As we wrap up the first month of 2026, consider the horoscopic snapshot of the moment... it’s a bit like a poker hand. Deuces are wild. No matter where you look - whether Aquarius or Aries, or Gemini or Virgo, a planetary pairing stares back at you, anticipating your reaction in a most favorable direction.
Here are the immediate precise conjunctions:
Mars conjunct Pluto in Aquarius
It’s all about reaction. Sure, circumstances out there appear impossible, daunting, Twilight Zone strange and any of these circumstances may inspire anger. The constant rage bait appearing in social media is how many folks chose to deal with all the nonsense. Online posting is not the answer Pluto contends. The lord of the Underworld favors proactive engagement. Pluto stresses that any Martian effort taken needs to be approached as if there is no tomorrow. One day, he points out, this will be true. When a person faces the tribunal in the afterlife, it will serve that person’s purposes to indicate that full, passionate effort was applied in life with full awareness of consequence.
Sun conjunct Vesta in Aquarius
This transit shoots out a quick, five-day message that it’s time to heal those who refuse to engage in what’s good for what ails them. The point of this brief healing cycle is, when in the heat of the moment, one must engage with ones passion only in ways that do not seek to sublimate energies. If you have a need, know your need. Get in your body and deal with fulfilling that need. Period.
Mercury conjunct Venus in Aquarius
Talk, talk, talk. At some point chatter needs to become a campaign of meritorious content the likes of which is immediately evident to all who encounter that campaign. All discussion of what one might, could or intends to engage in life requires placement in a look book that clearly defines the direction intended. Pretty pictures are fine, but clearly indicate what action will be taken, when that action will be taken, and what that action will cost, with contingency. Don’t forget to include a budget top sheet for those you seek to woo into engagement.
The following conjunctions do not fall in the category of partile, but they are close enough to win a cigar and more important, these transits are ongoing and not blips of needed short term activity as the above transit are:
Saturn in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Aries
It’s FIELD OF DREAMS time regarding you and you alone. Establish what you can do to achieve all aspects of your most fantastic projections in life. Dream big or go home. Plan practically and plan large or go home. Do life big or you might as well stay in bed and hope for another dream to come along and rattle your psyche and shake your soul into full, unlimited life engagement. There is no reliance nor dependency on others. What life yields depends on you and your efforts. For the next foreseeable months, remain self contained, self focused and more determined than ever. Insert your favorite metaphor for some creature undeterred by impossibility - like a spider weaving a web, ants building an ant hill. Make an image of that and make that image your mantra.
Chiron conjunct Eris in Aries
Cull your social media. Only engage with what supports your objectives and goals. Forget about going on the like/follow blitz in social media in the interest of generating return likes and follows. Figure out where you need to fit in. Figure how you can best present yourself to that not yet achieved life strata such that inclusion occurs organically and without twenty questions that seek to locate your intent. Yeah, intent. Clearly indicate to others with total honesty why you’re doing what you’re doing. If you know you’re not fully forthright, shift it to be centered on intent and integrity.
Uranus in Taurus conjunct Sedna in Gemini
Shifts and changes may initially experience hesitation based upon funding. If you don’t yet have a million dollars to throw at your objectives, start with what you can do with ten buck or Euros or whatever. Think like an ant. Each grain of sand adds to the growing anthill. Next, recognize every life tweak or out and out change engaged is of your doing. There can be no blame, no transfer of responsibility to others who rendered suggestions/advice to you. You made this bed. If there’s a pea under the sheets, it’s up to you to fix it. And you can fix any potential calamity and you can fix it best at the moment of first realization. Is it true life is full of second changes and groovy course corrections. Let us assume that you soon bear that news as a result of your life experience.
Orcus conjunct Chiminigagua in Virgo
You know what? Once there was nothing. Once there was dark. Boom! The Big Bang happened and they there was light. It may not have been the Big Bang that flicked the consciousness light switch. Regardless, it got flipped, and now everyone must function as a light body. Okay, maybe not like a light body, but at least each person must promise themselves and their perceived Creator that they intend to function well in life. Well means with intent, clear motive that serves the highest possible purposes and always spreading positive and/or inspiring outcomes. This is a vow - a verbal contract with the Creator who has a memory longer than a Sedna transit. However, with clear intent, choices and directions taken in life become instinctive, impeccable and always as pure as the driven snow.
