On March 26, 2026 at 9.26pm GMT Saturn moves from south to north declination signaling a change in its polarity and the start of a new 14-year Saturn cycle that ends May 5, 2040.
There are 195 countries and each has its own Saturn cycle chart which operates in its unique political, economic and cultural environment.
Saturn is the planet of safety, security, conservatism, tradition, protectionism, tariffs, economy, thrift, cutbacks, downsizing, poverty, land, basic utilities, minerals, buildings, crops on the ground, destruction by storm and miners, farmers and common laborers.
Its vibration expresses as fear and anxiety and in 2026 the fear index on planet Earth is through the roof. Safety and economy are key global issues.
Nuclear weapons and the threat of war and climate change disasters are major concerns. Hate, racially motivated violence and the risks associated with online living have governments working to keep you safe. And in response to the high cost of living you’re working and economizing to prevent hardship and loss.
Saturn is all about an aging population, the care and welfare of the elderly, self-preservation and the struggle to survive.
Saturn in the 2026 Saturn cycle chart is conjunction Sun (world leaders), conjunction Neptune (visionary idealism and schemes) and sextile Pluto (groups and cooperation). It’s vastly different from the 1997 Saturn cycle chart.
World leaders will play a prominent role in securing the world’s safety and navigating economic and other losses as they arise. Nationalistic self-interest is prevalent. Economy is the catch cry of governments. New laws and regulations will protect you online and reign in corporate power.
Visionary schemes to address global injustices, inequality and poverty have great expectations but achieve very little. In response to the struggle and suffering people find solace in movies, pharmaceuticals, pain killers and mind-altering drugs. Each has a unique way of escaping harsh reality.
World leaders won’t instantly make our dangerous world safe and people will always dream of making easy money so Saturn conjunction Neptune forecasts ongoing high levels of anxiety and apprehension.
Anxiety is characterized by feelings of worry and fear concerning an immediate happening or potential loss; and apprehension is characterized by wildly exaggerated feelings of fear, worry and uncertainty about something that may happen in the future like a war or stock market crash.
