Venus and Mars pass behind the Sun from Earth’s perspective in a rare astronomical sequence known as superior solar conjunctions. It is seemingly romantic, a quiet celestial dance, and deeply symbolic
On January 6, 2026, Venus reaches superior solar conjunction, moving to the far side of the Sun and becoming temporarily hidden from view
On January 9, 2026, Mars follows, also disappearing into the Sun’s brilliance
Astronomically, both planets are unobservable at this time due to the Sun’s glare.
Astrologically and energetically, this marks a powerful inward turning.
Venus and Mars, lovers in myth and archetype, are not meeting in spectacle but in sacred invisibility, passing through the solar heart to be recalibrated at their source.
This is not a visible event. It is an internal one.
Venus governs love, values, harmony, and attraction.
Mars governs desire, will, drive, and action.
As they pass behind the Sun in close succession, these themes enter a gestational phase. What you love, what you desire, and how you move toward it are quietly reorganizing beneath the surface.
In the weeks that follow Mars will gradually emerge as a morning planet, signaling renewed direction and purposeful action Venus will reappear as the radiant Evening Star, illuminating clarity around values, beauty, and connection.
This moment invites patience rather than pursuit. Presence rather than force. A pause within the dance.
Trust what is forming unseen.
