Saturn in Aries: Make the Cut


Dear Reader,

Saturn entered Aries on February 13.

Neptune arrived two weeks ago. It is still holding infinite possibility.

But the energy has shifted.

When Neptune crossed into Aries, the invitation was expansive: imagine without compromise. Let yourself want what you actually want. Let possibility expand. Be playful, be audacious, even be silly!

Now Saturn stands beside those dreams and asks: Which one are you willing to build?

In Hesiod's Theogony, Kronos (Saturn) makes a decisive cut that frees life from confinement. From that cut, life differentiates. From Neptune’s sea, love itself rises.

Creation required a cut.

Saturn in Aries does not end the dream. It forces a choice within it.

Saturn is the chisel that cuts dreams into reality. It removes what blocks the form. Each strike narrows possibility so something specific can emerge.

Saturn is commitment.

So the question becomes: What are you ready to stop doing?

  • over-preparing instead of launching?
  • staying small to stay liked?
  • avoiding difficult conversations?
  • calling distraction “research”?
  • keeping backup plans so nothing is fully risked?

Neptune whispers: Everything is possible.

Saturn responds: Choose.

For me, this season means cutting perfection before publishing. Choosing to share my work rather than hiding in quiet competence. I can refine forever. Saturn in Aries is asking me to let the work live — even if it isn’t airtight.

I meant to send this with a video. It’s not ready. This is my cut — sharing anyway.

We are days away from the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries — the first degree of the zodiac. A threshold.

Stay in the dream.

But choose.


Here's where it gets real for you (if you choose):

  • If only one area of your life could genuinely move forward this year, which would most change your future?
  • What behavior must stop for that to happen?
  • What is one concrete action you will take this week that reflects that choice?

Hit Reply and tell me: What are you committing to — and what are you cutting?

Warmly,
Meghna

Hi Reader, Neptune in Aries is the birth of a new vision. To invoke its energies, here's a practice inspired by Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, sequel to Alice in Wonderland... both written the last time Neptune was in Aries. It's when Alice says to the White Queen, “There’s no use trying… one can’t believe impossible things.” And the Queen replies, “I daresay you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age, I did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many...

Dear Reader, On January 26, 2026, Neptune entered Aries for the first time in over 150 years, marking a transition from dreaming to doing—but not the kind of doing that comes from pressure or force. It signals a move into making our ideals reality. Which means, it is important to know what our ideals are. Neptune in Aries asks:What does the wisest, most loving part of you want for you, going forward? This isn’t about hustling or having a perfect plan.It’s about learning how action emerges...
