Grand Trines are fairly rare, and we have an amazing one happening now. The first chart here is for the moment the Sun enters Scorpio, and the chart at the end of the article is when the Sun leaves Scorpio. Usually, Grand Trines are formed by the fast-moving Moon and, therefore, don’t last long. This Grand Trine involves the slow-moving planets Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter, which makes it more important. The current inner planets in Scorpio are forming the last point of the Grand Trine.
In this Grand Trine, all the planets are in water signs. The slowest of the planets in the trine, Neptune and Saturn, have just retrograded back into Pisces. They will both enter Aries early in 2026 and will not retrograde into Pisces again after that. This is their last chance to clean up the old before the bold future of Aries begins.
Neptune, with a 165-year orbit, is the planet of intuition, imagination and spirituality and is associated with Pisces. Since Neptune is in its own sign now, it’s much stronger than usual, creating a spiritual awakening for many.
I’ve named Saturn Mr. Responsibility, and he has a 29-year orbit. He has his feet on the ground and embodies structure, discipline and the ability to manifest.
Even though Saturn and Neptune don’t quite understand each other, could Saturn help manifest Neptune’s dreams? Absolutely! It’s like having our feet on the ground and our heads in the clouds. Now let’s introduce Jupiter to this unlikely pair.
Jupiter is in Cancer now and is part of this Water Grand Trine. Jupiter has a 12-year orbit and will retrograde in November, making this Grand Trine last even longer. Jupiter is known for expansion, abundance, positivity and growth. Being in the sign of Cancer, Jupiter now has a focus on community, cultures and the caring of humanity. Groups and organizations will be blossoming and will be there for those in need.
These slow-moving planets will be triggered by the fast-moving planets in Scorpio now. The three water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and all have planets transiting through them at this time. With the Sun, Mercury and Mars all in Scorpio, there is a focus on emotional growth, transformation and uncovering secrets. The truth will be revealed on a personal, as well as on a collective, level. Scorpio’s energy is passionate and investigative with the intention of transformation.
The interplay between these planets creates a time for spiritual routines with the opportunity to make them an everyday practice. If used correctly, Neptune’s wisdom blending with Saturn’s discipline to make it a reality is a powerful duo. Jupiter’s part in the picture will bring optimism and faith to the process. The group of Scorpio planets brings a drive to change and also offers a window in time for the transformation to occur.
This Water Grand Trine is particularly favorable for personal growth with healing old trauma. Trust your intuitive power and build emotional strength. This is an auspicious time to launch creative or spiritual ventures.
