in February 2026 there will be a Perfect Saturn-Neptune conjunction at the 0 Aries Point

The Zero Aries Point is of course the Spring Equinox Point, which in Tropical Astrology is always used to represent the beginning of the Sign of Aries but according to those who believe in the Age of Aquarius, it is this Equinox Point that drifts with the precession of the Equinoxes, and once this drift crosses over the Fixed Star Constellation of Aquarius, the story goes that this will be the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

While the exact specifics of when the Age of Aquarius starts has a 200 Year "Wiggle Room", it is still this important Equinox Point which will be hosting a Conjunction of Saturn and Neptune. Traditionally Saturn was the Ruler of the two most Wintery signs: Capricorn and Aquarius.

In Traditional Astrology Saturn is said to do well in these Wintery signs, but struggle against the rise of the light against darkness in the Springtime.

For this reason, Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries could mark a critical moment for the old and the aging, against the rising tide of a new era.

If Saturn represents a Wall or a Limit, in it's conjunction with Neptune we could encounter the problems of Boundary Dissolution

1738

Saturn Neptune conjunct at Early Degrees of Cancer


"In 1738, the governor of Spanish Florida, Manuel de Montiano, had the fort established as a free black settlement, the first to be legally sanctioned in what would become the territory of the United States.[6] The original fort was briefly abandoned after the Battle of Bloody Mose in 1740, but was rebuilt at a nearby location and again occupied by free Africans from 1752 to 1763."

the same year Pope Clement XII issues a Papal Bull In eminenti apostolatus, banning Catholics from becoming Freemasons. It arose from Jacobite-Hanoverian rivalry on the continent.

1881

Louis Pasteur creates first Vaccines for Chicken cholera, Anthrax, marking the scientific dawning of the microbial era, leading to a revolution of medicine and hygiene. Subsequent vaccines for disease such as Rabies, follow subsequent decade.

Assasination of Alexander II Emperor of Russia, King of Poland (13th of March 1881)

Assasination of James A Garfield , 20th President of the United States (2nd of July 1881)

"On July 2, 1881, James A. Garfield, the 20th president of the United States, was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington, D.C., less than four months into his term as president."

On the day of the Assasination, There was a Stellium of Planets in Taurus that went:
Mars: 08 Taurus
Saturn: 10 Taurus
Neptune: 15 Taurus
Jupiter: 18 Taurus
Chiron: 21 Taurus
Venus: 26 Taurus
Pluto 28 Taurus

If you examine the Natal Chart of James A Garfield you will notice that he has a Full Moon in Taurus, meaning that this massive Taurus Stellium was in the same sign as his moon, and opposing his sun!
His Aquarius placements, Uranus and Jupiter, would have also been Squared by this Massive Taurus Stellium!

(Saturn-Neptune is perhaps also evident in the confused or deranged motivations of Garfield's Assassin, as well as the Blindspots or Limitations in medical treatment as he attempted to recover from his injury.)

1917

The Russian Revolution

Start of WWI, with mustard gas and trench warfare, pollution as darker manifestations of Saturn-Neptune theme

Women's Suffrage Movement: Impact of WW1 puts more Women in the Workforce, creating more leveraging power for Women to have equal rights, such as the right to vote.

1952

UFO Sightings over Washington DC in July 1952, with Saturn at 09° Libra and Neptune at 19° Libra (10 degree orb)

1953

Saturn Neptune Conjunction at 20 Libra, Saturn in Exaltation.

26 July 1953 Exactly 1 Year after the UFO sightings in Washington DC, Fidel Castro attacks Cuba, this time with Saturn & Neptune in a Perfect Conjunction at 21° Libra

"Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl led an armed assault on the Moncada Barracks, a Cuban military post, on 26 July 1953.

(marking the beginning of the Cuban Revolution

the same year, The Korean War Ends on 27 July 1953 with the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, which allowed the exchange of prisoners and created a four-kilometre-wide (2+1⁄2-mile) Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) along the frontline, with a Joint Security Area at Panmunjom.

Here the archetype of Saturn having to do with Limits and Boundaries is evident not just marking the beginning and end point of Wars and Revolutions, but the establishment of "Zones", Neutral Spaces that are used to buffer and separate populations whose governing ideologies are at odds with each other. This creates a historical precedent for Saturn-Neptune conjunctions relating to walls, borders, boundaries, as well as special "Zones".

also: the 1953 Iranian Coup De'tat

It was orchestrated by the United States (CIA) and the United Kingdom (MI6). A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mossadegh nationalized and refused to concede to western oil demands.

1989

The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the End of the Soviet Union

In the 20th Century we can see the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction acting as a Triad of Beginning-Middle-End in regards Communist Revolutions, with 1917 as the "Beginning" for Russia, 1953 as the "middle" which saw the Cuban Revolution, and 1989 as the "End" marked by the Fall of the Berlin Wall and sudden Dissolution of the USSR. With the Saturn-Neptune Archetype we could see this as the Dissolution of New Structures, and perhaps a risk of being overly idealistic about the dawn of a a "new tomorrow". Unfortunately as we all know, the principles of a Free Liberal Democracy have become somewhat of a joke for Russia... many of us Westerners remember the 1990s as an age of Innocence and Optimism. In Russia the transition away from Communism into a "Free Democracy" was not handled very well.

2025, 2026

With Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries (having both made a Retrograde Motion back into Pisces at the time of creating this website), we may not be seeing a total Communist Revolution, but we are at least seeing the Archetypes scratch the surface with the critical victory of Zorhan Mamdani in the NYC Mayoral Race. On the West Coast of USA, a similar Left-Wing Mayor, Katie Wilson, who has a political history with the Seattle Public Transit Riders Union, has won the mayoral position as well. These could be the humble beginnings of a major turning point in American Politics.

It's also important to recognize that if Saturn-Neptune relates Borders, Walls, Boundaries, both their Construction and Desctruction, that it makes sense that the American Psyche has become posessed by the Spirit of Border Politics in these years where Saturn-Neptune conjunctions are most active. At the same time, we just had a major release of the Epstein files, where the systematic oppression of women and children could also be construed as a violation of boundaries, disregard for the legal age of consent as a disregard for legal boundaries. Is it possible that the political demagogues of this era compensate for their weakness and vulerabilities in one area by attempting to over-perform in the area of National Borders and Boundaries?
