December 2025 - January 2026 Astrological Forecast
FUTURE OUTLOOK AHEAD
Throughout 2026 the astrological word is, be extra careful with all financial transactions, investments and saving plans and keep all insurances up to date. There will be opportunities to gain financially. However, one must be overly cautious about where and how one invests. Whatever one does, avoid pouring money into cheap non-profiting speculative companies, hoping to make a quick dollar in the future, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. 2026 is a year to invest in stocks and superannuation funds that have a healthy background record of sound management and profitability, for the year will have many financial changes due to the planets Uranus (unexpected change), Saturn (industry cuts-unemployment), Neptune (market confusion - financial disillusionment) in transit through the signs of Aries (impulsiveness), and Uranus (sudden and unexpected) in Gemini. However, from July 1 to December 31, 2026 watch gold, as it will be doing a rebound during these months. If you are looking for monetary surprises, then 2026 will be the year with plenty to keep one occupied. My monthly astrology NYSX and ASX dates and report will resume on February 1, 2026.
COMMERCE
In December the planet Uranus (unexpected changes), will continue to transit the financial sector of the zodiac sign Taurus (incomes-banking-expenditure-inflation) until 10:50 am April 26, 2026, influencing a slow financial recovery from the bleak November 2025 loss of profits, and inflationary conditions. Saturn, planet of apprehensiveness, restriction, and caution, will also end a transit through the variable sign of Pisces (apprehensiveness) together with Neptune (confusion-inflation) by Friday 13 February 2026. Both planets will then enter and transit the astrological organizational sign of Aries (action), initiating an innovating economic reconstruction cycle, prompting the commencement of a new world industry recovery program that will, over the next two years, encourage international manufacturing, production and trade, banking, future stocks, shares, bonds, investments, and superannuation funds. These two planets will economically influence and step up a lengthy period of constructive commercialism in many forms for most countries around the globe, reaching a positive international trade crescendo by April 12, 2028. Be patient.
Rest assured, astrologically, better times are on the horizon. However, a little patience will be required from December 2025 until April 26, 2026, before the world secures its first fiscal kick-start influence from the planet Uranus (change). From April 26, 2026, through to May 22, 2033, Uranus (innovation) in concert with Pluto (renewal) will begin a cycle of modernistic globalising, digitalising, advanced technology, AI transformation, international trade competitiveness, and balanced economic reforms that will reshape a new world economy together with a compromising easing of certain trade tariffs and controlled wars globally.
INFLATION -BANKING - RATE CUTS
During December 2025 - April 2026, inflation will be running high due to cost of living, increased energy costs, high accommodation rentals, travel and entertainment, causing reserve banks to hold cash and interest rate changes. There will be talk of an interest rate cut in April 2026. However, the Reserve Bank will hold the cash rate, and many economists and businesses will be hoping for a rate cut during May 19 – June 28, 2026, when Mars transits the financial sign of Taurus. Unfortunately, with Mars in Taurus (building – hardware – property expense) influencing exorbitant building and energy costs, together with rising house prices throughout the year, and pushing up inflationary figures throughout 2026, the Federal Reserve will decide to hold off cuts in May-June, and wait until September 11 to October 23, 2026, before cutting rates. That period astrologically is a positive time for governments and banks to give relief to business and home buyers. Venus (money) will be in transit through Scorpio (incomes) during this period, favouring lower inflation and interest rates cuts.
Throughout December 2025 – January 2026, with Mars (impulsiveness - competitiveness) and Venus (money –enjoyment - travel) both in transit through the zodiac signs of Sagittarius (travel – sport - entertainment) and Capricorn (home - security), expect a flurry of activity and hasty expenditure for many charitable organisational and religious groups and activities. Gifts, family gatherings expenditure, household items, visitors, holiday travel arrangements, buying, selling, trading, home decoration, renovations, sporting, and creative events will keep the population busy. With Mercury, planet of communication, in a direct motion through both December and January, expect most planned holiday activities, air travel and accommodation bookings to run smoothly, without any major delays or cancellations, as Mercury, planet of communications and movement, will be in a direct transit. Energy costs and household expenditure will continue to be high, with Venus (spendthrift) in the sign of Pisces (banks). However, that will not stop people from spending and travelling. Many credit cards will be pushed to the maximum by February 2026, a big debt month for bank payments, with Mercury (payments), Mars (expenditure), and Uranus (change) all in tandem paying bills and at the same time budgeting on the home front expenditure for added school, university and higher educational fees for 2026.
WARNINGS – WEATHER
Throughout December – January, with such a busy couple of months for most people, care should be taken with impulsiveness. Give yourself plenty of time to shop, do your daily chores or travel. Planetary aspects for the next two months indicate an unusual upsurge in weather conditions and criminal offences, which may upset many revellers. Mars (impatience) will clash with Saturn (stability), Mercury (awareness - communication) will clash with Uranus (sudden and unexpected), and Venus (love) will clash with the Moon’s nodes, causing people to lose their cool during travel on crowded public transport, shopping centre queues, vehicle parking bays, service areas, escalators, cafes, restaurants, hairdressers, public latrines, and medical centres. Be extra careful with internet fraud, theft, speeding, accidents, home invasion, robberies, family violence, motor vehicle theft, emotional break-ups, alcoholic abuse, drink driving, electrical, mechanical breakdowns, and fires. Keep an umbrella handy.
In the Northern Hemisphere, be extra careful with winter weather, snow skiing accidents, and wet and inclement driving conditions, power outages, and stranded conditions through road works and adverse conditions. Farmers may have problems with cattle, livestock and agriculture products with severe winter conditions setting in.
In the Southern Hemisphere, care should be taken at beaches, lakes, bush hiking, and sporting venues to avoid incidents and accidents. Traffic flows will be hectic, and incidents or accidents will be common. Keep your first aid kit handy.

TRENDS 2026
There are three major changes throughout 2026. Firstly, January through to April 26, as Uranus, Saturn and Neptune link with Pluto, breaking down and rebuilding the geopolitical world and renegotiating trade and economic deals, especially scientific matters, coal, iron ore, minerals, agriculture, fishing, climate change, and nuclear interests, inventions in aviation, engineering, and exploration, including immigration, asylum seekers, and resolving of international disagreements amongst war-torn countries. Secondly, from January to June, Jupiter, planet of law and order, international courts, foreign interests, higher education, AI, exports, imports, shipping, air travel, defence, publishing. Then from June 30 through to December 31, 2026, it will change direction from the zodiac home security sign Cancer to Leo (business – speculation - defence programs), influencing geopolitical transformations, global economy, international trade, telecommunications, media, royalty, human rights, gold prices, global stock exchanges, gambling, horse racing, international sport, fashion industry, hotels chains, music, entertainment, and the film industry.
EMPLOYMENT
Throughout 2026, there will be many new opportunities for professional and trades people, as the building, construction, and housing industry moves forward. Although energy prices will escalate, especially between April and September, and cost of living will continue to be a concern, there appear to be no indications of a major recession that will affect big business throughout 2026. Small business will capitalise on the upturn in business improvements during July and December 2026.
With Saturn, planet of budgetary organisation, in transit through the zodiac sign of Aries (industrial action) for the first time in 30 years, and Neptune, planet of idealism, also in transit through Aries (employment) for the first time in 165 years, during 2026 onward the world can expect a total change of monetary direction, as both planets connect with Uranus (new circumstance) and Pluto (readjustment). Expect many public demonstrations regarding anti-government administration, wages, economy, employment, union movements, and radical extremist groups with nothing better to do but protest for the sake of protesting. Throughout 2026 and beyond, governments will be taking the initiative, expressing greater cooperation between countries. Hostilities will be broken down and peace treaties will be acknowledged, together with greater trade opportunities and new beginnings, followed by an optimistic 2027, with a predicted government budget surplus by 2028.
POPULATION - CLIMATE CHANGE
Democracy will be challenged throughout 2026. With this rare combination of transiting planets all influencing together in various subdivisions on the world horoscope throughout 2026, especially affecting wars and uprisings, poor economic conditions within the African states, and Latin American countries. Expect a global population explosion during 2026, increased illegal immigration and radical cultural and religious fanaticism enhancing changes to the present world order of people movement. The need for immigration control in 2026 is urgent, otherwise economies will suffer through lack of taxpayer funds and saving for future resources. Governments will be forces to stop illegal entry and using taxpayer funds to accommodate asylum seekers otherwise it will prove disastrous for election polls.
The United Nations horoscope indicates a total shambles of direction, management and disorganization from the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres (Taurus) and present board members. It is time for Guterres to step down and let a more motivated Secretary-General take his place. With the disastrous outcome of the November 2025 COP 30 Climate Change conference, and the G20 Summit, they were nothing but a taxpayer-funded holiday for delegates from approximately 190 countries, trying to convince each other that they have the answer to global warming and climate change. When the conferences began, the big polluting countries’ heads of government like China and the US did not attend, because the Cop 30 and G20 were a complete waste of time and money, namely billions of dollars, for what? This was also witnessed at the G20 Summit in South Africa, during November 2025. Nothing was ventured and nothing was gained.
Climate emissions have not changed to any great degree over the past twenty years and will stay the same for many thousands of years in the future. Governments should stop clearing tropical rainforests and destroying valuable, productive farming land to establish roads for solar panels, windmills, and high-tension cables to service renewables. This is not the answer to climate change and the future will prove the present madness will not succeed in its present mode. Gas, coal, hydro, nuclear, and hydrogen will be the main energy sources for business, household, and manufacturing by 2044-46.
Climate change scenarios are presently destroying the world for profit, not emissions. Have you noticed any change in the air you are breathing? If you are honest, you would say NO. Remember the last 10 – 60 past years of your life. You are still breathing the same air as you did then. No one has ever changed the climate and weather, nor will they change the weather or climate in the future. There are too many variables. Nature and the cosmos are in charge, and no person on this earth can ever change the inevitable cycle of life, Alfa and Omega.
There have always been emissions of a sort, whether it be through volcanic and seismic activity, wildfires, incineration of rubbish, power stations, solar flares, mining, motor transport, and agriculture. As a professional astrologer in practice for the past fifty years, I believe in climate change; it has been continuous for the past 4.54 billion years and will continue for many thousands of years into the future. We all adapt and survive to the changes, hot or cold.
ECLIPSES 2026
Eclipses are particularly important to astrologers especially when viewing the global horoscope for governmental, economic and geopolitical trends, seismic activity, weather, flood warnings, major political and economic policies, and events. The following months are related to events that will affect the countries as the eclipse passes over. In many cases countries will be affected either positively or negatively, depending on where the country’s natal planets are placed at the time of the eclipse.
An annular solar eclipse on February 17, 2026
A total lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026
A total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026
A partial lunar eclipse on August 28, 2026
It would be advisable to take extra care whilst travelling during the week before and after these dates and months and be cautious with all business dealings. The following countries will be mainly affected by eclipses in 2026:
USA, Canada, Italy, Japan, China, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Iran, United Kingdom, France, Russia, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Thailand, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Syria, Lebanon, Chad, Central Africia Republic, Congo, Zambia, Guyana, Niger, Armenia, Albania, Benin, Cyprus, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, New Zealand, Iceland, Denmark-Greenland, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, Peru, Bahrain, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Rwanda. Watch media reports during the year, these countries should feature consistently.
USA-RUSSIA-UKRAINE
The three countries’ horoscopes for 2026 appear to indicate difficulties, dishonesty, corruption, and greed, including opposition to any present peace negotiations by Ukraine and the European Union, during December-January. From December onward, Pluto, planet of corruption, catastrophes, and destruction, meeting Ukraine’s natal Sun (officialdom) will be forcing issues regarding peace negotiations. However, deadlines will not be met and changes in planning will be made until January 23, 2026, when Mars (action) enters the zodiac sign of Aquarius (progressive aims) and forces President Zelenskyy (Aquarian, birthdate 25.1.1978) to agree on certain recommendations and principles. From his birthday onward Pluto (transformation) will force Zelenskyy into a completely new direction throughout 2026.
Uranus (devastation-change) will transit Taurus (finances- banks) during December 2025 to April 2026, influencing continuous negotiations and demands by the US, European Community, Russia, and Ukraine. According to Ukraine’s horoscope, during 2038-2043 it’s predicted that Russia will move to take over Ukraine completely. Unfortunately, this will be due to the present corrupt negotiations and economic entanglement between the USA, Russia, and EU, eventually forcing Ukraine to surrender the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts and at the same time relinquishing Ukraine’s economic income to Russia, taking possession of thousands of hectares of wheat and sunflowers, large coal reserves, minerals, industrial machinery manufacturing, chemicals, fertilisers, and defence equipment. Saturn (restriction) and Neptune (sea-ports-shipping) will have Putin laughing all the way to the bank as he will rejoin the G8 Summits and start global trade negotiations. Russia will have unobstructed use of the Black Sea ports, and Trump will capitalise on Russian tariffs for boosting the US Treasury. The two financial winners in the long term will be the US and Russia.
Ukraine has Pluto (breakdown-rebuild) at present connecting the country’s natal Sun, indicating the end to the present war, and the beginning of a significant rebuilding program of infrastructure throughout cities. Although Ukrainians will be happy to see the end of the war, world leaders will be hesitant regarding Putin (Libra) and his future demands. He cannot be trusted to keep his promises to anyone, including Trump (Gemini). Putin commences his new twelve-year astrological cycle on August 24, 2028, when Jupiter (law and order) enters his zodiac sign of Libra. This is when Putin will start to make his plans for complete control of Ukraine, as Trump will be ending his presidency on January 20, 2029.
The best deterrent would be for Ukraine to join NATO. This would scare the pants off Putin, immaterial of his nuclear threats, which would never come to fruition, for the consequences would be disastrous for Putin. With a new US president at the helm in 2029, Putin would not be tolerated. Also, President Xi Jinping (Gemini) of China would not agree with Putin using nuclear threats and arsenals. Believe it or not, astrologically, Xi Jinping is not an aggressive war hog, he believes in negotiation and peace rather than war. However, push him and he will push back. He can be very defensive.
President Donald Trump (Gemini) is presently going through his most horrific, stressful, and unorthodox time as leader of the free world, and this period, December 2025 to April 26, 2026, will take its toll, and not ease the pressure for Trump. Trump will regret not taking Putin to task earlier in the past year and not using greater fortitude in directing Putin to end the war and giving in to Putin’s ridiculous demands. By 2044, history will note 2025-2026 would have been the biggest misconstrued years of Trump’s presidency. However, he will make the US great again financially by the end of his presidential term.
JAPAN – CHINA – VIETNAM
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi (Pisces) would have to be one of the most honest politicians Japan has ever produced. Although she is smart, a deep thinker and ultra-conservative, she is also quite shy and a little secretive with her feelings. Prime Minister Takaichi will step up to the plate against China’s bossy attitude and will be respected for her fortitude concerning Taiwan and its independence. The present China-Japan relationship will cool, and respect will be maintained with their future relationship. Pluto’s transit through Aquarius until 2044 will break down Japan’s economic woes, creating a positive 2026-2030 economic period through improved trade negotiations globally, particularly with the US, China, Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and India. Asia-Pacific trade negotiations astrologically, show vast improvement from July 1, 2026 onward, as Jupiter, planet of expansion, enters the zodiac sign of Leo for the first time for twelve years, boosting international trade and Japan’s coffers. Interesting to note, Prime Minister Takaichi will be encouraging young Japanese married couples to produce more babies. Overall, the Asia-Pacific area should show greater cooperation and trade improvement during the next four years, with Asian countries also concentrating on increased defence procurement, and improved tourism from both hemispheres.
ISRAEL-HAMAS
A fragile ceasefire has taken place in Gaza, but according to the Israeli horoscope, Uranus, the planet of sudden change, disruption and trouble, is continuing a transit through Taurus (stubborn) and at the same time clashing with Israel’s natal Mars (war) until early May 2026. There appears to be no real peace between the IDF and Hamas during this cycle, and the Palestinians will have to abide their time for improved aid and resettlement. Watch for interesting news regarding the Gaza Strip and Israel during 1st to 17th December, when Mars (action) co-joins Jupiter (massive) for the BIG clean-up and pre-festive arrangements for various religions who celebrate at this time of the year, with fire fights and disruptions also indicated between Jews and Palestinians. As far as a peaceful Gaza nation is concerned, astrologically it is not possible. However, peacekeeping delegations will contribute to the equilibrium between Palestinians and Jews in the years ahead.
NOTE
Enjoy the December-January cycle, although the planetary aspects are not the best overall for these two months. Many difficulties and heavy expenses are forecast, so be prepared. However, from April 2026 onward, look forward to a more constructive period for finances and security, as the world enters a period of significant advancement in financial organisation, international trade, transportation, science and technology, media, communications, and entertainment.
Unfortunately, the Australian Labor government is spending outrageously on climate change and benefits, instead of saving for that rainy day. The present $1.1 trillion debt will grow to $2 trillion by the 2028 federal election period. This will worry the electorate, for Australia is predicted to enter an extremely critical economic period, the worst in Australian history, from April 28, 2028 to November 24, 2032. The planets Uranus (catastrophe) and Pluto (destruction) will clash with Australia’s natal planets for the first time since Federation, causing hardship, financial loss and possible conflict.
Happy Holidays.
