Neptune in Aries
Today’s cosmic energy hasn’t happened since the Civil War.
Tomorrow, March 30th, Neptune moves into Aries. The last time this transit occurred was April 13, 1861, the day after the U.S. Civil War broke out.
Neptune spends around 14 years in a zodiac sign, making its full transit through the zodiac close to 165 years. Except for its retrograde back through Pisces later this year, Neptune will be in Aries until 2039.
We only experience a few Neptune ingresses in our lifetimes. The last cycle of Neptune through Aries was 1861-1875.
Aries is the start of the zodiac, so Neptune is beginning a new ~165-year cycle. This signifies the beginning of collective transformation.
Neptune represents spirituality, but also illusions. Aries, ruled by Mars, is the zodiac of action, war, and boundaries. With Neptune in Aries, we can expect to see mass movements based on ideology and the dissolution of systems.
Combined with a new moon solar eclipse on March 29th, there is powerful intention-setting energy afoot. Your focus and energy these next few days will affect the next 14 years.
There is an opportunity for establishing dreams and miracles. But also the potential for creating confusion and disarray.
The first major touchpoint from what you bring forth will occur around Feb. 20th, 2026, when Neptune and Saturn join in Aries (a conjunction that occurs every 36 years in different signs).
How to work with this energy:
Hold an intention-setting ritual
Bring forth the highest qualities of the divine (love, harmony, flow)
Avoid delusions and escapism (alcohol, social media, etc.)
Hold sacred space
Nurture yourself
