Saturn Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries

This aspect is highlighted between April 2025 to April 2026. It is exact on 20 Feb 2026 on World Axis 0 Aries.

36-year cycle

Last conjunction between Dec 1988 and Jan 1990. It was exact in March, June and Nov 1989. Berlin Wall fell on 9 Nov 1989.

Saturn rules governments and those in authority. Neptune rules dreams and ideals of those in society. This conjunction indicates that  dreams and ideals have not materialised as imagined. A structure needs to dissolve for something new to emerge.

Berlin Wall stood from 1961 to 1989 separating East and West Germany. Series of revolutions in Hungary and Poland in 1989 caused chain reaction in East Germany. World order changed.

ANC unbanned on 2 Feb 1990.

Tiananmen Square Protests in China between April to June 1989. Students called for democracy, free speech and free press in China. There was a deadly crackdown by authorities on 3 June 1989.

Cold War was active between 1985 and 1991. USSR formally dissolved on 26 Dec 1991. Lithuania was the first to break away in March 1990. Following defeat of Germany in WW2 Soviet Union installed communist regimes in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, East Germany and Albania. This grouping formed communist alliance under the Warsaw Pact.

Western grouping of countries formed NATO in 1949 post WW2.

Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 Feb 2022. Ukraine more west leaning and Russia sees this as a threat. Likely to come to a head in Feb 2026 with Saturn Neptune conjunction.

This Saturn Neptune conjunction is very connected to structural changes in Russian/Soviet Union.  

Saturn Neptune conjunct 1917 – Russian Revolution marked abolishment of monarchy in 1917. New system of communism. US became engaged in WW1 on 4 April 1917.

Saturn Neptune conjunct 1952/1953 when Joseph Stalin died on 5 March 1953. This ended his long reign as leader of Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953.

Saturn Neptune conjunction 1989 – Berlin Wall fell and collapse of communism in Russia.

This cycle very significant to political changes in Russia. I wonder what will transpire across the world and in China and South Africa?

These 3 leaders are born under Saturn Neptune conjunction

Vladimir Putin – 7 Oct 1952 St Petersburg Russia

Xi Jinping – 15 June 1953 Beijing China

Cyril Ramaphosa – 17 Nov 1952 Soweto South Africa

All born with Saturn Neptune conjunction. In addition Saturn/Neptune square Uranus and Saturn/Neptune sextile Pluto. This is a powerful generational signature.
