Saturn conjunct Neptune.

In February 2026, Saturn, at 0° Aries 45’, forms a conjunction with Neptune at the same degree. This is a standalone transit. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three times in a set due to retrograde motion, but this one is a one-time pass.]

A Saturn-Neptune conjunction marks a time when our ideals are put to the test. Circumstances are such that we need to rebuild trust and faith. This transit marries two very different energies, the dreamer and the realist. Bringing plans and dreams to reality can be one manifestation. Practical idealism is within reach, and we might dedicate ourselves to a particular ideal, vision, or goal.

This transit deeply affects or describes our perceptions. It also brings our insecurities and any latent tendencies to depression or feelings of isolation to the fore. The propensity to second-guess or doubt things is strong. Past neglectfulness can now show itself more concretely. It can be a time of increased dread, guilt, or remorse. Feelings of impending doom can persist until we work through our fears and concerns.

We may want to do something special, compassionate, and generous, but our desire to gain materially, in terms of security or recognition, is also present. It’s a time when we might work on realizing our dreams in a methodical fashion. We may focus on assisting the downtrodden or underdog. Certainly, we can become more aware of the divides and inequalities in society, as well as the structures that are decaying or no longer working effectively, and the financial difficulties that arise from these issues. Areas and institutions that no longer realistically support us become glaringly flawed. In the spotlight are breakdowns, decay, thefts, clandestine investigations, depression, and scandal.

Possible health issues that we may see more of with this transit in play include toxicity, allergies, drug sensitivities, chronic problems, retaining waste or blockages of waste, cancer, liver diseases, and susceptibility to colds and flu. We might pay more attention to deficiencies of magnesium and bioflavonoids. It can be a time of a lot of self-diagnosing, misdiagnosing, or dealing with hard-to-diagnose problems.

This can be a time when a system that previously made us feel secure dissolves, and we’re now tasked with building something new. Skepticism about religion and spirituality is on the rise. We might strive toward disciplined and responsible expressions of compassion.

While this transit is an unusual combination, to some degree, we’ve been primed for this energy due to Saturn’s very recent transit of Pisces.
