Saturn-Neptune Conjunction:
The Fabric of Reality Changes

February 20, 2026 — The Saturn-Neptune conjunction perfects at 0° Aries today. This is the most significant transit of the year and the beginning of a new 36-year cycle. Saturn, which represents form, structure, and discipline, meets Neptune, ruler of dreams, dissolution, and transcendence, at the very first degree of the zodiac. This is the equinox point that archetypally carries both the excitement and pain of new life.

Old paradigms are collapsing as new visions materialize. This is when we take leaps of faith while committing ourselves to build with integrity. Those who hold viable ideals and the will to manifest them will thrive. Those clinging to expired realities may find the ground giving way beneath them.

In the wake of the Solar Eclipse and Lunar New Year, the world is brimming with new energies. Fresh chapters and timelines are finally unfurling.

It’s important that we pay attention to where we place our thoughts and intentions now. Momentum is building enormously. Wherever we point our ships, the wind is ready to catch our sails. A new reality is now taking root.
