Neptune in Aries Awakening from the Dream: 2025-2039
But 0n March 30th, 2025 Neptune moves into Aries, the sign of initiation, courage, and individuality. Neptune's stay in Aries will last until 2039.
This shift is monumental.
That’s 14 years of fiery, passionate energy, where humanity collectively finds its drive again. But the way we choose to harness that drive, will define the outcomes we all have to endure.
Trading Comfort for Action
This transit won’t allow us to sit back and watch the world go by anymore; instead, it will push us to do something.
The collective energy will be more impulsive, idealistic, and willing to fight for change. And as we navigate this energetic shift, the concept of courage itself begins to evolve.
Redefining Courage
This can look different for everyone—facing ridicule or misunderstanding, being the only one who believes, the only one who sees the path.
It’s a beautiful reminder that courage is about having the resolve to become exactly who we are.
But while this can be so inspiring, it can also lead to conflicts born from idealism. People can become more aggressive about their beliefs, willing to go to great lengths to turn their visions into reality.
There’s a fine line between standing up for your vision, and imposing it on others that Aries struggles to walk gracefully. The shadow side of this transit could bring impulsive, even destructive actions if we aren't careful about how we channel our energy.
Power and Accountability
Neptune’s fog can lead us into self-deception, where we become enamored with our imagined power, our ability to inspire or to lead, yet overlook the hard work, the discipline, and the humility that a genuine impact demands. Of each of us and as a collective.
In myth, heroes often fail not because of their lack of strength, but because of a reluctance to be shaped by the journey itself.
We don’t need to “let go” of our ego, we need to confront how deeply we crave validation through the image of “doing the work” rather than allowing ourselves to become transformed by it.
Neptune in Aries reminds us that healing, whether personal or collective, does not occur through grand gestures alone.
Challenging Vulnerability
We’re face-to-face with the possibility that healing requires us to expose our most tender, even unhealed, parts. We’re not performing healing for the comfort of others, or curating our spiritual identity.
We’re pushing beyond the idea that healing will make us more “acceptable”, and into a space where we have to confront whether we can embrace ourselves precisely as we are. And this goes for the state of the world around us as well.
Neptune in Aries presents us with an existential question: Are we willing to let go of the outcome of our healing process?
Lessons from the Past: Neptune in Aries (1861-1875)
Complexities of Freedom
And we’re all still dealing with the consequences; the rise of factories, pollution, and overcrowded cities to name a few.
This transit shows us that the dreams of progress are inseparable from the costs of that progress.
Now, the movement for racial, gender, and sexual equality, along with the demand for personal sovereignty over one’s body and identity, signals a revival of the same ideas.
We meet the truth that our dreams of freedom are being challenged by deeply ingrained power structures.
This transit will demand real, tangible change, reshaping our laws and institutions.
For the Sake of Progress
And Aries’ pioneering spirit can race ahead without fully considering the impact, while Neptune’s influence can blur the lines between what’s possible and what’s wise.
Technology and progress, without careful thought, can lead us into ethical gray areas, where the pursuit collides with issues of privacy, labor, and environmental impact.
Neptune in Aries pushes us to dream big, but it also invites us to ask: What does “progress” really mean, and who pays the price for it?
Visionary Leadership
But Aries’ energy can also be polarizing, and Neptune’s idealism can lead to a fierce commitment to “the cause” that doesn’t always leave room for nuance or opposing views.
In the drive to build a better world, there’s a risk of creating real division, of turning people against each other in battles over “what that world should look like.”

It’s a beautiful opportunity to cultivate relationships that are more aligned with your higher ideals, but remember that clarity and honesty will be your best allies.
Scorpio Rising
This Neptune transit brings an opportunity to integrate spiritual practices into your daily routines, whether through meditation, creative work, or service to others.

Sagittarius Rising
This Neptune transit will invite you to reconnect with your creative, playful, and romantic side in a more spiritual or soulful way. You may feel inspired to pursue artistic or spiritual endeavors that bring joy and a sense of personal fulfillment. However, this can also be a time when you're called to release old expectations around love, passion, and creativity, and open yourself to new, more fluid ways of expressing these parts of yourself. Romance may feel dreamier, but also more confusing, so make sure you’re seeing your partners clearly. Children, creativity, and joy are all areas that can flourish now, but it’s important to ground your dreams in reality. Let your imagination soar, but don’t lose sight of practical ways to bring your visions to life.
Capricorn Rising

You may feel the need to connect with your roots, but in a more intuitive or emotional way. This period is about understanding the spiritual foundation that your family and home provide, and how you can transform that space into a refuge for your soul. However, Neptune’s fog can also create confusion or blurred boundaries when it comes to family dynamics, so be mindful of maintaining clear communication.

Pay attention to the energy of the spaces you inhabit and make adjustments that align with your inner world.
Aquarius Rising
You may feel inspired to explore new ways of expressing your ideas, particularly through writing, speaking, or teaching about subjects that resonate deeply with your soul.

Be cautious about misunderstandings or miscommunications, as Neptune’s influence can make things seem foggier than they are. You’ll be challenged to balance your visionary ideas with clear, grounded communication. Stay open to learning from others, but don’t lose your sense of clarity in the process. Let your words and thoughts inspire, but keep them rooted in truth.
Pisces Rising
This transit will encourage you to question how your resources align with your spiritual beliefs and how you can bring more soulfulness into your approach to finances. It’s a time to explore what truly matters to you, beyond the material. You may find that old ways of making or handling money feel unsatisfying, and you’ll be drawn to pursue work or income that feels more in line with your higher values. However, Neptune’s influence can create confusion around financial matters, so it’s important to stay grounded and realistic about your choices. This is a time to trust your intuition while being practical about your material needs.
