Neptune in Aries
This week ushers us into one of the most significant astrological transits of the year with the movement of Neptune into Aries on January 26, 2026. Our outermost planets, including Neptune, move slowly. Whereas inner planets dance through a sign in just a few weeks, Neptune spends more than a decade in each sign. When it enters our first sign of the zodiac, it begins not only a new 12-year chapter, but a new 165-year chapter transiting anew through the zodiac.
As the sign of identity, selfhood, desire, and courageous movement influences the planet of oneness, personal identity blurs. We are able to remember who we are beyond our limited self-definitions. We may find ourselves oscillating between the ends of the spectrum, where personal preference streams through us as sacred purpose and identity is no longer ruled by control, expectation, or projection.
Throughout this new chapter, we are reorienting our relationship with action, desire, spirituality, and identity. Although the effects will seem subtle to our senses on the actual day, its influence will be encompassing, lasting, and evolutionary as its story unfolds. Lasting 12 years, it is a transit that will take us all the way into 2038. Welcome to a new collective chapter.
Mars Conjunct Pluto
The most recent movement of Pluto, another outer planet, was its entry into Aquarius in 2024. Since then, it has taken only a few steps forward. That means whenever a planet enters Aquarius, it passesby Pluto before continuing and traversing the realm of Aquarius. Last week, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun passed through this Plutonic gateway. This week, Mars follows, conjuncting Pluto on January 27, 2026.
Whereas Mars is expression, movement, passion, and courage, Pluto is depth, power, truth, and transformation. Together, they spark a threshold moment—potent, alive, and profound.
During this time, anything that has been waiting within our depths to fall away finally becomes ready. Goals that no longer feel aligned reconfigure. Patterns that were disempowering meet truth. Expectations and projections are unable to continue. It is a psychologically and emotionally catalytic and empowering day to explore the aspects of you that help you find strength in surrender and shape your future through your inner decisions.
Mars Conjunct Venus
After moving through the threshold of Pluto, Mars then meets Venus in Aquarius in a conjunction on January 29, 2026.
Mars is motivation, passion, movement, and will. Venus is self-worth, pleasure, magnetism, and connection. After Mars moves through its conjunction with Pluto, where what cannot continue does not continue, it meets Venus and is reawakened. What is true, resonant, and worth moving toward begins revealing itself through the space created. Listen as your values and motivations begin to speak.
The conjunction invites us to choose freedom over familiarity, authenticity over approval, and alignment over comfort. It asks us to embody our worth, claim our creativity, and stand in our truth. It also ushers us into what we are ready to build next as we redefine relationships, explore new paths, and liberate self-expression.

Gemini Rising
It’s a week that wants to help you clear out old ways of perceiving, believing, and connecting to the meaning of life.
