We are in an eclipse season now with the Annular Solar Eclipse that just occurred yesterday and a Total Lunar Eclipse happening on March 3rd. The upcoming lunar eclipse will be visible in New Zealand, Japan and the west coast of the US. This is a particularly strong eclipse since there are so many planets close to the eclipse. An exceptionally large grouping of planets is occurring now in the sky, which makes things more powerful. The lunar eclipse is in Aquarius to also give it extra punch.
But the most important astrological alignment of the year happens on February 20th when Saturn and Neptune conjunct at zero degrees Aries. This event is so important that I wrote an entire article about it last month. Here it is for review: https://www.susiecox.com/blog/saturn-and-neptune-enter-aries.
We are on the brink of a new world emerging. When Saturn and Neptune joined at zero degrees Aries in the past, the beginning of civilization, as well as the beginning of democracy, occurred. It will take a little while for the complete change to manifest currently, but we will see it start right away.
I’ve always observed that when a slow-moving planet enters a new sign, it is followed by what I call, The Entourage. Look at how huge the entourage for Saturn and Neptune is! It shows the importance of the event.
The year of 2026 is a Fire Horse year, as well as a rare ingress of Saturn and Neptune into Aries. Neither of these planets is patient, so I think the changes will happen sooner than later. The spring and summer of 2026 will be the new beginning. We are just before spring now and can start to see what needs to be changed. If you are in the mood to let go of the past, either physically or emotionally, now is the best time. Be bold and resolute. You can do it. We can do it.
Regarding the visible planets, Mars are still too close to the Sun to be seen. We can see both Saturn and Jupiter in the evening sky. Venus is barely above the western horizon.
See you next for Aries.
