Watch our rising board as you explore the invitations that will unfold.
Aries rising
It’s very much your year. With both Saturn and Neptune entering your sign, the coming months will ask you to reconsider your desires and exercise patience as you translate them into reality. Your development is found in innovative thinking, creative self-expression, practical daily actions and deep respect for your individual path forward. You’re also urged to trust your inner compass more than ever before, even if that means recreating yourself from who you’ve always known you are.
Taurus rising
The coming year is the beginning of a new chapter that invites you to greater companionship, collaboration, and connection with yourself, your community, and the unseen aspects of your world. There is both a dissolution and a rebuilding of who you know yourself to be as you explore your enhanced intuition and creativity. You may be drawn to finding a renewed sense of purpose as you look ahead to what is yours to contribute to the collective consciousness of the world. And you may find yourself drawn to a deeper connection with all that you consider spiritual. The sacred is calling your name.
Gemini rising
There is a two-part invitation for you. The first is to allow yourself to look ahead. Discover how far your intuition will take you as you consider the possibilities for the future. Feel what contribution wants to be expressed through you.
And part two is to allow those impulses to drive you to create and build them into your daily reality. Let your desires and intuition guide you. Allow the lens of what you may be perceiving to widen. It is a year in which you discover, think, see, question and reconsider everything, including yourself, while experiencing a stronger sense of connection.
Cancer is rising
Power with ease. Courage with openness. Compassion with authority. You are rethinking these concepts and allowing them to coexist within you this year. This is the time when the planets support you and claim your deep intuition and guiding compass within you at every moment. Together with the cosmos you create your own relationship with leadership, trust and freedom of choice. As a sense of purpose emerges, let it pull you forward and undo your fears around control, change, and intimacy in something of a soul renewal. Rest assured, safety is up to you.
Leo rising
Intuition, exploration, learning, wisdom, communication, sharing and remembering your place within the grand scheme of it all. This is how the year wants to bring you closer to the way life speaks to you in every moment. It’s a time when you need to address old patterns that keep you from shining, creating, or otherwise expressing yourself freely. This year, let old stories and perspectives fall away as you question your inherited beliefs. Life speaks directly to you. As you hear the wisdom meant just for you, a new chapter of being seen honestly, connecting, sharing and collaborating with your people begins.
Virgo rising
It is a year to discover your strength. Not the kind of strength associated with stoicism or violence. The kind that moves from within. The kind that allows you to surrender to yourself. It is a year inward, in which intimacy, openness, courage, vulnerability and surrender coexist. One in which intuition becomes stronger, emotional capacity increases and you understand that transformation is safe. In 2026, let your redefined sense of purpose, belonging and expansion connect you to the unseen and to what exists behind the veil of the mind.
Libra rises
The year calls for an intensification and perhaps redefinition of your lifelong exploration of relational reality. Can you consider connections as initiations? Honesty as dedication? Boundaries as love? Collaboration as openness? Informed decision instead of accommodation? It can be safe to hold your own frequency, regardless of the world or people around you. While the year highlights your relationship themes and building partnership, it is also very much about you. By remembering your unique frequency as joy, beauty and playfulness, you can learn to express yourself with freedom, creativity and security.
Scorpio rising
Welcome to a new you. It’s almost like building a new self and a new life from the ground up. A new way to deal with your body, well-being, identity and sense of service. A new means of laying the foundations of your inner and outer existence, with smaller daily movements done in dedication to a greater purpose and contribution. A new desire to be guided by emotional wisdom and remembered as a contributor to committed, consistent and meaningful building. Your new self is rooted in reverence, refinement, courage, and truth, meaning that with each intentional step forward, your deepest self is revealed.
Sagittarius rising
It’s your year to create. To return to the inner spark and investigate how it wants to be expressed through you. Which medium brings you closer to the life pulse that moves through you? To paint? Dancing? To write? Something else? Whatever the space, in those spaces you will find trust, self-confidence, surrender and wisdom. You may also experience a shift in patterns that previously caused you to obscure, hide, or distort yourself from others. It is no longer necessary to equate safety with belonging. This year, may you remember your voice, share what is real, push the boundaries of your identity, and remember that your desires, ideas, and creativity are sacred.
Capricorn Rising
While this year asks you to be outward and expressive, this year also invites you inward. Get closer to your compass, your desires, and the child within you who has always known what is important. Get closer to your emotional intuition, your inherent wisdom and the courage you hold and let it all take up more space. You rewrite the foundations of yourself and recreate your place within yourself and the world. May the way you move through this life be not only sufficient, but dignified, safe, inspiring, and liberating.
Aquarius rising
Wisdom wants to flow through your voice. Intuition that wants to expand your mind. Opportunity to renew the way you view this world. You are spiritualizing and rebuilding the vast world of your mind, which can expand far beyond your previous understanding of it. This year invites a liberating expression of yourself that is free from previous identities, outdated perspectives and anything that does not align with your unique path. As your communication increases, learning calls your name and life takes you where you want it to be.
Pisces rising
This year applies is where you arrive after years of inviting safety, trust and embodiment to call your name. You are ready to remember the value of who you are and your place in this world. You are ready to view your gentleness as strength, your body as home, and the world around you as an ally that wants to collaborate and create with you. Your desires demand to be taken more seriously and remembered as sacred and purposeful. Let your intuition offer you a sense of freedom.
