Here is the English translation of the horoscope predictions for the year 2026, as published in the Sunday Lankadeepa newspaper.

How will the upcoming year 2026 be for you? Here are the astrological predictions according to your Zodiac sign:

Aries (Mesha)

Economic Improvement

According to the horoscope of those born under the Aries sign, planetary power is active in an auspicious manner in the new year. Therefore, the dawning new year will be spent fruitfully.

Arrangements will be made for the improvement of your economy, employment, and marriage-related matters. However, until May, the planet Jupiter (Guru) travels in a troublesome manner, so it is not good for physical health. If there was an illness, it may worsen. It also indicates a change in workplace or residence. Alternatively, during this period, you may feel like leaving your village. Work that was abandoned in the past due to financial or external issues will be prepared to restart.

Education, Economy, and Employment: Although there will not be severe obstacles to education this year, studies must be carried out with enthusiasm and interest. Specifically, during the first 6 months, you will have to conduct educational activities amidst various obstacles. A lack of interest and lethargy may arise. In the last 6 months, this nature will disappear, and you will be able to engage in studies with a clear mind.
Work will be done to improve the economy. Profits from earnings and transactions done with profit expectations will be realized only after needs have passed. Since there will be financial loss, do not transact with untrustworthy people. As income decreases, you may sometimes have to get involved in debt transactions. Expenses will be high.
A new job opportunity suiting your education and skills may come this year, but you will have to work hard for it. Since there will be trouble, losses, and delays in activities related to jobs and businesses, execute them according to a plan. You may feel like leaving your workplace. Be careful as this is a time for allegations and blame from institutions.
Love and Marriage: Although you will easily attract the opposite sex this year, you will have to spend time resolving issues arising from love affairs and married life. Confusing situations that affected these areas will arise further. Although there is room for successful marriage decisions, if you are not farsighted, these opportunities will not occur properly.

Taurus (Vrushabha)

High Expenses

According to your horoscope, planetary power operates in a mixed manner (both good and bad). Therefore, the new year brings a mix of auspicious and inauspicious results. However, generally, planned long-term activities will not fail.

High expenses will occur. You may have to go into debt for additional funds for a new investment. Unexpected messes will arise due to words spoken or work started without foresight. Useless journeys will occur frequently. This is a time when you work hard for things that yield no benefit. There will be trouble and mental worry regarding certain things happening to you. You may not receive good from family members, but they will receive help from you.

Education, Economy, and Employment: Throughout this year, interest in books will decrease, and you will lean towards entertainment. Do not give in to this; prioritize your educational activities. Disappointments may arise regarding educational institutions. Be interested in associating with friends who are more inclined towards learning.
Although you will receive expected financial gains this year, expenses will occur in the same manner. Engage in earning methods with careful planning. Generally, this is a year where saving money is difficult.
Specifically, certain advantages and benefits will be available to you through certain avenues.
The environment is set for engaging enthusiastically in jobs and trade businesses. Act in a way that prevents problematic issues from arising in employment and business matters. Facilities received at work may decrease slightly. Be careful as there is a possibility of troublesome nature in jobs and businesses.
Love and Marriage: This brings mixed results for love affairs and marriage. Protect yourself, as established relationships may break due to unnecessary and deceitful talk. If you can maintain good behavior this month, you can form new relationships. Since there are indications of mutual trust and goodwill being damaged with your partner, it is important to always act with mutual cooperation.

Gemini (Mithuna)

Victory from Challenges

For Gemini owners, the upcoming new year operates auspiciously, so you will have the ability to succeed in planned work as expected. This is a year where you will engage more in useful work. Results of your efforts will be received, and the ability to win challenges exists. It is a year of joy and peace. Physical health will be good. You will get the chance to buy valuable things. However, do not create conflicts with friends through your choice of words.

Education, Economy, and Employment: You can be happy about the success of your educational activities this year, and your mind will turn towards higher education. Enthusiasm and dedication will be prominent. You will show various talents among other students. You will win competitive exams.
You will show a nature of being very dedicated to improving your economic affairs this year. Generally, you will be able to gain 100% economic and property benefits. Therefore, income sources will be built, and economic progress will occur. You will be free from many economic problems that affected you. Inheritance issues will be resolved, and benefits related to them will be received. Savings will increase.
Regarding jobs and business, a better change is shown compared to the past year. There will be forward movement in current jobs, self-employment, or partnerships. Obstacles affecting duties will be removed. Specifically, a new change will occur in jobs and businesses. The background for job promotions will be set, foreign employment hopes will be fulfilled, and you will be able to work with peace of mind.
Love and Marriage: Hopes regarding love affairs and marriage will be fulfilled. An atmosphere will be set for a relationship that was abandoned some time ago to restart. Delayed marriage proposals will be confirmed. Often, this is a year where you meet the opposite sex more and build friendships with them.

Cancer (Kataka)

Savings Will Be Spent

For those born under Cancer, the new year generally brings both auspicious and inauspicious results equally. Do not let your skills be suppressed; act with efficiency. Perform your duties responsibly to carry out activities successfully without obstacles or delays. Therefore, it is better to do everything with care and vigilance. There is a possibility of illnesses like blood disorders (Rakta Dosha) and stomach ailments.

Education, Economy, and Employment: Looking at the position of the lord of education, educational activities can be carried out systematically only if you do not engage in extra work and unnecessary actions. Pay attention to this. However, this is also a time when the mind does not focus solely on studies.
Since the lords of wealth and income are moving inauspiciously, earning methods may not be good, savings may be spent, and it may be difficult to balance income and expenditure, leading to some economic difficulties. Attention to additional income sources will be less than in the previous year. As useless expenses and journeys will be frequent, focus more on strengthening earning sources. For Cancer sign holders born under Uthrapal, Hatha, and Sitha stars, paths for economic strength and improvement will be created.
Although opportunities will arise to increase knowledge related to duties and fulfill expectations regarding jobs and businesses, generally, you will not be allowed to perform duties with satisfaction this year. There is room for changes in job or business locations. However, work tirelessly for progress. After the first 6 months, the unsatisfying atmosphere that had emerged in employment will gradually disappear.
Love and Marriage: There will be a mix of good and bad regarding love relationships and marriage. Although the background is set for a new relationship or marriage agreement, plans may change due to external troubles. Married life will proceed normally. Sudden acquaintances may occur through trips, but there will be some opposition to them.

Leo (Simha)

Obstacles in Employment and Business

The dawning new year will bring you mixed results. After May, the wisdom to conduct your affairs properly may not manifest. In the first six months, enemy troubles will disappear, and many positive changes will occur. Be tactical to succeed in plans through courage and efficiency. Dedicate yourself more to achieving your goals. Be interested in doing the necessary work at the necessary time.

Education, Economy, and Employment: The first six months show progress in studies. You will have the ability to win competitive exams. In the last six months, interest in books will decrease, so act with enthusiasm.
Systematic growth in wealth generation sources that had set back or weakened in the past will be built before this year passes. Monetary and material gains will be arranged. However, troubles may arise in livelihood places, causing economic setbacks. Unwanted problems will arise from associating with unsuitable people.
Generally, although various obstacles will arise in your professional and business activities this year, you can overcome them through self-confidence. If you engage in activities without giving up, you can secure new job opportunities and business improvements. Partnerships will improve. Specifically, after June 2026, you will have to carry out job and business activities amidst obstacles, delays, and opposition. Be careful and vigilant there.
Love and Marriage: Although a favorable atmosphere builds for love relationships and marriage proposals, suspicion regarding the partner will cause things harmful to peace and harmony.
