Astrological calendar of luck – 2026: the most favorable and dangerous days of the year
Astrologers call the approaching year 2026 one of the most "turning points" in the last decade. Rare planetary conjunctions, four eclipses, and several retrograde periods create a year in which decisions mature rapidly, but require caution and fact-checking. Izvestia tells us why the energy sector of 2026 is so changeable, which days are suitable for launching large projects, and which ones are better to wait out.
Why is 2026 called the year of reversals?
The main structure of the year is set by four eclipses — in February, March, and August — and the iconic transitions of the higher planets. According to astrologer Yulia Rolnik, it is they who form the "axial points" in which circumstances change, processes accelerate and what used to accumulate in the shadows becomes noticeable.
"The tone of 2026 is set by four eclipses and several major aspects, so the year feels like a time of reversals, when solutions mature faster and familiar patterns require updating," she said.
The key changes begin at the end of winter: on February 17 and March 3, eclipses occur almost in a row, and on February 20, the conjunction of Saturn with Neptune "tests the dream for reality." According to the astrologer, this is an aspect that simultaneously gives inspiration and fog, so at the beginning of the year it is important to record agreements on paper and not draw quick conclusions.
The second wave of changes is a pair of August eclipses on the 12th and 28th. These periods touch on topics of status, trust, relationships, and publicity. The astrologer emphasizes that it is in August that many people will have to change their strategy of interacting with people and the format of their work.
Astrologer Boris Zak complements the overall picture with the transitions of the higher planets: the return of Neptune to Aries in January, Saturn in February, Uranus to Gemini in April and the transition of Jupiter to Leo in June. According to him, these events are increasing the influence of technology, changing the agenda of social activism and pushing states to strengthen their power.
The most favorable days of 2026
As Yulia Rolnik notes, in the calendar of good luck, "favorable days" are not a single moment, but a window in which energy helps to act consciously and strategically.
The astrologer considers the following periods to be particularly successful:
— the period near January 20th. At this moment, the harmony of Saturn and Uranus provides a rare opportunity to update processes without chaos. These are good days for studying, implementing optimization in work processes and changing rules;
— the end of March, the period near the 28th, when the aspect of Saturn and Pluto gives clarity, consistency and the ability to bring results. The best time to take legally precise steps, make structural decisions, and launch long-term projects;
— July 17-22 is one of the most powerful waves of the year: the aspects of breakthrough, expansion and strategy update are activated;
— August 31 and early September — the trigon of Jupiter and Saturn supports making deals, signing documents, and strengthening positions;
— The end of November, around the 29th, is the period of modernization, transition to a new format and consolidation of changes.
Boris Zak adds that the best days for new beginnings traditionally coincide with the new moon. In 2026, these points will be:
— January 18, when should we approach the launch of projects structurally and with consideration of all the nuances;
— February 17th is a strong energy day, coinciding with a solar eclipse. It is well suited for high-tech projects.;
— April 17th. The day is ideal for short-term projects.;
— May 16. The period is suitable for long-term projects, especially in finance and the beauty industry.;
— June 15 — suitable for projects related to education, advertising and the media;
— August 12th. It's a good day to start projects in the field of show business and advertising. An energetically strong day, coincides with a solar eclipse;
— September 11th. The period is suitable for projects in the field of analytics and healthcare;
— October 10th. It is recommended to start projects with other people on this day;
— December 9th. Projects in the field of education and tourism will be successful.
According to the expert, each of these dates enhances a certain area — from finance and partnership to show business and education.
Which periods are best avoided: the unfavorable days of 2026
Experts agree: the most risky days fall on the corridors of eclipses and retrograde periods. According to Yulia Rolnik, it will be especially stressful.:
— end of February — beginning of March, when eclipses coincide with Mercury retrograde;
— the days around February 20 — the Saturn-Neptune junction nebula can lead to errors in documents and hasty decisions;
— July 20 — the opposition of Jupiter and Pluto increases ambitions, conflict and attempts to act "head-on";
— May 31 — The Blue Moon in Sagittarius enhances the emotional background, makes people impulsive and prone to sudden reversals.
Boris Zak emphasizes that Mercury retrograde is the main source of failures. In 2026, it unfolds in three periods: February 27 — March 22, July 1-25, and October 25 — November 14. At this time, delays, errors, cancellations of trips, the return of old contacts and the need to revise plans are possible.
How will retrograde periods affect work, health, and relationships
Astrologers note that retrograde periods are better suited for completion and correction than for starting new projects. In February and March, irreversible decisions should be avoided, in summer — to pay attention to home and family, and in autumn — to put finances and documents in order.
— Mercury retrograde malfunctions in all areas. It is better to analyze and observe than to actively change life," Boris Zak emphasized.
He adds that retrograde Venus in the fall will strengthen the reassessment of relationships and values, and retrograde Saturn will test regimes, commitments and discipline.
How to use the Luck Calendar in real life
According to experts, an astrological forecast is a navigator, not a direct indication. It helps you plan consciously, reduce risks, and choose the time when your efforts will bring the best result. Yulia Rolnik advises to be careful about the periods of eclipses: do not get overexcited, do not take sudden steps and observe which topics "pop up" — they require restructuring.
Boris Zak recommends following the lunar cycles and the position of the Moon in the sign: it helps to choose favorable days for weddings, travel, medical treatment, real estate purchases and important negotiations. Astrologers say that 2026 will provide many opportunities — the main thing is to choose the right moments and not be afraid to adjust the course.
