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.
Today, we are going to take a quick look at the transit of planets that will aspect the Sun in Aquarius in 2026, a mini forecast for Aquarius, if you will.
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!
