The Sun enters the sign of Aquarius on January 19th at 7:02 p.m., Mountain Time. Aquarius is an air sign and is associated with Uranus, the rebel of all the planets. The Aquarius style is independent, progressive, futuristic, cause-oriented, humanitarian and quirky. Aquarian careers include being an inventor, computer expert, machinist, pilot, radical and sociologist.
2026 starts with a rare planetary alignment lasting three months, as several planets move from Aquarius to Pisces to Aries. This major conjunction will dominate the solar system until spring. Given its rarity, I am including the chart in this article. Jupiter and Uranus are the only two planets that are separate from this grouping.
We can all expect surprise after surprise during this time. It seems like everything will change around us, as well as inside us. We need to embrace the changes because, looking at this wild chart, they’re inevitable. Write a long To-Do-List with important points about life-changing decisions. Just plan for it so you won’t be surprised.
To add to the excitement, there is an Annular Solar Eclipse occurring on February 17th. It will only be visible in Antarctica, but we will all feel it. The following Total Lunar Eclipse happens on March 3rd. An eclipse season now makes all the other events even stronger.
Do we need anything more exciting? I guess we do because the much-anticipated ingress of Neptune and Saturn also occurs this month. After retrograding back into Pisces, these two important planets will finally enter Aries. Neptune enters Aries on January 27, 2026 and will remain there until March 2039! Saturn enters Aries on February 14th and will remain there until April 2028.
The conjunction between Saturn and Neptune is so important that I’m writing an entire article about it this month. While Saturn is Mr. Responsibility, Neptune is the dreamer, and they are not very fond of each other. Ideally, Saturn will organize Neptune and help to accomplish big dreams. Stay focused on your current ideas.
Regarding the visible planets, there are only a couple that we can see. Venus and Mars are both traveling with the Sun now and aren’t visible. We can see both Saturn and Jupiter in the evening sky.
See you next for Pisces.
