36-Year RESET! Saturn & Neptune Conjoin in Aries + A Messy-Creative Mercury Rx & Venus-Jupiter Grace · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

• 0:00
  Hello and welcome back to our weekly astrology podcast where
• 0:04
  we light our candles, grab our blankets, get cozy and talk all
• 0:08
  things cosmos. I am your host astrologer and
• 0:11
  coach Sarah Posh. And this week's episode is
• 0:14
  bringing us into the next week of our eclipse cycle, our
• 0:17
  eclipse season. How's everybody feeling after
• 0:19
  that Aquarius new moon solar eclipse that just happened on
• 0:23
  Tuesday the 17th? I'd love to hear.
• 0:25
  And I just want to say also thank you to everybody who's
• 0:28
  been showing up in the comments. I'm loving engaging with you
• 0:31
  guys. To be totally transparent, I am
• 0:34
  human and I'm experiencing this eclipse cycle.
• 0:37
  It feels like it is tossing me through the riptides of time and
• 0:41
  experience and a lot of big change.
• 0:43
  So if I haven't gotten to your comments yet, please know it's
• 0:47
  on the docket. It's on the to do.
• 0:48
  And even if I haven't responded, I have got a chance to read a
• 0:51
  lot of your guys's comments and I just love the engagement.
• 0:54
  I love hearing so many people just reflect so much deep
• 0:57
  self-awareness and also I can sense a lot of compassion and
• 1:01
  heart and intention and all of you in the comments.
• 1:03
  So thank you everybody for being here, for being real and for
• 1:07
  being here with me every week, wherever we are.
• 1:09
  Today, we're back in our special little temporary transitional
• 1:13
  nook space. Hopefully by the time we get to
• 1:14
  those full moon horoscopes, I'm going to be in my new residence.
• 1:18
  I'm going to be relocated and settling in.
• 1:21
  So wish me luck. I appreciate everybody who's
• 1:23
  been sending the good you do in the comments for this move
• 1:25
  that's happening, but I'll let you know.
• 1:27
  Well, you'll be able to see. So we'll be able to know where
• 1:31
  we're at one week from now. And isn't that kind of crazy how
• 1:34
  all these transits? This is always true for eclipse
• 1:37
  cycles. Like we are always travelling in
• 1:39
  an acceleration of time. Time almost feels like it
• 1:41
  becomes dilated and everything happens all at once.
• 1:44
  If there were things that we were putting off, changes that
• 1:47
  we were kind of hesitating for, then when we get to these cycles
• 1:50
  of eclipses, these new moons and full moons, they accelerate that
• 1:53
  change and they push us forward. And then on top of that, in this
• 1:56
  week's episode, we're going to get to the official Saturn
• 1:59
  Neptune conjunction at 0° of Aries.
• 2:01
  And that's just another compounded layering effect of
• 2:05
  this idea of time dissolving, or the barriers between the past,
• 2:09
  the present, and the future seeming to start to bleed
• 2:12
  together into the state of what's real, where am I right
• 2:16
  now, what's happening, and where are we going?
• 2:19
  And then on top of that, what else are we going to get?
• 2:21
  Of course, Mercury's retrograde and Pisces.
• 2:24
  So while this isn't a moment to necessarily feel a lot of
• 2:26
  certainty, there is a way in which we can stay grounded, not
• 2:30
  in our typical making a productive To Do List or trying
• 2:33
  to get some plans in order. It's about being open and
• 2:36
  available for allowing life to reveal to you what it is that
• 2:40
  these changes are trying to do for you, where it is that
• 2:43
  they're trying to take you, and to stay anchored and grounded in
• 2:45
  your intention, in your heart, and your connection to your own
• 2:49
  personal values and what matters, what has meaning.
• 2:51
  So while there's a lot of confusion, there's a lot of
• 2:54
  grief, there's a lot of uncertainty, there's also a lot
• 2:57
  of opportunity and especially with this week's astrology for
• 3:00
  deepening our relationship with each other, for connection, for
• 3:03
  people, for care. So with that, let's go ahead.
• 3:06
  Let's dive into the astrology of this week, starting with a
• 3:09
  Saturn Neptune conjunction. On Friday, February 20th, we're
• 3:12
  going to have the Moon in Aries, which we love.
• 3:15
  How poetic is it? Of course, the Moon is going to
• 3:18
  be there on the day of this Saturn Neptune conjunction.
• 3:21
  Now we are officially starting this new cycle, this new
• 3:24
  chapter, these new storylines. Saturn Neptune come into a
• 3:27
  conjunction once every 30-6 years.
• 3:29
  So the last time that we had these two planets come together
• 3:32
  was in the sign of Capricorn in 1989.
• 3:35
  And actually I want to reference, there's a really,
• 3:38
  really thorough, in a very crisp running sort of way podcast on
• 3:42
  the Astrology Podcast channel. It's episode 483.
• 3:45
  And astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dick Mast went through
• 3:48
  the Saturn Neptune conjunctions throughout history.
• 3:51
  And so if you're somebody who wants to know more about the
• 3:53
  historical, mundane correlative events and data from these
• 3:58
  historical conjunctions between Saturn and Neptune, I highly
• 4:01
  encourage you to go check that video out.
• 4:03
  They also have the transcripts for those videos.
• 4:05
  So if you're somebody that can't sit and watch or listen, you're
• 4:08
  more of like a reading kind of learning, then I definitely
• 4:11
  encourage you check out that transcript.
• 4:13
  Check out that episode. It is a rich resource of
• 4:16
  information. But I want to come back to the
• 4:18
  conjunction that's happening right now.
• 4:19
  This conjunction has actually been building really since
• 4:22
  Saturn entered into Pisces in March of 2023.
• 4:25
  Saturn and Neptune were in their balsamic phase, the final hours
• 4:29
  and days and years and moments before this new chapter was
• 4:32
  beginning. And now we're officially
• 4:34
  starting. There is, you know, going back,
• 4:36
  this is our first major outer planet transit of 2026 and a
• 4:40
  series of so many major shifts that are going to be happening.
• 4:43
  And similar to eclipses, often times when we're starting a
• 4:47
  cycle between planets like Saturn and Neptune like this,
• 4:49
  it's not in the moment that we really recognize what the impact
• 4:53
  was of this threshold. But what we do know is that all
• 4:57
  endings are beginnings. All beginnings are endings.
• 4:59
  And so maybe just personally taking a moment right now,
• 5:03
  thinking what in your life feels like there is a significant
• 5:06
  chapter ending or beginning. So thinking in the Aries area of
• 5:11
  your chart. So look at your chart.
• 5:12
  Where does Aries live? What house does Aries rule?
• 5:15
  What are the topics and the themes associated with that
• 5:17
  house? And can you recognize, can you
• 5:20
  locate any of these thresholds of major endings or beginnings,
• 5:24
  even if there's a lot of in between confusion or
• 5:26
  uncertainty? Can you sense what's behind you?
• 5:29
  And maybe you're recognizing a new level of softening, a new
• 5:34
  invitation for maturity through surrender, acceptance,
• 5:39
  compassion. We're talking about Saturn
• 5:41
  giving these reality checks, but with the archetype of Neptune's
• 5:45
  compassion, interconnection, faith, intuition.
• 5:49
  So what is the new dream and the Aries area of your chart that
• 5:52
  you're seating in your own heart at this time?
• 5:55
  And again, we talked about how this has been building since
• 5:58
  Saturn entered into Pisces in March 2023, But also this has
• 6:02
  been building in a very heightened, accelerated way
• 6:06
  really since December of 2025. And so I encourage you, if
• 6:10
  you're interested, you can go back and check out the episode
• 6:12
  that I did in December on the waning squares between the
• 6:15
  planets moving through Sagittarius and Saturn, Neptune
• 6:18
  and their final hours before this moment that we're having
• 6:21
  right now. And you can kind of think back
• 6:23
  to those squares. What were you going through at
• 6:25
  that time? What was kind of coming to an
• 6:28
  end? Or in my case, it felt like
• 6:30
  things were just dissolving. They were just like trying to
• 6:32
  hold water in your hand. It was just falling through.
• 6:36
  And it was really this invitation to slow way down and
• 6:40
  to drop into a state of deeper trust in what it was that was
• 6:43
  coming to an end, even if it wasn't necessarily planned from
• 6:47
  linear, logical mind. And then bringing that full
• 6:50
  circle to this moment and recognizing where has that
• 6:53
  Neptunian wave landed me? What sure am I standing on of
• 6:58
  what's been emptied and opened and healed?
• 7:01
  And now it's this new invitation to start dreaming and imagining
• 7:05
  this new reality, this new world that I want to create in the
• 7:09
  Aries area of my own personal chart.
• 7:11
  And also, if you are born with Saturn in any of the cardinal
• 7:15
  signs, that means that you're going through one of your major
• 7:17
  Saturn transits in the Saturn cycle.
• 7:19
  And if you're born with Saturn in Aries, congratulations, happy
• 7:23
  Saturn return. Something that's really sweet is
• 7:26
  that you get to have the Saturn Neptune conjunction baked into
• 7:30
  your Saturn return. This is how you're opening the
• 7:33
  next major 30 year chapter of your life.
• 7:36
  And so this isn't just some normal standard Saturn return or
• 7:41
  Saturn transit. This is elevating, deepening,
• 7:45
  spiritualizing this Saturn transit in a much bigger way.
• 7:49
  And of course, we talk about Saturn as the ruler of karma,
• 7:52
  the ruler of choice. Saturn is the most free will
• 7:56
  planet in the chart because Saturn is always going to reward
• 7:59
  and bring consequences to the choices that we make.
• 8:02
  We always have a choice, and the choices are usually difficult.
• 8:06
  Saturn doesn't make things easy because Saturn shows what's
• 8:10
  worth it. Saturn shows the efforts and the
• 8:12
  decisions, the hard nose and the limitations that we honor and
• 8:16
  endure for a greater yes. The bigger yes, the more
• 8:19
  important and meaningful yes. Those are the decisions that
• 8:22
  we're always going to be faced with in a Saturn transit.
• 8:25
  So right now, what's most important to you?
• 8:27
  What efforts are worth enduring for the long term?
• 8:30
  What's worth a temporary sense of limitation or a sense of
• 8:35
  Saturn withholding something from you because you have a
• 8:37
  deeper faith and a deeper commitment and conviction to
• 8:41
  what Saturn promises in the long run, what Saturn promises?
• 8:44
  Would you prove what it is that you say you want and who it is
• 8:47
  that you say you are? All right, let's keep going.
• 8:50
  If you're somebody you want to know more about this Saturn,
• 8:53
  Neptune conjunction, Saturn cycles, there's so many
• 8:55
  resources linked for you below this episode, including our
• 8:58
  Saturn and Aries digital product.
• 9:00
  And like I said, you can check out previous episodes on the
• 9:03
  channel about the Saturn, Neptune transits and the
• 9:05
  building to this conjunction. And of course, that astrology
• 9:08
  podcast episode that I mentioned in the beginning.
• 9:10
  If you're somebody who wants a more thorough and deeper
• 9:13
  understanding of the collective mundane historical events
• 9:16
  relating to the cycle of Saturn, Neptune moving forward, we're
• 9:19
  going to get to Sunday, February 22nd, and this is such a
• 9:21
  beautiful day. We've got the Moon and Taurus
• 9:24
  ruled by Venus, and on this day Venus and Pisces is making that
• 9:28
  trine to Jupiter retrograde in Cancer at 15°.
• 9:31
  This is emotional abundance. This is when compassion
• 9:34
  compounds, when nurturing multiplies and we get to tap
• 9:38
  into a state of abundance in a relational way with the people
• 9:42
  that we care about. This is a day to really treat
• 9:44
  yourself and also treat the people that you care about with
• 9:47
  as many words of affirmation as you can.
• 9:50
  Remember when we talk about these planets that like to bring
• 9:52
  us good, the best way that we can tap into their potential of
• 9:56
  giving any of that to us is by being the energy that we seek.
• 10:00
  If we want more, give more. So how you treat yourself, what
• 10:04
  you invest in, who you invest in, who are you saying yes to
• 10:07
  right now? These decisions, these
• 10:08
  investments are going to pay off in the long run.
• 10:11
  This trying is here to resource and support us.
• 10:13
  It could open our hearts and stimulate our sense of awareness
• 10:17
  and connection and creativity. This is about getting into the
• 10:20
  present moment, being fully available to who's sitting right
• 10:24
  in front of you, and really dropping into a deeper state of
• 10:27
  listening and care. So if you don't already have
• 10:29
  plans to do something that is nurturing, that is caring, that
• 10:33
  is connected on Sunday the 22nd, this is a reminder to go ahead
• 10:37
  and make those plans, get those things scheduled so that you can
• 10:39
  really receive the most from this really special Chef's kiss
• 10:43
  suite of the astrology on Sunday.
• 10:45
  All right. And then the final major transit
• 10:47
  that we're going to cover in this week's astrology is going
• 10:49
  to be on Wednesday, February 25th.
• 10:51
  The moon's going to be entering into Cancer late on Wednesday
• 10:55
  night. And then around 11:00 PM
• 10:57
  standard Pacific California time, we're going to start
• 11:00
  officially our Mercury retrograde.
• 11:02
  Mercury is stationing retrograde at 22° of Pisces.
• 11:06
  Mercury is going to be retrograde from February 25th
• 11:09
  through March 20th. So all the way through this
• 11:12
  eclipse cycle and stationing direct, just two days after our
• 11:15
  next Pisces New Moon and the beginning of our next lunar
• 11:18
  cycle, Mercury is going to be covering the territory of 22 to
• 11:21
  8° of Pisces, which means that Mercury is going to be
• 11:24
  stationing direct on on March 20th at 8° of Pisces on the
• 11:29
  North Node. So Mercury is slowing down,
• 11:32
  which always heralds this invitation to get into a deeper
• 11:35
  state of slowing down, of listening, of bringing things to
• 11:39
  completion. So if there's been anything
• 11:41
  you've been going through and growing through this Mercury
• 11:44
  retrograde is a great time to set that time aside so that you
• 11:47
  can really process and fully integrate all the experiences,
• 11:50
  everything that's been happening.
• 11:51
  Mercury retrograde, in addition to it being in Pisces, this is
• 11:55
  some emotional healing, emotional awareness and healing
• 11:59
  understanding. This is like Mercury is giving
• 12:01
  us a chance to weave together our understanding so that we
• 12:05
  might be able to get this more cohesive perspective, weaving
• 12:09
  this understanding of what's been happening in these past few
• 12:12
  months and these major thresholds and to a greater
• 12:15
  wisdom that we can carry into the future.
• 12:18
  I love this Mercury retrograde as a time that can be highly
• 12:21
  creative, intuitive, and spiritual.
• 12:24
  If you're somebody who has any sort of spiritual practice or
• 12:26
  spiritual study, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, ruled by
• 12:29
  that Jupiter that's in Cancer. This is a great time to get into
• 12:32
  conversation with the spirit world, with our guides, with our
• 12:36
  ancestors, our angels, or maybe even starting, if you don't
• 12:40
  already, a practice for intuitive listening.
• 12:43
  So maybe it's starting to pull an Oracle card each day and just
• 12:46
  sitting with the feelings and the intuitions and nudges, the
• 12:48
  things that come up. Almost like when you have a
• 12:51
  crazy dream and you look and you listen to the symbolism of that
• 12:55
  dream, you can access so many more vantage points of what it
• 12:59
  is that you've been experiencing in the waking world.
• 13:01
  This is about tapping into that dream state.
• 13:03
  It's about tapping into more of the archetypal symbolic states
• 13:07
  of awareness. I was also getting this image
• 13:09
  for this Mercury retrograde as this opportunity.
• 13:12
  Almost like our awareness is the surface of a body of water, and
• 13:16
  this mercury retrograde is an opportunity for all of the mud
• 13:19
  that might be on the surface of this water so that it makes it
• 13:22
  difficult to see through. Or maybe there's been some
• 13:24
  turbulence in our emotional bodies and our personal
• 13:27
  experiences with all these things going on.
• 13:30
  And now this Mercury retrograde is allowing us to come into this
• 13:34
  contemplative state of trust and stillness so that all of that
• 13:38
  mud, all of that confusion and chaos can begin to settle down
• 13:43
  and the water can start to become still and clear.
• 13:46
  So our awareness is actually expanding through this quality
• 13:49
  of spaciousness and depth. We're dropping deeper into our
• 13:53
  sense of understanding. Also, the rain is going off
• 13:57
  right now. I don't know.
• 13:58
  You can hear that in the background, but it's so
• 14:01
  beautiful. And that's also so perfect
• 14:03
  because on days like today in Southern California, we hardly
• 14:07
  ever get rain like this. And it's such a beautiful
• 14:09
  invitation to just stay inside, to listen to the sound of the
• 14:13
  water and the rain cleansing the earth, washing down the windows
• 14:18
  and to just let yourself stay and rest inside.
• 14:22
  To step away from the busy, the hustle, the to do's.
• 14:25
  This could not be a more perfect Mercury retrograde metaphor for
• 14:29
  what we have an invitation to do during this cycle.
• 14:32
  And of course, we're going to go more into what this Mercury
• 14:34
  retrograde as we go week by week and we get into the transits and
• 14:37
  Mercury is going to be having. So just know that if something
• 14:40
  feels messy, let the mess be creative.
• 14:43
  If something feels confusing, let the confusion become
• 14:47
  curiosity and maybe more of this spiritual contemplation.
• 14:51
  What would it be like to live with the questions that live
• 14:54
  inside of our confusion? What would it be like to settle
• 14:58
  into more trust and any places of current unknown?
• 15:02
  To drop the need to know, the need to punctuate or define and
• 15:06
  to let things reveal themselves to us, reveal themselves with
• 15:10
  time. And I would assume when we get
• 15:12
  to this full circle moment when we have the Mercury, Kazemi and
• 15:15
  Virgo. When Mercury is direct, right on
• 15:18
  the cusp of our next eclipse cycle in the fall of 2026, I
• 15:22
  guarantee if the picture on the canvas of your life and
• 15:25
  understanding feels messy and all over the place, like you
• 15:28
  have no idea how this is going to become a beautiful piece of
• 15:31
  art. Give yourself, give Mercury,
• 15:34
  give this astrology until fall of 2026 and imagine there's a
• 15:38
  masterpiece that's going to be revealed.
• 15:40
  It's going to come full circle. Then we can punctuate.
• 15:43
  Then we can define. Right now, though, color outside
• 15:46
  the lines, live with the question and stay open.
• 15:49
  Stay curious. All right, everybody, if you
• 15:50
  haven't already, by the way and you're still here, please help a
• 15:53
  girl out. Hit that like button, maybe even
• 15:55
  hit the hype button. I'm still figuring all the
• 15:57
  things out, but I really appreciate all of you being here
• 16:00
  helping the channel, supporting the channel.
• 16:02
  If you aren't subscribed, it also helps the channel a lot
• 16:04
  Subscribe to the channel if you like any of this content, any of
• 16:07
  these videos. I really appreciate your
• 16:09
  support. I appreciate you being here and
• 16:11
  I of course, always love hearing from you guys in the comments.
• 16:14
  Any of your experiences of how you're experiencing this once
• 16:17
  and any lifetimes astrology that we've never lived through and
• 16:21
  we're all living through together in this moment?
• 16:23
  It's messy, it's confusing. Are you feeling like the tides
• 16:27
  of the eclipses and the Saturn, Neptune conjunction have you in
• 16:30
  a riptide of rolling through the waves?
• 16:31
  Or maybe you feel like you're already standing at that new
• 16:33
  shore in a totally clear and ready way.
• 16:37
  Comment below, let me know. And of course, in next week's
• 16:40
  episode, it's when we're going to get to our horoscope episode
• 16:42
  for the full moon. And this is a total lunar
• 16:45
  eclipse in Virgo. And I'm going to weave in to the
• 16:48
  horoscopes and the card reading more about this eclipse cycle
• 16:51
  and the correlation to previous eclipse cycles.
• 16:53
  There's something very specific and nuanced about the fact that
• 16:57
  we have an Aquarius New moon eclipse and then a Virgo full
• 17:01
  Moon eclipse. These are not sister signs.
• 17:03
  These are two separate eclipse cycles that are starting to have
• 17:06
  this crossover effect, and this has happened previously in our
• 17:09
  lives. So I will mention those dates
• 17:11
  and tie those things together, give you things to reflect and
• 17:15
  think about and your own personal timeline and where that
• 17:18
  brings you and what that might mean for you for this threshold
• 17:21
  of these eclipses. So make sure, turn those
• 17:23
  notifications on, get subscribed to the channel so that you don't
• 17:26
  miss those rising sign horoscopes and card readings
• 17:28
  that's going to come out next week.
• 17:30
  I appreciate all of you so much. I'm wishing everybody a
• 17:32
  beautiful, wonderful week. May we all stay tethered to the
• 17:35
  heart of what matters in the moment.
• 17:37
  When there's so much unknown. Instead of getting scared, a
• 17:40
  worry is a wish. You don't want to happen.
• 17:42
  Let's get creative. Let's get curious.
• 17:44
  Let's get connected. All right, everybody, thank you
• 17:47
  so much. I will see you next week.
