2026 in Astrology & Human Design: The End of Drifting

In this two-hour year-ahead episode, Alison Dale maps the major astrological and Human Design currents shaping 2026, a threshold year that shifts us out of the long Pisces-era haze and into a more fire-and-air driven chapter of sovereignty, movement, and creative direction. We begin with the Year of the Fire Horse, kicked off by a Lunar New Year solar eclipse in Aquarius, then track the headline ingresses: Saturn and Neptune entering Aries, Uranus into Gemini, and Jupiter into Leo, with Pluto continuing its long-term work in Aquarius.

Along the way, Alison weaves in the Human Design gates these outer-planet shifts activate, including Pluto in Gate 41, Saturn and Neptune moving through Gate 25, and Uranus energizing Gate 20, offering grounded ways to work with the themes in real time. You’ll also hear about the supportive harmonic geometry of 2026, including a rare “Basket of Barbeau” alignment, plus a clear walkthrough of the year’s eclipse seasons and what they tend to stir emotionally, relationally, and collectively. The episode closes with a practical look at retrogrades, including water-sign Mercury retrogrades and a Venus retrograde in October and November that reopens the love, money, and values storyline for a needed recalibration.
