Neptune in Aries
Neptunes ingress out of dreamy and etheric water sign Pisces and into Aries can be felt like a cup of piping hot and strong black coffee first thing in the morning after a night of very vivid dreams. Since 2011, illusory stories and played out patterns have become our normal, tucking emotions or inconvenient truths inside of compartments in our mind. Neptune in Aries comes in to snap us out of it and assist us with identifying and defining what the next chapter will be for us.
On a personal level, Neptune in Aries will help us to step into a space where we are idealizing the next action step to take. The North Node is finishing out in Aries from January 2nd - January 11th of 2025 and you will notice that the very same themes emerge with Neptune on March 30th. Pisces is the very end of the zodiac and in 2025 and 2026 we can anticipate a wave of some very profound endings and intense new beginnings and our astrology is clueing us in by giving us hints at this time.
Neptune is also going to connect with Saturn on February 26th, 2026 and will be very close-by during the initial part of this transit in 2025. They will both ingress back into Pisces in 2025 indicating moving back into that sleepy storybook energy and the patterns of the past so that they can be fully closed out. Saturn in Aries will assist Neptune with remaining realistic the next two years and can add quite a sobering touch. This necessitates action and will make it harder for us to believe in pipe dreams or lie to ourselves and others.
Neptune in Aries globally can activate a fantasy in the mind of the collective that a leader will rise to power and entirely wash away the foggy Piscean mess we have been left with, when an abuse of power seems more likely and disillusionment is to follow. It is important to be wary of external saviors in the microcosm and macrocosm and above all, trust yourself. We are less susceptible to buying into the latest lie and mistrust of institutions continue to rise when words and actions don’t line up.
Where Neptune in Pisces brought historic floods, Neptune in Aries calls up fires, droughts and scarcity in things like oil and water. History indicates that economic crises and civil unrest as millions of people see through the illusion of media and propaganda with a heroic mission from the divine put on their heart to act in service to future generations. The shadow of this transit is nations and individuals getting called into war through deceptive means.
The American civil war began as soon as Neptune moved into the 0 degree point of Aries in 1861 and throughout that transit many states across the southern US especially found themselves on fire. In the United States natal chart, this is strongly highlighting the 4th house, which connects to disruptions on the home front, when in recent US history, the disruptions have been distant and seemingly irrelevant. The illusion of the US’ safety bubble may burst and many will respond by rising in their power and being their own hero, understanding what they are fighting for through this idealistic transit.
