- On April 25, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, moves into the sociable, curious, and moody zodiac sign of Gemini, bringing a particularly playful, fun-loving mood to fashion that will last until 2033.
- Thanks to several significant planetary shifts, the fire signs Aries and Leo, as well as the air signs Gemini and Aquarius, will be in the spotlight as trendsetters in 2026.
- Expansive Jupiter spends the first half of the year in the water sign Cancer, reinforcing the focus on vintage, sentimental, and romantic styles. After June 30, however, it begins its journey through the fire sign Leo, ushering in a year of theatrical silhouettes and a wave of all things glittery, shimmery, and golden.
As we embark on a new year and a new 12-month cycle, it’s natural to think about how we want to present ourselves to the world, and revamping our personal style is a powerful way to do just that. Whether you want to subtly refresh your wardrobe or completely revamp it, the astrology of 2026 offers insights into how you can consciously evolve your aesthetic. This year’s planetary movements will set a collective tone—for example, Jupiter’s move into the theatrical sign of Leo heralds drama, yellow gold, and plenty of glitz. At the same time, you can use important astrological moments to support the development of your own personal style.
Read on for an overview of how the astrology of 2026 will shape fashion trends, which zodiac signs will lead the style discussion, and how you can enhance your look based on your zodiac sign.
How 2026’s Astrology Will Shape Fashion and Style
With several trendsetting planets moving into passionate, action-oriented fire signs in 2026, prepare for an era of style that is bold, colorful, and sometimes almost over the top. First, Neptune, the planet of illusions and dreams, moves into Aries on January 26, the direct, competitive cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action, energy, and war. Neptune’s shift heralds a 13-year cycle in which fearless, spirited, and confident self-expression will reign supreme. If you’ve been holding back on wearing red lips or a flashy down jacket, Neptune in pioneering Aries will encourage you to put yourself in the spotlight.
Saturn joins the party and also enters the zodiac sign of Aries on February 13. From this point on, these two planetary powerhouses in the physical, energetic fire sign will lead us to a more functional, sporty, Mars-dominated look, such as camouflage, motorcycle jackets, and combat boots. And don’t be surprised by the reappearance of sexy power suits, eye-catching logos, and Matrix-esque cyberpunk chic—looks that dominated the catwalks and red carpets in the late 1990s when Saturn was last in the sign of Aries.
On April 25, Uranus, the planet of revolution, enters the curious, communicative air sign of Gemini, bringing with it a boom in quirky, technology-inspired fashion (think metallic or liquid silk and 3D details). On June 30, Jupiter, the planet of abundance and good fortune, leaves the intuitive, sentimental water sign of Cancer and moves into the flamboyant, regal fire sign of Leo. Until summer 2027, you can expect a trend toward regal fabrics (such as velvet and silk satin), jewel tones, eye-catching yellow gold and glitter, sequins, big, voluminous hairstyles (Leos are known to be obsessed with their manes), and statement jewelry.
The Signs That Will Be the Main Trendsetters in 2026
Given the fiery mood of astrology in 2026, anyone born with personal placements (i.e., Sun, Moon, Ascendant, but also Mercury, Venus, and Mars) in Aries or Leo will take the lead this year. This will be even more so when Venus, the planet of beauty and style, is in each sign from March 6 to 30 and June 13 to July 9.
With revolutionary Uranus and transformative Pluto in air signs, Gemini and Aquarius will see their super-social, lively, playful, and forward-thinking perspective reflected in the style trends of 2026. Around November 29, when Uranus and Pluto are in a rare, harmonious angle, Gemini and Aquarius will be tempted to take fashion risks and use the power of innovation to make their mark.
How to Evolve Your Look in 2026, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Although fire and air signs may be particularly in the spotlight this year, there are opportunities for every zodiac sign to take their style to the next level. When researching fashion trends for 2026, consider your ascendant sign (which reveals how you present yourself to the world and can be found in your birth chart or using an online calculator) and your sun sign.
Aries
As one of the main characters in the show, astrologically speaking, you will experience a surge of creative energy in 2026.
Use this energy to make your personal style more playful and experimental, perhaps by incorporating military elegance and sporty trends inspired by your ruling planet Mars. You may also feel a heightened desire to lay new foundations for how you present yourself and are perceived, as Saturn, the planet of foundations, moves into your sign, where it will remain until 2028.
So this is the year to upgrade your favorite pieces (like the handbag you’ve been using since college) and invest in basics that you love and will enjoy wearing again and again, whether it’s a cashmere sweater or suede sneakers.
Taurus
You are moving through a year that will bring amazing changes in both your public and private life.
This is the result of groundbreaking eclipses falling on this axis, which affects your tenth house of career and your fourth house of private life—on February 17 and August 12, respectively. For this reason, you would do well to think about how your personal style can help you gain professional authority. You tend to be a creature of habit who feels most comfortable with a characteristic, down-to-earth look, but you may be inspired to be a little bolder this year, especially when Jupiter, the planet of expansion, also begins to activate this axis between home and career on June 30.
Think eye-catching, chunky earrings, bright scarves that add a pop of color, or a draped dress that conveys a little understated drama. Let your intuition guide you to what suits you best, and you’ll appear even more radiant.
Gemini
As Uranus, the planet of revolution, begins a seven-year cycle through your zodiac sign on April 25, you are about to redefine your look through wildly rebellious glasses.
This transit fuels your sense of independence and even rebellion, inspiring you to go against convention and be more innovative than ever. If you’ve been drawn to quiet, luxurious neutrals up until now, you’ll now feel like experimenting with the electrifyingly bright, ultra-saturated shades of 2026 or even throwing a fancy cape over your everyday sweater and jeans.
2026 is also a year in which you should focus on your savings, investment, and income habits, because your ruling planet, Mercury, will be in retrograde three times—from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November—in your tenth house of career, your second house of income, and your sixth house of daily life. You should be more conscious of your spending and give up fast fashion in favor of basic wardrobe items, which ultimately cost you far less per wear.
Cancer
As expansive, lucky Jupiter transits your first house of self-image until June 30, you radiate optimistic leading-lady energy, at least in the first half of the year, giving you a boost of confidence that you can channel into your personal style.
You may feel the urge to flirt with the trend of visible lingerie or pair a new faux fur coat with high Uggs. In early March, you may experience some jet-set moments as Jupiter harmonizes with the Sun and Mercury in your ninth house of adventure. As a result, you may be on the lookout for new clothing items that are well-suited for travel, such as a classic shirt and a super-functional shoulder bag. And when Mercury retrograde passes through your ninth house of higher education, your first house of self, and your fifth house of self-expression from late February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November, you’ll have three different opportunities to apply your emotions, sense of adventure, and creativity to your new look.
That means experimenting with a palette that’s inspired by past or present travel, art, or nature, and pulling a whole fit together with just one or two accessories that have sentimental value (like the cool vintage watch you scored at your favorite flea market).
Leo
You shine and stand in the spotlight no matter what the planets are doing, but in 2026, the celestial story has assigned you a leading role, so you should dress accordingly.
Two solar eclipses affecting your first house of self and seventh house of partnerships will occur on February 17 and August 12, ushering in a groundbreaking development that will completely transform how you present yourself to the world—and how others perceive you. Take this opportunity to consciously consider how your personal style can best reflect your authentic self.
This could mean allowing yourself to incorporate bold colors and materials—not to mention eye-catching statement pieces like that gold blazer, sequined mini dress, or diamond pendant you’ve had your eye on for a while. And once Jupiter, the planet of abundance and optimism, enters your zodiac sign on June 30, where it will remain until summer 2027, you can pull out all the stops, whether you opt for an electric candy-colored dress with exaggerated sleeves or a dramatic floor-length coat.
And with Neptune and Saturn joining forces in your ninth house of adventure from February 13 on, you’ll also want to make sure you have classic staples you adore that you can easily toss in a carry-on, given that your travel plans could be picking up steam in the months ahead.
Virgo
You have always been discerning and detail-oriented when it comes to developing your personal style, but this year that tendency will reach its peak.
Over the past year and a half, thanks to the eclipses in your first house of self and your seventh house of partnership, you have developed even more self-confidence, self-awareness, and determination. This development continues around March 3 and August 28, when lunar eclipses occur there. These moments are perfect for a fresh start, so use them to thoroughly clean out your wardrobe and donate anything that no longer suits your current self. This will create physical and energetic space for your new look to emerge. This could include finding the perfect pair of jeans, one or two investment pieces such as a cashmere cardigan or fine monogrammed jewelry.
And with Uranus, the planet of revolution, moving into your tenth house of career on April 25, this newly polished, confident, and self-possessed aesthetic will greatly support your ability to pursue professional growth and sharpen your sense of authority.
Libra
As a social air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of relationships, you are infinitely romantic and love beauty—but this year things will be a little different. Now you will focus even more on writing your ultimate love story, because starting on February 13, imaginative Neptune and serious Saturn will move into your seventh house of partnership for the next few years.
Let this energy guide you when it comes to enhancing your style by focusing on graceful, soft, and minimalist details, such as draped blouses, sheer layers, and lots of delicate Venus colors like sage, pink, and light blue. Basically, anything you look at or try on that gives you a sense of serenity is a wise choice, because this year you will crave that feeling of balance more than ever.
And with Jupiter, the planet of abundance and expansion, moving into your eleventh house of friendships on June 30, you can be sure that your already busy social life will become even more active. So remember to get the right shoes for different occasions, from college reunions to spontaneous road trips.
Scorpio
As Jupiter, which stands for “go big or go home,” moves into your tenth house of career on June 30, you will assert your professional power and be much more in the public eye than in recent years.
This isn’t meant to be pressure, but something to think about as you consider how to upgrade your wardrobe. You want your style to make it clear from the outset that you are a leader. So opt for eye-catching tailoring (think elongated lines, deliberate structures, strong shoulders) and monochrome outfits that are as intense and impressive as you are. Leather, polished boots, and eye-catching bracelets or cuffs could also suit you well, especially in this leadership-focused year.
At the same time, emotions will run higher than usual, as every Mercury retrograde (from February to mid-March, late June to mid-July, and late October to mid-November) will fall into intuitive, deeply sensitive water signs, including your own, so you would be wise to invest more time in putting together a selection of comfortable basics, from high-quality loungewear for binge-watching TV series to yoga outfits that are perfect for processing past heartbreak once and for all.
Sagittarius
Your creativity will soon skyrocket, as imaginative Neptune and serious Saturn unite in your fifth house of self-expression starting February 13. So be as playful, cheerful, and full of dopamine as you like.
Meanwhile, your ruling planet, lucky Jupiter, amplifies everything it touches, and since last summer, it has been intensifying your focus on intimacy, an effect that will continue until June 30. In return, you would do well to add a little more sensuality and boudoir-inspired flair to your generally cheerful, adventurous style. Think nude-colored corset tops, visible bras, or a sheer little black dress. From June 30 through the summer of 2027, Jupiter will then transit your ninth house of adventure, meaning you can tap into your innate wanderlust and venture out into the world even more than usual.
Incorporate your thirst for knowledge, new experiences, and globetrotting into your look by experimenting with handmade accessories inspired by antique designs, architecture, or art. Opt for clothing that is both practical and versatile (e.g., layered looks) so that you can put together multiple outfits from a limited number of garments, making it much easier to travel back and forth from one place to another.
Capricorn
You are always present and do your best to achieve your goals, but this year you should slow down a little, as your ruling planet Saturn and spiritual Neptune will be in your fourth house of private life from February 13. You will feel that your style should reflect this.
Opt for details that are softer and less restrictive and feel more comfortable overall, whether it’s luxurious, supple fabrics like silk or fine rib knitwear, or slip silhouettes and wrap dresses or tops. At the same time, a new, groundbreaking eclipse series beginning this year and activating your second house of income and eighth house of shared resources around February 17 and August 12, respectively, will reinforce your desire to be an even smarter buyer and investor.
You may consider consigning garments that have become firmly established in your wardrobe, or you may research couture pieces to add to your collection that will increase in value over time. Either way, since these lunar events tend to be quite dramatic, rely on your characteristic down-to-earth, pragmatic perspective when you feel the urge to make an expensive purchase.
Aquarius
You are facing a year full of breakthroughs, twists, and surprises. This is the result of solar eclipses on February 17 and August 29, which activate your first house of self and your seventh house of partnership.
This could lead you to be ready to completely reinvent your existing style—or at least be willing to play with original, eye-catching details, such as striking glasses, asymmetrical lines, and electrifying, unusual colors that you haven’t had in your wardrobe for a long time (think neon green or bright orange). This mood will continue to be brought to you by your co-ruler, rebellious Uranus, which moves into your fifth house of self-expression on April 25, empowering you to fully embrace your penchant for unconventionality and incorporate the element of surprise into your personal style.
You’ll feel your best and most confident when you’re simply having fun and being spontaneous, whether that means mixing high and low or choosing colors that reflect your mood of the day. Around November 29, Uranus harmonizes with transformative Pluto in your sign, providing a boost of originality that can lead to greater personal power. Take this as an opportunity to go your own way even more in your fashion choices.
Pisces
This year, you should make sure that your personal style reflects your liveliness, your heart, and your creative outlook. You have worked hard on yourself over the past year and a half, and it shows. This is the result of a series of eclipses in your seventh house of partnership and your first house of self-image, which will continue around March 3 and August 28.
The major changes taking place in your life as a result of these lunar events are leading you to a look that not only makes you stand out, but also gives you greater self-confidence. You may opt for flowing fabrics in soft, soothing, possibly ocean-inspired colors that reinforce your inner peace, or you may purchase a few new accessories that give you a sense of grounding, protection, and purpose (such as a piece of jewelry featuring your birthstone or zodiac sign).
Until June 30, Jupiter, the planet of abundance, transits your fifth house of self-expression, enhancing your lightheartedness and ability to connect with your artistic impulses. You will find that you are happiest when you choose a romantic color palette characterized by warm, bright neutrals with occasional pops of color. After that, Jupiter in your sixth house of well-being will motivate you to add more high-quality sportswear to your wardrobe until the summer of 2027, as you will be more motivated to take steps to increase your vitality.
