Saturn-Neptune conjunctions have historically coincided with themes involving conspiracies, secret organizations, covert operations, and the exposure or suppression of secretive groups. As this conjunction goes exact again in February of 2026, I wanted to reflect on how some of these themes have been coming up again quite dramatically, and how history is repeating.

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for February 2026, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology surrounding news stories that happened in January, many of which coincided with a rare triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun, as well as the Mars-Pluto conjunction that happened later in the month. Then in the second hour we do a deep dive into the astrology of February. The astrology of February is extremely busy and momentous, and includes Uranus making its final direct station in Taurus, eclipse season beginning with a solar eclipse in Aquarius, Saturn entering Aries and then immediately completing a conjunction with Neptune, Mars squaring Uranus, and Mercury going retrograde in Pisces.

In episode 520 astrologer Nick Dagan Best joins me for a live workshop where we interviewed five listeners who shared stories about how recurrence transits coincided with important moments in their lives. This is a follow-up to our original episode on recurrence transits from November 2025, where we first introduced the concept of tracking when planetary aspects in the sky repeat specific aspect configurations from your birth chart. While our initial discussion focused largely on celebrity charts to illustrate the theory, for this episode we wanted to demonstrate how this technique manifests in practice by interviewing several patrons who generously shared their personal stories. During the show, we speak with five listeners who walk us through their chronologies to show how these transits coincided with major life events. We examine a wide variety of planetary combinations, including Mars-Saturn, Mars-Uranus, and Venus-Jupiter alignments. The examples illustrate how the repetition of a natal aspect can trigger pivotal turning points involving career changes, relationships, accidents, and even multi-generational family patterns. What becomes clear through these interviews is how the recurrence of a natal aspect often coincides with events that are thematically consistent with the original promise of the birth chart, sometimes playing out as literal repetitions of the past or as significant evolutions of a personal narrative. We also discuss some of the technical nuances of working with recurrence transits, such as the importance of phase relationships, and how to track these cycles using the search tools available on Astro-Seek. This episode serves as a practical demonstration of how to research and apply this technique to gain a deeper understanding of your own biography and the timing of major life events.

In episode 519 of the podcast I'm joined by astrologer Reverend Lindsay Turner to discuss the story of the Magi, the birth of Jesus, and the astrology surrounding the Nativity story. We explore the celebration of Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day, and analyze the Gospel of Matthew's account of the astrologers from the East who followed a star to Bethlehem. We discuss the distinction between approaching the Nativity as a historical event versus a literary narrative, and how the author of Matthew partially used the story of the Magi to legitimize Jesus as a king in the 1st century. We also look at technical astrological terms found in the Greek text, such as anatole or "at its rising," and how this relates to Hellenistic astrology. We also talk about the relationship between early Christianity and astrology, including the non-canonical Acts of Paul and Thecla, the liturgical seasons aligning with the Zodiac, and how modern Christians can reconcile their faith with astrological practice.

Nick Dagan Best joins me to discuss the rare triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun that took place in early January 2026. We review the major news stories that coincided with this alignment, with a primary focus on tracing historical recurrences to show how each event is tied to specific precursors that occurred under similar triple conjunctions over the past century. We spent the first week of the year witnessing a decade’s worth of history unfold in just ten days. In this episode, we analyze how the precise alignment of these three planetary bodies in Capricorn correlates with the dramatic geopolitical events we are seeing now, including the US military strike on Venezuela, the escalating tensions regarding Greenland, and the widespread protests in Iran. Our discussion builds on our previous episodes on recurrence transits, by showing how they work when more than one planet is involved in a recurrence, creating a more specific repetition of events. This is a deep dive into mundane astrology, looking at how the past informs the present through the repetition of planetary cycles. This is episode 518 of The Astrology Podcast.

The year ahead astrology forecast for 2026, with predictions about the major planetary alignments taking place over the next twelve months, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first half of the episode giving a big picture overview of the most important planetary alignments in 2026, and then in the second half we dive into a month by month breakdown of the astrology of the next year. This is episode 517 of The Astrology Podcast. Overview of the Astrology of 2026 The year opens with Saturn and Neptune departing from Pisces and moving into the tropical zodiac sign of Aries, where they form an exact conjunction with each other in February, marking the peak of the reality distortion field. February and March sees the start of our first eclipse season, with a solar eclipse in Aquarius in February, followed by a lunar eclipse in Virgo in early March, marking the beginning of a new eclipse series of major endings and beginnings in Leo-Aquarius while the Virgo-Pisces series winds down. The Saturn-Neptune conjunct is reactivated in April when Mars enters that sign and forms a quadruple conjunction with Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune. Later in April the planet Uranus moves into the sign of Gemini where it will stay until 2033, thus marking the full onset of the Uranus return of the United States. This Uranus transit through Gemini reaches a critical and explosive turning point around July 4, when Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini, which is the first in a series of four pivotal conjunctions between now and 2032. Jupiter spends the first half of the year wrapping up its transit through the sign of exaltation in Cancer, with one of the main highlights being an auspicious Venus-Jupiter conjunction in early June, but then in the second half of the year Jupiter moves into Leo and begins a series of alignments that will put the spotlight on that sign in late 2026 and early 2027. In August we get our second eclipse season of the year, with a solar eclipse in the sign of Leo, followed by a lunar eclipse in the sign of Pisces, thus fully inaugurating the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series. There is a messy Venus retrograde in the signs of Libra and Scorpio in October and November, and then the year closes with Mars getting ready to station retrograde in Leo and Virgo, leaving us on a cliffhanger that leads into the beginning of 2027. 2026 Electional Astrology Report https://theastrologypodcast.com/2026report/ Astrotheoros https://astrotheoros.com Use the code ASTROLOGYPOD to get a free month of the program!

Astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best explore Mars-Uranus conjunctions in Gemini in US history, and how they have coincided with some of the most pivotal turning points during the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II, in order to gain insight into the upcoming conjunctions from 2026 to 2032. This episode originated from research for the upcoming 2026 forecast, specifically noticing the striking Mars-Uranus conjunction that will occur on July 4, 2026—the nation’s 250th birthday. Building on our previous work regarding the US Uranus Return and recurrence transits, we examine how the United States was founded under a specific Mars-Uranus conjunction signature. Because this alignment exists in the country's birth chart, its recurrence in the sky acts as a powerful trigger, particularly when it returns to the sign of Gemini. Our research uncovered a distinct narrative pattern across three major historical eras: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the period spanning World War II and the start of the Cold War. We found that significant "precursor" events often emerge during Mars-Uranus conjunctions in Taurus, which then escalate into major conflicts and structural changes once the conjunctions move into Gemini, before finally reaching a resolution or new status quo as the alignment shifts into Cancer. We track this sequence through history, noting astounding correlations where exact conjunctions coincided with defining moments such as the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, the attack on Fort Sumter that began the Civil War, and the detonation of the atomic bomb in 1945. We discuss themes of rebellion, military innovation, and the struggle for liberation that seem to consistently resurface during these windows of time. Finally, we apply these historical lessons to the present, analyzing the precursor events of the last decade to forecast the themes of the upcoming Uranus in Gemini cycle from 2025 to 2033. We outline the timing of the four Mars-Uranus conjunctions that will take place between 2026 and 2032, and discuss what history implies about the threshold we are currently crossing.

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for December 2025, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news stories that happened since our last forecast, such as the major flight delays and internet outages that coincided with the Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars, and then in the second hour we do a deep dive into November’s astrology. The astrology of December features a challenging square between Mars-Saturn-Neptune, and much of our discussion focuses on the potential for bubbles popping when that Mars transit pierces the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.

I've been listening to several episodes here, and what really stands out is how much depth modern astrology has regained - especially when it's explored as a language of psychology rather than prediction. Recently I discovered https://www.virea.co/ which follows a similar approach: it focuses on clear chart visualization and emotional interpretation rather than fortune-telling. It's great to see more projects and podcasts bringing symbolic understanding and analytical clarity together.

Hi, thanks for your podcast 🙏🌺 Is it possible for me to have the transcript of episodes? Although I know English, sometimes it is difficult for me to understand what you are saying.

This was so great for clarifying. I'm a sun & venus Aries 10th house however, my mercury is retrograde in Mercury. I've always had much confusion about my Aries sun and this really helped me understand. It helped me understand what it actually means to embrace my Aries which tends to get jumbled with my Mercury in Pisces retrograde. I find Aries are a spark of wit - and as Rick mentioned no one seems to catch the wittiness !

Ignorance of the facts, Roe v Wade, is off-putting. Can you look into the facts that it should have always been left up to each state, not the Feds, yo determine states laws and rights. Please take off your liberal blinders.

It would serve all of your listeners to steer away from politics. The slat in one direction is distasteful and very off-putting. One more reason many conservatives steer away from astrology and woo. I've noticed this in many of your podcasts. MHO.
