Aquarius Season 2026 Astrology Guide

Introduction to Aquarius Season 2026

Welcome to Aquarius Season 2026! Aquarius Season is when the sun makes its annual journey through the sign Aquarius. This journey lasts around a month.

The 2026 year started quietly with a big concentration of Capricorn energy. This was our opportunity for contemplation in solitude. A time to consider way out into the future and make the plans to get there.

Capricorn Season was the energetic environment to lay the foundation for what is to come.

After Capricorn on the zodiac is Aquarius. Aquarius is the air sign that brings us back to outward expression, sharing ideas and communication after the retreat in solitude for Capricorn Season.

Neptune in Aries

When: 27 January 2026 to approx. March 2039!

What to expect: During Aquarius Season this year, we experience a huge spiritual shift. A once-in-a-lifetime event happens when the planet Neptune moves from Pisces into Aries.

This is a major spiritual upheaval for all of us.

Neptune is the planet of dreams, illusions and spirituality that was comfortable in its domicile sign of Pisces. It will move into fire sign Aries melting away and illusions we were holding onto.

Neptune in Aries transits effects us as a collective since it is a very far away outer planet with a slow orbit. Neptune will stay in Aries for long time.

Full Moon in Leo

When: 2 February 2026 at 9:09 AM (AEDT)

What to expect: The full moon during Aquarius Season always occurs in the zodiac sign Leo as Leo sit opposite Aquarius on the zodiac.

The full moon is peak lunar energy! A full moon in Leo is a great for playfulness, embracing your inner child and allowing your spark to shine.

The full moon is a time for manifesting with the abundance of moonlight.

New Moon in Aquarius and Annular Solar Eclipse

When: 17 February 2026 at 11:01 PM (AEDT) and eclipse 11:11 PM (AEDT)

What to expect: A new moon occurs when the moon moves into alignment with the sun in the sky. An Aquarius New Moon is always during Aquarius season since the sun is already in sign of Aquarius.

During the Aquarius new moon you will want to set intentions and take a moment to revisit your plans for 2026 and beyond.

Since Aquarius is comfortable to dance to the beat of their own drum, you may want to set intentions around embracing your individuality and having the courage to be unique.
