Introduction

Interviewer: [0:05 – 0:33]
Mariana Minsker is with you, and we need to talk about what awaits us in 2026. With me in the studio is astrologer Svetlana Dragan. Svetlana, hello. Thank you for taking the time. 2026 is the year of the fiery horse, big changes and opportunities. Hold on tight. We are on the threshold of one of the most difficult periods in 2026. These are roughly the forecasts I read for the coming year. What kind of year awaits us?

Global changes in 2026

Svetlana: [0:33 – 1:10]
When such a question is asked, it seems relatively short, but a year is so packed that it’s hard to fit all the areas that will change into one such question. But practically everything will change, everything. But if we talk about some periods that will be most important, pivotal, and will open a new era for us, we can say that. Being right now on the cusp of these turns, which, by the way, won’t happen exactly from January 1st, but more likely will start happening in mid-February. And the year…

Interviewer: [1:10 – 1:12] It starts exactly on February 17th.

Planetary Aspects and Eclipses

Svetlana: [1:12 – 11:06]
Yes. It’s not related to the start of the year, because there are planetary circumstances that hint that around February 17th and beyond, everything changes completely. We already feel it, we understand that the preamble that exists all over the world, economically, geopolitically, humanly, seems to be signaling that everything is about to explode with a new scenario. And that’s exactly what happens. The thing is, on February 17, 2026, there will be a very serious, very global solar eclipse, and it’s not just any eclipse. It interacts with a very sharp, unexpected, turning point, and I would say, revolutionary planet. At the same time, two of the most global planets, among the most global, enter a completely new position, practically holding hands. They’re walking hand in hand, creating the first signs of a new era in all senses.

It is clear that we, as humans, think that we are shaping the geopolitical landscape with our own efforts, planting ideas, and so on. But here, the processes are much more significant, because natural forces, let’s call them that or any metaphysical terminology you prefer, are planning to initiate a colossal reboot. A reboot of everything on Earth and beyond, not just on this planet, but on a scale that is almost cosmogenic. Therefore, we are merely a projection, one of many projections, of something that has been conceived on a much larger, global scale.

Since the update occurs at every level – physical, biological, metaphysical, chemical – of course, nothing can remain calm, indifferent, as all these processes are interconnected. And all the forms and structures that existed, they acquire completely different qualities and, indeed, begin a new life path. Naturally, when such things happen, I think we haven’t encountered them. Even history struggles to remember such moments. In such times, of course, everything collapses. All previous economic models, algorithms, naturally, all geopolitical arrangements, priorities, everything will fly into the abyss, to be honest. But since this is not a one-minute process, and not even a one-month process, we can first observe some precursors of chaos, which will manifest more strongly by spring, because, above all, the economy, as a result of the overall inability of the former system to continue functioning further, to live in the previous regime, will start to feel it.

Fall of Former Leaders

Of course, geopolitical processes will inevitably build up around this. And what’s most significant, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but these events will occur during the summer, later, or perhaps they’re already a prelude to the downfall of all the crowns, so to speak. The former leaders, the former notion of how this arrogance in power is constructed, all of that will be shattered. But before that happens and a more sensible, rational program is presented, many processes will seem extremely hot, revolutionary. Discontent with leaders of countries, especially those opposing the world, will be so vividly expressed, so powerful, this agony of resistance, that it will evoke strange feelings, because it’s illogical. It will become clear that things cannot remain as they are, and well-known leaders, like Merkel, for example, when I watch the overall situation of leaders, it’s striking how this world is falling apart and how strangely these leaders are behaving.

It’s clear that Mercz has one such star that drives him to be fanatically devoted to his idea, and, let’s say, all his principles that might seem morally questionable; he’s not about to betray them, he might even act more harshly, and, in general, it will all come back to bite him. And since the economy is already showing signs of failure in February, with the dollar approaching 13, perhaps February is a hint, a signal that a critical element of the system is beginning to crumble and requires change. In fact, the entire economy can no longer function on a predictable principle. Furthermore, there are deliberate factors that, let’s say, will even be strategically planned. Because, well, when I look at it, I always consider all trends. For some, it’s New Year’s, but for me, it’s almost like a dynamic.

Global Economy and BlackRock

It was clear that the well-known Larry Fink, who has his own plans for the economy and leads BlackRock, a very powerful, far-sighted, and responsible entity for all economic processes, played a role in many crisis moments in the past. And it seems that April will be a month that clearly signals such destruction in the economy. For some, it’s a destructive force, while for others, it’s a plan designed for specific purposes, for new forms of technology that we seem to be afraid of, but technology will dominate everything. Therefore, I won’t even mention March, as you can see the turbulence unfolding step by step. For instance, on March 3rd, there will be a total lunar eclipse. What is a total eclipse? It’s an inevitable scenario with no room for error, where there’s only one path. And this path, in fact, leads to the departure of old power paradigms.

In addition to all of this, in astrology, we have the concept of “nodes.” Some call them lunar, others karmic, it doesn’t matter. They serve as points of reference for monumental changes. And one of these nodes becomes, well, a descending node, meaning what is supposed to leave becomes aligned with a star like Regulus, sometimes called Regulusus. This star is associated with kings, queens, and all forms of monarchical power, whether overt or covert. But this marks the sunset of monarchical rule in all senses. So when people ask if something is good or bad, destruction is always dramatic. Yet this destruction paves the way for introducing entirely new trends, new worldviews, and new economies, not just on Earth, but globally. And it won’t happen instantly. Around late April, another significant planetary argument will be added, indicating that the entire informational structure, everything related to communications, the internet, and technologies aiding our communication, will undergo changes. The internet and platforms we know today are unlikely to remain the same. With this comes a new era of open forms not only of connection, but also of a cosmic internet, which I would call a new energy that is trying to break through.

Other Worlds and Civilizations

At the same time, a completely new understanding of other worlds, other civilizations, enters our lives. Not only those we imagine, but alien, cosmic, arrivals. No, even down to the underground world, down to the underwater world. And, indeed, that’s why we got a share of informational hype this spring about this trilogy. And, by the way, we talked to you last year that this agenda would arise. And it has, not to reveal its cards right away, but to open up to us in 2026, in the spring of 2026, in other ways so that we’re not surprised, so that we’re prepared, for the phenomena we will observe…

Interviewer: [11:06 – 11:11]
Would be perceived more adequately. Not be surprised, perhaps…

Svetlana: [11:11 – 13:02] 
It’s difficult to deal with such events. I think this is more like the mainstream. In fact, everyone is ready and everyone understands that we are not alone on Earth, and that the processes that are happening are unstoppable and require a broader perspective and understanding that, in such a way, trying to establish any connection and claiming space, and even the weapons placed there, they are already there. In general, we need to realize something. But before we realize and start building a new world, the old one will shake with tremendous force, and we will probably see processes of deep intolerance among most people, and it will be difficult to hold, for example, old systems like the European Union or Europe in its former form. As for America, in particular Trump, his position in February could also become quite shaky. And it won’t be easy to preserve the political status he currently has. And not that he will fall, but some kind of betrayal moments could be directed at him. And his re-evaluation will also be obvious. Moreover, I understand that there is a team, and the team, considering Til, Vince, and even Larry Fink, seems to be a cohesive unit, but it’s not. And I’m not sure that Til will feel comfortable in the economic climate that will be created by the end of spring.

Russia and Ukraine in 2026

Interviewer: [13:02 – 13:19]
Well, somewhere around April-May. We will talk about the global economy and politics a little later. Now I would like to know from you what awaits Russia in 2026? Will WhatsApp and YouTube be closed? In general, will this year be worse or better? What will it be like for Russia? And most importantly, will peace come?

Svetlana: [13:19 – 13:57]
This is a short question that would require a short answer, but in fact, everything that will happen with Russia, and all the important points, they are basically postponed to the second half of the year. And in the foreground, first of all, there will be the destruction of Ukraine’s previous ties with its partners, and so on. Everything related to the Ukrainian topic, during 2026, almost in several stages, ties with previous partners will be broken…

Interviewer: [13:57 – 13:58]
Everything…

Svetlana: [1:58 – 5:54] Reoriented. To what? I’ll explain. In fact, of course, the story with Ukraine is falling apart by spring. It’s becoming completely helpless in terms of resistance. As for Zelensky, I assume his departure from March to August, but most likely in June. And, of course, there’s a revolutionary mood, but it can’t be said that everything there will transform and organize into a completely new trend. I would say that there’s a transition to a new stage of change in August, that is, a new government, as if a new power. Perhaps in February or spring, there will be a rather challenging period for us in terms of territory, what to agree on, what not to agree on. But judging by the fact that by July we will probably have to consider such issues as structural questions of organizing these new territories, then by July we will probably see, let’s say, a victorious part, perhaps not exact categories. I’m just very careful with words, I understand how words work.

And all I see is one thing, which, strangely enough, in this moment of important political history for Russia, when we have to work with a new idea of regional governance, territorial expansion seems to be on the table. And strangely enough, a very important political figure in the form of a woman seems to be involved. As if the participation of a female personality as a politically significant figure would be very important for Russia. It just jumped out at me. Any topic can be developed to great detail, but perhaps that will be difficult now. So, I would say, the first part, roughly until July, is more focused on the destruction of the old, especially Western, systems, including, of course, economic systems. Economically, we will see a completely different world.

Internet and the Information Space

I assume that, perhaps not just me, everyone is noticing the growing tension in the digital realm, becoming increasingly apparent as we approach July. It’s almost like a military situation, but in what way? It’s a struggle for dominance in this space, with someone needing to take the lead. Everyone expects some form of unified control over this environment. However, planets are shifting, advocating for freer access to everything-information, energy, and the ability to chart one’s own course and economic destiny, surprisingly enough. You see, an immense array of contradictions is entering our lives, and it cannot be resolved in a unified manner. Therefore, despite the sense of information blockade, it will be very difficult, I believe, to maintain such strict policies of information restriction after April.

Interviewer: [17:54 – 18:01] 
It’s very difficult. But nevertheless, we won’t see a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine until July, or maybe even later, we could say?

Svetlana: [6:01 PM – 8:00 PM] 
I think by June, roughly. Military processes cannot exist in the form they are now. There’s just no more of that authority, those ideas, that cooperation between Ukraine and its former sponsors because there’s no more of the old Europe. Even Germany looks completely different. When we now consider how we will cooperate with Germany, with France, we imagine the Germany we knew, but it’s no longer there. The entire political and geopolitical landscape cannot be viewed through the old concept based on these ideas. Therefore, Ukraine will likely remain in an aggressive state until spring, because by the end of January we might still see a motivated Zelensky, as if he has some chance to continue his activities and the war further. We can see that.

However, this moment ends in February, and if there is an event that immediately unravels everything, well, praise be, but there is a turning point there, and it puts an end to these questions. It will happen immediately for some reason, or it might drag on, but I don’t think it will. What we are witnessing now, we have seen this in the fall as well, because the planets have not yet taken any decisive steps and have left us to grapple with some old issues, trying to solve them. There is no dynamics, no solutions, and the planets have not yet formed the important relationships they are supposed to. So, I believe events will unfold sharply, and in February, especially the third decade, will start putting an end to the whole previous world picture, including the war we so desire to finish.

Military Conflicts Around the World

Interviewer: [8:00 – 8:09]
Will there be military conflicts next year? Middle East, Venezuela, what about them? Could there be other hot spots?

Svetlana: [8:09 – 8:57] 
A bright moment that we’re expecting sometime in July, July-August. This is a very powerful moment of danger. You mentioned about fire, about fiery forces. That’s definitely the case. There’s a sense of danger, and it can come from technological disasters. It could also be some very dramatic military confrontation. Especially with a global explosive moment threatening, maybe even nuclear issues. It’s like a threat. But I have this feeling, like when planets align in such a way, they haven’t been this close before to such a point…

Interviewer: [8:57 – 8:59] Boiling points. Wasn’t there something like that?

Svetlana: [8:59 – 9:09] To find a moment like this, it would take, I don’t know, 250, 500 years. We can’t even historically imagine it for ourselves.

Interviewer: [21:09 – 21:09]
Any analogies?

Svetlana: [21:09 – 21:41]
There are no analogies, and there is only one. On the one hand, there is a planet that destroys power in its previous form, when it is associated with such high costs, the image of wealth. The whole thing is completely destroyed, and even everything that hints at it, including pop culture, will fail. It’s like a projection of this whole life.

Interviewer: [21:41 – 21:44]
So beautifully fashionable, majorly expensive. And will freedom come to replace it?

Conflict of eras

Svetlana: [21:44 – 24:56]This is not freedom, it’s a conflict of necessary… What’s the conflict? On one hand, things that… We always understood that there’s some kind of inner power, an elite, that somewhere on some level guides us in a coordinated manner. This elite is facing its final moments, while on the other hand, a leader is needed to at least coordinate things in such conditions when geopolitical chaos needs to be addressed. And there’s an attempt to find a leader, which, by the way, Trump will be very active in, even if he may have lost some bearings, because he’ll be in a state of agitation. And there’s an incredible fight that starts… I want freedom, but it needs a different culture, a different leader, and the appearance of a new leader is also possible. This is when Russia begins a new phase, under new economic changes, new perspectives, new trends. We also need to do something.

Indeed, there is a strong indication that by 2026, the economy will be poised for a significant transition to new rails, but these rails will not be fully operational until 2027, a year later. The idea of constructing a new economic concept is not isolated; attempts to forge connections and explore interaction options are more evident than ever. Furthermore, entirely new alliances will emerge. There is a need to restart the organization known as “Russia.” Initially, I believed that this process would begin in August, continue through September, and extend into the autumn and October. However, as I delve deeper into this complex mathematical study, I’ve realized that the transformation continues into February 2027, with a new structure. Thus, the restructuring in our country and all related issues are very apparent. Why?

Because yes, we think it’s a political context, but actually, the forms of economy, the ideas, and the events that occur in geopolitical life completely reshape social issues. We understand that social issues are almost directly dependent on geopolitics. And now, the inner space of human life will be arranged differently. How can processes be managed if, partly due to new technologies, many will have to leave their positions? Simply because it’s no longer relevant. As programmers, who are currently, as you understand, also in a very difficult situation.

Interviewer: [24:56 – 24:57] So, will people lose their jobs?

Svetlana: [24:57 – 25:19] This is not a loss of employment. It’s a loss of the relevance of previous management mechanisms. That’s basically it. Of course, it won’t affect everyone in the same way. It will touch everyone to the very top. And when such a need arises, everyone will have to make some choice, and it can be a very serious choice.

Astrological Predictions for People by Zodiac Signs

Interviewer: [25:19 – 25:33] Let’s now move from the abstract to the concrete. What can people expect in 2026, especially Russians? What about personal finances? What about health? Should anyone be careful about something?

Svetlana: [25:33 – 30:51]First of all, of course, there are no equal conditions for everyone, and each person has their own unique circumstances. When it comes to health, as the planets align, the most obvious impact is on the head area. So, it’s a complex issue, as it’s not just about health. It’s also about how this period of transition can be exploited as a weapon. The effect on human psychology and mental state will be the main focus. And naturally, this leads to a restructuring of brain activity.

That’s likely the case. And, let’s say, if there was a trial in the spring, but it was only testing, and perhaps someone felt some odd sensations within themselves. However, when these planets align, entering a position after February where everything related to our consciousness, subconscious, our relationship with our bodies, our water balance, and even the reprogramming of water within and around our bodies begins to reset, the head area is one of the most vulnerable. But when an individual has autonomy in their thinking, in their attempt to analyze and form their own opinion, the risk of such a disease becomes minimal at a biological level. As soon as, and I don’t exclude this possibility, one of the planets takes charge, sometimes causing what we know as pandemics, where everyone is suddenly affected by something.

And this influence, which can capture everyone under any sauce, regardless of how it is presented, could be such a story. And what will it turn into? An attempt to scare, an attempt to create some sort of pharmacological dependency, anything could happen. But the independence of assessment in this matter will be the key. So, I think this is relevant for everyone. But you asked me, who should expect what. Those born around March 21st, plus or minus, and even further, from 22nd to 23rd, will primarily feel many things on themselves, but don’t think it’s only biological processes. It’s a restructuring of personality, a restructuring of all the goals that were there. It’s such a powerful re-evaluation, perhaps even through some drama, where one might need to be alone for a while to realize some things. But this won’t last long, because starting in July, and not just in July, even as early as April, there will be a push for these people towards completely new opportunities, towards liberation from what they thought was heavy, and perhaps they thought they were alone in some questions. By July, it will give such a powerful boost to the creative process, to some joy. And, by the way, for women, it’s a question of pregnancy for some and so on. So, a compensation for all the problems that exist is prepared for everyone.

Born on February 17

And, of course, for many born on February 17th, or around that time, life will reshape and redefine many things. It will create a portal for them to reevaluate their professional paths, themselves, and their self-actualization. For women, this is often a question more closely tied to relationships with men. Once, these women might have thought they needed a certain type of man, but now, their needs have changed. Destiny, after all, arranges things differently. It might start by suggesting the removal of former partners, business or otherwise. This could be a man, or anyone, not necessarily a husband, it could be a son, anyone, but for many born during this time, this will be a surprising revelation. I believe, under such circumstances, one should not try to hold onto what is no longer relevant. No, do not abruptly end relationships, especially around February 17th, because they will be impossible to mend afterward. But if destiny presents such an opportunity, one should listen, because life will be reassessed so thoroughly, to the point where people we even valued may no longer be considered as such… Even renowned scientists of the past, once considered luminaries. Everything will be reevaluated. Physics will be rethought. The past is fading away.

Interviewer: [30:51 – 30:53] You’re aware I’m not a fan of horoscopes?

Lions

Svetlana: [30:53 – 36:44]Yes, of course. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that for Lviv, especially after July, starting practically from the beginning of July, a whole year of opportunities unfolds. Many of the Lvivs who were born around July 25th, for instance, on or near July 25th, are facing a very peculiar situation. Most likely, they will encounter dramatic circumstances in July where they’ll have to make a choice, but this opportunity will come to them. It will be both adventurous and unsettling, but if they don’t seize it, it won’t come again. It’s a significant turning point in life where the risk is worth it, but everything related to physiological dangers… When a person realizes they’re going into the mountains, I don’t know, they’re playing with fire. Fire is a very dangerous element, especially for those born around July 25th. So, yes, there are opportunities, but the confrontation is very serious. So, for them, perhaps, separate stories unfold. For those born later, in early August, of course, it will be a gradual story offering them new and new opportunities. And, essentially, this whole creative process and the reboot of their creative idea, thought, and possibility – will be a powerful story for them.

Twins

And those who would also like to be mentioned are those born around May 21st. And a little further, around May 22-23. These are the early twins, the very earliest. They might have sensed something was about to happen. I think, perhaps, around summer they realized life wouldn’t leave them alone, and things wouldn’t remain as they were. But then fate retreated and said, “Don’t worry.” But now it’s time for complete changes, unexpected, grand discoveries for those who seek knowledge, who want to learn, who want to move forward. This is the time. For those who want to stay in their previous positions – it’s impossible to do so. Keeping things the same, staying with old people, friends, will be difficult. But most importantly, be careful with heights. Falls, flights, for them, are very dangerous, especially towards the end of April. From the end of April, the earliest twins need to be extra careful. It’s not safe. It doesn’t necessarily have to be from an airplane. I’ve encountered such things when this planet creates such funny stories. People fall down stairs, off beds, from anywhere, but it’s always a fall, and it’s always some kind of discovery. Twins usually love trying new things. Perhaps they’ll enjoy it, but it’s truly… If you’re opening a path to new knowledge, height might slightly distance itself from you, because it wants, just like Newton, when an apple fell on his head, roughly so.

Aries, Virgo, Pisces

Many will encounter this, especially those born in the earliest Aries, Virgo, and Pisces. For all of them, for the most part, but the situation will change dramatically. Everyone will be affected in different ways, naturally, some will face unexpected relocation. But it’s obvious that fate will create a new scenario completely unexpectedly. So, well, all I will say is that these people need to be more careful with issues of real estate, work, and relationships. This is most often the case. Because one of the most serious planets, which radically changes circumstances, has a rather tough plan – to change it unexpectedly. If, for example, it’s about some real estate topic, then you need to be very careful, because everything will go not according to plan. However, for the early Twins, and for the early Aries, yes, the chances of success are much higher. This is when misfortune can turn into happiness. And there are so many openly interesting scenarios that we simply don’t have enough time to describe a scenario for each of those we’ve mentioned.

Cancer

There are also those born on July 20th, who will experience a complete reconstruction of their lives. Although the planets, despite their radical proposals at both a global and personal level, get along quite nicely with each other. And usually, despite all the drama that will pursue them, they still provide opportunities to rebuild their lives in a more gentle version, in a very constructive and interesting way. Well, it will just require movement and trust that, if you are suddenly disappointed in someone, it doesn’t mean that on this planet there are no one you can be charmed by.

Interviewer: [36:44 – 36:44]
Or by whom you can be charmed.

Aquarians and Capricorns

Svetlana: [36:44 – 38:19] Is there such a thing as a “Capricorn-Aquarius”? No, it doesn’t exist. Aquariuses have been going through massive changes since around November, possibly since November 24th, and they are especially early. It’s challenging for them, some might say they are now uncontrollable. But now, it will mostly affect Aquariuses born around January 23rd and beyond, a few days into January 27th. This marks the beginning of a powerful restructuring period for them, and they might feel unwell as their bodies adjust. They were already struggling to understand their place in the current social system, and now they have to integrate everything, which will take at least a year and a half. So, the circumstances are serious, especially for those born around January 25th. The situation will be a direct choice between facing a drama and conflict to enter new life circumstances, find new partners, and embark on a promising new path. But this conflict will lead them to new people and opportunities.

Interviewer: [38:19 – 38:20] 
Is this in business?

Svetlana: [38:20 – 39:10] 
In every way. There are many business issues, but what does the planet want from them? It wants them to reevaluate everything, and then they will be taken along with them on a beautiful path. This won’t be an easy story. For late Capricorns, they need to hurry, at least until July, they will have a chance. The planets have promised them some things, said it would be now, and they are disappointed that they’re not getting anything. But literally very soon, from the end of January and a little further, the distribution of prizes they have been waiting for will begin. And usually, they need to get all of this done before the beginning of July, which will create a very favorable environment for them.

Interviewer: [39:10 – 39:13] 
Yes. Who else do we have there? Aries, Pisces…

Svetlana: [39:13 – 39:13]
Well…

Interviewer: [39:13 – 39:16]
Scales, scorpions, crabs.

Fish

Svetlana: [39:16 – 41:19]
So, maybe for each one, for people… Well, there’s a lot… So much of everything, including fish. Not every fish will experience significant changes in the way we’d like to hear. For example, the fish born around March 3rd. There will be significant changes for them. Their fate will provide them with a clear view of who they are, who others are, and where they need to go, and it will tell them that their time has come. And even if they lose everything they used to consider valuable, it’s not scary because they need to reveal themselves, their essence, and their potential. But they need to be careful around February, by the end of February or beginning of March, and be as cautious as possible in their actions. If they’re too abrupt, they might be thrown out of their boat. But on the other hand, if they’re wise enough, they’ll be given the chance to see who’s in their life. Well, there’s a lot of changes coming in, and all the fish, we should say, will feel differently after the 20th of February. It’s like their flexibility, their pliability, their docility in some matters, might change to an inner fire that drives them towards a goal. And for a while, it might even seem like a fanatic format. Not an easy story, but it’s all very indirect. It won’t happen directly with the fish, but it will greatly affect their material issues. They’ll have to create a new system of income.

Interviewer: [41:19 – 41:22] Something like that. Scales, scorpions, crabs. Who’s left?

Scorpions

Svetlana: [41:22 – 44:41] For late Scorpios, this is a particularly significant review of their location and base life questions, including work-related issues. This restructuring will happen unexpectedly but will be completed by the end of April, marking a new scenario. However, for Scorpios, especially those born around October 23-26, the July days will also present indirect or direct challenges, stemming from partners’ unresolved issues. This will test their courage, as they tend to resolve their issues in extraordinary, risky ways when everything is on the line. Even though they claim to not enjoy this, they will embrace it.

Born on August 12th and 28th

Who was born around August 12th, especially? This is also a very significant moment, a complete reboot for personalities, their positions, and their sense of importance. On the one hand, despite all of this, success will come later, but it won’t happen in the same place or under the same circumstances. There will be a multitude of people involved in these changes. And August 28th is also for those who will face a bright realization-it’s as if this is for virgos. For them, it’s a special story when all their previous activities, their perspectives, and their views on men will be reevaluated. Even men’s health will be reconsidered in terms of these new perspectives.

Medicine and Pharmacology

And at the same time, by the way, all pharmaceutical issues will be drastically re-evaluated, overall approaches to pharmacology and all that biology stuff, if we talk about global questions, a new system will also be created. A new system related to the approach to the human body, the body’s connection to natural processes. This is an absolutely new trend that we will start seeing quite early this year.

I always advocate for the fact that astrology suffers from the belief that we can mass-provide such recommendations.

Interviewer: [44:41 – 44:41] No, of course not.

Svetlana: [44:41 – 46:02]
Yes, but nevertheless, with the birthdates I mentioned now, plus or minus, it will make a difference because this is my method that allows me to say that yes, they will have changes, and even areas where they will manifest. But it doesn’t mean that no one will be affected, because every astrological chart is such an individual story. When we think that zodiac signs are important, it’s not quite the case, because only the Sun is positioned in a particular zodiac sign. Judging by that alone is quite complex. There’s Venus, Mercury, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn – all scattered differently in everyone. And the interaction with their personal planets will dictate their destiny. So, I can say that the time has come when your perception of the world in which you want to live, how you think about others, will reflect your own capabilities and abilities, and so on. That is, the time has come for an individual process of not so much self-improvement, but rather awareness. Without this, you will naturally be involved in others’ processes, in others’ games.

Year of the Fire Horse

Interviewer: [46:03 – 46:17]But it’s unlikely that this will lead to any significant success. Yes, everything is very individual, but nonetheless, the 26th year is considered a year of the Fire Horse. So, for those people born in this year and for those born under the sign of Fire, is this generally a lucky year?

Svetlana: [46:17 – 49:12]
Well, look, we’re just discussing the Horse Year. It’s just Jupiter’s position, you know, only Jupiter. For those who were born in the Horse Year, Jupiter was in that position at that time, and it’s entering its point and starting a new path. It’s like a birthday, yes, a solar one, but built Jupiter-style. That’s every 12 years. So, it’s time for those born in the Horse Year to reflect, to see if they’ve achieved everything they wanted, if they’re in the position they desire, or if they have ambitions to move forward. It’s a year of reviewing and embarking on a new life path, one that’s more focused on career, self-esteem, and respect from others. It’s about, perhaps, advancing yourself socially in a new way.

Regarding fire signs, there isn’t a universal formula here. Everything related to fire, to plasma, will sometimes remind us that this element is currently in the driver’s seat. And, of course, all Martians, yes, I mean people, with strongly expressed Martian qualities, it doesn’t necessarily have to be Aries or Leo or Sagittarius. It can be a very powerful Mars; you can be an athlete, a firefighter, if you like. Anyone connected with fire in some way, with such an expression of their physical activity, of their tone, even aggressive things, for military people. This is a new format of understanding where we are heading, why, and so on. But it’s different for everyone. Simply, it’s a very hot year. It’s a year when the pot is lit to cook borscht. But it doesn’t boil differently. It’s boiling. Who likes to cook in this borscht? I don’t know. It’s unlikely there are such people. But from this, a new product will emerge. So, one can’t say. People who are used to simply living quietly, softly, maybe it will be harder for them. But the main thing to understand is that fighting against the times that have come and the new era, which is so grand, so renewed, that we don’t have analogs, but it wants to live with a new life, naturally, it encourages those who understand this, not those who are looking for reasons for problems, worries, and complaints.

Personal Relationships

Interviewer: [49:12 – 49:20] But unfortunately, or fortunately, this is also a very turbulent, sparkling, bright year for personal relationships. There will be breakups, meetings, or what?

Sveta: [49:20 – 51:12]
I think when it comes time for a re-evaluation, well, was it comfortable for you, good, but now you’re in a different status, and there’s something inside, not necessarily you, but generally, it’s when you’re in a new environment, you can’t just leave your things there, bring them in, and put them where they were. You need to be ready for disappointment, or perhaps a re-evaluation of those valuable things that seemed unimportant before. But, in essence, this change of surroundings is very powerful for many people. And, essentially, the question is who can understand, accept, and adapt to this change. And in personal relationships too, because there will be people changing. If you’re not ready to accept them as they are, and sincerity is the top priority, it’s unlikely anything will work out. Of course, those who experience these transformations, especially those mentioned, will be difficult to be around, because they’re seeking something different. I’ve seen many people say, “Maybe I should go back to my ex-wife?” I don’t want to. That’s roughly what they say, but you understand there’s no more movement there, that experience is over. A new experience is required. Every person will need a new life experience because they’re transitioning to a new community, new relationships, and a new understanding. When we change even our perspective on common things and common people, everything opens up completely differently…

Interviewer: [51:13 – 51:16] 
What you can’t stay in the same place. Well, yes, let’s put it this way: you can’t go back in time and you don’t need to.

Svetlana: [51:16 – 52:16]Yes, and not only to return, but to stay the same will be quite a challenge. But again, if you understand that this script is not for sorrow, or for any worries, and everything is broken, no. It’s for you to believe in yourself and understand that you can do it yourself. Don’t expect someone to bring it to you. Here’s the deal. Because planets are entering a new phase of independence. That’s the truth. And this will be very important because there will be other rules, other rights for each person, as strange as it may sound. This will be later, probably around the middle of the year. All these changes will be discussed. I think it won’t be easy to understand and feel all of this at once. Because it’s a progressive process for everyone, and so on. But when you realize that it’s global for everyone, it might sound risky to some.

Interviewer: [52:16 – 52:23] 
Well, there’s no need to be afraid. Not to rely on others, but to rely more on yourself, on your own strength and capabilities, and to believe in yourself?

Age and a New Perspective

Svetlana: [52:24 – 53:30]Well, that’s how it is. I somehow feel that adults, mature people, would ask us, and how about pensioners and so on, and so forth. Overall, the topic of age, the perception of age, and a new understanding of what age means, will start sounding differently on all fronts. I’m not sure everything will be directly fantastic, especially regarding pensions and the like. But this is the first signal that age-related systems, from an organizational perspective and rights, will also be re-evaluated. I believe that for every person, there will be a factor they can hold onto and understand that they can be relevant and capable of restarting processes at any age, because medicine will change, completely new ideas will be launched on new foundations, with new possibilities. And the old, classic allopathic approach may also be severely discredited.

How to Celebrate the New Year

Interviewer: [53:30 – 53:38] How do you celebrate New Year? Any recommendations? Maybe something special to do on this night?

Svetlana: [53:38 – 54:27] Well, it’s an entertaining story. It doesn’t work, you know. The night isn’t about doing something specific… What do we mean when we say ‘something needs to be done’? Planets have energy. When they interact, there’s a factor. You start a program, and it kicks in. You can start it twice, three times, scream, scream, draw your images, but it might just not work. But perhaps, when we get to February 17th, a solar eclipse – that’s always the script, as programmers would say, that you can program what you need. Because it’s a moment when the past ceases to exist, the future hasn’t formed yet, and during this period of time, you lay down your program.

Interviewer: [54:27 – 54:30] 
It works. So, let’s set the desire for February 17th?

Svetlana: [54:30 – 54:45] 
Well, it’s preferable to visualize it, but it’s better not to be too specific, because a constraint will immediately arise. And then you might find yourself in a situation where this is no longer relevant for you.

Interviewer: [54:45 – 54:50] 
Ah, for example, can you give a concrete example, but of setting a desire?

Sveta: [54:50 – 56:36]Well, I had a friend who took advantage of a truly remarkable opportunity. Let me share some secrets with you. In Paris, there’s a cemetery called Père Lachaise, and there’s a grave belonging to Kardec. He was the one who communicated with spirits and is considered the founder of mediumism. There are certain rituals associated with his grave. You go there, pick a flower, make a wish, then return and place the flower, and your wish will be granted. Or so they say.Basically, you go there with a specific desire, like having a certain person stay by your side, and things work out. But life has a way of taking unexpected turns. My friend ended up meeting someone entirely different, someone who was meant for her. So, it’s not about being specific with your wishes. Some people wish for a specific amount of money, but that can restrict your possibilities.The key is to understand the broader concept of manifesting your desires. If you visualize and feel the state you want to be in, that’s what you program yourself for. You’ll receive the outcome of your programming, so it’s essential to be clear about what you want. The universe, or these planetary forces, are more likely to grant your wishes if you don’t limit them. They’ll guide you in a different direction if you do.

Life Rules in 2026

Interviewer: [56:36 – 56:39] 
So, what are some life rules from Svetlana Dragan for 2026?

Svetlana: [56:39 – 58:31] 
Rejoice in life. Rejoice in life because it’s entering a new phase. What is planetary ingress, for example, into the sign Aries, which is the beginning of everything, the start of this zodiacal cycle? It’s like a child entering and saying: “I want to renew, update you, please be happy for me, I’ll help you too.” If you resist, my energies won’t align with yours, they’ll clash. And when Jupiter enters Leo in July, which is a sign of creativity, joy, and life’s gifts, when we feel joy from the beautiful, from culture, by the way, it will be a focus again. So when we help these energies, when we’re in this context, they engage us, we’re needed. But if, let’s say, there’s no joy and everything feels forced, and you don’t want it, Aries, being a very honest sign, can’t lie, who will you be lying to? Yourself. No matter how hard you try to play a role, pretend something, it won’t work anymore. So when we talk about pop culture sometimes pretending, acting unnatural, not being genuine, sometimes it’s covered up with external effects, it won’t be interesting anymore. Now it’s about being natural. More joy from everything that’s happening. Because when you start comparing, you realize everything isn’t that bad. So joy begets joy. Fear begets fear. Everything we have is a product of our state, our attitude towards life.

New Year’s Wish

Interviewer: [58:31 – 58:35] What’s your final New Year’s wish for our viewers?

Svetlana: [58:35 – 59:29] When we think about miracles in the New Year, it’s as if miracles only happen in the New Year. But that’s not true. Miracles are what open up the 26th year. The more miracles we can imagine, because what limits do we put on ourselves? Don’t believe in these miracles, don’t believe in our ability to do things, that maybe I don’t have talent, or I’m too old, or too young for this. It doesn’t work. A miracle only happens when you allow it to be, to live and settle near you. Don’t be afraid to believe in miracles, no matter what they tell you or what bad advice they give. A miracle exists, and those who believe in it receive it.

Interviewer: [59:29 – 59:40] So I truly advise everyone to believe in miracles. That was Svetlana Dragan and I’m Marianna Minsker. Love to all and believe in miracles. Happy New Year.
