Belief systems

Saturn conjunct Neptune – 20 Feb 2026

Belief systems are a structured set of principles set to be true for individuals or groups of people. Beliefs profoundly influence human behaviour shaping how we conduct ourselves individually and collectively. Societies need a rules based system to flourish so that we understand our roles and responsibilities individually and collectively. Beliefs affect our code of conduct, societal actions, values and perceptions. Beliefs systems can be religious and/or political.

Religious beliefs explain the origin of the universe, the existence of gods and set out moral codes of conduct. Political beliefs explain how societies should be managed and governed and are often based on ideas about power and resource distribution.

As we approach the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune at 0 Aries on 20 Feb 2026, these matters will come into sharp focus. Saturn is associated with systems and those in authority. With Saturn in Aries, we are encouraged to take responsibility for our actions. There will be consequences from our actions. These consequences will be felt individually and collectively. Our actions can sometimes cause harm to others. Neptune is connected to idealism and spirituality. Neptune is also associated with lies, deception, corruption, addiction and fanaticism. With Neptune in Aries we are asked to heal ourselves for the collective good. As these planets connect we need to ask ourselves whether what we belief remains true? 

Any system whether religious or political, will collapse if it is weighed down by lies and corruption. A new system will need to be reimagined with a more meaningful and realistic ideals. What needs to be dissolved? What sacrifices do we need to make individually and collectively to achieve the ideals we strive for as the collective? How do we step out of victimhood and heal? What spiritual journey do we need to embark on personally and collectively to heal? How do we live more consciously?

Capricorn year ahead

This is a very significant time financially especially with regards joint resources connected to your relationship/business partnership. With Sun/Moon/Mars and Venus all in 8th house and Moon/Mars and Venus out of bounds this is a very powerful time and highlights the volatility. Do you need to rely on your partner more financially? How does this make you feel?

Financial matters are connected to your relationship/partnership/home and family. This is a mixed bag of planets and dynamics. Mars is very strong and determined. The Moon is more concerned. How are these financial matters connected to your work? What about your children and the financial demands of children and school fees? You are concerned about your relationship and this connects to your own financial situation and household matters.

What needs to change financially when you consider your partnership? You seem disillusioned about your career. Are things too good to be true? There seem to be issues connected to lies/deception. What needs to change?

It is time to be bold and back yourself and start a process of connecting with your long term goals. Are they realistic or not?

There does seem to be tension between information and beliefs. What needs to change? How is this connected to your purpose and life direction ? #Capricorn

Mars square Neptune

Mars was exactly square Neptune on 14 December 2025. Mars is associated with aggression and violence. Neptune is associated with assassinations, idealism, spirituality and fanaticism. Neptune is also associated with the ocean. Tragic that at this time the world saw 2 tragedies one in Sydney and the other at Brown University in the US.

Mars square Saturn and Neptune

Things remain tense with Mars in an applying square aspect to Saturn which becomes exact on 9 December 2025. Mars reflects energy and drive and Saturn setbacks and accountability. Mars wants to push ahead but Mars is also heading for a square with Neptune which becomes exact on 14 December 2025. Neptune is making things confusing. Neptune connects to ideals and dreams but equally deception. It’s a tricky time we need to navigate.

All this is building to the exact conjunction of Saturn and Neptune on 20 February 2026.
