A Look Ahead to the Astrology of 2026

A Panel Discussion on the Major Transits Shaping the Year Ahead

The astrology of 2026 is anything but subtle.

We are standing at a powerful threshold — one marked by rare planetary alignments, long-term outer planet shifts, and eclipse cycles that signal profound endings and bold new beginnings. These transits aren’t just personal; they’re collective, reshaping systems, identities, technology, communication, and our shared vision of the future.

To open the year, the San Diego Astrological Society invites you to a special panel event bringing together four astrologers to explore the major transits defining 2026 and the decades ahead.

Whether you’re an astrology student, practitioner, or simply feeling the intensity of the times, this evening offers context, clarity, and perspective for navigating what’s unfolding.

Featured Panelists & Topics

Mel Lafara Saturn Conjunct Neptune: Reality on the Threshold of a New Era

In 2026, Saturn and Neptune meet at the 0° Aries world point — one of the most potent collective resets of our lifetime. This rare conjunction dissolves outdated structures while demanding new ones, opening a liminal space where systems are reimagined and spiritual paths realign. Mel will explore what this conjunction means on both a personal and collective level, and how to consciously step into the inception of this new 36-year cycle.

Tany Toyen

Uranus in Gemini

Uranus returns to Gemini on April 25, 2026, beginning a roughly seven-year period of revolution in communication, technology, learning, and information exchange. As part of Uranus’s 84-year cycle, this transit radically reshapes how we think, connect, and share ideas. Tany will unpack what to expect as this fast-moving, electrifying energy rewires our mental and social landscapes.

Anita Carter Eclipses: Closing the Virgo/Pisces Axis & Opening Leo/Aquarius

Eclipses mark turning points — endings that clear space for new chapters to begin. As we complete the Virgo/Pisces eclipse cycle and step into the Leo/Aquarius axis, the focus shifts from healing and surrender to creativity, leadership, and collective identity. Anita will explore what these eclipse transitions signal and how they may unfold in both personal and global narratives.

Jake Santora Pluto Transiting Aquarius Through 2043

Pluto’s long journey through Aquarius is redefining power, technology, community, and the future of humanity itself. Extending through 2043, this transit challenges outdated hierarchies and amplifies collective movements, innovation, and radical social change. Jake will offer insight into the deeper themes of this era-defining transit and what it asks of us moving forward.
