#Neptune Transits

[astrologged]

Sudden Introversion

Transits or progressions in your chart causing sudden, temporary introversion.

Mercury Retrograde slows down communication & thinking, leading to introspection & more time alone. People with Mercury retrograde in their birthcharts usually dont really suffer from it as much.

Saturn Transits influences personal planets, there's a focus on responsibility & inner growth, leading to a need for solitude and reflection.

Neptune Transits over personal planets makes people feel confused or disconnected, causing them to withdraw & focus more on their inner world.

Pluto transits, particularly to the Sun or Moon, can trigger deep emotional transformations. It may prompt someone to retreat and focus on personal healing & self-discovery.

Chiron Transits trigger old wounds, causing people to pull back & heal emotionally, leading to more time alone

Progressed Moon in Water or Earth Signs cause people to focus on emotional security, leading to introversion.

Hard aspects from Uranus to personal planets cause people to need more independence and detachment from others, leading to introspection.

Solar and lunar eclipses bring major changes & emotional revelations, causing people to retreat & reflect.

Moon in the 12th house transit causes temporary introversion. Emotions come to the surface which are often hidden or subconscious. It makes you feel more introspective, sensitive, or vulnerable, leading to seek solitude to process emotions privately. You'll feel the need to withdraw from social situations in order to understand or heal emotional matters. It’s a time for inner reflection and you won't feel as energized or social as usual.

I saw someone on TikTok say that the outer planets are useless and especially Neptune bc everything of Neptune can be attributed to the moon and Venus and I’m…..I did block them immediately lol everyone gets one chance in my feed! But as someone who’s been beefing with Uranus in my 3H since 2019 they’re definitely impacting me!!

Neptune in my 1H too!! The only reason I don’t have a long post about my beef with Neptune is bc I’m too confused all the time to do it because of Neptune in my 1H! I haven’t known who I am since 2012 😂 I hold many titles and personalities within this one body!! Two days ago I was a choreographer, yesterday I was a gamer and today I’m an attorney lol I have hated the tell me about yourself question since I’ve been in the work force bc I don’t know how to answer ever lol When Neptune peeks into Aries soon I feel like it’s gonna feel like leaving a cave and finally walking into the sunlight and being able to see reality lol

The reason I blocked is bc they said Venus is escapism so we don’t need Neptune for that and that’s not the Venus I know and love! Lollll escapism???? Venus is so observant and present lol if Venus looks like she’s not present it’s on purpose lol always working an angle! I think Venus’s exaltation in Pisces works in the same way that you can sit and meditate and “escape” into a different world but it’s intentional and it has a purpose. But Neptune escapism is like walking aimlessly and not knowing up from down or left from right but also not trying to figure it out either lol like that stairs that lead nowhere artwork! What was up is now down?? Sure why not! lol go tell that to a Venus sign and see how they cuss you out 😂 bc what do you mean this isn’t up anymore?? It was up 5 seconds ago so it better still be up!

This is the daily battle of my libra stellium with my pisces rising lol

[astrolocherry]

Position of transiting Saturn:The sadness and the despair is a message from the deeper self that something is making you deeply unhappy that you need to change

Position of transiting Uranus:Lack of inspiration and dissatisfaction is a spark about to blow and turn life upside down

Position of transiting Neptune:You never really know when you are under the influence because the trickster can fool even you into believing it never appeared

Position of transiting Pluto:Visceral, unspoken, internally sourced hunger that nothing else can imitate or fill. Can devour or even destruct every other realm of life to acquire its desire

REblog | The Outer Planets Mini Triangle 2024-2028

The rare outer planets mini triangle of 2024 is one of the most powerful astrological events. Discover what it means and how similar events have changed the course of history.. Read on...

Introduction to REblog An outer planets mini triangle (or minor trine) is one of the most fascinating astrological events we can experience, and I’ve been meaning to write about this topic for some time. It has currency: Uranus Neptune and Pluto are now in alignment above us – and we are certainly feeling their effects. So, I decided to put electronic pen to paper, but as I was researching this…

[capriquariusrising]

astrology observations 1.26.25

Moon conjunct ascendant people tend to move away from home at some point in their lives.

Transit Sun and Moon conjunct your ascendant could indicate an upgrade to your living situation; this could include moving homes or making renovations to your current home

Scorpio Venus people tend to only have a few serious partners in life before settling down. These people are fiercly committed and do not feel the need to play the field for long if at all. Messy breakups are common with this placement especially with a square to Mars in Leo/Aquarius

Venus square mars people have intense relationships with others. The relationships modeled for them in childhood effect and shape their early partnerships

Jupiter conjunct ascendant individuals have a strong pallet for aquired tastes; they enjoy eating foods from a variety of cultures

Transit Jupiter in the first house is an auspicious period of life. You will enjoy rich foods, experience beautiful enviornments and financial boosts

Aquarius and Scorpio Rising have likely lived in an apartment or communal living space at some point in their lives. These placements can be indicative of a lack of privacy growing up resulting in hermit-like tendencies in adulthood

Saturn conjunct Venus in the natal chart can inhibits social connection in youth and could indicate an awkward personality especially if aspecting the Sun

Transit Saturn conjunct natal mars is a period of necessary delays, contemplating options and longevity of plans rather than taking actions

Sagittarius Venuses are best suited for partners who are not from their place of origin

I have noticed prominent Aquarius placements in many people who identify as queer/LGBT+. Aquarians thrive on labels from a young age but likely resonate with a different label or evolve to reject labels entirely as they age.

Aquarius Risings are likely to change and evolve in coming years with Pluto crossing their ascendant. This evolution will be the natural progression of the changes you have been taking in recent years

Capricorn Risings have had a difficult time these past few years with Pluto passing through their first house. Friends have been lost, familal relationships changed forever, likely a significant death in the family happened during this time.

Over the next 20 years, Capricorn Sun and Rising will be working toward owning a home and achieving a steady, reliable form of income. By the time Pluto enters Pisces, they will likely have paid off a mortgage and own a property of their own, or they will have inherited a home, property or business

Capricorn Venus usually have a one that got away. They have a difficult time letting go of past partners

Cancer moons love going to the beach. Being near the ocean has a cleansing effect on them

Gemini placements connect with others through humor. They love to laugh at themselves. People get offended when Geminis poke fun at them, but it is all in good humor and harmless. This is just their way of connecting with you

Capricorn Moons can come off as mean spirited but they are actually the opposite; these people are very compassionate and easily hurt, they are accustomed to others disappointing them and so are emotionally guarded and reserved

Having Aries in the 10th/11th house indicates running your own business and/or being your own boss especially if the Sun, Mercury or Venus are in Aries

Sagittarius/Pisces Midheaven and Jupiter conjunct MC/in the 10th house indicates higher education, recieving bachelors, masters, or doctorate degrees

Taurus Suns are easily annoyed by people with big personalities. They can’t stand loudness or obnoxious behavior. They prefer the company of other relaxed, easy going individuals

Sun in the twelfth house tend to randomly disappear from people’s lives without a trace

Sun in the sixth house are recurring characters in others daily lives. They often run into people at the grocery store or out running other errands. A ton of household names are sixth house suns; Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Gordon Ramsey just to name a few

Moon conjunct Saturn experience seasonal sadness during winter months

Mars in the first house and mars square pluto people are argumentative and intense. They can turn any conversation into a ranting session

Saturn in the third house get their drivers license later than their peers

Neptune conjunct ascendant people have a close connection with the arts. Music, film, media, television, theatre, art and culture vastly shaped/warped their worldview growing up

Uranus conjunct ascendant/in the first house in Aquarius probably had unmonitored internet access growing up

Neptune in Aries

The birth of a new world religion

"January Neptune enters Aries on March 30, but it will station retrograde on July 4, and eventually re-enter Pisces on Oct. 22, 2025. After stationing direct on Dec. 10, it will return to Aries on Jan. 26, 2026, where it will remain until May 23, 2039" (People.com)

Northopalshores' Masterlist | Midheaven Persona Chart | private readings

🐏 In the next 13-14 years we will be witnessing another rebirth around art, music, cinema, addiction & religion or spirituality as well as mental health. Everything under these areas will undergo a long-term shift. Neptune also tends to reflect what is seen as "cool" for each generation involved.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

🐏 A lot more media will be put under polarizing influences as well people having clear likes and dislikes (beliefs being revisited, questioned, people arguing over their own interpretations and no longer confining themselves under outside influence).

In art, cinema or music you can expect more independent or new impactful creations brought to life (gone is the age of remakes or brands trying to relieve what they use to have or be in the past!).

🐏 New independent artists popping up, so we'll likely see the decline of nepotism going around in the entertainment industry as well. At the very least they won't exactly hold the same influence as they once did. People are prioritizing people's choice.

Not without it's problems of course (the people assuming more authority over who gets famous and for how long, being disrespectful, assuming more or equal power over celebrities, destroying boundaries once more but in a more demanding way kinda).

🐏 In a way, I think we'll start to see something similar as when Neptune was in Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, & Aquarius (the rise of idealistic Hollywood & celebrities, then a renewal controversial, free spirited and "wild" celebrity culture)

I wanted to include some history & the past that I'm referencing in this post to further highlight these themes & make my point clear.

💣 In Leo, late 1920s to early 1960s:

Neptune was in Leo starting around late 1915 untill early 1929 & then in Libra starting late 1942 untill early 1956 (also retrogrades between Virgo & Scorpio throughout that time).

We saw the rise of Hollywood and a monopoly over media and & movie screening rights or "block booking" (forcing theaters to buy bundles of films including low-quality ones if they wanted to show the hits) to ensure their profit & movies of choice would be shown. Major movie theaters i.e Warner Bros, MGM & Paramount controlled the film distribution.

Celebrities were considered royalty and were treated with adoration, often idealized and sold as such through the media. They were literally "stars" and their lives were viewed as luxurious, classy and to die for in some cases. They were icons and representation of culture, power and elegance. In a way, they were treated as products. It was also common for them to put up fronts to make themselves seem more desirable and polished than they really were. Ugly aspects of their lives were kept hidden to continue selling that star image. That norm began to shift following Neptune in Scorpio (late 1955 - 1970).

💣 In Scorpio, 1955 - mid 1970:

Neptune moved into Scorpio. Consequently we saw the rise of rebellion & dark themes in media. Characters became more raw, and unfiltered but in a meaningful way. There was also a striking increase in sexual portrayal through songs, movies and art. Horror saw a rise in popularity as well. Think Rebel without a cause (1955) & Psycho (1960). Both iconic for stirring the pot in their own way. We also say a rise in counterculture & anti established themes in media (focused on the antihero) like in Bonnie & Clyde (1967) and Midnight Cowboy (1969 nice), and even in movies like The Graduate (it rubbed me the wrong way when I first watched it but that was literally the point; sexual disillusionment in a way). This era reconstructed the media making people question authority figures, and questioned morality in the process. Being the first to push boundaries and limitations.

💣 In Sagittarius, 1970s-1980s:

Neptune moved into Sagittarius early 1970 until 1984 then continuing into Aquarius in the late 90s. (Retrogrades between Capricorn throughout that time).

Here, we enter the "new wave" of media, through music and movies especially. Hippie culture and religious/spiritual practices also became more popular during this time. We saw the birth of "wilder" films and concept leaning into creativity, sci-fi, overindulgence and hedonism. Movies, media, & music became more widespread and available as there were more options and genres to choose from ( we saw the rise/birth/popularization of punk rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, reggae, electronic, funk & etc). Although there was still controversy surrounding media control (like studios & labels having power over their artists, them having to lip sync and filter a lot of the media, radical religious movements also took place to oppose the rise of that new age hedonism). Also, it was considerd cool not to care and have that laid back attitude amongst the younger generation of the time.

💣 In Aquarius, late 1990s to 2011:

Neptune entered Aquarius in 1998 untill late 2011 (retrogrades between Capricorn & Pisces throughout that time).

The internet really came down hard on people during this time and celebrities were considered public domain to be consumed and criticized. People wanted to be famous, but often became so through some sort of problematic (yet new & exciting) ways. Not giving a fuck was popular. Being problematic was popular.

A lot of people were jerks during this time and treated celebrities as such, often going for shock factors and stirring up controversy in any industry really. People were rather judgemental of each other but at the same time this is where we saw the popularization of individuality expressed through bizzare or standout aesthetics. We also saw the birth of revolutionary public figures, film & media and celebrities like Lady Gaga.

At the same time, South Park, the MTV craze, the whole Britney Spears controversy, Eminem, 4chan, obscure websites and internet icebergs, all of them were born or popularized during this time for having that jarring or rebellious ("cool & niche") aspect to it. The weirder or unhinged you were, the more you were seen. Controversy seemed to rule the online world in a way. Indie games (and games in general ) were also a dominating presence back then. People were kind of out of touch too following that plunge into Neptune in Pisces.

I read a reddit post about it here and honestly, I agree with what they were saying as it was evidently so especially online.

Here's a chart timeline of Neptune in the signs (including it's retrogrades from 1901-2026 from cayelincastell.com)

So to continue where we left off with Neptune in Aries:

🐏 Celebrities will no longer be worshiped but they will still have power over the world (just not the same way that it is now where boundaries are questioned). They'll be more expressive and experimental, abrasive even (claiming their right as individuals and not products to be scrutinized by the public or people online). Think Chappelle Roan advocating her rights and fighting back against disrespectful media representations being more rude. Same with Doja Cat and her whole rebrand (while it may have upset many of her fans).

🐏 Celebrities won't act like they owe anyone anything anymore but people will also start revolting against their influences. So we can expect more altercations surrounding that area as well.

🐏 Celebrity hate or drama could be amplified.

We'll likely see the rise of more masculine influence in art, movies, music, religion & spirituality. More men diving into Neptunian themes including music, religion or the occult (astrology, witchcraft & tarot). Idolizing powerful men or public figures.

🐏 Births or the appreance of "prophets" could be possible.

🐏 Independent brands gaining more traction & popularity.

🐏 Prominent activism.

🐏 Idolized brands going through rebrands or losing worth.

🐏 Women embracing a more agressive and powerful presence. People with significant Aries placements may be impacted significantly too (triggering a lot of inner fears or desires but also their creativity).

🐏 Movies could center around new & impactful stories, based on true events, more action, more drama, a reformation through the narrative or overall vibe of movies or animations, we may also see a rise in independent films again or maybe even movies that kind of suck ass or are straight up just "shocking" but get popular over that.

🐏 Movies that are hot & heavy, action packed or just something more real or raw (like live action and physical sets).

🐏 People may be less dependent on religion as well & instead will be focusing on individuality and personal power (which can be both good & bad depending on the context).

🐏 There may be conflict with certain religions (being stubborn or assuming power over the other) that part might be rather messy, but it's to be expected.

🐏 Agressive idealisms & false crusades (fighting for religious beliefs that are misleading).

🐏 Media or delusions being our reality.

🐏 More internet fights or calling people out, being more confrontational. Some sort of war or huge conflict may start as well. The last time Neptune was in Aries, the US went through Civil War.

🐏 People will respond more to power and authority (rather than spirituality, authoritarian figures will likely dominate this era). There's likely going to be some forcefulness at play as well. But rebellion, and stubbornness is more significant (especially since Pluto is in Aquarius).

🐏 Intense psychological battles will also ensue. Mayhaps many, many rude awakenings.

🐏 Neptune in Aries & Pluto in Aquarius is a lethal combination. Hah, expect more discourse online. Seems like a good part of the world is turning into a worldwide "Reddit", people correcting one another & putting their interests, ideas, and expressions above others. Either way, this new era is not for the weak or faint of heart. Brace for impact soldier!

Overall themes: War, independence, serving c*nt, body horror, death, stubbornness, arguments, wild & free experimental decisions, s*x, energy, power, drama, visceral emotional outbursts, things feeling real & consequential, contant taking (less giving).

This was my personal forecast for Neptune in Aries based on the prior evidence we had & measuring changes that i. occured

Neptune in Aries

Neptune enters Aries on March 30, 2025, marking a major collective shift. Neptune hasn’t been in Aries since 1861–1875, so this is a brand-new energy for our time. Aries is fiery, bold, and pioneering, while Neptune is dreamy, mystical, and elusive. This transit will bring spiritual awakenings, new leaders, and a more warrior-like approach to dreams and ideals.

This Neptune in Aries era is about courageously chasing dreams, breaking old illusions, and redefining spiritual paths in a bold way. The last time this transit happened, the world saw revolutions and new beginnings—so expect a pioneering energy to shape your personal destiny.

Aries Rising

This is your era of reinvention. Neptune dissolves old versions of yourself, making you more intuitive and spiritually connected. You might feel called toward new creative pursuits, healing arts, or even leadership with a spiritual touch. Watch out for identity crises—stay grounded in reality while embracing change. During this time, you may have a more dreamy and unclear approach to some things. You may also lose weight. This is a time when you'll feel more connected to spirituality, dreams, and intuition. Be mindful of confusion, illusions, or deception around your self-image. You might feel inspired to lead with a higher purpose—whether in art, activism, or personal missions. This transit can make you fearless in following your visions, but it’s important to stay realistic about what’s possible.

Taurus Rising

Your spiritual growth deepens behind the scenes. Neptune in your 12th house activates hidden desires, subconscious healing, and possibly karmic themes. You may have vivid dreams, strong intuition, or a pull toward solitude. Be mindful of escapism or unhealthy habits creeping in. Your sleep may be more fulfilling with intuitive or vivid dreams. Maybe during this time you can meditate more easily and you can start dealing with deeper, unknown things and also spiritual things. Travel during this time can be more illusory.  You may start exploring deeper spiritual practices like meditation, past-life regression, or astrology. You may have sudden flashes of insight or feel drawn to solitude and reflection as you navigate inner shifts. This period may require you to release old identities, relationships, or habits that no longer serve your highest growth.

Gemini Rising

Your social life and ideals transform. Neptune in your 11th house dissolves outdated friendships and brings soul connections. You might be drawn to humanitarian work, spiritual communities, or creative collaborations. Stay wary of deception in friendships or false promises in group settings. You can attract a lot of people who are more spiritual and maybe people who can help you a lot. Be cautious with financial agreements, especially with foreigners or international business. Neptune can bring confusion or unclear terms. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes or investing in something that seems too good to be true. A loved one may move abroad, or you might frequently connect with international people. You might idealize living in another country, but make sure reality matches the dream before making big moves. You could spend more on spirituality, art, or humanitarian causes.

Cancer Rising

Your career takes on a dreamlike quality. Neptune in your 10th house makes you want to align your profession with a deeper purpose. You could be drawn to healing, arts, or spiritual leadership. But beware of confusion, illusions, or being misled in professional settings. Fame or recognition could come in an unexpected, mystical, or artistic way. Your public image may be inspirational but also misunderstood. Your relationship with your father (or a father figure) might feel distant, confusing, or spiritually significant. In some cases, Neptune here can indicate secrets or unknown truths about a parent coming to light. Be mindful of financial illusions in career-related travel—some opportunities may not be as profitable as they seem.

Leo Rising

Your beliefs and worldview shift. Neptune in your 9th house makes you crave spiritual expansion, travel, and knowledge. You might explore mysticism, philosophy, or different cultures. Watch out for misleading teachings or idealizing distant places. There could be mystical or fated connections abroad, but be mindful of deception or unrealistic expectations when moving or working in a foreign place. You might feel drawn to spiritual or philosophical studies rather than traditional education. If you're pursuing a degree, you may change your path often or feel uncertain about what you truly want to study. You may fall in love with someone from a different culture or background. Sports and physical activities might bring spiritual fulfillment—yoga, dance, or martial arts could be powerful for you now. Unexpected blessings may come from foreign connections, spiritual teachers, or creative endeavors.

Virgo Rising

Your intimate relationships and shared resources become mystical and intense. Neptune in your 8th house can bring spiritual unions but also financial confusion. Be mindful of debts, secrets, and emotional entanglements. On a higher level, this transit could awaken deep intuition and transformative healing. Neptune in the 8th house can bring a heightened sense of spirituality related to death and the afterlife. You may feel more connected to the astral world or have profound, otherworldly experiences regarding life and death. This transit could involve money from others—such as inheritances, legacies, or shared finances. Intimate connections may become more intense and transformative, offering opportunities for deep healing. There’s a risk of confusion or idealization of partners, especially when it comes to shared resources or joint investments. Trust may be a major theme, and you’ll want to carefully navigate any financial entanglements with loved ones. Be careful of deceptive or unrealistic financial proposals, especially in partnership or marriage. If you're married or in a partnership, you might undergo spiritual growth together, but there’s also a risk of misunderstanding or deception in terms of shared wealth.

Libra Rising

Your relationships take on a spiritual tone. Neptune in your 7th house makes you idealize partners or attract soul connections. However, you may also deal with illusions, misunderstandings, or codependency. Balance dreams with reality in love and partnerships. You may be drawn to relationships that feel soulful or fated. Romantic partners may seem like perfect matches, but it's important not to blindly idealize them. Long-distance relationships with friends may take on a deeper, more emotional tone, and you may find comfort or understanding in people from different cultural or spiritual backgrounds. In a female chart, Neptune's transit through the 7th house can show a shift in how you view your father’s later life circumstances—you may feel a sense of disillusionment or have heightened empathy toward your father, but also potentially misunderstand or idealize his needs. In a male chart, the mother’s later life circumstances may come into focus, with Neptune urging a sense of compassionor possibly confusion about her situation. Your relationship with your mother could become more spiritually connectedbut might also feel unclear or unresolved. For health matters, Neptune here can sometimes blur the signs of illness, so it's crucial to stay aware of any changes in your well-being and not ignore symptoms.

Scorpio Rising

Your daily life, habits, and health become influenced by Neptune’s dreamy energy. You might feel drawn to alternative healing, meditation, or creative work routines. But be mindful of fatigue, escapism, or lack of structure in your daily life. Service-oriented roles may become more appealing, and you might be drawn to helping others in a more compassionate or intuitive way, but avoid overcommitting or losing yourself in others’ needs.You might be drawn to alternative health practices or spiritual healing, but be careful not to idealize or escape into unrealistic health fads or unproven methods. You could find that healing comes through meditation, yoga, or other holistic approaches. You might adopt or find yourself more involved with animals, particularly if they provide comfort or healing. You might feel that your partner is either a source of inspiration or an obstacle, but these perceptions may be clouded by idealism or confusion. You may feel drawn to wear flowing fabrics or clothing that reflects your inner world, but be cautious of making choices that might be impractical for daily tasks or work.

Sagittarius Rising

Your creativity, romance, and self-expression take on a magical aura. Neptune in your 5th house inspires artistic pursuits and deep love experiences. However, be cautious of illusions in love, idealizing romantic partners, or reckless gambling with your passions. You may feel drawn to soulmate-like connections or deep, mystical attractions, but it’s important to be cautious of illusions or unrealistic expectations about romantic relationships. You may attract partners who feel like they have a divine or fated connection with you, but be mindful of projecting idealized qualities onto them.If you have children, Neptune’s influence may bring a sense of idealism or emotional depth to your relationship with them. You might feel more connected to their emotional needs and be drawn to creative or spiritual activities with them. You may feel more spiritually connected to creative pursuits, and this is an excellent time to explore artistic hobbies, whether it’s painting, writing, music, or any form of creative expression. You might have a desire to invest in dream properties or inherit money, but be cautious about illusions or deceptive financial opportunities in these areas.

Capricorn Rising

Your home and family life become more fluid and intuitive. Neptune in your 4th house can inspire you to create a dreamy sanctuary, reconnect with your ancestors, or explore emotional healing. But watch out for family secrets, confusion. During this transit, you may experience a strong pull toward spiritualizing your home and family life. You might feel a desire to redecorate, renovate, or transform your living space in a way that aligns more with your spiritual, emotional, or aesthetic needs. Your home environment may also take on an ethereal, dreamlike quality, and you may be drawn to spaces that feel magical, calming, or deeply nurturing. Neptune could inspire a deeper connection to food as a spiritual or healing experience, and you may find comfort in cooking, baking, or preparing meals with a more artistic or intuitive touch. As Neptune transits through your 4th house, you may start to think more about your future and what kind of legacy you want to leave behind. This could also be a time when you feel more connected to your inner child or seek to heal any emotional wounds related to your upbringing. You can also move into a dream home or home by the sea. Moving also involves aromantic partner.

Aquarius Rising

Your communication, learning, and thinking patterns become more intuitive and artistic. Neptune in your 3rd house can enhance your imagination, writing, and spiritual insights. However, be wary of misunderstandings, mental fog, or misinformation. You might find that you are more sensitive to others’ feelings and can communicate in ways that feel more compassionate and understanding. Misunderstandings or confusions in communication are possible, and you might have trouble expressing yourself in a direct or practical manner. Relationships with siblings and relatives may take on a more dreamy, idealistic, or even mysterious quality. You may feel more drawn to intuitive or spiritual tools like meditative driving or using digital spaces to connect with your inner world. You might have trouble with computer malfunctions, driving errors. While this can be an excellent time for creative writing or artistic projects. You might feel a yearning to leave behind old structures and embark on a more idealized or dreamy lifestyle. This could be a time when you feel like the escape from your current living situation is necessary for your spiritual growth or self-discovery, but be cautious about any illusions about the new environment

Pisces Rising

On a deeper level, your sense of security will shift toward more spiritual and creative fulfillment. You may feel a desire to detach from material concerns and seek fulfillment through more spiritual or artistic means. Be cautious about overspending or investing in ventures that seem too good to be true. Neptune here can inspire a deep emotional connection to music or art, whether through listening, creating, or finding a way to turn your creative expression into a source of income. You may feel drawn to gourmet foods, luxurious dining experiences, or even exploring diets that align with your spiritual or emotional needs.This transit may bring up deep emotional feelings and memories related to your sense of self-worth and security.

neptune into aries!!!!!!!

you know i'm not the fearmongering kind, so believe me when i say that this Very Big News has both good and bad points. the end of an era begins, but the start of the new one overlaps with it and the coexist together for some time. specifically from now until the end of january, due to a retrograde bringing back into its home of pisces until it enters aries for good.

the kind of scary news: the last time this happened was the US civil war. as if we need more revolution/civil war/economic turmoil vibes. but there you go. i'm not saying history repeats itself, but mark twain was sure right about it rhyming.

neptune has a lot to do with illusions, delusions, manipulation, and confusion.

on the brighter side it is also dreams, glamor, unconditional love, oneness with the universe, and oceanic depth. some great things certainly came about as a result of the civil war too, and elsewhere in the world due to other events around that time.

neptune doesn't leave aries for taurus for over a decade, so start to get a feel for this new vibe and make yourself at home. we've been in neptune in pisces era since 2011/2012. it's quite a shakeup. like waking up from a dream, maybe.

✰NEPTUNE IN ARIES✰

A once in a lifetime astrological event!

©️GeminiMoonMadness

Neptune takes roughly 165 years to transit the whole zodiac and has been happily swimming through his own sign of Pisces since 2011. Neptune will transit Aries from 2025 to 2039, spending about 12 and a half years there in total, with a few dips in and out at either end. This represents the start of a new cycle of inspiration and change.

Here are the dates:

-Enters Aries on 30 March 2025

-Retrogrades into Pisces on 22 October 2025

-Re-enters Aries to stay from 26 January 2026

-Dips into Taurus on 21 May 2038

-Final visit to Aries from 21 October 2038

-Enters Taurus to stay on 23 March 2039

Neptune was last in Aries from 1861 to 1875 and brought to light humanity´s impulsiveness translated into wars, the creativity to invent and the determination to discover.

As Neptune transits the signs, it reveals what we idealise and look to for redemption or salvation. In Capricorn (1984-1998) it fed the idealisation of corporations and big business and in Aquarius (1998-2012) it idealised science and technology. In Pisces (2011-2025), it appears to be idealising deception itself because we’re all drowning in fake news and propaganda in a crazy-making post-truth hall of mirrors.

PREDICTION FOR 2025-2039:

Neptune in Aries could bring pioneering visions that reach into every part of society, with lots of new ideas and progressive thinking. There could be idealistic revolutions and social activism, visionary rebellions, crusades for truth and religious wars. Wars may be fought based on lies and deception (nothing new there then), or fought with bioweapons, chemicals and viruses.

At best, Neptune could inspire compassionate action and leadership that takes us away from the potential for war. But it could just as easily reveal the corruption and weakness of leaders that create power vacuums and trigger war by accident.

There may also be a massive loss of faith in leadership, a loss of belief in the nation or the system. People could turn away from the system out of disillusionment or even boredom, and lose themselves in escapist pursuits, like gaming or virtual reality.

TRANSITS - 🔥 SATURN CONJUNCT NEPTUNE IN ARIES (All Rising Signs)

Saturn and Neptune are joining forces in Aries and this is one of the most powerful transits for turning vision into action you’ve seen in years. Saturn will demand structure. Neptune will ask for vision. Together, they will expose where your self-image is built on fantasy and where it’s ready to become embodied truth. If you’ve been talking about starting the business, launching the project, becoming the artist/leader/coach/entrepreneur/whatever version of you calls from the future, this is the time to stop talking and build it. But if you’ve been clinging to a version of yourself that was never really yours? Saturn + Neptune will strip it away and free you to build something more aligned. Here’s where this conjunction is asking YOU to get real based on your rising sign

ps: my book on sale in pinned post :)

♈️ Aries Rising This is one of the most defining transits for your personal identity you’ll experience in years. Saturn and Neptune are meeting in your 1st house, this is about YOU: how you move through the world, what you project, what you believe about who you are. If you’ve been performing an image that doesn’t match your deeper truth, this is when it will start to crack. If you’ve been holding back from fully embodying a version of yourself you dream of becoming, this is when life will ask you to commit. Saturn brings the discipline to build your identity from the inside out, not just based on what looks good. Neptune brings vision but also the risk of self-delusion if you’re not honest. This is about building a self you can live in, not just sell. ✨ Advice: Stop waiting for permission to become the version of you you’re already dreaming about. Define who that is then take one aligned action toward it every single day.

♉️ Taurus Rising Your inner world is under reconstruction. Saturn and Neptune are meeting in your 12th house, this is about healing, subconscious patterns, and how you sabotage or support your future self. If you’ve been ignoring inner work, escaping through unhealthy coping, or clinging to old narratives about who you are, this is when it all comes to the surface. But this is not a punishment, it’s an opportunity. The version of you that succeeds next isn’t the one who hustles harder, it’s the one who feels safe enough to expand. Build a real support system around your mental and emotional health. Create boundaries around your time and energy. The more inner structure you create, the more outer success you’ll see. ✨ Advice: Treat healing like a non-negotiable project. Build it into your schedule, therapy, rest, boundaries, and honor it as the foundation for everything else.

♊️ Gemini Rising Your long-term dreams are about to be tested and potentially rebuilt stronger. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 11th house of community, friendships, and future vision. This is the time to get real about the goals you’re chasing. Are they truly yours or inherited from someone else’s version of success? If you’ve been clinging to vague ideals without a real plan, this is when life will demand structure. Friendships and communities will also shift, those built on mutual vision will deepen, those built on fantasy will dissolve. You’re building a future now, the version of you that succeeds is the one who starts making it tangible. ✨ Advice: Audit your long-term goals. Pick one that truly matters and create a step-by-step action plan to start bringing it to life this year.

♋️ Cancer Rising Your career and public life are about to go through a deep transformation. Saturn and Neptune are meeting in your 10th house, this is about your ambitions, your public image, and how you define success. If you’ve been chasing an idealized version of success, what looks good on paper, what pleases others, this is the time when you’ll be asked to get real. Are you building something that matches who you truly are? If so, this can be a year of major progress but it will take consistency and clarity. If not, you may feel disillusioned with the path you’re on but that’s not failure, it’s freedom. You’re being asked to create a version of success that’s sustainable, not performative. ✨ Advice: Define success in your own terms and restructure your career moves around that. Stop building for other people’s applause.

♌️ Leo Rising Your beliefs, mindset, and worldview are ready for an upgrade but it will require facing illusions. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 9th house, the part of your chart that governs philosophy, higher education, spiritual growth, and how you see the world. If you’ve been clinging to beliefs that no longer fit the life you’re living, this is when life will ask you to update them. It’s also a powerful time to take a dream (publishing, teaching, long-distance travel, building a platform) and commit to making it real. But fantasy thinking won’t cut it, Saturn demands a plan. The more grounded your vision, the more doors will open. ✨ Advice: Choose one belief, one course of study, or one big vision and start building a daily practice around it. Consistent action will move you further than more inspiration.

♍️ Virgo Rising Your relationship to trust, intimacy, and shared resources is about to be restructured. Saturn and Neptune are meeting in your 8th house, this is about how you merge your life with others emotionally, sexually, and financially. If you’ve been avoiding vulnerability or blurring boundaries in relationships, this transit will force clarity. If you’ve been clinging to financial or emotional fantasies, the truth will surface and you’ll be asked to rebuild on firmer ground. But this is also a beautiful opportunity to create intimacy and financial stability that truly supports your growth, as long as you approach it with honesty. ✨ Advice: Clean up any financial or emotional entanglements that feel murky. Practice radical honesty with yourself and with others about what you want and what you need.

♎️ Libra Rising Your relationships are being rebuilt from the ground up and this time, they have to be real. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 7th house, which governs one-on-one partnerships, both romantic and professional. This isn’t about fantasy connection anymore, this is about doing the work. If you’ve been idealizing someone, avoiding commitment, or staying in a dynamic out of guilt, this transit will pull off the mask. But it’s not just about endings, it’s about choosing partnership with your eyes wide open. Real love, real collaboration, and real support are possible now but they require clarity, maturity, and boundaries. No more rescuing. No more being rescued. ✨ Advice: Don’t chase potential. Build relationships with people who are actually willing to meet you in reality not just in hope.

♏️ Scorpio Rising Your habits, routines, work, and physical well-being are about to shift and it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing it right. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 6th house, this is your systems, your daily life, your body, and how you show up in service to others. If you’ve been idealizing productivity or avoiding structure, this is the time when burnout or health symptoms could force a change. But this is also a chance to build something sustainable, to refine your schedule, your workflow, your wellness practices, and to stop romanticizing chaos. A dream job or purpose can grow here but it has to fit into your actual life. ✨ Advice: Create a daily system that honors your body and your time. Don’t wait for burnout to make changes, structure is the new self-care.

♐️ Sagittarius Rising This is a reality check around your joy, your creative expression, and your relationship to love and fun. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 5th house that rules romance, art, children, pleasure, and how you express yourself. You’re being asked: what lights you up and are you actually showing up for it? If you’ve been chasing emotionally unavailable people, creating only when “inspired,” or downplaying your desire for real joy, this transit will bring it all into focus. This is your time to build a creative practice, a relationship, or a lifestyle that brings real pleasure, not fantasy highs that disappear by morning. ✨ Advice: Make room for joy that lasts. Structure your creativity. Date people who actually show up. Stop settling for sparks, build something that warms you every day.

♑️ Capricorn Rising Your foundation, home, family, inner security, is ready for a rebuild. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 4th house, and this is about getting radically honest about what makes you feel safe and rooted. If you’ve been clinging to an idealized version of home, a family role that no longer fits, or a physical living situation that doesn’t truly support you, this is the year you’ll be asked to face it. But the goal isn’t loss, it’s authenticity. You have the opportunity to build a home life that actually works for you, emotionally and practically. That may mean moving, setting boundaries with family, or finally choosing stability over the story you’ve been telling. ✨ Advice: Let go of the image of “perfect home.” Build a real one, in a way that honors who you are now, not who you used to be.

♒️ Aquarius Rising Your communication is about to deepen and so is your relationship with your own mind. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 3rd house, this is about how you speak, write, think, and connect. If you’ve been speaking in abstractions or avoiding clarity, this is the time to ground your voice. You may also begin writing, teaching, or building something that shares your vision, but Saturn will demand structure. Scattered thinking won’t cut it anymore, your ideas need form. It’s also a time to upgrade your everyday conversations, are you connecting authentically, or performing? ✨ Advice: Choose a message that matters to you and start building it into something others can receive. Your voice is needed, but it must have structure.

♓️ Pisces Rising Your relationship with money, worth, and material stability is about to be tested and upgraded. Saturn and Neptune are moving through your 2nd house, this is about how you earn, spend, and value yourself. If you’ve been floating financially, undercharging, overspending to compensate for lack of self-worth, or avoiding building real stability, this is when it will all surface. But it’s also an opportunity to create a new relationship with abundance, one built on grounded self-worth and clear values. You can’t manifest what you won’t take responsibility for. Now’s the time to claim it. ✨ Advice: Get clear about what you want to build financially. Create a concrete plan and start aligning your money habits with the future version of you you want to become.

Let’s talk about some major generational transits coming and how it could affect us:

The outer planets- Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are considered generational planets. They affect things over a long period of time and shift generations. They do not move into new signs often. It is rare that all 3 are shifting within about 7 months of each other. This points to some major shifts coming.

Pluto has already moved in Aquarius - going to see huge shifts on technology, think AI, using technology to get ahead. Fake information and images will be more and more widespread. This is because technology is ahead of humanity. How much will technology change? It may become more and more obsolete and we may need new ways of getting accurate information. How we use technology will shift.

Neptune moving into Aries 3/30/2025 - this will be a big shift. It has been in Pisces since 2011, it added a huge spiritual awakening- think how much astrology, tarot, the occult has become more open and prevalent since before 2011. People have been interested in working on themselves spiritually. It also introduces a lot of misinformation and illusion. Fast forward to Neptune moving into Aries. The shift will turn towards action, courage, revolution, creativity. The illusionary aspect goes away. People are going to want straight forward, authentic information.

And owwwweww now in July of 2025 you will then have Uranus leave Taurus and enter gemini. Having Uranus in Gemini will add to advances in how we communicate and think.

Overall we can see that generationally over the next 5-10 years we are straddling a very new chapter. Where communication, technology and information become central focus. We will see our platforms for information change. We may have to create new platforms in order to receive quality news or communication. There will be a strong need for authenticity while technology continues advancing.

Thoughts?
