The Sun and the Moon are never retrograde.
Mercury Retrograde Periods in 2026
Although not quite as popular as Sun sign astrology, “Mercury Retrograde” has certainly become a buzzword–or buzz phrase–in recent years.
What is Mercury Retrograde? Three, and sometimes four, times a year, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backward in the sky for a period of approximately 3 weeks. “Appears” is the keyword here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backward in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets.
Mercury turns retrograde more frequently than any other planet. It can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun, and whenever it reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, it changes direction.
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind—how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others.
Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.
During these periods, it’s best to check and double-check your work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be understanding if you receive remarks that don’t go over well. Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant it the way you thought they did! Asking “are you sure you meant to say that?” might help.
Get in touch with yourself during this period–it’s an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of looking at life and at yourself. It’s also an ideal cycle in which to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts.

Venus Retrograde in 2026
What is Venus Retrograde? Occasionally, Venus appears to be moving backward in the sky. “Appears” is the keyword here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backward in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Venus is Retrograde approximately 40-43 days every 18 months.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what–and who–we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Brand new financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. There may be delays or confusion in relationships and financial affairs. Read more about Venus Retrograde cycles.
In 2026, Venus has a retrograde cycle, as follows:
Venus Retrograde Cycle from October 3rd to November 13th, 2026, in the signs of Scorpio and Libra:
- On August 31, 2026, Venus enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow) at 22° Libra 52′
- On October 3, 2026, Venus stations and turns retrograde at 8° Scorpio 29′ Rx
- On November 13, 2026, Venus stations and turns direct at 22° Libra 52′
- On December 15, 2026, Venus leaves the Retrograde Zone (post-retrograde shadow) at 8° Scorpio 29′
Mars Retrograde in 2026
What is Mars Retrograde? Occasionally, Mars appears to be moving backward in the sky. “Appears” is the keyword here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backward in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don’t even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Mars is Retrograde approximately 58-81 days every 2+ years.
When Mars is in its retrograde cycle, we are forced to re-assess our current projects, our approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly asserting our desires, we tend towards introspection.
While Mars in direct motion is direct, straightforward, assertive, and aggressive, with Mars in retrograde motion, Mars energy is essentially turned inward–it’s internalized, intensified, personalized, and perhaps pressurized. We can be hesitant about taking action, second-guessing our instincts or our natural impulses rather than acting upon them. The way we react to situations under normal conditions doesn’t necessarily work for us now, or we don’t exactly trust it… Read more about Mars Retrograde cycles.
In 2026, Mars does not turn retrograde.
[The last Mars retrograde cycle was from December 6th, 2024, to February 23rd, 2025, in Leo and Cancer. The next Mars retrograde cycle is from January 10th to April 1st, 2027, in Virgo and Libra.]

Outer Planet Configurations of Interest in 2026
Outer Planet Highlights in 2026 – Time Line
Outer planet transits in the year 2026, excerpted from the Day Watch Report Package. In the Day Watch report package, the following transits are combined with personal transits.
20 January Saturn sextile Uranus 00:17 am EST Tran-Tran 27° Pisces 33′
This is generally a yearlong period (or longer) when there is a general background effect that helps commercialize new trends in science and technology or milk the last out of old ones — as opposed to introducing revolutionary new ideas. As such, it means the opportunity is out there for everyone to get a piece of the pie before the new stuff hits or the latest rage wears out. Whether that will personally impact your life in a specific way is a moot point, as everyone, including yourself, will be affected by this underpinning of commerce where the often-contradictory sides of originality and conservatism for the moment are at peace in the interest of making money.
26 January Neptune conjunct Aries 12:34 pm EST Tran-Tran 00°Aries 00′
Ideals become very much the stuff of action for the next fourteen years, and it’s time to put up or shut up across society. When social visions are illusionary or only wishful, this can be the stuff of generational regret and error. But when they’re well-defined, it can leave a legacy of spiritual and social uplift.
03 February Uranus Stations Direct 05:57 pm EST Tran-Tran 27° Taurus 28′
Uranus Stationary Direct
13 February Saturn conjunct Aries 07:09 pm EST Tran-Tran 00°Aries 00′
A major shift is underway that for the next couple of years will bank the fires of the overeager but hone the edge of the careful. When things stop, they will do so precipitously, and there won’t be any part of “no” not understood. Sudden cutbacks will be equally suddenly restored, but with new restrictions and a better plan to avoid mistakes. The brunt will be taken by those who pushed too hard, too fast.
20 February Saturn conjunct Neptune 11:53 am EST Tran-Tran 00°Aries 45′
This roughly yearlong influence happens every 36 years to everybody, but some cultures experience it more strongly than others, and so do you if you are among such a culture. Being a confluence of fairly inimical principles, it outwardly manifests itself as decay and collapse, along with fertile possibilities for a new order to eventually manifest, since it is also a triple Jupiter cycle. The collapse of the Soviet Union is a case in point. On a higher plane, it can be the time when spiritual aspirations touch ground or, conversely, hit the ground. It’s not something to hang your hat on, but it can teach that the loftiest ideals must produce or perish, while from something rotten, the best crops grow.
10 March Jupiter Stations Direct 10:17 pm EDT Tran-Tran 15° Cancer 05′
Jupiter Stationary Direct
28 March Saturn sextile Pluto 05:27 pm EDT Tran-Tran 05° Aries 10′
This roughly yearlong period describes a background in which previous social conflict has been resolved and the establishment and powers that be seem to be pretty much doing their jobs. While not necessarily of personal impact, this rolling along of the status quo is something you may be able to use or at least be aware of to your advantage. It means you’ll get more mileage out of being a cooperator and someone who does not rock the boat. There is more headway to be made running with the tide than against it, although you may not agree with everything you have to put up with in the process. The time for major departures from the norm is not now, but will come soon enough.
25 April Uranus conjunct Gemini 09:00 pm EDT Tran-Tran 00° Gemini 00′
Scientific and technical discoveries will be unveiled and much relied-upon over the next seven years that may be revealed as overrated, misjudged, or even dangerous in hindsight. Nevertheless, the brilliance of it all dazzles everybody, and eye and mind appeal overcome gut reluctance. The result will be new tools, and afterwards the wisdom of how to use them.
06 May Pluto Stations Retrograde 05:11 am EDT Tran-Tran 05° Aquarius 30’Rx
Pluto Stationary Retrograde
30 June Jupiter conjunct Leo 01:52 am EDT Tran-Tran 00° Leo 00′
New ventures this coming year will tend be all about creativity and rampant possibilities, hang the details. So if you’re a stickler, you may seem a thorn in people’s sides. It’s fun to roll with the blue-sky crowd, but don’t count on cashing in on everything or taking it to the limits first imagined. Still, you hit the mark by aiming high.
07 July Neptune Stations Retrograde 02:57 am EDT Tran-Tran 04° Aquarius 25’Rx
Neptune Stationary Retrograde
15 July Uranus sextile Neptune 04:42 pm EDT Tran-Tran 04° Gemini 24′
This several-year period (most recently centering around 1966) occurs only twice every 172 years and is reputed to have the effect of spiritual progress upon society at large. While too lengthy to have much more than a background effect, it nevertheless sets the tone of the period.
17 July Uranus trine Pluto 11:34 pm EDT Tran-Tran 04° Gemini 30′
This several-year period (most recently centering around 1922) occurs only twice every 128 years and is reputed to have the effect of uniting political power and technological progress in society at large. While too lengthy to have much more than a background effect, it nevertheless sets the tone of the period.
20 July Jupiter trine Neptune 03:25 am EDT Tran-Tran 04° Leo 22′
If what you believe is what you are, then everyone is feeling very self-aware right now, and rather relaxed about it. There is a general feeling, in the background, that dreams and expectations are quite realizable (if not, indeed, already realized) and that none of it requires much tending, as what will be, will be; I’m OK, you’re OK; win-win; let it be. That can be particularly annoying if it isn’t applying specifically to you right now, but understand it as a background illusion that can be used if you’re clever, and otherwise taken with a grain of salt. The best of times change with time itself and all illusions sooner than expected devolve into the next scene….
20 July Jupiter opposition Pluto 10:26 am EDT Tran-Tran 04° Leo 26′
Sometimes the most perfect, wonderful, ideal schemes go racing along and suddenly hit a brick wall. Watch out for that about now. The possibilities of not-quite-irresistible-enough forces encountering truly immovable objects are rife. So, if a big “no!” suddenly stops you (or a situation you are involved in) in your tracks, it’s probably not the right time to stand and argue and beat on the wall. The best policy is to back off, no blame, and move on to modify your plan and execute it on more fertile ground. Don’t throw good money after bad, a true heart after a false one.
21 July Jupiter sextile Uranus 07:11 am EDT Tran-Tran 04° Leo 38′
It’s a good time to invest in mutual discovery, where what you stumble on somehow perfectly dovetails with what just fell into your partner’s lap. You don’t need to push or pursue the far-out to go really way into yourselves, and you’ll probably even have a little help from your friends, because right about now they’re probably doing it, too. This can apply to the boardroom or the bedroom equally, as subtle inspiration and small “aha!” revelations snowball to give everyone a totally new view on an old subject and reinvigorate flagging energies and interests. The key to success: Be aboveboard, don’t go overboard. Share what’s given, expect the same.
24 July Neptune sextile Pluto 07:40 pm EDT Tran-Tran 04°Aries 20’Rx
This rare but lengthy outer planet dance happened throughout the 1950s and again in the 1970s and puts a deep background of a generation when spiritual issues are not forced but sort of proceed in a leisurely matter without conflict, either because of mutual respect or blissful unawareness. So, it sets a tone of tolerance, and this mellow relationship of Neptune and Pluto will manifest itself as a go-between that eases other aspects they take from other planets and angles that are active on a more short-term basis. If one is troublesome, the other eases the problem.

You are in a roughly yearlong period in which the world at large is, in the deepest sense of the word, coasting. There is a great faith that all is right with the world, which is, as often as not, totally unfounded, a disillusionment often met the following year. But, for the moment, in the background, all appears to be working smoothly, both economically and morally. This makes for profitable enough short-term actions, as long as you can pull out quickly. The real personal bonanza may be had by searching out the coming shift that changes everything and putting all your financial and moral assets on it.

This rare but lengthy outer planet dance happened throughout the 1950s and again in the 1970s and puts a deep background of a generation when spiritual issues are not forced but sort of proceed in a leisurely matter without conflict, either because of mutual respect or blissful unawareness. So, it sets a tone of tolerance, and this mellow relationship of Neptune and Pluto will manifest itself as a go-between that eases other aspects they take from other planets and angles that are active on a more short-term basis. If one is troublesome, the other eases the problem.

This several-year period (most recently centering around 1922) occurs only twice every 128 years and is reputed to have the effect of uniting political power and technological progress in society at large. While too lengthy to have much more than a background effect, it nevertheless sets the tone of the period.

Out of Bounds Planets in 2026
A planet is considered out of bounds when its declination is beyond the outer bounds or limits of that of the Sun, i.e. greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes of declination, either North or South. The energies of these planets tend to be a little out of control during these periods.

Void of Course Moon Dates and Times in 2026
January 2026 to December 2026 (Times: Eastern Time) Void of Course Moon (DST is reflected when in effect)
The Moon is Void of Course from the time of its listed last aspect until the Moon enters a new sign. For example, the Moon is Void of Course from January 4, 2026, at 7:59 AM (ET) when it makes its last major aspect (a trine to Neptune) in the sign until the same day, January 4th, at 8:43 AM, when the Moon changes signs to Leo. To learn more about how to use these tables for timing, see Void Moon Tables, and Timing with the Moon.
Note that (H) means harmonious, (C) is challenging, and (N) denotes neutral–these refer to the nature of the last aspect before void Moon periods. Generally, you prefer that the period ends on a harmonious note if you’re timing an endeavor before a void Moon period.
For Pacific Time, subtract 3 hours from the given times. For example, the Moon enters Leo on January 4th at 8:43 AM Eastern time, which is 5:43 AM Pacific Time. For GMT/UT, however, you will need to add 5 hours to the following times. For example, the Moon enters Leo on January 4th at 1:43 PM UT (1:43 PM is five hours later than 8:43 AM).
