We are more than due for an editorial, it’s been a while. I usually do these inside my monthly predictions, but this time I have so much to discuss, that I think it deserves a standalone post. This text is, in a way, a continuation and review of my 2026 Predictions published last December, as well as some new insights.
On Astrology Itself
Astrology is in a bad moment.
Saturn in Pisces transit:
29/03/2025 until 02/06/2027
19/10/2027 until 23/02/2028
Saturn always puts a damp on whichever sign it touches. Pisces rules spirituality, imagination, meditation, other worlds and this openness to the unusual. Naturally, astrology has taken a downturn, along with religion and similar subjects. I notice this from my own enthusiasm, as well as the repercussion of astrology in general with others.
As with any transit, it shall pass. And we will see an improvement in these Pisces subjects, specially in 2028.
As a side-note, I can already smell someone reading this and nodding negatively, “Aquarius is the sign of astrology, not Pisces“. Kinda. Maybe. It Depends. Not really.
Aquarius deals mostly with the scientific method, the pursuit, practice and usage of astrology. All important things. But Pisces shows the actual enjoyment, dealing with the absorption of spiritual knowledge or openness to hearing it.
In a way, Aquarius deals mostly with the astrologers themselves, while Pisces deals with the complete process. The astrologer, the person getting advice, and the exchange between them.
Looking back, I’d say that 2023-2024, with Saturn in Aquarius was the height of low quality astrology. People complain about AI slop, but human slop is unsurmountable. I remember getting sent TikTok and Instagram astrology content, around that time, and it was all utter junk. Stuff made for clicks, based on nothing but the fact that those people needed to create some content for their profiles.
Why was that? Saturn restricts. Aquarius is the scientific method or proper practice. The birth of slop! Similarly, as Saturn in Pisces reduced the profitability of this, many of these profiles have moved on into other projects or the next big thing. Saturn in Aquarius made it harder to practice and make it, Saturn in Pisces makes it harder to profit from it.
Le monde aujourd’hui: The World
Obviously, we have a few wars going on. The ongoing Ukraine War, as well as the new Iran War.
Starting from the already discussed Saturn, we move into a new sign, Aries. On one hand, Saturn tends to restrict. On the other hand, Saturn is debilitated in Aries, which can create the opposite effect of excesses in regards to Aries subjects.
Looking back at the last Saturn in Aries transit, around 1998-2000, we had some notable conflict like the Kosovo War. The years after the transit saw more wars, and more notable wars, like Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.
Through that, I’d say that we are likely to see more conflict in the coming years, specially in 2028. I believe it will be something new, not necessarily the two mentioned in the beginning.
But on them, and more into the present, next month we have the second round of Eclipses for 2026. A Solar Eclipse on the 12th of August, and a Lunar Eclipse on the 28th.
Eclipses are big triggers for world affairs. A recent example was last September, after the Lunar Eclipse on the 7th we were all shocked with the Charlie Kirk assassination.
For next month, the Solar Eclipse will happen Ashlesha a star that deals a lot with trickery and deceit. That eclipse will also happen with a trine to Saturn. A traumatizing event can come out of this influence, in my view.
The next Lunar Eclipse, later in the month, will happen at 10° Aquarius. Remember how I mentioned in my July Predictions about the importance of these 10° right now? Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all transiting around those degrees in their respective signs now; forming an alignment.
During the Lunar Eclipse, Pluto and Neptune will both be around 9°, while Uranus will be at 11°. Not exactly 10°, but still very close. Uranus sits in Taurus, so it will be in the mid-point between the Sun and the Moon during the Lunar Eclipse.
As Uranus deals with changing and uprooting, this Lunar Eclipse can be an important trigger. Themes of isolation, disease and healing will be prominent under this influence. There is a strong outcast or outsider energy being promoted. Unusual results, or unusual change, can arise around this Lunar Eclipse.
Trump
For a key figure in all of this, Trump, things are a mixed bag. First of all the Ketu transit in Leo is hard, with him being a Leo ascendant. Ketu in the 1st promotes a downturn in life, specially in regards to public image and perception. For Leos, specially, Ketu is a very complicated transit; as it gets in the way of the bluster and personality associated with them.
Ketu entered Leo on May 18th 2025, and it will transit there until December 5th 2026. For Trump, there was a clear downturn for him when this transit started, specially in June 2025. Broken promises and a broken base all led to major issues starting around then.
The coming Lunar Eclipse, at 10° Aquarius, will affect his 6° Leo ascendant. So a major development can happen in the coming weeks/months.
Still, there is a mixed bag, with some upturns for him in the longer term. Jupiter will enter Leo on Halloween (Oct 31st), staying there until January 24th next year. Jupiter brings luck, good fortune and general upturns in the 1st house. Similarly, as noted above, the negative Ketu transit will end in early December.
So you remove one negative and you add a positive, this tends to show some upturns for him around the coming December-January period.
Mars and Venus
On September 18th, Mars will enter Cancer. This is the sign of debilitation for Mars, promoting a weak behavior for the planet. This can deal with pointless aggression, conflict or misguided actions. Mars will stay in the sign until around November 12th.
On October 3rd, Venus will go retrograde. This is a fairly rare transit, with Venus being the planet that retrogrades the least. Venus will go direct on November 13th. Venus retrograde tends to promote disagreements, trouble establishing rapport or common ground. It can also bode some economic downturns or bad trends in the speculative markets.
The interesting point here is the combo, of both happening simultaneously, between October 3rd and November 12th. That’s an entire month.
With that in mind, October can be a rather chaotic month of conflicts, fights and disagreements. Blustering and exaggeration will be prominent, and causing trouble. Some economic issues could be highlighted around the time as well.
Conclusion and the big picture
The world is in an odd place right now, as we have the outer planets prominent, specially Neptune which is the planet of confusion on his own. This triad of Uranus-Neptune and Pluto promotes a lot of volatility, change and odd developments. Mundane, it can be a time of surprises and weird shifts.
On a personal level, we finally get the courage to make some important changes and decision. We can take unusual detours, new directions and feel a rebirth of sorts. It is a great moment to learn and grow.
For astrology, this is a dork age. Saturn in Pisces puts a damp on things well into the coming two years. It remains a valuable guide and endeavor, but the recognition, popularity and enthusiasm will be lacking in the near future.
And for me? I will keep writing this stuff. Maybe less than before. Maybe slower than before. Maybe later than usual. But I will keep writing it.
