Mercury sextile Saturn and trine Uranus.
The Sun sextile Neptune

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Capricorn. The Sun enters Aquarius tomorrow.
The Sun, Mercury and Mars are trine Uranus and sextile Saturn and Neptune for 5 days.
There is 'astrological stuff' going off every day this week. Lots of jumps, bumps and changes.
02.03 The infant Moon accelerating at 2 Aquarius conjunction Venus.
04.10 Morning star Mercury at 27 Capricorn waning sextile Saturn at 27 Pisces
04.36 The Moon conjunction Pluto at 3 Aquarius
05.38 Mercury at 28 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 28 Taurus
07.48 Jupiter at 19 Cancer waxing septile Uranus at 28 Taurus This is the 2nd of 3 hits of this aspect- dates 30th Sept 2025, 18th Jan 2026 and 27th May 2026. This aspect corresponds to a unique energetic flow associated with spiritual sensitivity, inner awareness, and a 'hidden' potential bringing about sudden, positive changes. The aspect signifies a period of leaking unconscious content into consciousness, fostering innovation, a shift in philosophy, and the emergence of unusual ideas.
These two planets working together always expand the mind.
21.55 The Sun at 30 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 30 Pisces
The Sun today is at 29 degrees Capricorn. Mercury,and Mars are also in Capricorn. Venus and Pluto are in Aquarius. We are approaching the end of the recent haul of Capricorn energy. Venus moved into Aquarius on Jan 17th, Mercury and the Sun will have followed suit by the 20th, and Mars follows into Aquarius, 3 days later. By Jan 23rd we will have 5 bodies in Aquarius and a vastly different 'feel' to proceedings.With the passing of yesterday's New Moon we have entered a new eclipse season with an Annular Solar Eclipse on Feb 17th and a Total Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd.
Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. Their unconsummated 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, was closest on July 14th and is exactly conjunct on Feb 20th 2026. Currently the pair are in Pisces, revisiting old issues. Saturn and Neptune are direct in motion, the aspect is tightening. There are 74 days to the Vernal equinox.
Jupiter and Uranus are the only planets currently retrograde.
MERCURY
Mercury entered Capricorn as a morning star on Jan 1st joining the Sun, Venus and Mars in this sign. He whizzes through this sign with effortless practicality in just 19 days. Mercury opposes Jupiter on Jan 14th. Mercury sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus today, measured futures. Mercury sextiles Neptune, sparkle and enchantment, and then enters Aquarius on Jan 20th. Get your facts correct with this residence. Pragmatic but rapid developments are likely.
Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 2 Aquarius on Jan 21st, and is conjunct Pluto the very next day. Three days after the return of Neptune to Aries, on Jan 26th 2026, Mercury is conjunct Venus at 15 degrees Aquarius on Jan 29th. Mercury turns retrograde on Feb 26th 2026 at 22 Pisces, falling into Venus' arms again 2 days later..
Mercury retrograde periods ahead.
Feb 26 to Mar 20, 2026
Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026
Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026
Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027

VENUS
Venus entered Aquarius on Jan 17th.
Her next retrograde phase is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra.
MARS
Mars enters Capricorn on Dec 15th. Mars ploughs through this sign in a 'bulldozing' 39 days.
Mars trines Neptune on Jan 23rd, song of the ages. Mars enters Aquarius less than 3 hours later on that same day..
Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo.
JUPITER
Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. He is now retrograde (from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now.
SATURN
Saturn is direct and has been in Pisces from Sept 1st. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed.
URANUS
Uranus is now retrograde and back in Taurus. He first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. Uranus's initial residence in this sign was from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. Uranus turns direct in Taurus on Feb 3rd 2026 and re-enters Gemini on April 25th 2026.
He returns to Gemini a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032.
NEPTUNE
Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025 but is now back in Pisces and moving direct again. Neptune will re-enter Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039.
PLUTO
Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043.
Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798.

THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.
The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (very early 2026) well past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.
