The Cosmic Speed of Change: What’s Next in our World?
Last year, Lynn Bell and Caroline Myss did a class describing an exceptional time of celestial or planetary activity. Specifically, all the slow-moving planets (Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus) entered new signs and elements within months of each other. And now this cosmic change is about to happen again and will be active and influential for the next seven years. Such remarkable cosmic activity is a rare astrological event. As Lynn noted last year, these anticipated planetary changes held the possibilities of shifting the familiar landscape of our world, including the boundaries of nations and the structure of global organizations, even the democratic government of the United States.
We are now living within the energy fields of those exact anticipated changes, as we experience a shifting of everything from the shattering of rules that for centuries governed American democracy to the weakening of peace-keeping organizations, specifically NATO and a shift in the global power structures. Everything in our lives – personally and globally – will be impacted by the planetary aspects aligning over our heads. We are, to put it simply, rapidly moving at cosmic speed into a new world order. How will these changes reverberate in our own lives?
Because of the astounding correlations between the planetary movements and the events we are now experiencing, Lynn and Caroline thought it essential to deepen our dive into the even more significant planetary influences for 2026. These invisible currents run through our lives and the collective atmosphere, animating evolutionary as well as personal ones.

Saturn partners with Neptune: Threshold of the New World
The coming together of two powerful planets at the very first degree of the zodiac signals the beginning of an entirely new era for humanity. Saturn represents the rules and laws of our lives and society. Saturn is also in charge of the accumulated weight of history, the on-going influence of the past as it energetically influences our present moment. Neptune, named for the god of the sea, is associated with loosening connections and structures, washing away what is no longer necessary in our lives. The orbits of these two planets come together in a 35-36 year cycle or what is known as a “dialogue”. As an example of the type of power punch that these two planets contain, the last time these Saturn and Neptune united in 1989, the energy generated by their conjunction washed away the Berlin Wall and with it, the vestiges Cold War. Saturn and Neptune will unite on February 20th in the first degree of Aries, the very beginning degree of the entire zodiac. This conjunction at the first degree of Aries has not happened in 6,000 years. That fact alone should take our breath away. Aries is a martial sign: impetuous, impulsive and action oriented. We can anticipate that this conjunction in Aries will burn through the boundaries of our familiar world. Saturn and Neptune always change boundaries, planetary and personal.
What You Will Learn:
- How will this conjunction be expressed in your personal life and in the world around you?
- Can the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune spark global changes in harmony with human transformation?

The Martial Nature of the Soul: Our Bond with Mars
James Hillman wrote that as human beings, our soul contains a “martial impulse.” We are “warring” creatures by design, an instinct that has been refined by our fundamental need to survive. And yet, we do not have to be on a battlefield to go to war. Anxiety, aggression, the shadow side of competition, and greed are just a few of our “Mars” emotions, all of them capable of activating the inner fire of rage. At the same time, Mars can inspire people to dare to follow an ideal, or to embark on something utterly new without precedent. Lynn has keen insight into Mars and its power to move us forward, or pull us apart.
In Astrology signs correspond energetically to particular planets. Aries resonates with Mars, for example. And during 2026, Mars will be especially potent given its connection to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. An expression of Mars power is that it will be positioned as the linchpin of a massive seven planet gathering in Aries on the 16th and 17th of April.
What You Will Learn:
- Why we need to pay attention to our Mars energy
- Internal and external wars

Imagine the Unimaginable
“I could never imagine this happening.” How many of us have said these words in 2025 – and now 2026? Whether it’s the rise of the ICE army in the streets of our communities or the continued dismantling of our constitutional rights, the breakdown of international alliances, or conversely, discovering the remarkable creative capacities of AI, we are on unfamiliar ground. We are living in the age of the unimaginable. In April, seven planets will be in Aries for the first time in 200 years – a celestial gathering of planetary energy within the first fire sign of the zodiac. These massive gatherings of planets are rare. Seven planets came together in 1962 in Aquarius, an air sign associated with expanding human consciousness, and that stellium gave the first impulse for the 1960’s social revolution. Seven planets came together in Capricorn in 1994, a sign associated with practical ambition and individual and earthly achievement. Capricorn builds the underlying structures of our world. 1994 is referred to as the, “Year of the Web”, when a sufficient number of technically creative people gave the world the ultimate communications network.
Once again, we will experience the presence of seven planets in one sign, Aries, an extraordinarily rare astrological event. Aries initiates dynamic forces of exceptional creativity. This energy runs the gamut from inspiring wildly individualistic choices to extreme outburst of anger. Our world is suffering from the stress of chaos brought about by the few determined to control the many. It may be that individuals will be inspired to flood the collective with new ideas and hope, offering humanity “unimaginable” options for our future.
What You Will Learn:
- Opening Your Imagination to endless possibilities
- The power you have to do the impossible
- How to ground ourselves when things get too “fiery”.

A Perfect Prism
In July, the four outer planets will each be at 4 degrees of their new signs. They will make a series of perfect geometrical aspects. Lynn refers to this as a perfect prism, a moment where we are able access unknown gifts. It is the rarest of rare lineups that may well represent a shift of galactic proportions. It organizes energy and power along a new grid. Like all cosmic energies it may depend on whose hands hold the prism. New discoveries about the power of human consciousness and the nature of the soul will our in. One new truth downloaded at exactly the right time can redirect all of humanity in the blink of an eye. As the year unfolds two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will move forward to enhance the emerging fire energy.
What You Will Learn:
- You were born to be alive now, at this time of global transformation. How do you see your role?
- Becoming “mystically conscious” through recognizing the inner authority of your intuitive nature.
- How to you “attune” to all these new energetic patterns?
