The year begins with a massive boost to your physical vitality and resilience. For the first six months of 2026, the planet of growth and protection, Jupiter, is moving through your own sign. This is often called a "protection aspect," meaning your body heals faster, your immune system is stronger, and your overall energy levels are higher than they have been in over a decade. It is a fantastic time to recover from any lingering ailments or to start a wellness journey that focuses on nourishing your body rather than depriving it. However, Jupiter’s influence can also lead to excess, so be mindful of "comfort eating" or gaining weight simply because you are enjoying life so much. The goal for the first half of the year is to channel this abundance into muscle and energy rather than just indulgence.

As summer arrives, the energy shifts from "steady growth" to "high intensity." In August and September, the planet of action, Mars, moves directly into your sign. This gives you a surge of adrenaline and physical motivation. You might find yourself craving intense workouts, competitive sports, or just needing to burn off steam physically. While this is great for fitness, Mars in Cancer can sometimes manifest as "emotional heartburn." Since your sign rules the stomach, be careful that stress or unexpressed anger doesn't turn into digestive issues during late summer. Channeling your fiery emotions into physical movement will be your best medicine.

Throughout the year, you will also need to guard against burnout driven by your professional ambitions. With the planet of discipline moving into your career sector in February, the pressure to perform at work will be intense. You might be tempted to skip meals, lose sleep, or ignore your body's signals in favor of working late. The universe is warning you that your success cannot come at the cost of your health. You will need to set strict boundaries between your job and your rest time, ensuring that the stress of climbing the ladder doesn't manifest as chronic fatigue or tension headaches.
