The dual theme of the Gemini New Moon is information and communication. The KAIROS EFFECT is Mercury/Uranus trine Pluto in Aquarius. This is a brilliant time to start a new project putting a new face (Venus in Aries!) forward reflecting the renaissance ushering in the Aquarian Age archetypes.
SATURN AT THE ARIES POINT
Saturn entered Aries on Saturday night. Traveling with Neptune (1°♈️) delivers a taste of the global cultural rebirth erupting from the crashing quantum wave; the conjunction is exact on the Aries Point (AP) of New Beginnings on February 20, 2026 overhead in Washington, D.C.
Saturn/Neptune is known as the architect’s aspect. A delightful synchronicity popping up on my screen was a gem of a indie film, John Parker’s The Architect, starring Parker Posey and James Frain.
This indie gem reveals the opposing qualities of technical skill and structure (Saturn) with imagination/inspiration (Neptune) to become an outstanding architect. The architect creates structures for human needs as well as desires; when the Saturn/Neptune qualities aren’t in equilibrium, creation risks destruction. The film dramatizes the precarious tension between these opposites.
Eros as a force of both creation and destruction is a renewed (Aries!) dynamic in creative expression awaiting the 2028 eclipses in Aquarius/Leo…so GET READY!
VENUS RENAISSANCE
The Morning Star rises in the east at 3:35 a.m. daylight time. In this early stage, Venus perched so low on the horizon is the harbinger of things to come; Venus accompanying daybreak in the sign of Aries this past weekend was an apt metaphor for a cultural renaissance
At first siting in the East (March 29), Venus at helical rising was at 28°♓️. The April 15 direct motion (26°♓️) culminated in the first lunar conjunction (27°♓️) on April 24). Venus (10°♈️) at last pass (May 16) completed the retrograde cycle begun on March 2 of this year, ushering in the new Venus in Aries cycle.
This archetypal leap out of the Pisces Age into the high vibration Age of Aquarius was dominated by the quantum shift into Artificial Intelligence, bringing up the question of whether AI is sentient.
Now that we got through the most challenging dynamic of the year, we can assess the Aries Venus journey catalyzing the 2025-2026 cultural renaissance; the plunge into the collective unconscious of Pisces was a collective retreat into the past. It seems that the dissolution of the hierarchical archetypal configurations needed to be acknowledged before plunging head first into a new journey. This was the essential preparation for the KAIROS effect of this amazing New Moon.

Yes Bryan! What a sign of New Times…our Substack messages crossed. I have been writing about the Quantum Leap into the Paradigm shift for years…decades in fact.. but this is the first time that I felt it so embodied…announcing it felt unnecessary and redundant — for my own embodiment process.
Great to get your comment to force me to realize that I don’t just write for my own process invoking KAIROS …but as a service to my readers.
Yes, Astroseek is quite the online resource. I’m only now discovering how I can use it for future eclipses, ingresses and the Venus Transit, as I did for this posting. Great resource for the digital nomad astrologer!
I can make this process of chart labeling with elegance easy for you …check out Jane, Chinese digital App (available in APP Store) gives the circle template that I still use, even though I have Canva Pro.

At the Moment, I'm over the (New) Moon about the times we are living in and how grateful I am to be a part of it. Words really don't suffice.
Anyway, I appreciate all of the detailed information you gave here, including some of the previews of what's to come. Also, as a fellow astro-blogger here on Substack, it's rather funny---this morning I was just writing a quick New Moon Note and put up the chart using astro-seek.com and was actually wondering how easy it would be to put the title onto the chart, so seeing how elegantly you did it shows me it CAN be done.
This morning I didn't have/take the time to figure it out, but I appreciate knowing now there IS a way!
