The extraordinarily rare conjunction between Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries is happening tomorrow, February 20 at 8:54 AM Pacific / 11:54 AM Eastern / 4:54 PM GMT.

Two of the largest forces in our solar system meet with exact mathematical precision at the very first degree of the zodiac. This point, 0° Aries, also aligns with the midpoint of Uranus and Pluto, adding even greater weight to its role in our collective story.

A Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries has not occurred in over 6000 years, and never before (as far as we can tell!) with Uranus and Pluto forming this exact midpoint.

And yet, here we are... alive for it! What does this mean?

It means that we are not simply turning a page. We are standing at a seed point.

Zero degrees of Aries is the ignition spark of the zodiac, the place where cycles begin. When Saturn’s structures merge with Neptune’s dissolving force at this threshold, old definitions of reality break down and new frameworks are conceived.

Systems around technology, power, governance, and even our understanding of consciousness are already shifting in ways that will permanently alter human life.

The changes we will witness from this point forward will not be subtle, they will be foundational.

And with that said, seed moments are not neutral. They shape what follows... so what we nourish now has the potential to define the era ahead.

The boldness of your imagination has never been more important. As we stand at this zero point, we are not passive observers of history. We are contributors to it.

The responsibility we carry is not abstract. It lives in the choices we make, in where we give our energy, in the visions we dare to hold, and in the futures we are willing to help build.

If you feel called, consider setting aside 10 minutes to be present for a few quiet moments before, during, and after the conjunction.

This is something you do privately, wherever you are. 🕯️
No call to join. No technology required.
Just a shared pause, held together across the world. 🌎

You might use this time to:

Hold gratitude in your heart for the gift of being alive

Focus on the most essential truths of who you are

Commit to making your dreams real

Offer a blessing for yourself, your loved ones, and all of humanity

Simply be here now

We are stepping into brand-new territory for humanity.

Let’s cross this threshold with awareness, love, intention, and gratitude… together. 💓

With love,
Amanda and the Astrology Hub Team

The Historic Conjunction: Saturn and Neptune at 0 Degrees in Aries (February 20th)

In the midst of eclipse season, the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune occurs at 0 degrees in Aires. This is the beginning of the zodiac, the earliest spark of creation.

Archetypal Meaning:
Saturn represents form, laws, and the tangible. Neptune represents mystery, dissolution, the collective unconscious, and the spiritual.

Global Impact:
The conjunction of these planets brings about the dissolution of structures and the birth of new ones. It causes the fall of walls, the collapse of political systems, and a wave of spirituality and consciousness.
Historical Examples:
1989 (Conjunction in Capricorn): Fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the Soviet bloc.
1953 (Conjunction in Libra): Death of Stalin, reconfiguration of the URSS, and the birth of peace movements.
1917 (Conjunction in Leo): The Russian Revolution and the irreversible collapse of the Tsarist order.
Zero Degrees in Aries:

This conjunction has never before occurred at zero degrees in Aries. This marks a complete reset of the world, where reality becomes malleable and the rules are rewritten. Digital, ideological, and political walls will fall, ushering in an unprecedented spiritual renaissance.

The New Leadership:
A leadership based on purpose and vision will emerge, seeking to unite science and spirituality, technology and ethics. Saturn will give form to the invisible, and Neptune will restore soul to the material.

Historical Context:
The last time the conjunction was in Aries was around 1522, during the Renaissance, which marked the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern worldview. In 2026, humanity will leave the digital age as we know it and enter a new era of planetary consciousness.

I was looking forward to this, but sadly missed it this morning. Looking it up, I found this article, which is totally worth the read! Hoping for a Replay this evening!

Big Changes in Small Lives

In 1989, when Saturn last made a conjunction to Neptune – that time in Capricorn – I was stuck in a stupefyingly dull, government secretarial job, the very embodiment of Saturn’s dry strictures. But I had a dream: to become a full-time, professional astrologer. I’d been studying with a wonderful, inspiring teacher for over a year, and I was as thrilled by astrology as I was bored and disenchanted with my day job.

By the end of that conjunction, I had rolled up my Saturn sleeves and taken the first step to make my Neptune dream into Saturnine reality, by taking my first paying client.

This week’s Saturn-Neptune conjunction (Feb. 20, 2026, 8:54 am), a collision between reality and illusion, is complex. You’ll be reading and hearing an awful lot about it, and none of your reading or listening will be time wasted. For example, you’ll learn about Saturn-Neptune and the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union at the conjunction of 1989; at the conjunction in 1953, the polio epidemic and Salk’s vaccine, the peak of McCarthyism, and the death of Stalin.

But I’m especially interested in how big transits like this one express themselves in the human-scale stories of regular people like you and me. Saturn and Neptune conjoin only every 36 years or so, so each of us lives through only two or three of them. And preparing to change my career was a huge story for me personally, even if it can’t compare to the beginning of the end of the Cold War, or Salk developing the vaccine that would have saved my mother from polio a decade earlier.

We’re all being impacted by the state or the world, the things that are being broken down so that a new vision can emerge. And at this Saturn/Neptune conjunction, at the first degree of Aries, you may very well be on the brink of one of your life’s personal Big Transitions. Where are you hoping to break down the limits that have you feeling stuck, to move in a new, exciting direction?

On the day of this conjunction, why not build a ritual that acknowledges this big moment? The house of your chart that holds 0 degrees Aries, and any planets close to this degree (or its opposite or square points: 0 Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn) describe how you’re being impacted, and where you are ready to manifest a big change.

Pisces Soup

Moms in the farm community where I grew up had a soup recipe that went something like this: Get out a big pan. Add bits of all that stuff in the refrigerator that’s left over from the rest of the week’s recipes. Pour some water or broth over it and simmer it for a good long while. Serve it alongside some biscuits or cornbread, and you had dinner.

Let’s call it Pisces Soup – a bit of this, a bit of that, using up the remainders. Sometimes it tasted great, other times…not so much. But the fun part was that it was different every time you had it.

Pisces season is similar. All year long, we acquire leftovers from various endeavors: A new tablecloth from a flea market, a guitar we’d like to learn to play, a couple of books we’ve been meaning to read. When the Sun enters Pisces (Feb. 18, 2026, 7:52 am PST), it’s time to put some of those treasures to use, to make room for new experiences.

So, you touch base with a handful of close friends and invite them over for a potluck brunch. You spread out that special tablecloth, brew some coffee, and start a crackling blaze in the hearth. Friends trickle in with their casseroles and park themselves in front of the fire. A musician friend picks up your guitar and teaches you a few new chords. Someone else spies one of your new books on the coffee table, has read it, and is excited to share a few thoughts. Before you know it, everyone is chatting, eating, and smiling.
