The sun went into Aquarius on or about January 19, 2026, locally. See our articles https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-aquarius-2026 for more details.
When we
look at aspects to the Sun, we usually look at the outer planets because they
have a profound long-lasting influence due to their slow movement unlike the fast-moving
inner planets. Pluto and Neptune, for
example, can have an influence up to and including 3 years as they approach and
leave the orb of influence. The orb of influence is about 3° approaching and 2°
separating. Those that are highly
attuned to these planetary energies can feel the effects much longer, sometimes
lasting 5 years or more in total.
Transiting
Pluto is in the early stages of Aquarius, and in 2026 will only move as far as
4° Aquarius.
Transiting Neptune
is in the early degrees of Aries and will only reach 4° of Aries during 2026.
Transiting Uranus
is in the late degrees of Taurus but will reach Gemini and remain in Gemini
from April 26, 2026 forward. Uranus
takes approximately 7 years to move through a sign.
Transiting Saturn
can also affect the Sun, and it moves into Aries and conjoins Neptune in
February/March, 2026 and will move as far as 8° Aries by the end of 2026. Saturn takes about 2 ½ years to move through
a sign.
Since we
try to keep our posts relatively short, we will only touch on the effects of
Pluto and Uranus on the Aquarius Sun. To
be affected by these planets, your Aquarius Sun would need to be in the early
degrees of Aquarius, allowing for each orb of influence. It should be mentioned that all of the outer
planets are in favorable placements. Uranus is making a Trine, Saturn and Neptune are
making a Sextile and Pluto is making a Conjunction which is the most powerful
of major aspects. The Conjunction can be a challenging aspect, but much will
depend on what the potential is as suggested in the natal chart.
The Sun is
the core of our identity. The sign
placement and house placement define who we are and our purpose in life, at
least in part. The Sun helps us define our life’s purpose and creative life
force and is linked to our vitality. It
is the driving force behind our personality linked with the Ascendant. The sun sign is self-directed. The Sun has to do with our goals in life, and
our purpose as mentioned which is also tied closely with our Moon’s Nodes. With
this in mind, let’s proceed.
Pluto which
is Conjunct those with their Sun in the early degrees of Aquarius is a powerful
planet connected to transformation and regeneration. It holds significant energy in its
expression. Pluto often works beneath
the surface and brings things to life that are long overdue. There is usually a period of deep reflection,
and the shedding of unwanted and unnecessary elements. It breaks down
structures that have taken hold in our lives, which now hinder our evolutionary
growth. Pluto insists on change where
change is a requirement. Letting go and
allowing yourself to remain open to the eventual change is the best route to
follow.
When the
Sun and Pluto meet up especially with the Conjunction, you can expect a time of
self-reflection, a change of life’s direction, goals being set that can make a
difference in our evolutionary quest and an awareness that opens doors that
might otherwise have been closed. This
aspect will likely be the most powerful of the above-mentioned transits as the
Conjunction merges planets together and is extremely relevant in our lives.
Transiting
Uranus has to do with revolution and sudden/or drastic change. It can cause havoc in our lives when in
transit. However, the Trine indicates
easy flow and opportunities which often fall into our lap especially if we also
push towards whatever Uranus is insisting on.
It is known as the awakener, and its influence is a huge factor in
making necessary changes in our lives.
Pluto and
Uranus often work together, fostering change that is crucial to our
development. Uranus pushes hard to
liberate us from anything that could be considered outdated tradition or
restrictive in nature. It creates a
desire for the new and unique and often produces this in unexpected and rather
unconventional ways. Uranus governs
universal truths and intuition and opens doors in a unique manner to translate
these truths. Uranus is very much
attuned to the brotherhood of mankind and is linked to mental processing. It suggests that we come out into the open
and express our uniqueness.
It will be
important to look at the house placement of your Sun, as the natural ruler of
this house plays an important part of your Sun Sign (for example Sun in second
house, Taurus natural ruler, or Sun the third house, Gemini natural ruler and
so forth). Look also at where the
transits mentioned (Uranus and Pluto) reside in your chart during this period and
also at the natal potential between these planetary positions in the birth
chart.
The Sun in
Aquarius aspects 2026 suggest going inward to complete a self-examination so
that transformation and change can liberate the Aquarian from old, outdated
ways. Be unique and open to the process!
