Neptune Enters Aries for the First Time in 150 Years and Life-Changing Shifts Are in Store
Neptune enters Aries for the first time in over a century on March 30, marking the beginning of a new cycle of inspiration
Prepare for a monumental moment in the cosmos!
On March 30, just a day after the solar eclipse, Neptune will officially enter Aries for the first time in over a century. A life-changing and transformative event, this marks the beginning of a new cycle of inspiration, where our dreams and spiritual quests take on a more autonomous and empowered tone.
Since 2011, Neptune has been in its home sign of Pisces, guiding us to connect with our intuition, embrace our spiritual gifts and surrender to the mysterious ebbs and flows of life. During this time, we learned how to navigate themes of closure and endings as Neptune shed light on what no longer served us and our spiritual evolution.
Generational planets like Neptune shape the collective consciousness, influencing cultural shifts that ripple through society over decades. As Neptune journeyed through Pisces' Mutable and all-encompassing waters, we saw the rise of social media — a platform based on connection, expression and creative collaboration. Neptune rules the lens, media and all forms of visual storytelling, and this transit birthed an era of connectivity.
However, like everything, the influence of Neptune also has a shadow side — deception, illusion and the tendency for things to not always be as they seem. So, while we saw the rise of social media with Neptune in Pisces — the careful curation of images and stories — it simultaneously blurred the lines between reality and fantasy.

As Neptune moves into Aries’ fiery territory, the focus shifts to the self — our identity, our personal desires and the evolution of who we truly are at our core. In this Fire sign, Neptune signals a fresh start and an opportunity to move forward with a clear sense of self.
Neptune in Aries asks us bigger questions — what calls to you? What feels aligned with your truth? It will serve as a reminder to trust our intuition, so we can ultimately navigate life more instinctually and authentically.
When considering its effect on the collective, it’s important to note that the last time Neptune transited Aries — between 1861 and 1875 — was during the start of the American Civil War. This period of time was marked by intense conflict, the fight for freedom and a collective reimagining of identity.
As Neptune moves through Aries once again, we can expect a surge of individualism, a desire to break free from old systems and a cultural shift toward personal empowerment. This transit may inspire bold new movements and an awakening of collective consciousness around justice and autonomy.
In addition to validating your gifts and intuition, Neptune in Aries will help you step into leadership and guide the way forward, even if that means taking one for the team. In the meantime, remember to trust the journey you’ve been on and the strength you’ve gained along the way.
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.
