2026 - Part Three: April

It will be all systems go during April 2026 as seven planets - the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Chiron - will all be situated in the sign of Aries. The Sun, Moon and Chiron are conjunct each other at 26° on 17th April, while Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Neptune are also conjunct each other from 16th - 25th April. 

Essentially, these are two Stelliums (multiple planets conjunct each other) Following that, on 26th April, transiting Uranus re-enters Gemini - which incidentally marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.

We haven't seen anything like this since Monday 5th February 1962 when there were seven planets - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - positioned in the sign of Aquarius. Mars and Saturn were conjunct each other at the beginning of the sign and the other five had formed a very rare configuration called a Grand Conjunction in the middle degrees. Not only that, but the Sun and Moon had formed a Solar Eclipse. 

The 1962 chart was the first line up of it's kind since 1821 - except, back then, there were only four planets and they weren't in Aquarius. The cumulative effect of this 7-planet line up was to exert an influence so strong that it reverberated through the rest of the decade, into the 1970s and beyond. As a result, the changes that took place were phenomenal. This chart continues to be reactivated by transiting planets with the next reactivation due in September 2026.

The two Stelliums in Aries during April 2026 will produce a similar effect, although not identical to those in the 1962 chart, as this time the planets are in a different sign. There is no Solar Eclipse included as there was in 1962 - although there is a New Moon - and interestingly, no Venus or Jupiter. This indicates that this multiple planetary display will be less socially oriented than the Aquarius 1962 chart. However, it will still be a powerful cosmic influence which will, like the.1962 chart, bring phenomenal change far into the future.

One of the features in this chart is the Mars Saturn conjunction at 7° Aries. When Mars and Saturn join forces there can be a very militaristic feel to events. Will this bring an escalation in the Iran War? Or, God forbid, a new war starting somewhere else on the planet? Certainly there are a lot of national charts being triggered by this Mars Saturn aspect, including the UK, Russia, USA, NATO, President Zelensky, Donald Trump, Putin and many more.

Mars Saturn conjunctions tend to bring accidents and a certain level of hardship. Slow progress, as well as issues that demand courage, will make this period feel like an endurance test. Competitive situations will arise, leading to impulsive actions and aggression under pressure. Conversely, there may be restrictive circumstances preventing action and resulting in some sort of stalemate situation. 

For the past few weeks, we have had stalemate in the Strait Of Hormuz. This is a classic example of the Saturn Neptune effect, with Saturn symbolising blockages and Neptune symbolising water. Now that this conjunction is being joined by transiting Mars, there will be some sort of decisive action about to take place and one way or another, it's likely that things will get moving again. But in what way? 

Ticket To The Moon

Oh, how I wish astronomy was not so dismissive when it comes to astrology.  As Artemis II launched on a journey to the Moon yesterday, I'm sure I wasn't the only astrologer to raise my eyebrows at such an important occasion taking place within hours of a Full Moon. 

As I've said in this blog before, it's very bad timing to start anything on a Full Moon as this represents endings, not beginnings. So, for a major new project like the Artemis II trip which involves the longest distance from Earth ever travelled by humans, ultimately leading to a lunar base from which we can launch to Mars, this is a not a good omen. 

I'm not being a 'prophet of doom' and this is not a prediction of disaster. However, the Full Moon influence tends to bring whatever is started to a premature end by phasing it out. As a result, this NASA space project may have to be abandoned at some point during the coming months. As well as the Full Moon effect, transiting Pluto formed a T-Square configuration to the NASA chart by opposing the Sun and squaring Mars. Transiting Uranus will also square its Pluto Mercury from mid-May and throughout the rest of this year both of which may bring upset to future plans

Colours Of The Cosmos - Taurus

Each astrological sign is associated with certain colours. 

TAURUS is the second sign of the zodiac and has GREEN as the dominant colour. Other colours symbolised by TAURUS are Brown and Cobalt Blue. Like the sign itself, TAURUS colours are soft and earthy.

People tend to be attracted to the colours of their Sun Sign, either wearing them or decorating their private space with them.

Why does the Sun Sign influence our colour choices? The Sun rules creative expression which is exactly what colour is all about.

Colours Of The Cosmos - Aries

Each astrological sign is associated with certain colours. 

ARIES is the first sign of the zodiac and has RED as the dominant colour. Other colours symbolised by ARIES are Magenta and Primary Yellow. Like the sign itself, ARIES colours are bold and strong.

People tend to be attracted to the colours of their Sun Sign, either wearing them or decorating their private space with them.

Why does the Sun Sign influence our colour choices? The Sun rules creative expression which is exactly what colour is all about.

The Saturn Neptune Conjunction

Today, transiting Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct on a World Point - this one happens at 0 degrees Aries - the very beginning of the entire zodiac. Although Saturn conjuncts Neptune approximately every 36 years, they have not been conjunct at 0° Aries for over 12,000 years. So, is the Saturn Neptune conjunction of 2025 and 2026 a big deal? You bet it is! 

The Saturn Neptune conjunction started in mid-May 2025 and continued until the end of September when the aspect separated slightly as both planets retrograded in to Pisces. They then came together again in mid-January 2026 and are now making one final exact conjunction on 20th February 2026. 

Astrologers have observed that, when Saturn and Neptune are conjunct, it brings massive change to Russia. The last time these two planets were in conjunction, the Soviet Union collapsed, What will happen this time? 

Architecture, engineering and construction are also Saturnian themes - in fact, any grand structures around the world that the human race has designed (including roads and railways) or have been created by nature, are an example of this. But Neptune is the antithesis - it symbolises erosion, disintegration, fragmentation. Reducing what is solid to rubble, dust or sand. So we may see the destruction of large buildings, bridges, monuments, etc, either as a result of natural disaster or human sabotage. On the other hand, large structures which have already been lost may reappear, as shifting sands and decreasing water levels reveal what has been buried or submerged for a very long time. 

Both Saturn and Neptune symbolise fear. However, Saturn's fears are based on reality while Neptune's fears tend to stem from imagination, illusion, delusion, hallucination, etc. When combined, it could be the case that Saturn might bring our collective fears to the surface by making them appear more real. So, what is the human race afraid of? Another pandemic? The start of World War III? An alien invasion? Or could this indicate an end to conspiracy theories which, of course, are specifically designed to provoke fear? The deceptions and delusions of the last few years will be up for scrutiny, that's for sure, and the end of woke is imminent. By the time this decade comes to a close, we will look back and wonder "What the hell were we thinking?"

This Saturn Neptune influence will be extremely powerful as it takes place not only in the sign of Aries but at the very beginning of the zodiac circle. Even the conjunction is an Aries aspect and as it takes place at 0 degrees which is a World Point, this means a massive change for every one of us. With the planet of reality coming together with the planet of illusion, how will this influence play out? One of the possibilities is the discovery of lost or missing people. Anything which has vanished without trace could suddenly reappear. Anything which has been shrouded in mystery may be revealed. Conversely, that which we consider to be real, might be exposed as a fake, a hoax or complete fantasy. I'm also getting the sense of escapology or escapism. What - or who - is trying to escape? 

On a personal level, this major conjunction will affect all of us but will be particularly significant for anyone born between the 19th - 23rd March. Also affected will be anyone born from 20th - 24th June; 21st - 25th September; and 20th - 24th December, and if you were born in the middle degrees (14, 15, 16) of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius. With the Saturn Neptune conjunction in hard aspect to your natal Sun, you may become involved with people who sacrifice themselves (not literally!) for worthy causes, and you'll appreciate people who are not superficial or pretentious. You will seek the basic truth about everything. Under this planetary influence, you will succeed in finding solutions to difficult problems. This could be in either a personal or professional capacity. 

Please remember also, that if any of your natal planets or points are situated on, or around, 0 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, this Saturn Neptune conjunction will be very important in your life throughout 2026. 

This planetary aspect heralds a major new beginning for everyone.The effects will continue for months to come as the Saturn Neptune conjunction degree will be triggered by other transiting planets. for example, on 20th March 2026, the transiting Sun will re-activate this point. Nothing will be the same from this moment on.

2026 - Part Two: February

There is so much to say about the year 2026 that it's impossible to convey the details in just one or two posts. Therefore, I'll be writing about what's to come every few weeks and giving it to you in installments. 

At the end of January, transiting Mars formed a conjunction with Pluto. Mars Pluto aspects tend to bring power struggles with a determined and stubborn need to win. Therefore, the first few months of 2026 will feel like a worse version of 2025. 

On 17th February 2026 there will be a Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius, bringing significant new beginnings and a new sense of reality. Under this planetary influence, meaningful changes and challenges will take place. The eclipse will trigger a period of shifts in attitudes, beliefs and political affiliations. People, places and things in the public eye that will be influenced by this eclipse include: 

President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and the USA.

The family of Madeleine McCann, Prince Harry, Victoria Beckham, and the BBC talent show Strictly Come Dancing. 

Ukraine, and President Zelensky - both his personal chart and his inauguration chart. These are just some of the horoscopes I've analysed. Basically, the people and places in the news right now will be powerfully affected by this Solar Eclipse for at least the next 12 months. Watch and wait.....

The Saturn Neptune conjunction will make its final hit on 20th February 2026 at 0° Aries. We have a saying in astrology: The final hit is the hardest. Therefore, everything that this aspect represents will be at its most powerful. Not only situated in the sign of Aries but at the very beginning of the zodiac circle, on a World Point, this means a massive change for every single one of us - especially if you were born on or around 21st March. 

With the planet of reality coming together with the planet of illusion, how will this influence play out? One of the possibilities is the discovery of lost or missing people. Anything which has vanished without trace could suddenly reappear. Anything which has been shrouded in mystery may be revealed. Conversely, that which we consider to be real, might be exposed as a fake, a hoax or complete fantasy. There might also be disappearances. I'm also getting the sense of escapology or escapism. Who is trying to escape and from what? When Saturn and Neptune are conjunct, it brings massive change to Russia. The last time these two planets were in conjunction, the Soviet Union collapsed, Expect something very similar - and it's starting NOW.

At the end of the month there will be a square aspect between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus from the 24th February until 3rd March. This planetary influence could bring much restlessness, tension and hasty decisions. During this time, events may come out of the blue, including technical glitches. There will a high risk of accidents.

February will be a very eventful month. Get ready!

2026 - Part One: Overview

There are many theories as to what the year 2026 will bring: miraculous new inventions, mind-blowing discoveries, an alien revelation and even the the Second Coming. Believe it or not, none of this is far-fetched at all. There really is the possibility of any, or even all, of these events happening. One thing is for sure - by the end of 2026, we will all be much more spiritually aware.

However, I'm sure you are all familiar with the saying, "It will get worse before it gets better" and this will be the case during the first few weeks of 2026 when the problems of 2025 will seem to reach a crescendo. 

The first major planetary influence of 2026 will be a Solar Eclipse  on the 17th February at 28° Aquarius. This will be in an opposition aspect to Donald Trump's natal Mars and natal Ascendant which could bring issues connected to his marriage, relationships or professional partnerships - including adversaries and opponents.This eclipse will also conjunct the USA natal Moon. In the chart of a nation, the Moon represents the population, so a change of public attitude is highly likely with a possible connection to health matters or workers' strikes. It will be a big year for America in 2026 as the President is due to celebrate his 80th birthday in June, the United States will be 250 years old in July and the 25th anniversary of 9/11 will be commemorated in September. I'll be writing about all of these events throughout 2026.

The final exact conjunction of Saturn and Neptune will take place on 20th February and will be extremely powerful as it is not only situated in the sign of Aries but at the very beginning of the zodiac circle, on a World Point. This means a massive change for every one of us. With the planet of reality coming together with the planet of illusion, how will this influence play out? One of the possibilities is the discovery of lost or missing people. Anything which has vanished without trace could suddenly reappear. Anything which has been shrouded in mystery may be revealed. Conversely, that which we consider to be real, might be exposed as a fake, a hoax or complete fantasy. I'm also getting the sense of escapology or escapism. Who is trying to escape and from what? When Saturn and Neptune are conjunct, it brings massive change to Russia. The last time these two planets were in conjunction, the Soviet Union collapsed, Expect something very similar, starting in 2026. 

For the last few months, transiting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have been in a Double Sextile configuration. This indicates that we are in the process of realising positive opportunities. From the end of January onwards, this configuration will be activated by transiting Mars when it conjuncts Pluto. It will then square Pluto in late May. Mars Pluto aspects tend to bring power struggles with a determined and stubborn need to win. However, when Mars forms a trine aspect to Pluto in early July, we could see a period of extraordinary energy which will result in very positive and constructive change.

On 17th April 2026, there will be seven planets transiting Aries - the sign of New Beginnings. This will include the Sun and Moon conjunct Chiron, Mercury will conjunct Mars, Saturn and Neptune. The last time there was a line-up of seven planets in the same sign was on 5th February 1962 in Aquarius. You can read about this in my 'Age Of Aquarius' articles in the blog. 

Mars is one of the planets which activates or triggers other planetary aspects. I get the feeling that there will be increased military activity around this period. Working behind the scenes and covert operations are likely. The avoidance of confrontation will bring the need for well orchestrated plans in order to achieve the end result. What will this be? 

Transiting Mars will be in a square aspect to Jupiter in early May. During this period we will all be drawn to social, moral and spiritual issues. There will be the presence of a very dignified figure who will lead by example and inspire others through actions and gestures on a grand scale. But who will it be?

In late May, transiting Mars will square Pluto bringing intense energy and determination to succeed. However, there is the possibility of a rise to power resulting in aggressive actions from others - either individuals or organizations - who may feel threatened by some growing influence. Could this be a new political movement? Whatever the source, their ambitions might stir up opposition and make new enemies. 

Mars will conjunct transiting Uranus in early July. This could be a very explosive planetary influence as it symbolises rebellion, impulsive actions, and sudden or shocking events. The global mood in general will be more unpredictable at this time. On the positive side, the start of a new and unique project will take place, perhaps involving heavy machinery or electricity. 

From July onwards, 2026 will take a different course, becoming much more serene and harmonious. The reason for this will be revealed in upcoming posts.

Next up: 2026 - Part Two: February.
