The biggest astrology of the summer is (arguably because there is whole lot of unprecedented stuff going on) the ALMOST meeting of Saturn and Neptune, which happens in the middle of July, but is in play now and being triggered by Jupiter this week.
This conjunction won't be exactly exact until late February 2026, but events now MIGHT be a good indicator of what is coming. Maybe we get a heads-up, a warning shot is fired - something like this (and it could be when Mars reaches 0 degrees Aries in early April 2026, that this stuff is fully activated).
Saturn is the sign of reality/what is/structure/authority/karma/endings.
The last time Saturn met an outer planet (Neptune, Pluto or Uranus) was when Saturn met Pluto - and Mercury and Ceres and the Sun - back in January 2020. Reality/Saturn met transformation/death Pluto. This was in Capricorn, a sign Saturn rules, so a sign that is all about the same things Saturn is. I saw this as "power is cemented" Pluto/Saturn - "reality is destroyed" Saturn/Pluto.
(Keep in mind, astrology is a language, alive and breathing - the study of archetypes and patterns. When you read this blog, you are reading my interpretation. Other astrologers will see things differently. I am just reporting what I see, not what you should see or asking anyone else to see it, too.)
The world ended.
I have said this before and I know I might sound a bit overly dramatic or that I am speaking metaphorically (and I am, but I'm not) - it all feels different - how can we know it didn't?
2020 was kind of a limbo when down was up and up was down and then Saturn met Jupiter in December 2020 - the two middle planets that connect the outer planets (impersonal) to the inner planets (personal) and you might remember that Saturn was the father of Jupiter; the father he usurped. One planet rules contraction and the other rules expansion, but they were kind of like, "hey, let's hold this place together, ok?" and they did, and the world started up again (in our 3D world this was about a vaccine, but on another level, it was an unconscious collective choice to keep going; about a focus on tech and science with uncertain ramifications). This meeting was at 0 degrees Aquarius - the new world. Fixed air. The sign of the future, tech, groups, intellect, hive-mind.
Flash ahead to 2025 and 2026 which has come in the blink of an eye and now, we have Saturn/reality meeting Neptune/non-reality. Instead of an 'ending' sign like Capricorn, this is happening in the 'beginning' sign of Aries.
So, we have the Cappy world ending with Saturn/Pluto and the meeting of Saturn and Jupiter in futuristic Aquarius kind of starting up again/holding things together until Saturn meets Neptune and we get this New World created by the merging of reality and non-reality. Something like this. I am giving you a container to hold this in that might make sense. I can't know.
This NEW WORLD Saturn/Neptune is happening at 0 degrees Aries - an Aries point. THE Aries point. The first degree of the first sign.
FEBRUARY 20TH, 2026 at 11:54AM EDT. This is 3 days after a Solar Eclipse tightly conjunct the United States Moon - the people.
Saturn and Neptune will be on the IC/roots of the United States chart (also exact on the U.S. natal Bacchus, Jupiter's son and the Roman's version of Dionysius, God of excess, hedonism), Jupiter will be tightly conjunct the United States Sun (exact on natal Poseidon, the Roman's Neptune) and Uranus will be on fixed star Algol and exact on the United States natal Lachesis. Lachesis, was one of the Three Fates and along with her sisters, would, within 3 days of a child's birth, appear to decide that child's fate/length of life.
Happening 3 days before the MEGA meeting of Saturn and Neptune, I would suspect the Aquarius Solar Eclipse of February 17th, 2026 answering to Uranus on the U.S. natal Lachesis looks pretty important. Maybe also what happens within those three days.
Saturn and Neptune are so close as I write this that they can each smell what the other one had for breakfast. We are certainly already IN IT - this melding of reality and non-reality.
Back in the 1960's when Uranus met Pluto - people could see the 'Age of Aquarius' coming. I think they thought this would be something about hippies singing and dancing and making love around a campfire and when I started studying astrology and saw/felt the changes coming decades later and being an Aquarius myself, I thought, "probably not so much this campfire Kumbaya stuff".
Pluto in Aquarius that looked like power (Pluto) to the people (Aquarius) from a vantage point decades earlier is now looking more like 'power (Pluto) to the collective consciousness' and the collective consciousness is not looking so much like us as it is like AI. When Uranus moved into Taurus in 2011 it looked like aliens coming to Earth and it was - we just couldn't see what that meant because Uranus, as always, is what we can't know/unpredictable.
We know how things start is how things go (the reason your natal chart is so important, and events have natal charts, too) and as Saturn meets Neptune in late February 2026 on the Aries point - the beginning of the beginning - they will be tightly conjunct asteroids Heracles, Urania and Borasisi, so let's take a look at them.
1. Asteroid Heracles is HERCULES. A Son of Jupiter/Zeus and a mortal woman Alcmena. He is the baby whose spilled milk created our Milky Way Galaxy. He is our hero's journey and famous for his twelve labors - perseverance, strength, overcoming obstacles. A central figure of Greek mythology. He, sort of, IS the Aries point.
2. Asteroid Urania whose name means heavenly is a stand-in for the Goddess Urania. Daughter of Zeus/Jupiter (so great-grand-daughter of Uranus), Urania was the Goddess of astrology, astronomy, science, cosmic philosophy, transcending ordinary possibilities, prophecy and intellect via navigating the stars. Urania was one of the nine muses and a guide of Ptolemy. Urania inspired him to infuse his astrological and astronomical writings with a sense of wonder and beauty. I think she represents here, among other things, the need to connect with the spirit and life of science - the same way astrology connects to astronomy and brings it into our life and into our heart.
3. Asteroid Borasisi was discovered in 1999 and named for the Sun God of a fictional religion in Kurt Vonnegut's book Cat's Cradle - the novel itself is a sci-fi world dystopian destruction tale about what happens when the powers that be/TECHNOCRACY lack integrity and ethics. There is also a weird religion in the book connected to Borasisi that is made up of lies that you believe in order to be happy. Borasisi was at 0 degrees Aries back at the total Solar Eclipse in Taurus in 2024 that, again, cut the United States in two and in play strongly at the chart of the inauguration of Trump in 2025.
So, we have Saturn (reality), Neptune (non-reality) - Saturn/Neptune = reality dissolves, Neptune/Saturn = the dream becomes real, Heracles (our hero's journey), Borasisi (the dystopian technological possibilities) and Urania (the connection between science and spirit - the cure for Borasisi? in homeopathy the antidote is always found next to the poison).
When Saturn and Neptune meet in Aries they will be answering to Mars. This is a key to understanding our future. Mars will be at 22 degrees Aquarius - a power number, a master number, beauty, "kill or be killed". Mars is EXACT on the United States natal asteroid Chariklo and since Chariklo was part of the Saturn/Pluto (time runs out) and the Saturn/Jupiter (world starts up again) and now here for the Saturn/Neptune (new world) we will talk about her in the next post.
Aquarius is the sign of tech, the future, intellect/detachment, groups. Mars in Aquarius will be answering to Uranus. Uranus will be squaring Mars from 27 degrees Taurus, tightly conjunct Algol, the most malevolent star in our galaxy - third eye of Medusa - losing our head, turning men to stone, algorithms, alcohol.
This is all very dicey, but we haven't been turned to stone yet.
Both Saturn and Neptune return to Pisces - back to the ending/back to the magic - before the big conjunction/New World in February. Our course isn't set. I hope.
It's hard to be sure because we can see/feel that a tipping point has been reached and it will take a Herculean effort to steady ourselves and remain human - probably a good thing we have Hercules with us.
Part II we will look at Chariklo.
xo all
This series may take a bit to get everything up. I thought I might add a "tip" to each section :)
TIP #1. BE GROUNDED - a grounded human becomes an attractor for safety. Self-care matters. As does being in our body - embodied and connected to the planet/earth/dirt. Disconnect from tech as much as possible. Be mindful. Meditate. Get out in nature.
Back with Part II next week.
