Emilio Ortiz and Steve Judd Astrology Jan 3, 2026 Just Tap In with Emilio OrtizIn this first interview of 2026, renowned astrologer Steve Judd joins Emilio Ortiz on the Just Tap In Podcast to delivers a grounded yet far-reaching breakdown of why this year marks a true point of no return for humanity. Together, we explore the rare and irreversible astrological shifts unfolding throughout 2026, including the long-term implications of Pluto’s movement through Aquarius, the changing role of Saturn, and how collective structures, authority, technology, and social systems are being fundamentally reshaped. Steve explains why these planetary patterns signal the end of an old era—and why attempting to “go back” to previous ways of living, governing, or thinking is no longer possible. ✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d… This conversation goes beyond predictions, offering deep context on historical cycles, evolutionary thresholds, and humanity’s initiation into a new phase of consciousness. We discuss how past astrological eras have coincided with major civilizational turning points, what makes 2026 uniquely different from previous transitions, and how individuals can align with these energies rather than resist them. Topics include collective awakening, decentralization, personal responsibility, the breakdown of outdated systems, and what it truly means to step forward with awareness as the future accelerates. If you’re seeking clarity on what’s unfolding now—and how to navigate 2026 with insight, stability, and purpose—this episode provides essential perspective.
