NEPTUNE IN ARIES
Our heads are spinning from Neptune’s movement into Pisces. The planetary change forces us to see matters through a different lens after thirteen years of exploring our emotions through Pisce's eyes. Now, we are getting fired up in sparky Aries, which is urging us to evolve and become the person we wish we were. We are breaking free and out of our comfort zones to embrace our true selves.
Neptune takes approximately 165 years to swim through every sign of the zodiac, so the last time it was in Aries dates back to 1861 to 1875 (with many retrogrades in between). What is important to note is that the American Civil War began in 1861, a fight that lasted for four years. With Neptune’s entrance into Aries from March 30 until October 22, power shifts, and people challenge authority for their POV. And then again from January 26, 2026, to March 2039.
Already, we are experiencing the shift as we are unwilling to sit back and watch matters unfold. The desire to speak up and fight for our desires is strong. We won’t stop until we are heard or get our way, which causes power struggles. Since Neptune is the planet of idealism and escapism, and Aries is the sign of aggression and action, the two are making us move toward what makes us the most happy. The days of passively waiting for things to happen or change are over.
The Triple A’s of emotions (anger, annoyance, and anguish) will hit a high in the journey. Neptune is the planet known as “the divine discontent,” so secrets and fears will be highlighted and revealed. The journey inward will have a tremendous healing effect in time as long as we are open to the process. Growing pains make us introspective and reflective, urging us to deal with the underlying issue instead of pressing it. Artistic endeavors and believing in our spiritual alliances will aid us in flying high. However, the journey will make us self-involved, as Aries is the sign of our constitution. The downside is that we might experience severe insecurities or imposter syndrome. Know that you’re good enough and excellent. Positive affirmations will keep you going.
Another common theme is relationship disillusionment; people might find that they’re better off with or without certain people. This includes friends, not just significant others. Our psychic senses will be heightened, allowing us to get the tea on matters. Our passions will take the forefront of our hearts. No one will settle for anything less than stellar.
An important day to look out for is the Neptune and Saturn conjunction on February 20, 2026. This marks the beginning of a new awakening, dream, and path in life. Saturn moves into Aries on May 24 for a moment and then retrogrades into Pisces. When the planet of commitment moves forward, it dances with Neptune in the same sign. It is an auspicious time to envision a fresh start and to realize our potential.
