01/15/2026

"The February 16 event represents the closest visual pairing until 2132, when observers living 106 years hence will witness these planetary titans reuniting after more than four complete human generations have passed."

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a rare event occurring approximately every 36 years, however on Feb 16 this is tripled in energy, (see below) signifies a powerful blending of structure (Saturn) and spirituality/illusion (Neptune). It marks major societal transformations and personal paradigm shifts, encouraging us to ground our spiritual aspirations in practical reality.

These conjunctions coincide with major historical shifts, often relating to the rise and fall of political systems, the redefinition of borders, and significant cultural changes. The upcoming exact conjunction in February 2026 at 0° Aries is seen as a powerful "genesis moment" for a new era, emphasizing new beginnings, leadership, and a galactic call for sovereignty, autonomy and reinvention of societal structures.

And so it begins! Doors are opening and we are on the Threshold of major change.

What are you sensing is changing for you at this moment? There are endings and beginnings in progress. xo

🪐 THE 106-YEAR GOODBYE: SATURN AND NEPTUNE'S FINAL DANCE

📅 February 16, 2026

February brings one of astronomy's rarest planetary encounters as Saturn and Neptune meet for their third and final conjunction until 2132, creating an exceptional celestial farewell visible shortly after sunset in the constellation Pisces. Separated by just 54 arcminutes (less than twice the Moon's width), these distant worlds align for the last time this century, marking the conclusion of a remarkable triple conjunction sequence beginning in May 2025 and repeating in August before this ultimate February rendezvous. This generational alignment occurs approximately once every 36 years, but the next opportunity won't arrive until our great-great-grandchildren gaze upward more than a century from now.

💫 Why This Planetary Meeting Holds Extraordinary Significance:

Saturn, the magnificent ringed giant positioned 1.4 billion kilometers from Earth, shines at magnitude 1.0 as a golden beacon easily visible to unaided eyes throughout evening twilight. Neptune, the solar system's outermost major planet orbiting 4.5 billion kilometers distant, glows at magnitude 7.9, requiring telescopes to observe this ice giant's distinctive blue appearance created by atmospheric methane absorbing red wavelengths. Tonight's alignment brings these vastly different worlds into close visual proximity despite their actual separation exceeding 3 billion kilometers, demonstrating how orbital geometry creates temporary partnerships between celestial neighbors traveling their eternal paths around our Sun.

🔭 Your Guide to Witnessing This Generational Event:

Look westward immediately after sunset as twilight deepens into darkness
Find brilliant golden Saturn positioned low above the western horizon in Pisces
Neptune appears positioned less than one degree from Saturn, requiring binoculars or telescopes to detect
The planetary pair sets approximately two hours after sunset, demanding prompt observation
Both worlds continue visible throughout late February before Saturn crosses into Aries constellation

Fun fact: Saturn-Neptune conjunctions follow a 36-year cycle governed by their orbital periods, with Saturn completing one solar orbit every 29.5 years while Neptune requires 165 years for each revolution. The mathematical resonance between these periods creates predictable conjunction patterns repeating across centuries, though exact circumstances vary dramatically depending on orbital positions, seasonal timing, and angular separations ranging from extremely close approaches to wider alignments. The February 16 event represents the closest visual pairing until 2132, when observers living 106 years hence will witness these planetary titans reuniting after more than four complete human generations have passed.

🌌 This triple conjunction sequence began when Saturn entered Pisces in March 2023, gradually overtaking slower-moving Neptune through spring 2025 for their first conjunction on May 24. Retrograde motion reversed both planets' apparent sky positions during summer, bringing them together again on August 6 before resuming forward motion created this final February alignment. The timing places both planets at the critical boundary between Pisces and Aries, symbolizing transitions, endings, and new beginnings as these outer solar system ambassadors prepare crossing into fresh zodiacal territory representing cosmic renewal and pioneering spirit.

✨ Step outside tonight and witness this once-in-a-lifetime planetary farewell, knowing your descendants more than a century forward will inherit the privilege of observing when Saturn and Neptune dance together again beneath future skies we can only imagine.

The 1111 GATEWAY signifies a powerful moment of spiritual awakening, manifestation, and alignment, acting as a cosmic signal to pay attention to our thoughts, as they're manifesting rapidly.

It's a threshold, or portal, between the physical and spiritual worlds, representing new beginnings, intuition, and divine guidance to support us on the most aligned path.

Spirit is listening, urging us to focus on our nudges, dreams, vision and intentions for growth and transformation.

On the flip side (shadow) of this, we can also feel discontent, disillusionment, apathy, procrastination, anger, and sadness, as we continue our inner healing to wipe the slate clean.

Resistance to letting go of the past creates inner turmoil and heightens ascension symptoms!

The New Year does not begin until Feb 17th, so we are still deeply processing, untangling, and sifting through the remnants of the last 9 year cycle.

Soul expansion continues from December as we move into the flow of life, and cleave from all karmic patterning.

Planetary alignments right now, along with a geomagnetic storm, nudge us forward, bringing up the debris of what is still left to leave behind.

In particular, the core spiritual challenge is navigating the tension between worldly pleasures, love, and wealth (Venus/materialism) versus higher knowledge, wisdom, and morality (Jupiter/spirituality). Mars is also sending cosmic coding that has us vacillating between emotional volatility and passionate longings.

Thus we are called to find a way to enjoy life's abundance without becoming enslaved or destroyed by materialism, addiction, selfishness or self-indulgence.

In the New Earth paradigm ego based drive and materialistic aspects are no longer the cornerstone of our worldly purpose.

The Hedonist archetype exemplifies the above, and is the shadow of the 5th chakra, Muse archetype that I spoke about in my January Ascension Update and Archetypal Forecast.

This shadow archetype seeks to maximize happiness and minimize pain, representing a love for life's sensual aspects, yet struggles with balance, becoming a "slave to the moment", spiritually devoid, or disconnected from others.

The Muse instead asks us to listen to our soul, and embrace Impassioned purpose, co-creation, spiritual inspiration and ignited imagination. It gives us the opportunity to find balance and harmony in these two opposing aspects of earthly living and spiritual being.

The spiritual path here involves integrating personal longings/goals with universal meaning, learning to be both authentically yourself and in service to higher ideals.

The spiritual opportunity also lies in developing the capacity to love deeply while honoring personal growth, seeing relationships as a gift that helps you find meaning in life.

What is really important to you, to your heart, and aligns with your core values?

How is your soul calling you forward as you listen to your inner knowing and intuition?

Are you being called to deepen your relationship with your creativity, Spirit or with others?

How do you engage with this more in 2026 and the next 9 year cycle?

You are weaving and designing your destiny!

We will continue to dig deeper into this until the January 18th New Moon in Capricorn.

Love Samantha💖💫

1/1/1 GATEWAY

The Divine Feminine as Creation Energy is flowing from this powerful reset gateway, and is increasing our receptivity, sensitivity, intuition, inner wisdom, creativity, playfulness, nurturing, compassion, flow and adaptability, as well as our connection, collaboration with others, and an embodiment of clairsenses, presence and being.

The sun is also assisting in shifting consciousness with several strong M-class solar flares during the last week of December. The most recent is a M-7.11 on December 31st.

The body is still adjusting to December’s intense soul expansion and 10th chakra purification, so you may be battling fatigue, chest heaviness, throat/nasal/chest congestion, digestive upset, slow bowels, vivid dreams, waves of grief, malaise, anxiety, anger, emotional fluctuations, needing more sleep, brain fog, viral /immune issues, addiction issues, skin issues.

As we stretch to connect to a higher version of reality and the Higher Self, our body and mind are taxed and need time to adjust.

Creative energy is building as we close off 2025, starting with the 1/1/1 GATEWAY - the most potent gateway of 2026. It activates new beginnings, change, opportunities, and independence.

It is the start of a new 9-year cycle, a new way of living, new projects/inventions, trusting our instincts, and planting the seeds for future success. 2026 is about initiation, leadership, and bold action.

1/1/1 - January 1, 2026 (2+2+6=10=1)

What you envision, think, and say amplifies in power once you enter this gateway! Reality is becoming even more malleable!

2026: Year of Designing Your Destiny!

I’ve been quiet on social media for the last couple of weeks. Sitting with life, channelling and working on my yearly archetypal forecast.

2026 is the year you are becoming a focused, truthful channel for the expression of your individual spirit.

Creativity is flowing through your veins, you are Awakening to new ways, a new set of eyes, a new you.

Those of you who are on my newsletter list will receive information about my forecast first!

As we near the Solstice on Dec 21st (PT), we are strengthening the earthly heart connection to the Cosmic Heart, and are able to identify wise action and connect with our true soul needs.

2025 has been a rough ride but there is clarity and illumination available as we connect to the flow of abundance.

Stepping into our Divine Blueprint, we are honing our confidence in our decision making and using our will to direct our life in partnership with Divine guidance, with the Higher Self.

We are releasing final past pain and ego consciousness, and we are experiencing greater soul expansion, awakening and embodying Soul Consciousness.

2025 was the start of this, this new era.

Connecting to the Cosmic Heart, and learning to live through the heart, being directed via the heart - in other words we are becoming: LOVE IN ACTION!

Wow! Dec 7th, 2025- X1.14 Solar Flare @ 7pm PT!

12/07/2025

A SOLAR STORM IS HEADING DIRECTLY FOR EARTH: Strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Dec. 9th when a full-halo CME is expected to strike our planet.

The storm cloud was hurled in our direction on Dec. 6th by an almost-X-class solar flare. (Spaceweather)

These solar events, along with the upcoming 12/9/9 (Dec 9) and 12/12 (Dec 12) Gateways are taking us to another level of soul expansion!

Our 10th Star chakra is being activated and when this happens we experience an advanced purification of the heart (including the Higher Heart/Thymus area). Our energy signature and heart are increasing in vibrational alignment with the Cosmic Heart.

We are spiralling up and into the infinite flow of Creation, closing the door on the old earth paradigm, and opening to new beginnings in the New Earth era. We are in the inbetween, the bridge to infinite potential.

The universe is encouraging us to push beyond self-imposed limitations and embrace a mindset of abundance. This can cause internal pressure and conflict.

You may be experiencing waves of grief, bouts of tears, anxiety, exhaustion/fatigue, need more sleep, disrupted sleep, lung and sinus congestion, lack or scarcity mindset, emotional heart blockages, unmotivated, procrastination, self sabotage, emotional intensity, digestive issues related to stress/nerves, abdominal bloating, tension in solar plexus, chest, breast swelling, neck/shoulder tension, UTI’s, heart pain, lower immunity, viral symptoms, anger, overriding intuition (especially concerning life changes), resistance to change, control issues, worry, resentment, low self esteem.

Stay the course and believe in yourself! - you are leveling up to resonate at a deeper, higher vibrational love of Self. And opening up to the infinite flow of abundance.

New beginnings are on the horizon!

Love Samantha💖💫
