As we step into the first quarter of 2026, a profound shift is upon us. A new 9-year cycle is bringing a fresh start for everyone. This period is marked by a burst of fire and masculine energy that promises initiation, pioneering leadership, and radical new beginnings. The one thing that is very clear to me about 2026 – it’s not coming in quietly! 

I'll be honest, even as someone who lives and breathes astrology, I didn't know what a Pluto transit to the midheaven (our true calling) really meant. I knew that it was probably going to be intense, perhaps even dramatic, but there was nothing about it in books or online apart from pretty generic stuff such as ‘a change in career direction’, blah, blah, blah. It's one of those transits that only when you experience it do you really understand it.
