Note:  the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.  

Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours before the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).  

They’ll gain strength as they approach, and linger for 24–48 hours after, gradually fading with each passing hour.

 Saturn-Neptune Conjunction:

This week brings some of the biggest astro-fireworks of 2026: a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, and the unprecedented Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. 

I'm sure you've heard how impactful this conjunction is. It repeats every 36 years and throughout history, it often brought on a major paradigm shift.  In fact, there are some uncanny parallels with the previous conjunctions, in terms of ideological divides and territorial gambits. Read more here.

But the upcoming conjunction falls on the Aries Point - 0° Aries - the "great reset" degree.  After some research, it looks like we haven't experienced it at this powerful degree for at least 10 centuries going back - and, possibly, never! 

The paradigm shift the world is about to go through - and it already started - may be much bigger and more impactful than anything we experienced before. 

Now, if this conjunction connects with your natal chart, it can be just as impactful for your personal life.  I've already seen multiple examples of that.  It can bring disillusionment or disappointment, but the key thing to remember is this:

It's a manifestor conjunction! It gives you the ability to reimagine (Neptune) and reshape (Saturn) the reality of your life.

We're Now in the Eclipse Season:

The New Moon in February 17 is also a powerful and tense Solar Eclipse, the first in the series of Aquarius-Leo eclipses we're going to experience between now and 2028.  

I've been tracking eclipses for a while, and I find that the sign they fall into and the aspects they make give us very accurate clues about new or unexpected developments the world is about to experience. After all, eclipses shake things up!

The upcoming eclipse is quite impactful for the USA - something stirs up and ignites the public.  Developments foretold by eclipses can play out early, too, so perhaps we've already seen this in the public outcry over the events in Minnesota. 

On a personal level,  if you find yourself edgier than usual, it's not in your head.  Eclipses pack a powerful punch of destabilizing energy that starts building 4-5 days before the eclipse, and takes a couple of days to dissipate. 

Are Eclipses Something to Worry About?

No! I've seen some amazing breakthroughs happen in people's lives when their natal chart was activated by an eclipse.

Most times, they are redirections. If you're at a crossroads and an eclipse comes along, the Universe will push you onto the path that is right for you (and not always gently 😀)

I'm breaking it all down in my mini-course, Eclipses for the Savvy Seeker. 

We'll focus both on the personal impacts of an eclipse, and how eclipses can foreshadow shake-ups in a country.
