On February 20th, 2026, Saturn conjuncts Neptune at 0° Aries.
Undoubtedly, this is one of the most important transits of our lifetime – and we don’t need to know astrology to note that the world is changing in ways we’ve never seen before.
Contradictory narratives, confusion about what to trust, and a feeling that the ground keeps shifting under our feet are all signs of a deeper shift – the slow collapse of old stories, and the necessary space that opens for new ones to form.
Why is Saturn Conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries so special?
A Saturn–Neptune conjunction is important in itself, because these two planets meet only once every 36 years, initiating a new cycle in which collective ideals, visions, and myths (Neptune) are translated into structures, systems, and lived reality (Saturn). Each cycle rewrites the rules our societies live by.
But what makes this particular conjunction so special is that it occurs at 0° Aries – the navel of the zodiac.
The Zero degree is the threshold between 360 degrees of accumulated experience and something entirely new.
Astronomically, 0° Aries marks the point where the ecliptic crosses the celestial equator. When the Sun reaches this point, day and night are equal everywhere on Earth. And it’s at this moment of perfect balance between day and night, Yang and Win, that creation emerges.
Ancient cultures were very much aware of the energetic significance of equinoxes.
Stonehenge, along with equinox and solstice temples around the world, stands as proof of just how important this threshold point has been across civilizations.
From an astrological perspective, when 2 slow-moving planets – Saturn and Neptune, the architects of collective reality – align at this navel point, the field is reset, the slate is wiped clean, and the system becomes receptive to entirely new possibilities.
0° Aries is different from 2° Aries, 16° Aries, or 24° Taurus – or any other of the 359 degrees of the zodiac – because once we move beyond Zero, we are already operating within an existing story.
Zero Aries means there is no story. That’s where we create it.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries – Genesis
What will emerge at this point is not something we can predict or control, and no one holds authority over the Zero. Zero is a cosmic egg of pure potential, prior to form.
That’s why what matters now is not “watching the news.” The stories will continue to shift, and looking outward for certainty is not the point anyway.
What matters is witnessing the moment itself – this crossing of the threshold – being present, attentive, and allowing what is ready to emerge to do so.
This threshold crossing happens only once. Zero Aries is a fleeting moment in time – and we want to be there to witness it.
Witnessing follows the same principle as meditation: the goal is not to change anything or to achieve a particular state, but simply to be present – receptive to what enters awareness when we stop imposing meaning.
Genesis is Astro Butterfly’s 2-day live event (February 20–21) created to hold space for this rare threshold crossing.
There is real power in showing up, in being present together, and in allowing the energy of new beginnings to meet us without the filters of old narratives.
On Day 1 (February 20), ‘The Hatching of the Cosmic Egg‘, we explore the collective dimension of this transit – the larger cycle that is beginning and the themes being seeded at a global and archetypal level.
In Day 2 (February 21st) ‘A New Personal Myth‘ we rewrite our personal narrative, updating the story we’ve been living by so it reflects who we are today.
At Zero Aries, we have a unique chance to bathe in the energy of beginnings and press the reset button.
