Let’s get something straight right out of the gate:2026 is not a “soft launch”.
It’s a fuck around and find out year.
And my favorite astro bestie Torrence Tremayne gives a very specific and direct break down of everything you need to know.
After half a decade of grief, dissociation, therapy-speak, spiritual bypassing, and late-stage capitalism catastrophes, the astrology of 2026 signals something potent:
🔥 Movement
Torrence—mystic linguist, archetypal astrologer, and longtime co-conspirator in naming the patterns beneath the chaos—and I connected to talk about what’s actually coming. Not in platitudes. Not in horoscope fluff. But in the kind of language that acknowledges power, systems, and the fact that the world most of us grew up in feels both present in our cultural nostalgia but functionally dead in our lived experience.
What we explore:
From Water 💧 & Earth 🌍 to Air 🌬️ & Fire 🔥
For over a decade, we’ve been swimming in water and earth dominance:
* Neptune in Pisces (since 2011)
* Saturn in Pisces (since 2023)
* Uranus in Taurus (for the last 8 years)
* Pluto in Capricorn (from 2008-2024)
Translation?Collective themes of:
* Emotional processing, an increase in themes around mental health (both for better ie. more of us in therapy and worse ie. Jonah Hill, social media removing all nuance from mental health, bypassing, MAHA, Me Too etc)
* Material survival and corporate greed (monopolization from corporations, exploitation of the earth’s resources, fast fashion, environmental collapse)
This era taught us how to feel more deeply. How to name what has hurt for generations.
But it also trapped many people in delusions, dissociating and mindlessly participating in the very things that are killing the planet.
2026 changes the elemental game entirely.
We move decisively into air and fire:
* Neptune enters Aries
* Saturn enters Aries
* Uranus moves into Gemini
* Lunar Nodes shift into Aquarius/Leo
* Pluto continues its long march through Aquarius
Air and fire don’t feel their way forward.They move.
Air spreads information. (Both the facts and the misinformation…)Fire ignites action. (Both of righteous justice and impulsive anger)
This is not a gentle transition. It’s volatile by design.
Neptune in Aries: The End of the Dream, The Start of the Fight
Neptune rules illusion, fantasy, culture, collective myth-making.Aries rules action, conflict, youth, revolt.
When Neptune moves into Aries, the dream becomes militant.
We already saw a preview in summer 2025:
* Youth-led uprisings across the globe
* Masked Gen Z protesters overthrowing governments
* State power responding with militarization
* The illusion of “normal” cracking under pressure
When Neptune briefly retreated back into Pisces (Sept of 2025 until the end of this month), the collective retreated too.
Cue:
* Aggressive nostalgia
* 90s reboots
* Y2K aesthetics
* “Can we just go back?” energy
Not that things have been peaceful, but there was a palpable energetic shift.
Neptune in Aries returns in 2026 and says:You don’t get to go back.
Pluto in Aquarius: Power Loses Its Mask
Pluto doesn’t whisper.It exposes.
The last time Pluto moved through Aquarius, we saw:
* Revolutions (both the American and French)
* Monarchies collapsing
* Power structures rewritten, though still rooted in colonialism, patriarchy and white supremacy
This era is not subtle. And it’s not just political—it’s technological, cultural, and social.
What was once dismissed as fringe is now showing up in court documents, leaked emails, and Congressional records.
And 2026?The truth will become unavoidable by people on all sides of the aisle.
Uranus in Gemini: Information Corruption
Uranus rules disruption.Gemini rules communication, tech, networks.
This isn’t abstract. It’s already happening:
* An increase in hacking
* The collective realization that all of our information is being monitored closely, without our consent
* AI-generated scams that mimic real institutions
* A boom of tech stocks that may collapse under its own weight
Uranus in Gemini doesn’t mean “cool new apps.”It means reality itself becomes harder to authenticate.
The AI Bubble: 2026 Is the Dot-Com Moment
Let’s say the quiet part out loud.
The U.S. economy is currently over-leveraged on AI speculation.
This mirrors the dot-com boom almost perfectly:
* Untested technology
* Inflated promises
* Massive capital concentration
* Little to no regulation
* Cultural pressure to “get in early”
Astrologically, this checks out.
When Uranus (tech) destabilizes Gemini (markets, communication) and Pluto (power) exposes Aquarius (systems), bubbles pop.
Not because the technology disappears—but because the fantasy collapses.
The Titanic moment always happens after peak confidence.
2025 Was the Fuck Around Year.
2026 Is the Find Out Year.
2025 closed chapters.2026 opens consequences.
The coping strategies that kept people afloat—denial, nostalgia, spiritual bypassing, hyper-consumerism—stop working.
And here’s the part that actually gives me hope:
🔥 People stop taking it lying down.🔥 Information turns into action.🔥 The exploited begin to speak—and be believed.
This doesn’t mean justice is neat or fast.But it does mean the cover stories fail.
So What Do You Do With This?
Well, listen to the episode, obviously.
You also:
* Strengthen discernment
* Diversify power (financial, relational, informational)
* Stay flexible
* Stop outsourcing authority
* Check where you get your information from (again and again)
