Start With Your Ascendant
If you are asking "what house does this 2026 transit hit?", start with your Rising sign. Your Ascendant sets the houses, so every major 2026 transit lands in a different life area for each chart. This page maps Uranus in Gemini, Jupiter in Leo, the North Node in Aquarius, the 2026 eclipses, the Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Minor Grand Trine, and Barbault's Basket by Rising sign. Generate your free natal chart to confirm your Ascendant, then use the tables below.
Use this as the hub, then move into the newer image-rich deep dives: July 2026 Astrology Forecast, Jupiter in Leo 2026, North Node in Aquarius 2026, and Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Triangle 2026.
Use This When Date Pages Are Not Enough
Date pages answer when. This hub answers where in my life does it land? That is the higher-intent step after someone checks an ingress, eclipse, or named configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is my rising sign?
Your Rising sign (Ascendant) is the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at your birth. It requires your exact birth time and place. Generate your free natal chart to find it.
Why does my rising sign matter for 2026 transits?
Your Rising sign sets your house cusps. When Uranus enters Gemini, it activates the house where your chart has Gemini — and that's different for every Rising sign. Same for Jupiter in Leo, the Nodes, and eclipses.
Can I use this without my birth time?
No. Your Rising sign changes roughly every 2 hours. Without birth time, you won't know which houses the transits activate. Use Sun sign as a general guide only.
