Neptune in Aries: A New Era of Spirituality and Transformation (2025-2039)

We are officially entering an era none of us have experienced in our lifetimes—Neptune in Aries. This monumental transit hasn’t occurred since 1862, making this a once-in-165-year event! Neptune will make its grand entrance into Aries on March 30, 2025, moving back and forth between Aries and Pisces throughout the year before fully settling into Aries on January 26, 2026. And it will stay there until 2039.

What Neptune in Aries Means for All of Us

Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, spirituality, and creativity, is shifting from the dreamy, mystical waters of Pisces (its home sign) into the fiery, action-oriented sign of Aries. Neptune in Aries is about pioneering spiritual movements, courageously embracing one’s truth, and actively manifesting dreams. Where Neptune in Pisces encouraged us to reflect and seek compassion, Neptune in Aries wants us to move forward, take inspired action, and find our personal power.

Historical Context: What Happened Last Time?

The last time Neptune was in Aries (1862-1875), the world saw significant social and cultural shifts. The American Civil War and the abolition of slavery happened during this period, marking a battle for freedom and justice. Globally, there was a surge in spiritualism and interest in the occult, as well as the growth of new philosophical and religious movements.

We can expect Neptune’s journey through Aries to bring about bold spiritual awakenings, radical new philosophies, and transformative movements designed to break through the illusions we’ve collectively held. It’s about acting on our visions and standing up for what we truly believe in.
