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.

In 2026, four eclipses will occur, shifting focus toward the Aquarius-Leo axis, which initiates a new, two-year, fated, and transformative story. Major themes involve innovation, community, and personal authenticity, with key events on February 17 (Aquarius Solar), March 3 (Virgo Lunar), August 12 (Leo Solar), and August 28 (Pisces Lunar).
