Big changes coming our way….
The Astrology Of 2026 – Saturn Conjunct Neptune In Aries
2026 is one of those big, milestone years that make history and stay with us for a long time.
2026 continues a story that began taking shape in 2025, especially in the first part of the year, when Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus first entered new signs.
If 2025 was the ‘test run’, 2026 is the ‘real deal’ – because these ingresses are now triggered by exact aspects that set things into motion.
What makes some years – like 2026 – more ‘special’ astrology-wise than others?
It always comes down to the outer planets forming significant alignments. Let’s take 1969, 1989, and 2020 as examples of other milestone years:
- In 1969, we had a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Libra, part of a stellium with Pluto and the South Node, marking a time of cultural and technological revolution
- In 1989, the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune alignment in Capricorn heralded the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War
- In 2020, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction (part of a Capricorn stellium) followed by the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0° Aquarius triggered a seismic shift in global structures
- The ‘headline’ transit of 2026 is the Saturn-Neptune conjunction – which occurs not at any random degree, but at the very beginning of the zodiac, at 0° Aries.
0° Aries is the beginning of the 360-degree Aries-Pisces zodiac, a point of initiation and new cycles. So having Saturn and Neptune conjunct here signals a powerful new beginning – a true Genesis moment.
Tropical astrology, which we all use today, is based on the equinoxes and solstices, with the Aries equinox – 0° Aries, marking the beginning of the astrological year.
The importance of 0° Aries was long understood in traditional astrology – back in the day, the 0° Aries ingress chart was used to predict the fate of kings and the collective direction of the year in mundane astrology.
Modern astrology has largely forgotten just how important this cardinal point is. But here we are, in 2026, with a configuration – Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries – humanity hasn’t witnessed in thousands of years, and we won’t see again for a very long time.
The last time Saturn and Neptune conjuncted at 0° Aries is believed to have occurred more than 9,000 years ago, around 7,000 BC – a period that coincided with the birth of agriculture and the rise of settled human life.
THAT is the type of scale and magnitude we’re talking about here.
This doesn’t mean that on February 21st, 2026, when the two planets conjunct, a switch will flick and the world will instantly look different.
2026 And 0° Aries – A New World
However, whether we recognize it in the moment or only later, looking back in retrospect, a new era will be born – a fundamental shift in how reality is structured and experienced.
Coming back to the astrology of 2026: the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in February sets the tone for the entire year, and by April 2026, when Uranus re-enters Gemini, it will ‘click’ for all of us that Yes – we are living in a completely new world.
If in 2025 we got the question – is AI a real thing or just another hype? Is the economy really shifting toward something new, or will we simply return to the global patterns of the last decades? – 2026 will give us the answer.
2026 will show us a clear direction, and there will be no doubt about which way we’re heading. We are not in the old world anymore.
The second half of 2026 introduces a new energy into this new matrix: Jupiter enters Leo, Chiron enters Taurus, and the Lunar Nodes shift from Virgo/Pisces to Leo/Aquarius.
If the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are the ones setting the long-term direction – Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, and the Lunar Nodes act as the second line of intervention. This is where things become real.
It’s interesting that Jupiter, Chiron, and the Nodes all enter fixed signs, helping stabilize, anchor, and implement the agenda introduced by the outer planets. 2026 is when the larger shifts begin to materialize and take shape in everyday life.
Now let’s get a feel for the most important transits of the year and how they shape this turning-point moment.
The most important transits of 2026:
February 2026 – Saturn Conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries
If you’re familiar with the Tarot archetypes, 0° Aries reminds us of the Fool. This is the first card in the deck – the innocent stepping into the unfamiliar, one step ahead of the known, into the unknown with trust.
At first glance, the Fool may appear naive or even foolish. But in his openness and unguarded presence, we can sense there’s a deep inner knowing at work, as if he’s animated by something larger than reason.
Similarly, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries feels like a new beginning, but also like something we’ve always known – something that existed before time was born. It’s a return to ourselves AND to the world – starting from zero and returning to zero.
With one foot on the edge of the known and one already stepping into the unknown, we are at the center – at the center of ourselves and at the center of the world at the same time – the primordial point from which new possibilities begin to take form.
Something is rearranging inside of us while, and at the same time, the world itself changes direction.
What exactly emerges next depends on individual context. This can show up as a literal new beginning, but it can also work in subtler ways – like a deep internal realignment.
Regardless, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at the zero degree of the zodiac marks a shift where we are no longer willing to live our lives by inherited or outdated scripts.
The mist gathered in the last degrees of the zodiac clears up – and the landscape that appears looks like nothing we’ve seen before.
April 2026 – Uranus (re)enters Gemini
On April 26th, 2026, Uranus enters Gemini. Uranus has already given us a taste of this Gemini energy between July and November 2025. But this time he’s here to stay – this is IT.
Gemini is a natural placement for Uranus. Gemini is curious and mobile. Uranus is fast and restless. Uranus in Gemini can bring us brilliant ideas and progress at the speed of light, moving faster than our nervous systems can keep up with.
If 2025 was the ‘test run’ for 2026, 2026 is when things truly accelerate and we will get to witness what this transit is really about.
In Gemini, Uranus will revolutionize the way information moves, how we communicate, and how we connect, triggering a total technological and communication revolution.
With Uranus in Gemini, centralized platforms lose dominance as new, decentralized channels emerge and people move away from traditional broadcasting like TV, newspapers, and mainstream media.
Uranus in Gemini will ask us to quickly adapt and keep up with the times, and people who are ahead of the curve in terms of digital literacy, information fluency, and mental flexibility will benefit most from this shift.
Agility – staying curious, flexible, and open to constant change will become the real currency of this transit.
