, this is a time when a relationship stabilizes, and this dependability feels good. In fact, this can be a generally more stable or steady time in your life, which can be exactly what you need at the moment.

Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might get serious about a hobby, or you might discover there’s less time for creative pursuits, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. You could be putting more money or resources into your leisure life, hobbies, entertainment, or pastimes. Romance and money can tie together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on–and putting a lot of effort into–creative hobbies or pastimes.

You can be filled with desire–or circumstances create a need–for more structure in all or any of these areas of life, including children, romance, creativity, and recreation.

This can be a truly wonderful time for feeling balanced and steady. In truth, Saturn in this position is supporting your Sagittarius Sun or Ascendant as it occupies a sister Fire sign. Firming up areas of your life that have become wasteful can benefit you in many ways. It’s a generally good time for realizing a dream or goal, particularly along creative lines.

The last time a similar theme occurred was April 1996 to June 1998 and October 1998 to February 1999.

Especially in October, circumstances challenge your need to simplify and structure your life. Attention to your studies, travels, or adventures can seem to clash with this mission. A minor setback, obstacle, or stubbornness can pause your plans. Part of you wants to go all in. However, with some slight adjustments, you’ll be back on track quickly.

In February, some disillusionment is possible in your romantic life or regarding your leisure time, but it’s something that opens your eyes to a new beginning or that puts you on the road to improvement.

Otherwise, enjoying more self-discipline reflects well on you as you feel stronger, more fulfilled, and increasingly more “whole.” In truth, you seem to be at your happiest when you’re feeling better organized and disciplined.

Those of you who have been deliberating over a relationship matter might be inclined to seal the deal, close a deal, or to make a commitment. A child can receive an award or there can be an event or conversation that strengthens your bond.

This might also be a time for seeing someone in a more realistic light, and this may be a child, a lover, or a friend. If you allow yourself to be realistic about what a person can or cannot do, feels or does not feel, then you can ultimately put more faith and trust in that person. Loyalty and reliability are qualities that are most important to express at this time.

Particularly in March and August, these themes are well-supported. These are good times for fine-tuning long-term goals, and are strong for creative pursuits, publishing, education, legal matters, and travel. Others take you a little more seriously. You can be recognized as an authority on a subject or matter. You’re successful at redefining goals so that they are more realistic and doable.

A stronger sense of meaning and purpose drives you. A building interest in broadening your mental experiences and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through higher education or exploring different philosophies of life, is with you.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Routines, Daily Affairs

Your 2026 Sagittarius Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Work
Health
Habits & Routines
Partnerships
Negotiations

Until April 25th, you continue the long-term trend in which your work, daily routines, and health are more unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting! You can bring fresh insight to your work, though there are times when you’re impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy for them tends to fluctuate.

Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself regarding work, service, or daily life. While it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” It can be challenging to connect with your intuition on a schedule, and that’s what you need to manage now–finding the right balance.

This influence is leaving this area of your solar chart on April 25th, which is significant, as it’s been with you since 2018-2019!

It’s an important time to stay open to change and to current developments regarding your work or health. The most modern technologies can transform your work. Staying up to date on recent developments in your field gives you a nice edge.

During this period, watch for nervousness, tension, and changes that interfere with your comfort, health, and equilibrium, or with your work output.

It would be best if you had more excitement or variety in your work, and you seem to do better when setting your own pace. Jobs may be freelance or unusual during this cycle.

It’s a time to focus on improving your practical world, work, finances, or health in groundbreaking ways. It’s essential to watch for stressing yourself out, however. Unreliable routines or erratic chores and work schedules may take their toll on you this year without care and management. Inattention to details can also be a problem if your approach is slightly slapdash.

Novel approaches can bring in fresh energy and wonderful benefits. Changing your definition of comfort or work can figure strongly and positively. It’s a time when you think and talk more frequently about your health or work.

The temptation to break free from the lifeless aspects of a job is strong, and some of you will feel such inner restlessness that you feel you need to make a big change.

Better times for these things and opportunities are especially likely in 2026 in January, when being open to different ways of doing your everyday life can improve your life in significant ways. You’re approaching matters with progressiveness, spirit, and practicality, which is a winning combo. It’s a good time to make changes in your home life or with living conditions that reflect well in your work or on your health–and vice versa.

From April 25th onward, a new theme replaces the one above. During this trend, partnerships and relationships with others can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting.

This may mean you’re more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners during this period, or you attract these types of people into your experience.

You are learning to give others freedom, and this isn’t always easy. Trying to force convention or tradition on partnerships will be a lesson in frustration during this period. Some of you might quickly enter into a new partnership.

This long-term trend ties your sector of communication to your sector of partnership — it’s an important time for sharing, learning, and communicating with a partner.

There can certainly be times when an unreliable or erratic theme with one-to-one relationships can disrupt other life departments. Indeed, an unpredictable theme in relationships can compete with or disrupt other life department goals. However, particularly in July, as you open your mind to new ways of interacting and connecting, new worlds open to you. It’s a powerful time for romance, creativity, and inspired interaction. A spirit of openness helps to bring new opportunities into your life. Others seek your viewpoint, or they gravitate to your insights and ideas.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2026: Jupiter is your planetary ruler.

Following your planetary ruler in recent years can give us a rough outline of personality transitions and areas of focus for you recently. In 2019, Jupiter spent much of the year in your sign, and you may have been coming out of your shell and recognizing important goals and ideals. In 2020, you wanted to lock things down. It wasn’t as much about self-discovery as it was about taking concrete steps towards realizing your objectives. You may have wanted to settle in and enjoy your recent wins!

In 2021, Jupiter divided its time between your sector of communications and home/family. You were spreading your wings on a mental level. You enjoyed more personal interests and had much to learn and discover.

In 2022, Jupiter divided its time again. While Jupiter was in Pisces, it was a mostly comfortable period when home, family, and your personal life took more priority. However, while Jupiter was in Aries, you came out of your shell, embracing your playful or creative side.

In 2023, the Jupiter in Aries self-discovery period continued, but only until mid-May. From mid-May forward, your determination came to the fore.

In 2024, the practical side of life took on more importance until May, and you were often working, attending to health, following better routines, and improving your lifestyle and habits. From May forward, life was far more interactive on a social level.

In 2025, you were focusing far more on relating, chatting, communicating, give-and-take, feedback, and balance. After June in 2025, you were a little more insular, enjoying more focus, specialization, and intimacy.

This insular theme continues in 2026 until June 30th–your intimate life has a powerful hold on you. You want to specialize. However, from June 30th onward, you’re far more outgoing, adventurous, proud, and outwardly affectionate.

Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer: November 11, 2025-March 10, 2026

Jupiter Retrograde in Leo: December 12, 2026-April 12, 2027

Jupiter’s retrograde periods every year are natural cycles of introspection and extra rest or periods of reflection, and in 2026, Jupiter is retrograde until March 10th and then from December 12th to the end of the year (and until April 12th, 2027).

In July, August, and early December, Jupiter receives special support, and opportunity periods can be in stronger focus. You can be especially interested in building, growing, learning, improving, and branching out this year.
