Looking Up: Your 2026 Celestial Guide to the Stars

As we wrap up 2025 and settle into the quiet magic of the winter season at The Crystal Cabin, our eyes naturally turn toward the heavens. There is a deep, ancient connection between the stones of the earth and the movements of the stars.

To help you align your intentions with the cosmos this coming year, we’ve put together a guide to the most significant celestial events of 2026. Whether you are charging your crystals under a Supermoon or setting intentions during an eclipse, here is your roadmap to the sky.

🌑 The Major Eclipses

Eclipses are powerful times for transformation and "resetting" your personal energy.

* Feb 17: Annular "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse (Visible in Southern Africa and South America).

* Mar 3: Total Lunar Eclipse ("Blood Moon"). A major event for us in North America, as well as Asia and Australia. This is a potent time for deep emotional release.

* Aug 12: Total Solar Eclipse (Crossing Greenland, Iceland, and Spain).

* Aug 27-28: Partial Lunar Eclipse (Visible in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia).

☄️ Meteor Showers (Peak Nights)

The perfect time to step outside, breathe the crisp air, and make a wish upon a falling star.

* Jan 3-4: Quadrantids (Note: The full moon may impact visibility, so look for the brightest streaks!).

* Apr 21-22: Lyrids.

* May 5-6: Eta Aquariids (Dust from the famous Halley's Comet).

* Aug 12-13: Perseids. Expect high activity this year—don't miss this one!

* Oct 21-22: Orionids.

* Dec 13-14: Geminids.

🌕 Supermoons & Rare Moon Events

When the moon is at its closest point to Earth, its energetic pull on our crystals (and ourselves) is at its peak.

* Jan 3: Wolf Supermoon (The first of three).

* May 31: Blue Moon. A rare second full moon in a single month—perfect for "once in a blue moon" manifestations.

* Dec 23-24: The Christmas Eve Supermoon. This will be the closest Supermoon since 2019. It will be a truly luminous night for the holiday season.

✨ Planetary Highlights & Conjunctions

Watch the "dance" of the planets as they align in the night sky.

* Jan 10: Jupiter at Opposition (At its brightest for the next 13 months).

* Feb 18: Mercury at Greatest Elongation (Look for it in the early morning).

* Mar 20: Venus and the Crescent Moon meet near the Pleiades star cluster.

* June 8-9: Venus & Jupiter "Double Planet" view. A stunning sight in the evening sky.

* Oct 6: The Moon passes near Jupiter.

* Nov 2: A beautiful morning alignment with the Moon near Mars and Jupiter.

📅 Seasonal Turnings

* Mar 20: March Equinox (Balance and Spring beginnings).

* June 21: June Solstice (The peak of Light).
