I’ll admit it: I’ve always been skeptical of astrology. As someone grounded in science and trained to value empirical thinking, it’s hard to put stock in systems that lack the rigor of randomized trials or peer review. The stars, beautiful as they are, don’t control our destiny. Yet — a friend recently sent me a note about the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries in 2026, calling it a kind of “cosmic reset,” and something about it caught my attention.
What intrigued me wasn’t a belief that planets exert gravitational influence over our lives, but the metaphor of it. In the Church of Divine Vibration (CDV), we recognize the power of metaphor, myth, and symbolic language — not as superstition, but as resonance. Our ancient guides and wayfarers used myth and metaphor not only to explain the heavens, but to orient themselves in a chaotic world. Before telescopes or computers, storytelling was how we mapped the unknown. These old frameworks didn’t compete with reality; they gave it meaning. Likewise, CDV embraces the mythopoetic — using story and symbol as mirrors for our inner lives. Vibration, after all, is both a physical and a metaphorical reality — the music of atoms and the melody of being. So when Saturn (structure, discipline) and Neptune (dreams, imagination) align at the “first degree” of Aries (initiation, spark, fire), something stirs in the symbolic field. Not because the planets cause change, but because they reflect the fractal rhythms of inner and outer reality.
In CDV, we call these vibrational thresholds: periods when the status quo of the world becomes unbearable, and the need for realignment grows. These thresholds don’t arrive only through celestial cycles; they emerge in culture, in the body, in ecosystems straining toward balance. And right now, the world is in what we might call the extinction burst of a toxic patriarchy — a system that, sensing its own end, thrashes harder to maintain control. The old structures that once defined power — domination, extraction, hierarchy — are cracking under their own weight. This isn’t just political; it’s energetic. Every institution built on disconnection is trembling, while new models rooted in compassion, community, and shared consciousness are rapidly emerging.
The 2026 conjunction, then, can serve as a mirror for this collective labor — the moment when Saturn’s dying rigidity meets Neptune’s dissolving dream. It doesn’t promise apocalypse or deliverance; it symbolizes integration. The invitation is to ask:
- What illusions am I ready to release? Am I ready to deprogram?
- What new foundations can I lay — personally, spiritually, communally — that align with life rather than domination? Am I ready and willing to reprogram?
CDV doesn’t treat astrology as doctrine. But we honor symbolic systems as sacred tools — mirrors, not maps. Just as music doesn’t tell us what to feel, but gives us space to feel, astrology gives us symbolic space to imagine new ways of being. As the 2026 conjunction approaches, the question isn’t whether you “believe” in astrology. It’s: Can you sense the shift in the field? Can you feel the world trying to exhale and begin again?
The Divine Vibration is not a prophecy — it’s a practice. A practice elucidated in the Divine OS and the Living Scriptures. It begins with presence, with care for the mind, the body, and the Earth. And yes, maybe with a glance at the stars — not for answers, but for rhythm. Not for fate, but for frequency.
Because the shift won’t come from above. It starts with you. With us. With vibration.
