Are you also feeling the unusual experience of time? Where it feels like there is an amplified concentration of events in a short period?
The amount of work that needs to be done in daily life may be the same, but the time to do it sure feels less.
I feel this is the impact of all the outer planetary transits especially those that connect to celestial energies like Neptune and Uranus, which tend to operate in the non-linear realm, shifting our perception of time.
Such is the nature of the cosmic energy dissolving linear experience and creating doorways for a new reality out of the realms of karmic cause and effect.
Today July 26th 2026, we have 3 big cosmic transits:
- Saturn turns Rx at 14.46 Aries
- Sun in Leo is opposite Pluto in Aquarius at 4.16 degrees.
- And the big one, North Node of destiny entering Aquarius and South Node entering Leo for the next 19 months.
There may be many interpretations to this energy but I will share mine related to the embodiment of impeccable conscious creation of life and the path of self realization.
The north node indicates the destined direction for a soul. What we must learn and imbibe in order to live our destiny.
The south node indicates the past, where we are coming from and the traits we must release in order to not be stuck in the past, but to move towards our destiny.
There is a comfort level in the south node because its been part of us for long. But the soul growth happens when we move out of our comfort zone.
Core intention of Aquarius
Aquarius of all signs, is most concerned with the expansion of consciousness, and exiting the wheel of reincarnation. That is why it does not subscribe to views of consensus reality, and is often seen as an outlier. It sees through the illusion that many are stuck in, due to its expanded view of the soul’s cosmic journey.
The North Node moving into Aquarius is amplifying the opportunities for pathways opening up for expansion of consciousness and self-realization. Many have been feeling this for a long time and if you have planets in Aquarius, your eagle eye higher vision has seen this coming for a long time and you have already been preparing for this path.
Where Aquarius can grow
However, it feels very significant that the Sun in Leo is facing Pluto in Aquarius the same day that the nodes change into these signs.
This not only amplifies the transformative effects of these transits, but is a caution - saying that the antidote to the shadow of Aquarius is to strengthen higher heart connection to divine creator. Claim your true creator ability rather than outsourcing that ability.
Pluto in any sign is a big deal to that sign. In Aquarius, it is revealing the depths of the shadows of lower expression of Aquarius which can be many:
- Over emphasis on technology at the cost of the HUman spirit
- Bypassing the needs of physical reality. Refusing to deal with heavy emotions because they are not deemed ‘spiritual’. One cannot ascend through the mind alone, the body and emotions have to come along. The level to which our consciousness can expand depends on what emotions lie deep underneath the surface of our consciousness. Heavy emotions like anger and grief and refusal to deal with them in a healthy way will block expansion of consciousness. Life Force Mastery is the bridge (see my previous post).
- Disconnected from the true gift of experience in a physical realm of beauty, love and delight and higher feeling state as a way of organic creation
- Belittling the HUman experience and reducing it to algorithms
- Creating your life through lower level mind which may be stuck in loop of old patterns constantly overriding the body’s wisdom. Irreverence and disregard of the body as an intelligence that holds a record of all your soul journeys.
- Fear of expanding consciousness and moving into unknown territory. This fear can unconsciously keep you trapped in old karmic patterns, even ancestral ones.
- Fear of sharing your unique views especially when they don’t match consensus reality
So the Sun in Leo is shining a light on the shadow of Aquarius.
Where Leo can grow
And Pluto in Aquarius opposite the Leo Sun reflects and reveals the shadow of Leo which are also many:
- Outsourcing royalty and hence personal authority to external beings
- Disconnected from divine creator and innocence of divine creation
- Lack of awareness of the royal codes in the Human DNA. Not being aware that royalty is part of each and every HUman’s DNA because it inherently gives the ability to connect to Divine Creator when in physical form. It is up to each to claim it and embody it, not project it on others
- Treating others as less than because of a distorted idea of royalty
- Hiding your unique self due to fear of rejection. The flip side too, wanting to hog the spotlight and block others from expressing due to insecurity – who am I if I don’t get all the attention?
- Negative ego traits that create separation between you and others and you and the Divine such as pain, fear, judgment etc
South node through Leo will expose the shadow of this sign through the next 19 months.
When Aquarius and Leo work together
True higher essence of Aquarius sees through all the above egoic illusions that keep you separate from your higher expression and higher essence Leo is connected intimately to Divine Creator through the heart. Both express their strengths in a harmonious way.
Together they live and express the unique essence of their higher selves with joy, inspiring others to shine their light and reflect and reveal their divine mastery.
Later on Wednesday July 29th, we have 3 more big transits: an Aquarius full moon opposite Sun conjunct Jupiter at 6.25 degrees and Venus square Mars.
This week’s transits are greatly supporting a big release of limiting patters. Be intentional with the release and equally intentional with what you do after so as to create genuine positive change.
It feels like a massive doorway closing and another opening. Use it wisely!
