Mercury, Mars, Saturn Conjunction April 2026
Mercury, Mars and Saturn together brings obstruction, stagnation, contraction, conservatism, wariness, strategy, rebellion, insurrection, subversion, corruption, crime, calamity, disaster, fire, earthquake, cruelty, teasing, harsh words, abuse, capture, interrogation, imprisonment, execution, mass casualties, the overthrow or death of a leader, endings and beginnings, and a new cycle, especially relating government and war.

This rare triple conjunction represents the culmination of long-term frustration, anger and resentment. On one hand, Mars makes you think aggressively, urging you to act assertively. On the other hand, Saturn promotes defensive, conservative thought. This can result in indecision, procrastination and changeability.
Try to think practically, not pessimistically, and to speak constructively, not maliciously. With patience and self-discipline, you can express your anger productively, helping you resolve disagreements and solve complex and long-term problems. You can more easily end unhealthy relationships and build more constructive, practical partnerships.
The Mercury, Mars and Saturn alignment favors taking action on long-term and strategic plans, conserving and consolidating resources, building and strengthening defenses, repelling attacks, retreating, troop withdrawals, suppressing violence, ending wars, peace negotiations, suing for peace, admitting defeat and surrendering, sharing power and responsibility, cabinet reshuffling, coup d’états, gaining independence and launching spacecraft.
It is unfavorable for impulsive or rash actions, unnecessary risk-taking, picking fights, taking revenge, war, launching military attacks and invading countries.
Being mean, cruel or abusive to innocent people now will result in bad karma and misfortune in the future. On the other hand, you may face the karmic repercussions of previous actions or words that hurt others.
When planets are close together, the calamity will be great; when they are far apart, the calamity does not cause harm. If their distance is within seven cun (23 cm), it must certainly happen. [1]
The Stars
The April 2026 conjunction of Mercury, Mars, and Saturn is in the Aries Sign. But because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is in the Pisces Constellation. It also aligns with the constellations Pegasus, Andromeda, Reiculum and Lacerta.

The Mars-Saturn conjunction is exactly conjunct Alpha Retili, and the closest major fixed star to the three conjunctions is Algenib in Pegasus. They also fall with this Chinese Mansion Shi, “Encampment,” and the asterism Chefu, “Big Yard for Chariots.”

With Mars: Quick mind and body, lying, theft, danger of accidents.
With Saturn: Success, secret help from powerful friends and influential relatives, many enemies. [2]
The 13th Lunar Mansion Shi (Encampment) predicts national prosperity or widespread chaos. It governs official residences, government offices, documents, military supplies, treasuries, civil engineering and construction projects, and matters of stagnation and obstruction.

Trump NWO-fascist wants to destroy civilisation in Iran.
Heseth is the right warrior for this: mars-saturn.
Now: WHO had allowed Ajatollah Khomenei to return to Iran in 1979? USA and England. And now they wanna free thrm destroying whole country?
Hail empire of idiots.
Uuuuuh… and doen’have another “Führer”
his birthday at april 20th ?
That fits perfectly.
Honi soit que mal y pense…. 🤕🤮
Napoleon died on the day of a Mercury-Mars-Saturn conjunction.
Interesting Jamie.
And i wanna add chiron is also conjunct this stellium.
Doesn’t make it easier i suppose…
🙋
Just another hegemon…. 😏
We can only wishfully thinking hope….
Ner…That comment was meant to be under Jamie’s… Napoleon died on this conjunction..
I know Kaz 🙋🤗
Thanks, I had been searching for previous Saturn,-Mars-Mercury triple conjunctions. Please share other times, thanks
From 1900 to 2050 under one degree orb:
23 Mar 1996
20 Apr 2026
02 June 2032
Wasn’t there a comet that passed through mid Virgo not so long ago?
The yod with Pluto and Ketu suggests something that could be a ca-crazy rahu. Or not.
Yes Vic if you take a wide orb to pluto it is a yod with the karmic nods in the midpoint and apex.
The apex is the descending nod and it is in virgo.
This is the behaviour you should get away from. It is conjunct fixed star alpha draconis Thuban It is bout egoistic government of the treasures of earth.
Now what does USrael want? They wanna contron complete oil market.
They should get away from such behaviour but they do the complete opposite so they will completely fail in an insdescribable swamp of war. This is shown by ascending node in pisces and his ruler neptune on bad stars in the whale which is saturn hinderance again.
I wonder about sloppy orbs in yods in the natal chart. For example, natally I have sloppy orbs with moon sextile sun yodding chiron with Uranus at release point. Nothing could explain my Chiron return better than that sloppy yod.
It was a sloppy mess getting to that release I guess. 🙂
I don’t know anything about synastry or composite charts. And there were alot players involved.
That would be an adventure that is too much to think about unless I end up writing a novel some day.
Sun – moon and chiron – uranus in the midpoint ?
Freedom of the soul with obstacles or so ?
I suppose I could relate that to release of so called past life confinement issues. So mars rx if I want to go there. Might not have a choice. Homework. 🤮
Jamie, could you explain this, pleasE?
If their distance is within seven cun (23 cm) – ??? cm means centimetre ???
A “cun” is an ancient Chinese astronomical measurement for determining the distance between stars. I am still learning through Google translate.
I would suggest to try deepl
The cum is OK, translated to cm is wrong
It should be arcminute or arcsec or similar.
23 is intersting as well – I understand there is a permanent debate about cosimo or casimi is 7 or 17 or similar?
Here we go. From Google Translate:
從七寸以內必之。
Cóng qī cùn yǐnèi bì zhī.
It must be within seven inches.
七 = qī = 7
寸 = cùn = inch
On Baudi, I found that one cun is 3.33 cm (a Chinese inch) but originally meant one finger width. So I image in astronomy, it meant how many fingers between the planets when you hold your hand a certain length from your eyes.
I guess it would be holding your arm out straight.
Well,
I have not got any information how they watched the stairs and I have not heard anything they built anything for that?
I understand they used compass at least one thousand years before others and would be interesting to get to know about their mathematic system or similar key facts.
I have found information about their fights and poetry only from the ancient Chinese years and was funny to get to know they called “fairy” their best poets gave them free food and presents just to hear their poems.
This conjunction comes at the end of the “ceasefire” between the US and Iran. Obviously lots of developments on that front to come. Most likely a restart (Saturn) of negotiations (Mercury) and hostilities (Mars). The straits of Hormuz (water, war, Shi) are the focus here obviously. Expect lots of angry back-and-forth on trying to settle conflict on terms favorable to each side. I hope a durable peace is created because as Jamie said war here would be unfavorable to everyone involved.
It IS unfavourable by NOW !!! Only riches and billionaires win and WE are the loosers again like in corona Plandemy. Open yr eyes !
Anyway DO normal people anywhere win with this US-politics ??? Nowhere, not in Iran, not in Germany, not in Ukraine, not in USA – nowhere.
They are such liars Trump talks complete rubbish as they wanna improve the situation i. e. for women, gays etc. as if his own Maga followers ever wanted that in their own country.
Total liars bullshit.
Wake up !!!
Yep. Peeps don’t get how much so called “convenience” comes made in or transported in… Plastic. For one.
Globalization is & always was going to screw everything & everyone over being run by Big Con Corpses. All it’s done is the Big Few have hoovered up long established well run companies in every single level. Too easy, cheap as, with mafia 101 business models free from impunity with free-enterprise” to destroy.
Funnelling total control globally of basic fundamental human needs & rights.
FOUR CORNERS investigative last night had Big Tech insider whistleblowers saying the business model of was set up from the start to create division, chaos etc to profit from. Amenable or ambivalent folk are harder to control votes of obvs. And let alone the Google engineer whistleblower doco i saw several years ago & I’ve never seen repeated. He said,
we were told to make the software as addictive as possible…. In his early 20s. It was only a decade? later as he reflected on watching his first young child immersed in a Screen… How vile & evil the whole shit show he helped with.
I did so have a great few days for a change with the best Big news in a decade for me… Seeing parent of child WIN over Big Techs dealing the equivalent of Crack-cocaine . Screen use is badly addictive enough for most adults.
Sun, cusp of power
Compare Adolph Hitler
https://postimg.cc/Z9gsRFWs
Lots has been made of Hitler’s golden yod.
Who is Hitler in our time? may be an individual or a collective.
Mars,Mercury,Saturn transit Hitler’s 6th house.
Carney, Rutte, Bibi, Trump, they all have heaps of Artwork loot, here’s your problem, and I’ve got a golden yod too.
It is not the yod but their materialist money fascism Paul. I don’t wanna world government (“e pluribus unum”) ruled by such people. Same with so called EU.
Therefore i want back the national souvereignities. That doesn’t mean national fanatism or supremacy over other countries and people. Just normal.
We could have normal relationships between each other and trade.
I donn’t need USA world police ruling over whole world market either oil or else.
I. e. the Iranian gaz and oil is THEIR property and not of USA or anyone else. They should decide with whom they trade and whom they sell their earth treasures.
World dictator USA simply fck off !
This is exactly square my Mars
17 April New Moon, compare 27 October 1954 New Moon, first Godzilla movie release, Nagoya, Japan.
https://postimg.cc/FYDhYJh2
It’s a movie, and we see Both new Moons in aspect to Neptune, one is an opposition, and the other is a Quincunx with Neptune/Mercury,, which is also an apex point in golden yod, indeed 17 April 2026. The Godzilla franchise well know, info widely available, but in current time, we may broaden ‘modern’ Godzilla to mean other things, keep in mind 1954 Godzilla is an irradiated dinosaur roused from the sea by hydrogen bomb testing. And most know by now I’m not shy to say something like modern Godzilla gender transition gone bad, or that Artwork looted to pay for buyers remorse.
Minoru Honda asteroid, his wife’s asteroid and the asteroid of their observation telescope on top of a mountain, which Satoru paid for with her Teachers pension. But originally curious of Ishirō Honda the Godzilla director. In the 2026 chart Minoru and Satoru are conjunct, and fittingly they are honoured in our mixed up crazy world Lola, perhaps in a certain irony of past dreams where one grows old with your partner and that was all there was too it.
https://postimg.cc/VrWZT8GC
Chart is Trump – USA military blockade of Hormuz, 1400 utc, but from Japan, and include Honda, Satoru, and mountain top. One thing about Hormuz blockade is how it affects other countries, and often in politics the game is to blame others what you do yourself, or hijack ideas or platforms, tweak it and a newly invented conservative party ousts another conservative party because conservatism is popular but the looting regime wants their version, and crime ring.
Paul, Gangstaz, just gangstaz… Need more explanations ? Really do i need astrology for knowing this ??? 😏🙃
You’re involved in the Hungarian op? Invoice sitting on NATO Ruttes desk @ Artwork slush fund payable. ref. vast quantities of Artwork astrology, pilfered.
Not me but fcking Soros-EUdssr.
😏
Now, Paul, just one question: who is Godzilla in world politics ? Thx to you mentioned the monster….
In world politics from younger perspective, Godzilla was the Soviet era hockey team.
1972 through 1987, one can bracket two of the biggest competitions. Watching the game 1972 in the school gymnasium, and 1987 in person, watched the game at the local arena.
On the Soviet side was Vladislav Tretiak, goaltender, and look at his chart with 00Aries point
https://postimg.cc/YjH3Xh10
He has a grand cross, is that Godzilla pattern?
But also include Ran for parallax and the charts are topocentric. Tretiak Moon also conjunct Ran.
