If you're a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn—or have prominent earth placements—the cosmos has some challenging news: the ground beneath your feet is shifting faster than you ever predicted.

In the latest episode of Astrology Unfiltered, astrologer Jaclyn Joy channels the rest of 2026 specifically for earth signs, offering both warnings and reassurance as we navigate a year unlike any other. Broadcasting from Maui, Jaclyn opens with her signature grounded invocation before diving into what she calls "a wildcard year in astrology."

Jaclyn Joy begins with a clearing invocation for earth signs

Why Does 2026 Feel Like Time Is Speeding Up?

"I cannot believe we're already talking about 2027," Jaclyn reflects midway through the episode. "It seems that time is moving faster than normal."

She attributes this acceleration to Saturn—the planet that rules time and structure—moving into Aries, the zodiac's first and fastest sign. For earth signs accustomed to predictability and long-term planning, this shift has been particularly jarring.

The episode walks through current sky activity: the sun in Leo, moon in Taurus, Venus entering Libra, and Chiron retrograding in Taurus. But the real story is what happened at the beginning of 2026. "All of our outermost planets have shifted signs this year," Jaclyn explains. Pluto moved from Capricorn into Aquarius after 12 years. Uranus left Taurus after seven years and entered Gemini. Saturn and Neptune both moved into Aries.

"The structures that you were comfortable with are now being reframed, shaken apart, taken down," she tells Capricorns directly.

What's Actually Coming for Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus?

Jaclyn offers detailed forecasts for each earth sign, and the themes are surprisingly specific.

For Virgos, she sees "moving and shaking in different circles you didn't foresee yourself being in" during September. The fall will bring frustration as Mars moves into Cancer, slowing down the rapid-fire Mercury energy Virgos prefer. "We like things to get done. We want things to happen right away," she says, speaking from her own Virgo moon placement. October brings career shifts, and by late November when Mars enters Virgo, the body will finally feel at home again. December? "Coming into more of a cocoon setting for you."

Capricorns are facing perhaps the most radical shift. After having Pluto in their sign for over a decade, they're now watching that transformative power operate from Aquarius—"the wild card of the astrological wheelhouse." Jaclyn sees public speaking and writing opportunities emerging unexpectedly. "Maybe you never really saw yourself in the limelight in this way as a public speaker, a writer, someone who takes to social media or AI even in some ways. I can really see Capricorns getting pretty radical with their voices this year."

Taurus placements are breathing a sigh of relief now that Uranus has finally left their sign after seven years of upheaval. With Chiron retrograding in Taurus and Venus in Libra, early fall focuses on relationships. November turns inward toward health and ritual. The year caps with "a passionate time" as Mars moves into Virgo in late November. Watch the full episode for Jaclyn's complete breakdown of each sign's timeline.

What About Eclipse Season and the Lion's Gate?

Jaclyn dedicates significant time to the Lion's Gate portal (August 8th), a date that carries both spiritual significance and personal weight for her—it marks three years since the Maui fires. "It was one of the most miraculous days of my life," she shares, acknowledging her complicated feelings about the numerology and abundance focus many astrologers emphasize.

More pressingly, she warns that eclipse season is about to intensify everything. A total solar eclipse arrives August 12th in Leo, followed by a partial lunar eclipse August 27th in Pisces. "Eclipse season is going to be bringing maybe a more rapid amount of change in the month of August that we haven't seen," she cautions. "The second half of 2026 is going to be prominently more interesting than the beginning of 2026."

Her green flag for the week? Mercury is finally out of its post-retrograde shadow period. Her red flag? We're entering eclipse season.

The episode closes with a tarot pull from her Charlie Brown deck: the High Priestess card, reframed as "psychiatric help—the doctor is in." It's a call to hold space for others struggling with reality's rapid shifts, while maintaining fierce boundaries around your own energy and mission.

"A lot of us are getting clarion calls in different ways to show up in ways that we never would have predicted," Jaclyn reflects. For earth signs—the zodiac's builders and stabilizers—that statement feels both like a warning and an invitation.
