Saturn in Aries slightly restrains vital momentum, as it favors Authority and, therefore, obedience. This influence is more conducive to individual, even egocentric, decisions than to genuine humanism. Independence, however, is tempered by rigor, logic, and realism. Neptune ventures into Aries, as it did at the end of the 19th century, in the 1860s. This signals great inventiveness, a practical sense infused with imagination, and unprecedented progress in Art and personal development, more aligned with humanistic interests.

The conjunction of these two planets, whose energies are so different, could bring significant improvements to collective well-being. Collective consciousness is moving toward a new world that is more tolerant and socially just.
Wisdom combined with a certain authority allows for lucid action and encourages the release of tensions through art or the creation of useful structures.
This transit will influence our societies from February through late spring. The fact that this exceptional conjunction takes place at 0° Aries, at the very beginning of the zodiac, is highly significant. It marks a brand-new cycle that calls into question our individual and collective behavior. In Aries, this conjunction generates a powerful need for renewal and movement, disrupted by a sense of vagueness, confusion, or illusion.
The desire to act and exhaustion are likely to alternate during this very particular period. Current ideological systems no longer match the aspirations of populations. Yet this mistrust, even rebellion, against existing forms of authority is also a source of doubt, uncertainty, and fantasy. The last conjunction between Saturn and Neptune occurred in 1989, a year marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall. This clearly illustrates a period when seemingly immutable structures crack, sometimes amid confusion, but also with the hope for a different world.
In 2026, this configuration highlights the limits of systems based solely on performance, control, or belief in infinite growth. It opens a transition in which action can no longer be separated from meaning. The tension generated by this conjunction is useful. Saturn provides structure and patience, while Neptune brings inspiration, sensitivity, and intuition. Nourished by both influences, we may be able to transform an ideal into a concrete project worthy of commitment.
