A Guide to the SAturn-Neptune conjunction

We are in a tender and bewildering time.
Not just personally and culturally, but cosmically.

We’re living through a planetary moment shaped by the Saturn–Neptune conjunction—an influence that’s slow, confusing, and thick with paradox: collapse and consecration, illusion and insight, endings and emergence.

It doesn’t offer clarity so much as invitation. Not to figure things out, but to stay with things, to stay human, in the fog of becoming.

If you’ve been moving through waves of hopelessness, emotional exhaustion, confusion, or deep longing, you’re not broken or alone. You’re in the undertow of a transit that dissolves false structures while asking us to build vessels of real meaning.

This time doesn’t move like fire or lightning.

It’s slow steps in a thick fog, trusting the ground is still there under your feet.

It’s dreams of transcendent love and dreams of the dead

It’s hope born from loss.

If we take our time and let ourselves soften, the gift of this time is embodied wisdom. It’s the blessings of Sophia, the archetype of feminine wisdom. It’s a wise heart, capable of true connection. It’s a life lived with full knowledge of the sacred, beautiful, and wonderful, in the most mundane of moments. It’s vision made real.

The ache you're feeling may be the sacred task revealing itself.

This isn’t a forecast or prediction, but an invitation to trust your process.

It’s a meditation. A weaving. A prayer.
May this piece help you feel less alone and more accompanied by grace, even when the way forward disappears into mist.

Saturn–Neptune:

When Dreams Meet Bone

A conjunction occurs when two planets meet in the sky, beginning a new cycle.
Saturn (SA) is the planet of form, boundary, consequence, and reality. Whatever is touched by this archetype becomes more real, for better or worse.
Neptune (NE) is the planet of dreams, transcendence, fantasy, and the dissolution of ego. Whatever it touches is infused with healing and escapism.
Together, they weave something paradoxical: structure for the soul. A dream that requires sacrifice. A fog that reveals shape. This is the dance of sacred embodiment, of building altars out of the ordinary, of choosing to stay present in a dissolving world.
We are beginning a new cycle of understanding our experience as human beings– creatures who must simultaneously navigate death and wonder, the sacred and the mundane. Saturn Neptune is the experience of being separate and merged, and the exquisite pain of that awareness, and the grounded healing when we accept and learn to live within it.
Saturn and Neptune conjoin, or begin a new cycle, every 36 years. This cycle began in 1988-89 (ish) and apexed in 2004-05.

The Nitty Gritty

For Nerds, Adepts, and Hobbyists

This is a World Transit; it is happening to the entire planet, so we are ALL affected, no matter your chart composition, cultural background, or belief system.
But if you were born during a time when Saturn and Neptune were in a major aspect to each other, you will experience the gifts and trials of this time more intensely.
This is also true if you have Luminaries (Sun, Moon), Inner Planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars), or your Ascendant axis between 0 and 12 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, or Leo or Sagittarius.
Not sure if that is the case for you? You can cast your astrological chart on Astro.com, and if you have ever received a reading from me, your chart is attached in the follow-up email.
Lastly, for folks currently going through their Saturn return (people between the ages of 27-31, 56-60, and 85-89), this is also an especially intense moment for you. Sorry, Bubbas.
This conjunction is exact in July and in February of 2026. Its personal effects will begin to diminish starting April of 2026, and its effect on the world stage will end March of 2028.

Birth, Death, and Thresholds

To be born is to experience rupture. Neptune is the merged state we experience in the womb, and Saturn is the push into form. Saturn is the death of being a merged aquatic being (a fetus), but it is also being born as an air-breathing individual
Every beginning is also an ending.
This moment asks us to feel the violence and beauty of that threshold. We cannot return. And yet, we remember, and during Saturn-Neptune transits, we carry that memory into form. We make the dream real. The dream, of course, is the memory of that merging.
During this transit, dreams of the past become real, real harm, real love. We can insist on impossible purity and perfection, or learn compassion. Through keeping our hearts open, despite the woundedness we inevitably accrue in life, we bring the sacred knowledge of the truth of our connection to everything into reality.
We are an ecosystem. We are a billion cells working in harmony. Even as we individuate, we remain part of the whole. Neptune doesn’t disappear as we enter Saturn’s domain—it dreams inside our bones, and in the communities we foster, even just through breathing.
With time in Saturn's realm, with the wisdom of experience, we can reconnect to Neptune's gifts. There are no shortcuts here. To foster a remembering of the sacred in the mundane requires the ancestors and the descendants. Through generations, we accomplish this great work.

The Sacred in the Mundane

This transit insists that the sacred is not elsewhere. Not in visions or escape, but in compost, laundry, and grief. When we mourn endless war, we engage in the sacred. When we are honest with how we feel, we make the divine real.
Saturn-Neptune is sacrifice. Sacrifice makes the sacred real, which is why it was essential to so many ancient religions, especially Paganism and Monotheism.
It’s the Father who sacrifices what is most dear to him, so that those he loves can live better lives. It’s the ancient archetype of the sacrificial or sacred king.
In olden times, when a land faced drought, pestilence, or invasion, the leader would sacrifice themself to restore life to the collective. The more power we have, ideally, the more responsibility we take on.
Sacrificing your own egoic desires for the greater good is an invitation of this time. Saturn Neptune represents the ultimate sacrifice we all make when we become incarnated–we lose our immortality, lose our connection with the great all, and experience loss and death.
Because the only way to know love, to know connection, is to experience death. Saturn Neptune is the Sacredness of death, the sacredness of our vulnerability as mortal beings.
Because love—true love, the kind that awakens and sustains—is impossible without the inevitability of its end. We cherish what we know we will lose. That’s the ache of Saturn Neptune: we remember the sacred not despite our mortality, but because of it. To be mortal is to be capable of devotion. To lose is to understand what is holy.
This transit will show you what matters. What’s worth sacrificing for. What still sings, even in the dark.
What do you need to sacrifice to be more present with life, to be more true to yourself, and to fully step into compassion and love? This transit is going to show you.

Addiction, Ecstasy, and the Return to Form

Neptune, when it's healthy, wants to dissolve the false self. When it's unhealthy, it runs from the self.
Saturn, when it's healthy, clears away anything that is not the true self. When it's unhealthy, it insists on a rigid ego identity.
Saturn-Neptune is the experience of God made real, and it is also the experience of being utterly cut off from the divine. Both experiences are essential, unavoidable components of the spiritual life, and of the path of the mystic.
This is a time of highs and lows. Loss and dreams come true. Addictions are broken and cemented.
Addictions arise when the longing for union becomes unbearable. When Neptune’s promise of transcendence becomes too beautiful to leave behind, we risk getting stuck in the escape. But Saturn demands we come back. If we don’t, our yearning becomes distortion. Our healing becomes another prison.
Healing isn’t about staying high. It’s about coming back with what we saw in an altered state and planting it into the soil.
The same is true of any spiritual path.
The same is true about just being a human.
Learning to withstand incarnated experience, to find its beauty and pleasure, and to stay even when it's hard.
(within reason, please do not stay in abusive situations under any circumstances)

Waking Up

Saturn-Neptune is making the stars come to earth.
It’s also a sky without stars, a symbol in our culture for generations of devastation and hopelessness.
Cut off from our possibilities.
Cut down from the height of our illusions and fantasies.
I know you thought enough dreams and fantasies had been destroyed by the Pandemic and 2024.
I’m sorry to tell you that just isn’t the case.
Saturn is merging with Neptune to give the galaxy a cold slap of reality.
“Wake up!” the Cosmos screams!
Dreaming has its purpose. In most metaphysics of consciousness, we start in a state of unconsciousness.
We must start that way. Learning to be a physical being is HARD. If we were fully aware all the time, we literally wouldn’t survive it.
To be physical is to have limits (SA). Both psychologically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, a process of numbing is essential to survive hardship.
In psychological trauma, our mind disassociates. In physical trauma, our body releases endorphins, which numb our pain receptors.
Saturn-Neptune is the wisdom and compassion of pain relief, but also a difficult confrontation with the consequences of it. A culture that numbs itself to pain must eventually face the consequences of its actions. Sound familiar?
The dreams that survive this year will be cleansed, freed of the social conditioning that limited how big you could imagine.
Illusions will fall away. Fantasies will be exposed. And the ones we refuse to release will be etched deeper. Saturn makes it real.
Saturn-Neptune is here to break our spells and cast new ones, by healing and forcing us to confront the way we numb ourselves–our fantasies about reality.
A lot of fantasies are spells. Spells are just patterns, developed through emotion, attention, and intention, that bind.
They can bind our thoughts, our bodies, our hearts. We can get stuck thinking small, or feeling pain, or feeling nothing at all.
This is a time when you may find parts of yourself you’ve numbed begging to be felt.
You might feel profound sadness with no clear cause. That’s part of the gift, grieving what has long been numbed.
This is a good time to reflect on the future you are creating for yourself and your descendants through the way you numb yourself from what is hard.
Some of us numb too much. Others of us barely numb at all, crumbling from the worlds pain. Saturn-Neptune is an invitation to wise compassion; compassion with boundaries, and boundaries with heart.
Most of us vacillate between the two extremes.
A new cycle is beginning, to initiate us as individuals and a planet, to initiate us into better balance.
This is a good time to reflect on the spells you’ve accepted and cast on yourself.
What stories do you tell yourself are true?
What pain have you been refusing to face?
The sky may seem starless now, but it's only because they are coming home, to your body, your breath, your grieving heart.

Love Beyond Illusion

Letting projections wash away

This conjunction highlights how easy it is to fall into illusions. Neptune idealizes; Saturn exposes.
We want to believe in purity, in good teachers, in perfect answers. But Neptune makes celebrities out of projections, and Saturn tears them down. The lesson isn’t cynicism. It’s discernment. The invitation is to stop outsourcing our authority, to stop believing in the fantasy of salvation.
Good Mother / Bad Mother. Hero / Villain. These are archetypes we place onto others when we can’t hold our own complexity. Saturn–Neptune asks us to grieve our illusions and find reality sacred anyway.
Have you noticed how many iconic cultural figures have died lately? Neptune rules celebrity-the romance, the capacity to hold our projections. Many of the folks who have passed were born with Saturn–Neptune aspects, or embodied strong Neptunian themes—sensitive, visionary, romantic. They carried the collective’s projections. And now, in this season, those vessels are breaking. We are getting an opportunity to take responsibility for our own fantasies, and integrate the qualities we admire and struggle to see in ourselves.
Have you noticed a lot of couples are separating right now? During Saturn-Neptune periods, we reach the end of the road with our current illusions.
Saturn is the end, death, and Neptune is fairy tale love. The transcendent vision of what we know love can be, what we know love IS.
In healthy situations, when these projections fall away, the more immature we are, the more difficult it is for the relationship to survive.
In unhealthy relationships, when these projections fall away, we will likely realize hard truths.
We may numb ourselves to that reality. But if we are very brave, and very wise, we are given opportunities to make boundaries and end what doesn’t serve our essential selves.
We will leave. And it will really hurt. Healing and authenticity await those on such a path.
We may also receive opportunities to face the consequences of our actions.
That probably sounds like an opportunity you’d like to pass on. If part of you doesn’t feel a little like that, you may not be fully human. This transit will help with that.
Consequences are Saturn’s mirror. They reflect our choices, not to punish, but to awaken. They reveal where we are out of integrity—not by someone else’s rules, but our own.
As Melinda May says in Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D “Sometimes that’s the price of doing the right thing. No one will understand, and it hurts like hell.”
(Nerdy fact: Ming-Na-Wen, who plays her, was born under a Saturn-Neptune square.)
If you’re experiencing consequences you don’t like, this time is an opportunity to grieve the past, and wake up in the present to what is necessary to birth the vision of what you desire.
You can’t know love without loss. You can’t change without pain. You can’t become wise without consequences.
For some couples, this transit will be a clearing of illusions and outworn projections.
Relationships that are not a match for your highest good will become uninhabitable. Relationships that are in your best interest will yield the ability to see partners more clearly, without the fantasy that clouds insight. This allows for a much stronger, rooted, supportive love.
A love that honors autonomy and doesn’t require merging to be sustained. A love where you feel seen and known. A love that heals old wounds, and gives you more permission to be yourself.
This story, told by Jungian analyst Marion Woodman, is a window into what it means to love beyond projection–to see the human soul behind the dream.

“I recognized the divine mystery that reveals each of us to ourselves and to each other in my own marriage when, after twenty-five years, I looked up from the armchair in which I was enjoying my morning coffee and saw, for the first time, my husband with no archetypal projection.
He was standing in the kitchen. He was a man garbed in an old Black Watch plaid housecoat with two spindly legs sticking out below. He was attempting to crack an egg into a flimsy poacher. “I could have done better than this,” I thought, “much better than this.”
As I mused, the man put his hand on a loaf of bread, picked up a knife, and before me was a human being concentrated on feeding himself.
“This is the hand I know so well, the hand that plants tulips, types, makes love to me. I have put him through hell; he has put me through hell. Here we are on the seventeenth floor of an apartment building in Toronto with a schizophrenic world outside and an unholy mess in the kitchen. We’re still here together. He walks his path as courageously as he can; I’m walking mine as honestly as I can.”
Suddenly, a wave of love welled up in me. I loved this human being who was so totally different from my inner Bridegroom—so totally, gloriously human.
“Do you want some more coffee, Marion?”
“Yes,” I said.”

This is Saturn-Neptune: The dissolving of idealization into intimacy, and a grounded, true love
This is a time to learn to love people because of, not despite, their flaws. To love yourself and be loved in your wholeness, your messy, paradoxical, emotional, contradictory self.
This is a vulnerable time to love and to be human. We long to be anything else, but joy comes when we meet the reflection without flinching, and learn to love not just what could be, but what is.

The Call to Compassion

There is no spiritual maturity without sorrow. This transit cracks the heart open.
Compassion is born from such experiences, not as sentimentality, but as a discipline of presence.
It is not drowning in someone else’s ocean. It’s learning to stand on your own shore while offering a hand.
Merging with another’s pain is often a survival adaptation—a gentle soul’s response to toxic conditions.
It lets us bypass our own pain, keeps us small, and blocks the actions truest to us.
I spent much of my 36 years doing just that. Compassion has been the tool I use every day to break that spell.
Every day, I face the invitation to judge myself—or soften into compassion. I don’t expect that learning to end. I don’t expect it to be finished for any of us.
Compassion is facing your limitations and saying, “I did my best. I am still learning. I trust the goodness in me. I trust the deeper wisdom guiding me toward a life I can be proud of.”
It’s looking at another’s flaws and saying, “Me too.”
I too have lashed out in fear. Longed for love and pushed it away.
Felt shame and been cruel. Failed my own standards. Refused to grow when it mattered.
It didn’t make me less deserving of love.
It doesn’t make you less deserving either.
Saturn–Neptune, in this season, is giving us the chance to see what disconnects us, both individually and culturally.
It reveals the lie (Neptune) inside the structure (Saturn).
And that lie is this: you are alone, or must disconnect to be safe.
Oppressive systems are institutionalized disconnection.
Numbing is primal, but it isn’t the only way to survive. This moment is healing how we protect ourselves—offering connection as the new safety. But first we have to grieve what that old safety cost us.
As a culture, we are beginning to notice our tendency to pick and choose truths.
It’s harder to admit that we all do it.
But we do.
The nervous system numbs so we’re not overwhelmed into inaction—and in doing so, becomes an unreliable narrator. Not by flaw, but by function.
The trouble comes when we refuse to notice that.
When we weaponize our version of the story.
When we stop collaborating.
True storytelling—conscious, soul-rooted, communal storytelling—requires shadow work.
It asks us to name the parts of ourselves that manipulate, numb, control, collapse. To name them without shame, and still see ourselves as worthy of love.
That’s compassion.
It’s the willingness to hold the forgotten, rejected, denied parts.
Ours and others’.
That’s the spell-breaker.
It’s how we become human—not as something separate or superior from creation, but as beings woven into everything else.
The water. The trees. The microbes. The wind.
And yes, the algorithms and the AI.
Compassion is not letting people off the hook. It’s not bypassing harm. It’s not “everything happens for a reason.”
Especially under Saturn–Neptune, compassion needs boundaries.
It says:
“I know you made those choices trying to survive. But that doesn’t mean you’re exempt from their consequences.”
It says:
“I see your pain. But I won’t let you use it to cause more.”
This is the maturity Saturn asks of us. Not perfection. But integrity.
As Jesus said (and there’s a whole other post coming on Saturn–Neptune and Jesus):
“First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s.”
Compassion is a refusal to reduce anyone to a single story.
It’s not the rejection of categories—Saturn loves a box. It’s the wisdom to use boxes as tools, not cages. To know we all live in many of them, and none contain the whole.
Compassion is also practical. It’s daily. It’s small.
It’s asking a question instead of reacting.
It’s breathing when you want to collapse.
It’s staying curious about your anger.
It’s crying when you need to cry.
Saying no when it’s true.
Trusting the still voice in you, even when it terrifies you.
Compassion is a spiritual boundary.
It says:
“I see your humanity. You’re not a monster. But I still say no.”
We gently disagree. We protest. We grieve. We take responsibility. We meet the disillusionment without collapsing.
We let life (SA) and love (NE) shape us into people who can say:
“I can’t hold that weight for you,” and “I can’t hold my this weight alone.”
We learn to ask for help from people we can trust.
And—when it is right, when we have the space to do so—we say:
“I’ll hold the weight with you.”
And mean it.

Being with the Living Sacred

Practical tools

Saturn–Neptune is a spiritual practice.
Not spiritual practice as self-improvement or performance—but as devotional flow, dedicated dreaming, and discipline as love. It’s showing up to whatever brings you into contact with the divine: your relationships, your breath, your sweeping, your altar.
Being with the sacred doesn’t mean leaving your life behind to find it. It means remembering it is already here. Cracks and all. Especially the cracks.
When I say sacred, I mean that which connects us—to the living earth, to each other, to the cosmos, to the quiet feeling that we are not alone. That others have felt and wept and laughed and breathed before us. That it is a gift to be a part of it.
If sacred doesn’t land, try beautiful. If that doesn’t work, try love.
What follows is not a prescription, but a soft framework. The point isn’t to change your life, but to see it—with a little more compassion, a little more presence—as already sacred.
And if it doesn’t feel that way right now? Show up with gentle discipline where you hope it might. Walk the paths that have glittered for you before, where trusted guides and beloveds have shown the way.
Saturn–Neptune asks us to spiritualize structure. Not to earn purity, but to build a vessel that can hold beauty. This is where art becomes liturgy, healing becomes holy repetition, and the sacred becomes real through the slow, transforming process of incarnation.
Sacred practice is not homework.
It’s not pulling a tarot card on the full moon because you’re “supposed to.”
It’s being present with your actual life.
If nothing on this list feels possible to you, trust that. Honor where you are.
If you can’t pray, maybe you can read a novel.
If you can’t sing, maybe you can lie on the grass.
If you can’t meditate, maybe you can place your feet in the ocean.
Even your stillness lays a foundation for the sacred.
This is a time of reflection, not force. Reverence, not rush.
Much of my content is written for folks familiar with transformative practices. But if that’s not you—or if you’re too tender for it right now—go simple. Drink water. Watch a movie. Listen to music. Breathe.
The sacred is there, too.
Here are a few ways to be with the living sacred right now:
Be with the sacred through… Presence
Presence isn’t a mountaintop; it’s your body being where it is. It’s mind and breath staying with the dishes, the sweeping, the errands.
Choose one humble chore. Let it be a teacher. Assume there’s something worth noticing. Feel the love inside the labor.
If you want to deepen, reflect. Who benefits? What is tended? What is healed?
Want to increase the depth? Do it without distraction. Do it without judgment.
Be with the sacred through… Dreaming
Neptune governs dreams, fantasy, and imagination. If your nights are thick with romance or nightmare right now, take note. That's Saturn-Neptune.
Write the dreams down. Paint them. Let their images bleed into your waking world. Try Active Imagination or journeying—or don’t. Let the river take you.
Be with the Sacred through…Creating
Neptune rules creativity, especially the fine arts. Any creative practice you take seriously right now will flourish.
Feel confused, unfocused, directionless? Show up anyway. Be kind to yourself even when it feels like you’re getting nowhere.
Who knows what’s being built beneath the fog?
Cultivate discipline without rigidity, and honor the creative spark within you. It is a path to love and connection. What is more sacred then that?
Be with the sacred through… Wonder
You don’t have to make art to meet beauty. Gaze at paintings. Listen to music. Watch clouds move. Smell the forest floor.
Wonder is a portal.
Whatever reminds you that you are part of something larger will activate the medicine of this moment.
Let it do its quiet work. When spirit feels far, the natural world and the arts will meet you.
Be with the sacred through… Humanitarian care
If you’re called to service, now is potent, and the action of service will transform you. But beware of over-giving.
For those deeply involved in activism or care work, it might be time to rest. Burnout is a real risk in this transit, when you may struggle to find the difference between enough and too much, others' needs and you’re own.
You’re not the only one who can carry the torch. Let someone else pick it up for a while.
Be with the sacred through… Spiritual practice
Neptune rules spirituality. If you’ve been wanting to deepen your devotional life, this is a good time—just bring your sense of humor.
Curiosity over judgment. Gentleness over dogma.
Retiring old spiritual practices can be just as holy as beginning new ones.
Honor your rhythm.
Be with the sacred through… Healing
This transit can coincide with strange symptoms, illness, collapse, and spiritual-psychosomatic overwhelm.
Neptune dissolves boundaries; Saturn brings consequences.
But with gentle, consistent care, healing can become real. Nourish your body. Seek trusted practitioners.
This may be a time to deeply engage in trauma-informed work that helps your body release long-held patterns.
Even illnesses treatable by allopathic means often need the heart-mind-body-spirit to realign.
Let your body be part of your prayer.
Be with the sacred through… Breath
When all else fails, breathe. Let it rise. Let it fall. Sometimes breath brings up what we’ve buried. That’s okay. If you’re not ready to feel it all, that’s okay too.
Breath is enough.
Be with the sacred in… Tears
I know y'all are crying anyway. Let yourself. Trusting your tears illuminates them as a sacrament. Grief, fatigue, rage, longing—it’s all sacred. Each tear is a baptism. Let them fall.
Be with the sacred through… Discernment
When Saturn meets Neptune, illusions grow bones and truths go soft. This is prime time for con artists, false prophets, and manipulative charmers. Bypassing gets sneakier.
Our addictions become punishing. Our punishments become addictive.
If you can’t see clearly, ask for help. Trusted friends. Mentors. Healers. Ask someone with a different perspective. Together, we can safely traverse this fog.
Even your confusion is sacred.
When you feel lost, listless, hopeless…remember:
There are gods of refuse. There are altars of compost. There is divinity in decay and the undone.
Honor your experience exactly as it is.
That is enough.
Everything else is just an opportunity for play.
Life is for living.

Closing

A World Remade by Grief and Imagination

This moment is both poison and cure. Neptune casts spells. Saturn breaks them. Together, they ask: what story are you living inside? Who gave it to you? What will you build with what’s left?
The Saturn–Neptune conjunction is not a storm to survive—it’s a consecration. A chance to make your healing real. A chance to take your imagination seriously. A chance to deepen into relationship with the soul of the world.
The cosmos is weeping. Maybe you are, too. That’s okay. It means you’re listening. The divine listens with you. Let your tears water a vision of a more loving world.
