Close Encounter

Orbs Matter

On July 15th, 2025, Saturn moves tantalisingly close to Neptune, but it doesn’t quite make the conjunction. At this point, the orb between the pair squeaks in at 0°12′. Afterwards Saturn, moving retrograde, quickly moves away from Neptune thus widening the orb.

Synodic Chart

Cycle Beginning

Synodic cycles begin when any two planets conjoin. For example, every month when the Moon comes round to the Sun, we get the Moon / Sun new synodic cycle starting. When the superior planets conjoin each other, it carries more weight globally and historically because they have far longer cycles, which is quite interesting as well. The synodic cycle between Saturn and Neptune is typically around 36 years.

Calculation

I have cast the synodic chart for the exact moment that Saturn conjoins Neptune in February 2026. We can have a look at the main features of this chart to see some themes which we can anticipate unfolding as Saturn conjoins Neptune.

Neutral Aspects

Saturn conjoined Neptune at 0° 45′ AriesAlso note they have the aspect of declination of the parallel, so this is a double-whammy conjunction.

Soft Aspects

Interestingly enough, with the conjunction between Saturn and Neptune there are only soft Ptolemaic aspects. The two easy aspects are a sextile Uranus and a sextile Pluto. Additionally, the chart does contain a mini-grand trine between Uranus trine Pluto and the Saturn Neptune conjunction.

Hard Aspects

There are no hard aspects to the Saturn Neptune conjunction.

Minor Aspects

I would also note that there is a minor aspect, a semi-sextile, from the Saturn Neptune conjunction to the Sun. This may or may not have some influence on this cycle.
