On March 30th, 2025, history is made – Neptune enters Aries. Neptune’s shift into a new sign marks the beginning of an epic chapter in our life.

Neptune stays about 14 years in a sign, so we only get to experience a few Neptune ingresses during a lifespan. This is BIG. 

Not only does Neptune change signs –  it moves from Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, to enter Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. 

0° Aries is a very potent and important point in the zodiac, as it marks the beginning of everything. 0 degrees of Aries is arguably the most important of all 360 degrees. For Neptune, it marks the beginning of a new 165-year cycle around the Sun.

Neptune is one of the 3 outer planets – the others are Uranus and Pluto. When outer planets change signs, we’re talking about big, fundamental shifts.

When we look at outer planetary transits, we look at collective turning points that impact all the aspects of our lives. In this context, Pluto is not just ‘power,’ Neptune is not just ‘spirituality’  –  outer planets’ movements through signs represent generational trends that affect pretty much every area of our life. 

Of course, the outer planet will express the themes of the sign it’s in in its own archetypal way.

With Neptune in Pisces, we’ve seen an emphasis on Piscean themes like interconnectivity, spiritual unity, and the idea that we are all one – a vast, boundless melting pot of dreams, ideals, and illusions. 

And how does this Piscean emphasis show up in a Neptune way? By dissolving borders. 

If we were to think of one important theme that aligned with Neptune’s stay in Pisces – in the past 14 years – that theme is globalization. Pisces is the ocean – limitless, boundless, no borders – so Neptune in Pisces amplified the feeling of no boundaries.

Here are the key themes that emerged during Neptune’s transit through Pisces:

• Neptune dissolves borders. We saw more emphasis on acceptance, open borders, increased migration, and multicultural integration.
• The internet, social media, and e-commerce exploded, creating a borderless digital world where anyone could connect, share, and sell globally.
• The rise of remote work, the gig economy, and digital nomadism lead to breaking traditional job structures and national work identities.
• Streaming platforms (Netflix, Spotify, YouTube) erased boundaries of media consumption. People from different countries began consuming the same content, blurring cultural lines.

Neptune In Aries 2025-2039 – From Globalization to Sovereignty 

So how will these Neptunian themes evolve when Neptune leaves Pisces and enters Aries?

If Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, associated with dissolution, surrender, and the collective, Aries is the 1st sign –  the individual, the spark of life. 

Aries is where we emerge into this world and take our first breath. Here, the focus is to assert ourselves, define who we are, find our identity, and survive. If Pisces is the energy that dissolves boundaries – the ocean, “we’re all in this together” – Aries is the “this is me” energy: I’m a unique individual, and I’m going to find what makes me different from you.

On a personal level, our focus will shift from seeking connection with something greater (Pisces) to a focus on selfhood – reshaping our identity, discovering our purpose, and stepping into a more active role in our lives.

What does that mean? 

• Less watching, receiving, drifting (Pisces) – more doing, asserting, creating (Aries)
  Less blind faith (Pisces) – more about becoming the hero of our own journey (Aries)

At a global level, Neptune in Aries marks a potential shift from globalization (Pisces) to autonomy and sovereignty (Aries). 

Institutions, people, and nations will begin to (re)discover their unique identity, which can result in new political positioning, redrawn borders, and a redefinition of national and personal purpose.

The approach will be less about global connectivity – such as operating through an open-borders or one-world framework – and more about establishing or reclaiming what sets us apart. This can lead to nationalist movements, local-first economies, and missions driven by personal or cultural authenticity.

This new emphasis can also bring a resurgence of traditions – not necessarily in a nostalgic, Cancerian “return to the past” sense, but more from an Aries place of fierce pride and individuation  “This is my DNA. This is me, beyond blurring lines hyperconnectivity”. 

In terms of trends, we may see more boutique, identity-driven expressions in music, cinema, and culture. Less formulaic, “one size fits all” blockbusters or mass-market entertainment – and more raw, bold, personal, and niche content. Creators may care less about global relatability and more about authentic self-expression.

Aries is also about discovery – and in a Neptune sense, this could point to exploration of new dimensions of reality, including space travel, deep sea exploration, and new frontiers in consciousness. These could become hallmark themes of Neptune in Aries.

Another likely trend: “going off-grid” – not just for homes, but for people.
Personal finances, resources, healthcare, education – many will feel called to opt out of systems they no longer trust, and build self-sufficiency. 

“I’m on my own” won’t feel isolating – it will feel empowering. With Neptune in Aries, trust in institutions erodes. DIY culture, decentralized tech, and sovereign communities rise.

Aries is also the sign of warfare. War – metaphorically or literally – is often how borders are maintained or redefined. Anything that threatens the sense of individuality or freedom can trigger Aries’s instinct to push back.

Does Neptune in Aries mean more war? Not necessarily – though conflict, protest, and resistance may become more common as people and nations fight to reclaim or define their sovereignty.

But this desire to reclaim autonomy doesn’t have to be violent. It can take creative, conscious forms. 

A promising signature of this transit is that Neptune will form a harmonious minor triangle with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini – a rare configuration that suggests that Neptune in Aries could channel its energy into visionary, constructive innovation.

Like with any major ingress, there will be a period of adjustment. Almost all outer planetary ingresses come with a sense of initial chaos or disorientation – but we’ll start to see the true flavor of Neptune in Aries fairly quickly when Saturn joins Neptune in Aries in May 2025.

To recap: The transit of Neptune in Aries will likely lead to a paradigm shift – from the Piscean age of connectivity and globalization to an Aries age of localism, sovereignty, and decentralized power. 

We’re already seeing this in the de-globalization of supply chains, the rise of identity-based politics, and the fragmentation of mass systems into smaller, more personal networks.

In the broader context of other outer planetary shifts – like Pluto in Aquarius – we can see that the old corporate, institutional model is breaking down. 

More people are turning to independent work, online businesses, and personal brands. Self-sovereignty and financial independence are becoming the new aspirational goals.

Neptune In Aries – Don’t Make False Idols

Neptune carries the tendency to idealize, and ultimately, to polarize.

We may idealize a leader, a romantic partner, or a friend to the point where we follow them blindly → example Charles Manson. 

The more we idealize someone, the more our suppressed – often negative – qualities get dumped and projected onto someone else, who then becomes the villain in our story. They become the “bad” character – the one to be feared, hated, or punished.

And this is a dangerous predicament, because it creates good vs. bad, light vs. dark, hero vs. villain scenarios where people act according to a black-and-white, us-vs-them dichotomy, rather than dealing with the messy, nuanced reality of human nature.

As the Neptunian fog lifts, we begin to see that there’s no such thing as someone who is purely good – and no such thing as someone who is purely bad, either.

Idealizing someone – following everything they say, think, or do without discernment – is how we fall into the trap of false idols. 

The Second Commandment in the Bible (“You shall not make for yourself an idol” – Exodus 20:4) can be understood psychologically as a warning against misplaced attachment, external validation, and the illusion of permanence in a constantly changing world.

This commandment is not just about religious idols. It speaks to a universal human tendency: the urge to assign meaning, identity, and security to external people, objects, or ideologies – at the expense of inner truth and spiritual autonomy.

When we are under Neptune’s spell, we’re often blind. We don’t see people, missions, or projects for what they truly are – we see them as we want them to be. In Neptune’s fantasy, an idol is not just admired – they’re sanctified. They’re perfect. They cannot have flaws, they cannot make mistakes.

Refusing to see the – absolutely normal and human – less desirable side of someone means that even when the idol says things that don’t align with our values, or does things that seem off, we reframe them, we rationalize, we justify – because, of course, the idol must be perfect. This is cognitive dissonance at work.

When they do something obviously wrong or hurtful, we twist the story to say: “It must be someone else’s fault.”

In this scenario, not only is everything the idol does justified — but all the negative traits we don’t want to see in them have to go somewhere. And so, someone else becomes the epitome of evil. The scapegoat.

We see this in movies – but we also see it in real life: in sports, when we idealize our team and demonize the opponent; in celebrity culture and politics. The ‘idol’ gets into conflict, and suddenly, the audience splits. Under Neptune’s haze, there’s the good guy – the hero – and the bad guy – the villain.

But is that reality? Or are we caught in our own Neptunian false idol trap?

What’s really going on here?

Neptune – Escapism And Outsourced Moral Compass

At its core, making false idols is an escapist mechanism (very Pisces) – a way to avoid confronting the duality within ourselves. 

Like any human being, we have both what society calls “positive” and “negative” traits. The spiritual ideal is to integrate those parts into wholeness and express the best possible version of ourselves – without denying or rejecting the rest.

But the process of individuation is hard. So instead of doing the inner work, we play it out externally – we split off parts of ourselves and project them onto others. We idolize those who reflect our light – and demonize those who reflect our shadow.

The false idol – the person we blindly admire and follow – is actually a mirror of our highest potential. Those idealized qualities aren’t bad; they’re clues about who we could become. 

But the idol is “false” because it’s built on the illusion that the ‘bad’ can be stripped away, that perfection is attainable.

Perfection doesn’t exist – at least not in this 3D, flesh-and-bones reality. And that can be a hard pill to swallow, especially since there’s a part of us that does remember something divine – something beyond all this – and longs for it.

But if we truly want to evolve, we must stop looking outside, and instead, start within.

With Neptune in Aries, we’re invited to become our own source of spiritual authority and reclaim spiritual autonomy. When we realize that we alone are responsible for our beliefs, ideals, and aspirations, we are no longer easily deceived, disappointed, or disillusioned by others – because we understand that our projections create the good vs. bad, hero vs. villain dynamic.

The world is what it is – too complex and layered to fully understand. It’s our rose-colored (or fear-tinted) glasses that filter what we perceive. Not reality itself.

Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. While Venus is about our personal values, Neptune attempts to universalize those values – it filters the world through a spiritual, moral, or idealistic lens. But that same lens can become a veil.

Neptune – Compassion For Our Imperfect Humanity

When Neptune moves from Pisces to Aries, we are being asked to own our Neptune. To stop outsourcing belief, meaning, and truth – and find it within ourselves.

We will look less outside for leaders, idols, and saviors – and more within, where it all begins. We will become our own “personal Jesus.”

That’s not to say Neptune in Aries means the end of leadership or admiration. The world will still have presidents, icons, heroes, and commanders-in-chief. But maybe we’ll stop treating them as gods – or as devils – and start seeing them for what they are: humans, with gifts and flaws.

And maybe we’ll also start doing the same for ourselves – accepting, and finding compassion for, our imperfect humanity.

“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Neptune in Aries 2025-2039 – The Transits 

Just before it emerges in the raw fire of Aries, Neptune conjuncts Mercury at 29°59’ Pisces. 

What are the odds of having a conjunction at the very last degree, very last minute of the zodiac? Very, very small. 

Yet, this is happening – so chances are, we will receive a very important message. Something that seals the outcome of a very important chapter in our lives.

Mercury has already been in Aries, infused with the energy of this new beginning Neptune is about to step into – but due to its retrograde, it slides back into Pisces. And literally within minutes of re-entering Pisces – at 29°59’ – Mercury meets Neptune, which is just about to leave the sign. 

It’s like a passing of the torch moment. But what’s being passed down?

An important insight, message, or piece of spiritual intelligence that might change everything. Something we didn’t necessarily see coming – or if we did, we didn’t believe it could actually manifest. And then, after this sacred meeting with Mercury, Neptune makes its way into Aries – with a completely new tone, mission, and momentum.

Sounds cinematic? That’s just the beginning.

Neptune’s entrance into Aries is truly spectacular because, especially in the early phase of its transit, it becomes involved in some rare and powerful planetary configurations.

Neptune enters Aries on March 30th, 2025 and stays in Aries until October 22, 2025, when it briefly retrogrades back into Pisces for one final goodbye. It then returns to Aries on January 26, 2026, and remains there until March 2039.

Soon after its initial ingress into Aries, Saturn also enters Aries. However, the two planets don’t actually conjunct in 2025, because Saturn goes retrograde at 1° Aries, slipping back into Pisces just before Neptune does.

But Saturn and Neptune do eventually meet – and form the much-anticipated conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, 2026.

Before, we talked about the odds of having Mercury and Neptune conjunct at the very last minute of Pisces – the end of the zodiac. 

Now, again: what are the odds of 2 slow-moving planets meeting at the very first degree of the zodiac – 0° Aries, the cosmic “reset” button?

This is starting to look like a finely orchestrated cosmic handover. We are witnessing a MAJOR new beginning. A closure. A reset. The world is about to shift in ways we can’t even imagine yet.

In the first years of Neptune’s transit through Aries – 2025 to roughly 2029 – Neptune is part of a supportive configuration called a minor triangle, alongside Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. 

This is significant because Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the heavyweight changemakers. When these 3 outer planets form a harmonious aspect, we know we’re in good cosmic hands. 

So having all three in cooperative dialogue is definitely encouraging. More on this important minor triangle in a dedicated write-up.

Neptune will continue its sextile to Pluto all the way through 2032 – an aspect that only happens about once every 100 years. This long-lasting sextile helps maintain spiritual regeneration and visionary reform as core themes of this era.

Other Notable Neptune Transits While in Aries:

• 2033–2034: Neptune square Saturn in Cancer (19–22° Aries/Cancer)
  → Themes of internal tension between individual identity (Aries) and emotional security/family structures (Cancer). Could manifest as clashes between personal freedom and social expectations.
• 2036–2037: Neptune trine Saturn in Leo (26–28° Aries/Leo)
  → A more constructive period, where vision (Neptune) and discipline (Saturn) come together to support creative leadership, inspired structure, and heart-driven purpose.
• 2039: Neptune trine Jupiter in Leo at 29° Aries/Leo
  → A beautiful send-off: visionary optimism, spiritual expansion, and the potential to embrace our unique heroic journey – individually and collectively.

Neptune In Aries – The Outer Context 

While we will have a dedicated write-up for the Neptune–Pluto–Uranus minor triangle, let’s talk a bit about Neptune in Aries in the broader context of all the outer planets changing signs.

Understanding that Neptune in Aries is not a shift of its own, but a puzzle piece in a larger planetary choreography, will help us understand its mandate in a more nuanced way.

On a day-to-day basis, we might pay attention to New and Full Moons or Mercury retrogrades – the everyday currents in life. 

However, it’s the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto – that act as transformative forces shaping collective evolution. The outer planets are the ‘puppeteers’ behind the scenes. 

If we want to know how we feel today, we look at the Moon or Venus. But if we want to understand what era we are living in, and what deep changes are underway, we look at Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

What’s absolutely extraordinary – and statistically quite astonishing – is that all 3 outer planets change signs within a very short timeframe. 

Pluto entered Aquarius in 2024. Neptune follows, entering Aries in March 2025. And Uranus enters Gemini in July 2025. Saturn also enters Aries that same year, further emphasizing the Neptune in Aries mandate of restructuring identity, will, and responsibility.

To understand the interplay between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, we need to consider the outer planets’ “hierarchy of influence.” 

The premise here is that the farther away a planet is from the Sun, the slower it moves, the longer it spends in a sign, and the deeper and more foundational its influence becomes.

Following this framework:

• Pluto is the farthest of the 3, spending roughly 20 years in each sign – it sets the evolutionary tone
• Neptune follows, spending about 14 years in a sign – it defines the vision or spiritual climate
• Uranus, the fastest of the 3, spends about 7 years in each sign – it manifests change through disruption, innovation, and awakening

In this archetypal flow, Pluto sets the scene – the deeper “why.” Neptune infuses the vision – the “what.” Uranus delivers the tools and technology – the “how.”

We could think of Pluto as WHY, Neptune as WHAT, and Uranus as HOW.

WHY – Pluto in Aquarius (2024–2044):

The overarching agenda of this new era is a shift from top-down, centralized systems to bottom-up, decentralized empowerment. 

Pluto in Aquarius is dismantling hierarchical power structures – breaking apart outdated institutions and ideologies. The goal? A world where power is distributed, where networks, communities, and individuals become the new engines of change. The next two decades will be focused on empowering people, not just systems.

WHAT – Neptune in Aries (2025–2039):

To support this revolution, Neptune in Aries awakens the sovereign self. It encourages us to reclaim agency, rediscover our identity, and take spiritual ownership of our path. 

Neptune in Aries shifts us from passive absorption (Pisces) to active participation. This is the call to become the hero of our own story, to find truth not in dogma, but in direct experience. The dream is no longer abstract – it’s embodied.

HOW – Uranus in Gemini (2025–2033):

Uranus now steps in as the technological facilitator. As people awaken and reclaim their power, Uranus in Gemini revolutionizes communication, learning, and movement. 

New technologies will reshape how we connect, learn, and collaborate. Uranus in Gemini will likely bring us decentralized, peer-to-peer systems, AI-generated learning, and borderless collaboration. 

Uranus in Gemini will redefine mobility, media, and education – not through traditional infrastructure, but through light-speed connectivity, immersive knowledge-sharing, and agile, decentralized communities. The very way we perceive “distance,” “authority,” and “information” will change.

To recap:

Pluto sets the agenda.
Neptune infuses it with meaning.
Uranus brings it to life.

In this symphony of planetary shifts, the future is no longer dictated from above. It emerges from the ground up – built by individuals who are empowered, informed, and interconnected in radically new ways.

As Neptune begins its journey through Aries, it’s not just ushering in a new chapter – it’s joining forces with other outer planets to rewrite the script entirely. The universe will press the RESET button. 

Neptune In Aries – Crossing The Threshold – The Sabian Symbols

What better tool to help us reflect on this transit than the mysterious, imaginative, and Neptunian-like Sabian Symbols?

Let’s turn to the symbolic messages of the last degree of Pisces and the first degree of Aries to gather further clues about this monumental shift.

The cusp between Pisces and Aries – one of the most significant thresholds in the zodiac – is the alpha and the omega, the end and the beginning of the entire zodiac cycle. 

30° Pisces – “A Majestic Rock Formation Resembling A Face Is Idealized By A Boy Who Takes It As His Ideal Of Greatness, And As He Grows Up, Begins To Look Like It”

This symbol speaks to the power of ideals and visions. It suggests that what we admire, project onto, or worship can slowly shape us over time. Our longings and aspirations don’t just live in our minds – they sculpt who we become. 

After we’ve traveled all the way through the zodiac and reached the very end of our soul’s journey, we’ve accumulated insight, myth, belief, and archetypal longing. And now, we are faced with the question: what do we carry forward?

Of course, the final degree of Pisces is not merely “the end” – but a threshold, a final merging of form and formlessness before we step into a new incarnation of self. This is where the old dissolves, but also where the seed of the new takes shape.

1° Aries – “A Woman Has Risen Out Of The Ocean, A Seal Is Embracing Her”

This is a powerful birth image – the emergence of individual consciousness from the collective unconscious. 

A spark of identity is being born out of the vast Piscean ocean of unity, dreams, and spirit. It’s primal, raw, instinctive, and infused with vital life force. 

The woman rising represents the first flicker of “I AM” – the soul taking form. The seal, a creature of both land and sea, reminds us that even in our becoming, we remain connected to where we’ve come from.

We do not enter Aries empty – we emerge from the ocean of Pisces transformed, still wet from the waters of what was, but ready to define who we are.

To work with these Sabian symbols, close your eyes and visualize the 2 Sabian Symbols: first, the majestic rock formation, and woman rising from the ocean, embraced by the seal. 

Let these images speak, and simply observe any thoughts, feelings, or subtle insights that arise – these messages carry your own Neptune, as you prepare to cross this powerful threshold.

Neptune in Aries – Natal Chart Influence

At an individual level, this is an incredibly significant shift. Neptune moves out of a house or area of life that has been in focus for the past 14 years and enters a completely new terrain. What once felt like the dominant theme in your life will begin to fade, and a new area of life will gently come into focus.

Neptune is where we are asked to reinvent, surrender, and allow the current of life to carry us to new places. 

Neptune is where change happens – not always through dramatic events like Pluto or Uranus might bring, but through a subtle, ongoing rewiring of how we perceive, value, and engage with that area of life. 

Neptune slowly transforms us from within, so we find deeper alignment with what we truly value, even if we can’t put it into words.

For example, if Neptune in Pisces has been transiting your 10th house, your ideas around career, public image, and success may have subtly morphed. 

Back in 2011, when Neptune first entered Pisces and your 10th house, you might have defined success in more conventional or image-driven terms: holding a prestigious job title, being known as “the entertainer of the group,” “the perfect mom,” or “the respected lawyer.” 

But by the end of this Neptune transit, you may discover that what brings you true fulfillment looks and feels completely different.

If you look back, perhaps there was no single, defining moment when your values shifted. It was more like a series of gentle waves, reshaping your shoreline little by little. 

That’s how Neptune works. It seduces you into evolution, often without you even realizing it – until one day, you’re standing on different ground.

Now that Neptune enters a new whole sign house in your chart, the same process will begin – only in a new area of life. 

For example, if it’s your 11th house, the focus may turn to your social networks, communities, hopes, and ideals for the future. This will be a long, dreamlike unfolding. 

And while Neptune never gives us a clear map, we can still set an intention and ask the universe:

• How can I remain open to a spiritual reimagining of this part of my life?
• What are my ideal visions in this domain?
• What truly matters to me here – and how might that change?

The sign change from Pisces to Aries is also crucial. If in the past 14 years our Neptunian process was more receptive – allowing insight to flow in through dreams, surrender, or stillness – Neptune in Aries now calls for engagement. 

Aries wants to act, initiate, and carve its own path. So in this next chapter, the transformation will come through participation. Through doing. Through being willing to step into the unknown with courage.

The house Neptune is transiting in your chart will play a central role, because that’s where this inner reorientation will unfold over time. 

And the aspects Neptune makes to your natal planets during this journey will offer additional layers – highlighting moments of confusion, revelation, release, or inspiration. Pay attention to those moments. They’re not random. They’re part of a divine arc.

As Neptune prepares to cross the threshold and begin a new 165-year cycle around the zodiac, ask yourself:

• Where in my life do I need to press the “RESET” button?
• Where am I ready to let go of old illusions, and make space for a truer dream to take form?
• In the midst of the chaos – and the mist of Neptune’s ocean – what new chapter is silently emerging?

Let your inner compass guide you toward that answer. While Neptune never gives clear directions, it always leaves clues for those who listen with the heart.

On March 29th, 2025, we have a New Moon and partial Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries speaks of a new beginning. This is a North Node Solar Eclipse, highlighting opportunities to come clean with the past and consciously shape the future.

Yet…

9° Aries is the same degree where Mercury turned retrograde 2 weeks ago on March 15th, 2025, and just 1 degree away from 10° Aries – where Venus turned retrograde earlier this month, on March 7th, 2025.

There’s something about the 9-10° Aries zone that is being strongly activated this month – like a cosmic reset button – a call to rewrite karma and shape our destiny.

What’s even more striking is that at the time of the New Moon, Mercury (at 0° Aries) is conjunct Neptune (at 29° Pisces), basically bridging the last and the first degree of the zodiac, the alpha and the omega – the end and the beginning woven into one moment in time. 

New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – Rewriting The Script

This mix of revisiting-the-past energy (Mercury and Venus retrograde, Neptune at 29° Pisces) and the future-oriented spark of the New Moon Eclipse in Aries brings to mind “Back to the Future” – a cosmic Marty McFly moment where fate meets free will.

In this movie, Marty (the main character/hero/Aries archetype) travels to the past and accidentally alters his parents’ relationship. 

He spends the rest of the movie trying to fix the timeline – and ultimately, he improves his family’s future in ways he couldn’t have imagined.

The journey is not without chaos and complication – yet by going back into the past, his life – and the lives of those he loves – shift for the better.

And while we might not be able to step into a time machine like Marty McFly, there are other ways we can revisit and reframe the past to improve our future.

Science has shown that neural pathways can be rewired – hello, Mercury retrograde. And that by re-assigning new personal meaning to our stories and emotional memories (Venus retrograde), we can create new stories from the same past. 

There’s no denying that difficult experiences leave an imprint – and this is not about fooling ourselves into pretending the pain never happened. 

Yet, it’s worth considering that neurologically, the human mind is wired to prioritize and store negative experiences more vividly than positive ones – meaning we may start with an unconscious negative bias.

If we go back – reflect, reframe, reprocess – we almost always discover a silver lining, a hidden insight, a piece of gold in the mud.

The same ‘reality’ can be experienced in completely different ways, depending on the lens we choose to look through.

“Two men looked out through prison bars – one saw mud, the other stars.”

There are ways – and ways – to overcome the mind’s negative bias and bring balance. One is to assign new, more nuanced meaning to the past; another is to simply write a different past. The mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s imagined and what actually happened.

This is what practices like miracle thinking – or manifestation techniques like The Secret – are based on. 

When we tell ourselves things like “I am successful,” “I am healthy,” the mind begins to do the background work (Pisces) to fill the gap between the current identity and our envisioned reality.

Can we change our past? Absolutely. By rewiring the way we store and relate to memories – by telling a new story.

And that’s what rewriting our karma truly is: a new beginning, built on a re-interpretation of the past.

New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – The Aspects

This New Moon Eclipse is almost unaspected, with a loose conjunction to Mercury retrograde (at 0° Aries) and a loose sextile to Pluto (at 3° Aquarius).

Unaspected planets are wild cards. This is where we can feel disoriented – because there are no other planets to give us guidance, to provide structure, to define the rules – yet, this is exactly where the opportunity for free will lies.

When there are no planetary aspects to tell us what to think or do, what’s left is to tune inwards and find the answer there. This is the real thing. This is the real YOU – beyond conditioning, beyond inherited scripts.

The eclipse ruler, Mars, is beautifully aspected: it trines the Saturn-Mercury-North Node-Neptune conjunction in Pisces and sextiles Uranus in Taurus. 

The eclipse chart carries a quiet yet undeniable message of hope – and the fact that Neptune moves into Aries literally the next day gives us the reassurance that while things may feel uncertain now, this transition is ultimately for our greater good.

The possibilities of the future are limitless – but if we want a different future, we must be willing to revisit and rewire the past.

New Moon Solar Eclipse In Aries – Back To The Future 

Many people fear revisiting the past because they worry they’ll get sucked into the black hole of regret, guilt, or pain. 

However, if we go back into the past with – very important – the intention to improve our future, we might uncover opportunities we initially missed, because we were not ready, aware, or resourced at the time.

The key is to be intentional.

I’m doing this for myself.

I’m doing this for a better tomorrow.

I have what it takes to alchemize this. I can do this.

This is not delusion or arrogance – this is the sacred blend of Aries’ courage and initiative with Pisces’ faith that the universe is ultimately on our side – that we can co-create with the universe through the meeting of divine consciousness and free will.

So…
How would your present life look if you could go back and rewrite the narrative of your past? 

What doors could that unlock today? What strengths, talents, or opportunities might emerge if your past no longer defined your limits – but became the foundation of your power?

And what about your future?

What new possibilities could this journey back into the past open up – in your work, your purpose, your relationships, your potential to create success on your terms?

• Astrology transits
• Solar Eclipse

What a month March was! April 2025 picks up where the deep Pisces waters left off, with both Mercury and Venus going direct in the sign, followed by a rare Saturn-North Node conjunction at nearly the same degree.

Everything is happening between 25-27° of Pisces – forming a very tight stellium at the very end of the zodiac belt!

Something is brewing, shrouded in Piscean mist. But you can bet that beyond the haze, things are getting real. Saturn will make sure that whatever emerges is rooted in karmic truth.

But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

April 3rd, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct North Node

On April 3rd, 2025, Mercury retrograde conjuncts the North Node at 27° Pisces. 

Pay attention to any messages rising from the unconscious. Dreams, flashes of intuition, sudden memories – these are not random – they made their way to your consciousness for a reason. They carry an important message for you.

April 7th, 2025 – Mercury Goes Direct

On April 7th, 2025, Mercury goes direct at 26° Pisces. This station is SUPER interesting because Mercury is conjunct Venus, the North Node, AND Saturn! Talk about big revelations.

Mercury – now direct – has all the information it needs. The puzzle is coming together. There’s a new vision emerging from the fog – one that is grounded, purposeful, and aligned with your soul’s growth.

April 7th, 2025 – Venus Conjunct Saturn

But wait, there’s more to the Pisces saga. On April 7th, 2025, Venus is conjunct Saturn at 25° Pisces. 

Venus is still retrograde – but she’s now ready to make soul-aligned vows. Venus now knows that in order to build a better tomorrow, she needs to make that commitment first. 

The commitment comes first – not the other way around. 

April 12th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct Chiron 

On April 12th, 2025, the Sun is conjunct Chiron at 22° Aries. Sun conjunct Chiron is that time of the year when the Sun (our core consciousness) meets our inner teacher (Chiron).

Chiron’s role is to guide us toward the highest version of the Self – beyond ego, beyond the illusion of separation. 

And the way Chiron works its magic is rarely comfortable. Our ego might get a bit bruised. Sun conjunct Chiron is a transit when old wounds of abandonment and insignificance resurface. 

But if we dig deeper, we’ll find that these triggers hold the keys to healing and self-acceptance. And this newfound wholeness, in turn, will help us unlock our greatest potential.

April 12th, 2025 – Venus Goes Direct

On April 12th, 2025, Venus goes direct at 24° Pisces. What a heroine’s journey this has been!

Venus has taken us to the depths of the underworld (or more thematic for Pisces, the bottom of the ocean) to help us rediscover what really matters to us. 

To see beyond false desires, beyond instant gratification, beyond what we think we want, and reconnect with what we really want. Now we know, and we’re ready to move to the next level (Venus conjunct Saturn).

April 12th, 2025 – Full Moon In Libra

On April 12th, 2025, we have a Full Moon at 23° Libra. The Full Moon is tightly opposite Chiron (at 23° Aries), square Mars (at 27° Cancer), and trine Jupiter (at 17° Gemini).

The Full Moon in Libra brings to light early wounds of abandonment (Chiron) and the walls and defense mechanisms we might have built as a form of self-protection (Mars in Cancer).

Perhaps in the process we’ve become the man or lady in the tower, guarding our hearts, sabotaging our relationships, rejecting others before they can reject us first. 

But there is hope (Jupiter in Gemini). If we open up a little, if we show our vulnerabilities, we can create real connections. 

April 16th, 2025 – Mercury Enters Aries

On April 16th, 2025, Mercury enters Aries. 

This is not the usual bold, headstrong Mercury we typically associate with Aries. Why? Because soon after the ingress, Mercury conjuncts Neptune at 0° Aries. 

Mercury still has that Aries drive and confidence, however this time it is animated by a higher inspiration; it doesn’t come across as blunt or impulsive, but visionary.

What’s very interesting about this ingress is that this is the second time Mercury meets Neptune. 

The first time the 2 met was a few weeks ago, at 29°59’ Pisces – the very last degree of the zodiac – and now they meet again at 0° Aries, the very first degree of the zodiac. 

Does this feel like divine orchestration? Surely is. After meeting to close a chapter, Mercury and Neptune now come together to start a new one. This is significant!

Pay attention to any inspirations, ideas, longings, or opportunities that come your way. This might be much bigger than you think – not necessarily right away, but down the line.

April 18th, 2025 – Mars Enters Leo

On April 18th, 2025, Mars leaves Cancer and enters Leo. 

It feels like Mars has spent an eternity in Cancer, pushing us to confront our defense mechanisms – those subtle, sometimes insidious ways we protect ourselves when our sense of security is threatened. 

We may have found ourselves retreating into our shells, lashing out, or – a Mars in Cancer classic – resorting to passive-aggressive tactics to manage the emotional ebb and flow of Cancer’s watery terrain, which – let’s be honest – isn’t always easy to navigate in a clear, direct way.

But now we’ve learned a thing or two about navigating our emotions – about honoring them in a way that feels authentic.

Now it’s time for a new Mars chapter. And Mars in Leo is a totally different one. In Leo, Mars is ready to roll! 

Perhaps not right away – it still has to clear an intense opposition to Pluto over the next 10 days or so – but eventually Mars in Leo will bring us the energy, drive, and courage to help us pursue what matters. 

April 19th, 2025 – Sun Enters Taurus

On April 19th, 2025, the Sun enters Taurus. Happy birthday to all the Tauruses out there! 

Taurus season is that time of the year when we slow down and reconnect with the beauty of nature. In the Northern Hemisphere, the flowers are blooming and the earth feels alive again. In the Southern Hemisphere, the crisp air and changing leaves remind us to savor the richness of the present moment. 

No matter where you are, this is a time to ground yourself and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

April 21st, 2025 – Saturn Conjunct North Node

On April 21st, 2025, Saturn is conjunct the North Node at 26° Pisces. 

This is the highlight transit of the month – and one of the most important of the year – for the simple reason that it happens rather rarely, about once a decade. 

So when these 2 karmic forces meet, it’s quite a big deal. Even more so now, since the Saturn-North Node conjunction is also tied into the larger Pisces stellium – so this one will feel deeply personal and fated. 

A dedicated report about the Saturn-North Node conjunction will follow closer to the date.

April 27th, 2025 – New Moon In Taurus

On April 27th, 2025, we have a New Moon at 7° Taurus. 

This is an intense New Moon because it squares the Mars-Pluto opposition (3-4° Leo/Aquarius). This marks the culmination of the Mars-Pluto opposition transit – the peak of a series of 3 exact oppositions over the past months. 

The New Moon signals a new beginning. The foundations of our life (Taurus) will be tested. The question is – are these foundations a real, authentic expression of who we truly are? 

Because if not, then it’s time for change. And much better to do it willingly – because what needs to happen will happen regardless. As Jung famously said, “what is not made conscious will be experienced as fate.”

Something you’ve been resisting – perhaps because it felt safe, or because it was too uncomfortable to question – is now up for renewal. Chances are, given the prolonged Mars-Pluto tension in recent months, there’s at least a part of you that knows that something needs to change. 

But this New Moon doesn’t have to feel like the Tower card in Tarot. We can use the tremendous force of Mars and Pluto to make the necessary changes deliberately. It will take courage – but on the other side is major relief and forward momentum.

P.S. If you think the astrology of April is intense… wait until May. That’s when Saturn joins Neptune in Aries, sealing the deal on a major energetic shift. A dedicated report will be released closer to that date.
