AWAKEN THE LONGING

February is not a month of passive observation. The Earth is moving, the fire is awakening, and something long held in the body is asking to be released, reclaimed, or redefined.
Early on this month, Uranus stations direct in Taurus, and with it, the pressure that’s been building around stability, resources, values, and the physical body begins to find its outward voice again. Since Uranus slowed late last year, many of us have felt suspended between the old structures that no longer fit and the new ones that aren’t fully formed yet. Now, motion resumes. What has felt stuck starts to shift—but not gently. Throughout the month, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Sun each square Uranus, activating moments of disruption, insight, and truth-telling. Expect surprises. Expect resistance to routines that drain you. Expect your nervous system to speak loudly when something is no longer aligned.
This is not chaos for its own sake. Uranus in Taurus is teaching us how to live differently in our bodies, with our finances, our work, and our relationship to the Earth. February asks: What kind of stability actually feels alive to me? And where have you been clinging to something simply because it’s familiar?
Running alongside this tension is a quieter, deeply healing current. Chiron in Aries receives supportive sextiles from the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars this month, offering moments of clarity around old wounds tied to identity, confidence, and the right to take up space. This is healing through action and honesty—the days of bypassing are over. Conversations can repair. Courage can soften pain. Desire can return where shame once lived. There is an invitation to meet yourself with more compassion while still choosing bravery.
Mid-month brings a major threshold: Saturn enters Aries. This marks the beginning of a new cycle of responsibility around selfhood, leadership, and initiation. Saturn in Aries asks us to grow up, learning when to act, when to wait, and how to channel anger, desire, and ambition with integrity. Almost immediately, Saturn moves into an exact conjunction with Neptune at the very first degree of Aries, a rare and potent meeting of form and dissolution.
The Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries is one of the most defining astrological moments of the decade, marking a true threshold rather than a passing influence. Saturn governs structure, responsibility, and reality, while Neptune dissolves boundaries, ideals, and illusions. When these two meet, the tension between what is imagined and what is reality becomes unavoidable. Occurring at the very beginning of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, this conjunction signals a genuine reset of how identity, courage, leadership, and will are expressed. Something foundational is being redefined from the ground up. However, false prophets and leaders will rise, and it will be up to each of us to have the discernment to know who has the true qualities our world needs.
On a personal level, this conjunction brings a profound reckoning with identity. Many people will experience a loss of motivation for paths that once felt meaningful or a sense of disillusionment with roles, dreams, or self-concepts that were built more on fantasy, expectation, or survival. There can be grief as old ideals dissolve, alongside an unexpected pressure to act without clarity. Neptune erodes the illusion of who we thought we were, while Saturn demands accountability for who we are becoming. The result can feel raw and destabilizing, yet deeply honest. This is a time of releasing false callings, shedding identities that no longer fit, and slowly constructing a self that is rooted in integrity rather than image.
The challenge right now is learning how to move forward boldly without certainty. Aries wants action, Saturn insists on sustainability, and Neptune asks that the action be meaningful. Burnout can arise from idealism without structure, and paralysis can emerge from doubt and fear of making the wrong move. The deeper work is learning to take small, grounded steps even while the larger vision remains unclear. Faith is tested here—not blind faith, but faith that can coexist with limits, patience, and responsibility.
Globally, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries corresponds with a collapse and reconfiguration of leadership myths. Collective disillusionment tends to surface around figures, systems, or movements that rely on charisma, force, or idealized narratives without substance. Aries rules leadership, power, and initiation, so this conjunction can coincide with crises around authority, identity politics, militarization, and the idea of the “hero.” Leaders who promise salvation may be exposed, while conflicts driven by ideology can intensify. At the same time, quieter forms of leadership begin to emerge—less performative, more grounded, and often initially overlooked. The medicine is always growing alongside the poison.
Historically, Saturn–Neptune alignments mark the end of eras and the unraveling of belief systems that can no longer hold reality. What distinguishes this cycle is its visibility and speed. Disillusionment spreads quickly in an interconnected world, but so does awareness. The collective is being forced to question not only who leads, but why, and at what cost. Courage without conscience is no longer sustainable, and aggression dissolves under scrutiny.
At its core, Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries is about learning how to live with faith that is no longer fueled by fantasy. Personally and collectively, it asks whether we can act with conviction without becoming rigid, dream without escaping responsibility, and lead without losing humility. What survives this conjunction will be leaner, truer, and capable of enduring real-world pressure. What dissolves was never meant to carry us forward. This is the long beginning of a new way of being.
This conjunction coincides with a Solar Eclipse New Moon, amplifying the sense of a karmic reset. Something is ending at the root. Something is being seeded that we won’t fully understand yet. The old ways of imagining the future dissolve, making space for a vision that is less ego-driven and more soul-led. This is not the month to force certainty. It is the month to listen for what feels quietly inevitable.
As Pisces season unfolds, the energy turns emotional and permeable, and Mercury turns retrograde. Sensitivity increases. Intuition sharpens. Mind chatter is revisited. The boundary between the personal and the collective thins. Rest becomes productive. Grief becomes informative. Creativity becomes a spiritual practice. With so much fire and electricity elsewhere, Pisces reminds us to soften. Let the body process what the mind cannot yet organize.
February 2026 is about recognizing what is no longer sustainable and having the courage to begin again, even without a full map. The ground may feel unstable, but it’s also fertile. Trust what’s surfacing. Trust what’s leaving. And above all, trust the intelligence of your own timing.
If you’re feeling called to go deeper, you can work with me in the way that best supports you right now—either through a one-on-one astrology reading, where the current transits are translated through the lived reality of your own chart, or through an Energy Attunement session preparing you for this moment. You can also join one of my weekly subscriptions to stay in an ongoing relationship with the unfolding skies. All offer a grounded, intuitive way of understanding what is moving through you and around you.
