My cosmic friends, something rare and profoundly transformative is unfolding in the skies. Saturn and Neptune, two planetary forces that couldn't be more different, are coming together in a celestial waltz—a cycle that only happens every 36-37 years. They'll begin their slow merge in late Pisces through 2025, before forming their exact conjunction in Aries on February 20, 2026. The last time these two met in Aries? 1703. That's right—before the United States, Mexico, Canada even existed.
This conjunction is no ordinary alignment. Saturn is the master builder; Neptune is the cosmic dissolver. One wants discipline and boundaries, the other wants transcendence and unity. It's like an old-school architect and a free-spirited poet trying to design a city together. Expect creative tension, reality checks, and breakthroughs in consciousness.
From Pisces to Aries: A Spiritual Rebirth
In Pisces (2025), Neptune is at home, spinning dreams, illusions, and spiritual ideals. On the other hand, Saturn struggles here—trying to set rules in a realm where rules don't exist. This phase will be about dismantling outdated beliefs, institutions, and illusions. Think of it as a spiritual detox, where what no longer serves the collective dissolves. It may feel foggy, uncertain, and disorienting at times, but trust me, this is the necessary clearing before rebuilding.
Then, in 2026, as the conjunction moves into Aries, the energy shifts big time. Aries is bold, action-oriented, and fiercely independent. If Pisces was the dream, Aries is the leap of faith. This moment is when we decide to stop imagining new realities and start building them. Spiritual ideals meet courage, leadership, and pioneering action.
Evolutionary Astrology Perspective: What's the Soul Lesson?
From an evolutionary astrology lens, this conjunction is about dismantling outdated karma and the birth of a new cycle of soul growth. Here's what it's asking of us:
Release illusions – What have we been believing that no longer holds truth? Neptune in Pisces dissolves the false narratives we've clung to, while Saturn shows us what's real.
Step into spiritual responsibility – No more waiting for a savior. Saturn in Aries will say: You want a new world? You have to create it.
Act on intuition – We're moving from feeling (Pisces) to doing (Aries). This energy is about bridging the mystical with the practical. It's time to embody our highest visions instead of just dreaming about them.
Be Gentle with Yourself
This transit may feel like being pulled between disillusionment and inspiration, uncertainty and bold new beginnings. Some days, you may feel like everything is dissolving (because it is). On other days, you may feel a fire of clarity that says, This is my path.
Through it all, be kind to yourself. You are part of this incredible unfolding and don't need all the answers yet. Let what needs to dissolve, dissolve. Let what wants to emerge, emerge. Trust that even in uncertainty, you are being guided.
After all, we are not just witnessing this shift but co-creating it.
