2026 – Ideas become tangible

December 2025 | Astrology

Dear friends of HAUT & SEIN,

when I look back on the year 2025, I see a particular intensification of this transitional period. It was not a year of major, clear breakthroughs on the outside – and yet it was a year that set a lot in motion. Not loudly, but noticeably. Not in a straight line, but in loops. These loops were not a standstill, but a final deepening. What seemed to have been clarified on the surface was examined more thoroughly. Those who did this work are entering the new year with a more stable foundation. Many people I have met described a feeling of inner urgency coupled with delay. Decisions were prepared, reordered or deliberately postponed. Processes ran their course – often differently than originally expected.

For me, this perception fits coherently into the larger context of the time we have been in since December 2020. With the beginning of the Air Age, a long earthbound phase has come to an end, in which stability, material security and proven structures were at the forefront. The new quality of time brings with it different dynamics: more networking, more speed, more information – and at the same time, significantly greater complexity. Familiar orders, clear processes and familiar role models have become less rigid. Orientation arises less from external certainties and increasingly from inner clarity.

2025 – a year of inner movement

The year 2025 was a special year of transition in this process. Starting in the summer months, several slow-moving planets changed into new signs for the first time – only to become retrograde again in August and return to their previous signs. Saturn and Neptune were already moving towards Aries, and Uranus briefly touched Gemini before returning to Taurus. This back and forth brought noticeable unrest. Much of what had already been moving forward slowed down again. Issues that had not yet been resolved returned. Old patterns and unconscious issues became more prominent. If they were suppressed, this often manifested itself as inner stagnation, uncertainty or a lack of direction.

Saturn in Pisces in particular acted as a filter during this phase. It revealed what had previously remained vague: inner uncertainties, unspoken expectations, issues that needed clarification. The invitation of this time was not to act immediately, but to look inward, create inner order and prepare the ground for what would later grow outward.

The transition after 2026 – new cycles begin

This dynamic will change significantly in 2026. The major slow-moving planets will now finally move on. Pluto has been in Aquarius since November 2024 and will enter new degrees of this sign in 2026. This marks the beginning of a long-term process that will raise new questions about community, responsibility, power and technological progress.

Especially notable is the simultaneous change of sign of Neptune and Saturn into Aries. Neptune finally moves into this fire sign at the end of January 2026, with Saturn following on 14 February. On 20 February 2026, both meet at the first degree of Aries. This point represents the original impulse, the beginning and initiative. The meeting of two such fundamental planets represents a genuine turning point.

The last Saturn-Neptune conjunction occurred in Capricorn in 1989 and accompanied the collapse of rigid systems. The current encounter in Aries sets a different tone: it is not about dismantling, but about beginnings – about the question of what new forms can emerge from our own initiative. This constellation tests whose will is well-founded. Those who have gained inner clarity in recent years will now find resonance in the outside world. The times call for us to consciously choose our own commitment: What do I stand for? Where do I put my energy? And what does it take to ensure that visions are not only thought about, but also consistently implemented?

Relationships, values and inner stability

2026 will also have a significant impact on a personal level. A new relationship cycle begins in early January with the Venus-Mars conjunction in Capricorn. Partnerships – both private and professional – will come into sharper focus. The focus will be on reliability, shared values and the question of which connections are sustainable.

Between the beginning of May and the beginning of June, relationship issues will once again become apparent. Desires and needs will become clearer, and sometimes more painful. At the same time, encounters may arise that are touching and open up new perspectives. This phase can act as a source of inner encouragement.

In autumn, from the beginning of October to mid-November, Venus will be in retrograde. Relationships will then once again enter a phase of review. It is a time for clarification, honest conversations and, if necessary, letting go of connections that are no longer harmonious. These weeks offer the opportunity to look more consciously at old wounds and to clear up inner unrest.

Another important highlight is Chiron’s stay in Taurus between June and September 2026. Issues such as security, values, body awareness and the use of one’s own resources come to the fore. It may become clear where lifestyles are no longer sustainable and where a more careful use of one’s own energies is necessary. Jupiter moves into Leo at the end of June 2026. This phase strengthens self-confidence, creativity and the courage to make one’s own projects visible. With a realistic view of what is feasible, a solid foundation for heartfelt endeavors can be created during this time.

Technology, change and human competence

Parallel to these astrological movements, we are experiencing rapid technological change in the outside world. What was often still considered experimental in recent years is now finding concrete application in many areas. Artificial intelligence is increasingly entering fields of work, especially in industries such as marketing, design and communication. For some, this means uncertainty, for others, new opportunities.

In my view, it is less a question of either/or and more a question of discernment. Expertise, experience and an understanding of deeper connections – both human and professional – are becoming increasingly valuable. Pluto in Aquarius asks precisely these questions: How do we deal with new forms of power? Who controls the tools, and who is controlled by them? The answer lies not in the technology itself, but in the clarity of those who use it, as well as in the ability to classify, evaluate and make responsible decisions. Technology can support, accelerate and facilitate – but it cannot replace inner clarity, interpersonal skills and a sense of what is essential.

Individual paths – the birth chart as a guide

Looking at the individual birth chart shows very specifically in which areas of life and topics these new constellations are unfolding for my clients. This reveals where development is needed, where clarification is necessary and which areas are particularly sensitive to the quality of time. I would be happy to accompany you in exploring these connections for your personal situation.

New: Space for clarification – my talk therapy

In my work, I have clearly felt during this transitional period how great the need for orientation, classification and inner clarification is. As a sensitive person, I am very attuned to the atmosphere in a room, the emotions that are present and the unspoken tensions that resonate. This perception combines experience, intuition and a deep understanding of inner connections. The quality of time in 2026 – with its emphasis on clarity and conscious action – calls for spaces where inner processes can be accompanied. This need has given rise to my new offering: a space where inner processes can be seen, understood and placed in a larger context – calmly, clearly and without pressure.
