On February 13th-14th, 2026, Saturn moves into Aries – and once it crosses the zero point of the zodiac, there is no turning back.
Saturn first dipped its toes into Aries last year, on May 25th, 2025, giving us a 3-month taste of what this new cycle is about.
On February 13th, Saturn enters Aries now for good, and as soon as it ingresses into the sign, it starts applying a conjunction to Neptune.
With both planets in Aries, we can expect a very concrete shift, where a direction forward becomes blatantly obvious.
Saturn has a very specific function in astrology: it makes what is vague, elusive, or imagined → real. Saturn gives form to Neptune, making the intangible, tangible.
Saturn And Neptune – 3D And 4D
Understanding the relationship Saturn and Neptune have is crucial if we want to make sense of the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries on February 20th, 2026.
The starting point here is recognising that we live in 2 parallel realities.
We might think there’s only one reality – the one we can see, hear, smell, and touch – but there are 2 realms operating at the same time, constantly interacting with each other.
The first reality is what we call the 4D or vibrational level – a reality where everything exists simultaneously as a possibility, before it takes shape. This reality is intangible – and everything that eventually takes shape in the ‘real’ world emerges from here. That’s the realm of Neptune.
And then there’s the 3D reality – the world we experience through our physical senses. This is the world of time, limits, cause and effect, and tangible outcomes. This reality is ruled by Saturn, the last planet visible to the naked eye, marking the boundary between what remains abstract and what becomes real.
Saturn In Aries, Neptune And 0° Aries
And now, from February 13th onwards, when Saturn moves toward Neptune, something important happens.
As soon as it enters Aries, Saturn directly taps into Neptune’s ocean of potentialities – the 4D reality we talked about – and pulls something out of it, turning what was only an idea, a vision, or a feeling into something that actually exists in the world.
What makes this process special is that Neptune and Saturn are now both at 0° Aries, the very beginning of the zodiac.
This means that whatever Saturn presses the “bring into form” button on will stay with us for a very, very long time – because it emerges from point zero, the navel of the zodiac.
This is not just a new Saturn–Neptune cycle – although even that would have been rare and significant in itself, since Saturn and Neptune meet only every 36 years.
This is something at a much larger scale, because we have 2 concomitant alignments: Saturn with Neptune, and Saturn and Neptune with the point zero of the zodiac.
Think about the big chapters of history. The agricultural revolution around 10,000 years ago. The emergence of the first cities and early civilisations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The advent of Christianity. The invention of the printing press. The discovery and spread of electricity.
And even beyond that. Collective myths we’ve lived from for centuries, collective myths that only shift once every thousand years or so.
Saturn And Neptune In Aries – From Myth To Reality
The alignment of Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries belongs to that same order of magnitude as the Library of Alexandria as a symbol of knowledge, the myth of Shambhala as a centre of wisdom, or even farther back, to Atlantis.
Atlantis, whether real or not, describes a Neptune-like society – a civilisation organised around knowledge and subtle intelligence, portrayed as prosperous, refined, and technologically advanced.
Atlantis lingers in our imagination like a dream, like a paradise lost, and in many ways it mirrors the spell we’ve been under during the last 14 years of Neptune in Pisces.
But Neptune in Pisces was not dreaming for the sake of dreaming, and those 14 years were not lost or wasted. They served a purpose. They were an incubation period, a necessary phase where a vision could form within the fabric of the 4D reality we talked about.
And now, with Neptune having entered Aries in January and Saturn following from February 13th onwards, the conditions change.
What has been gestating during Neptune in Pisces is now ready to come to the surface and take shape in lived, 3D reality.
This doesn’t mean we are creating something from scratch, but rather giving form to something that has always been there, held within 4D potentiality.
Neptune in Pisces allowed us to live inside this permeable story of “what ifs”, “should I go left or right, up or down”, and a general sense of openness where we could explore different possibilities, but not commit to any one direction.
With Saturn in Aries, all that moves out of the background and into action.
Saturn In Aries – The Crowning Of Atlantis
The universal myth now comes alive, into the flesh and bones of Saturn’s lived reality.
Something that belongs to the deeper fabric of existence – the DNA of life – is now being translated into structure.
Saturn entering Aries gives that universal myth a name. It makes it conscious. It brings it into our awareness.
And in doing so, it allows us to turn something that has lived unconsciously – shapeless, generic and a little bit unrelatable – into our own personal myth.
Saturn in Aries crowns the Neptunian dream, placing each one of us in a position of authorship. Not as passive participants, but as the hero or heroine of our own story.
Before this, when Neptune and Saturn were in Pisces, we felt part of something big, but more as observers than decision-makers, where we had little or no say. Life happened to us.
Everything changes now. With Saturn and Neptune in Aries, the new myth is no longer a narrative we are told from the outside, but one we step into and shape ourselves.
As Saturn crosses that zero point, it moves into a space where the old rules no longer apply and where there is no return to unconscious living.
We’re no longer in the Matrix – and we can no longer be – because once reality checks in, once we see what we see, we cannot unsee it.
Saturn At 0° Aries – Genesis
Zero is where the old story no longer holds any power over us. Whether confusing, chaotic, or deeply relieving, the point zero reality leaves us no choice but to BE who we really are.
The week between the time Saturn enters Aries (February 13-14) and when Saturn and Neptune perfect their conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20 is KEY in this process.
This is the only time in our lives when these planets are both at the zero degree, and Saturn is applying to Neptune. This week (February 13-20) is the liminal space where the old cycle completes, and the new one takes shape.
When Saturn and Neptune finally meet on February 20, 2026, the seed is irreversibly placed into new soil. From that moment on, there is no more adjusting or rewriting the story.
The Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20 is the line in the sand.
With Saturn in Aries, our own “Atlantis” – or whatever name we give to our personal dream or vision – will rise from underwater. It will be given form, structure, and direction.
If you want to consciously engage with this extraordinary alignment, Genesis is a 2-day event that begins just before the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. More details here:
