  • Saturn conj Neptune in Aries part II

    Picture of the Saturn, Neptune and Aries Star Cards
    Because of course I will show these babies off any chance I get 😻

    This year, in 2025, the world will see a bunch of changes in planetary energy (which translates to things feeling different Earth-side). One of the big collective transits that will take place is the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries. Not only does this NOT happen very often (roughly every 36 years), but BOTH of these planets will have just moved into Aries when this takes place (meaning there is a whole bunch of “new” with this one).

    Disclaimer: When looking at astroweather (transits), including transit Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries, you HAVE to take YOUR OWN ASTROLOGY CHART into consideration to know HOW a transit might play out personally for you. If you want some help with that, you can get a reading from me by clicking on this text.

    Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026
    -Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign
    -Saturn has an orbital period of roughly 29 years. It spends 2.5 years in a sign
    -Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1953 in Libra.

    Over this past week I have had more thoughts come to me about transit Saturn conjunct transit Neptune in Aries (my first post on this topic can be found by clicking on this text). So lolololol without further ado, here they are:

    Lowered Expectations logo
    lolololololol 😂🤣 jk (kind of…)

    Expectations (Neptune territory) also come up when I think about Saturn and Neptune coming together. Specifically, I think of “lowered expectations” or “limited expectations” because of Saturn. Is this a bad thing? No. I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily to lower expectations…. especially considering how the world seems to be functioning now-a-days. Does this mean that you cease to have any expectations? No, it doesn’t. But, if we lower our expectations it is harder to be disappointed (and again, with the state of the world anymore, I don’t think that’s a bad thing). While I made mention in the first post about this subject that this conjunction can give the ability to dream build (and I do think that’s the case – I’m not totally negative here 🤣), I also think there is SOMETHING as well about lowering/limiting expectations (and this tying into the dream building). Like, if you lower/limit your expectations, it does allow a release for some of the pressure that might come along while actively building your dreams (whatever that might be). Aries energy can be “ass on fire” and “pressuring” (and Saturn can be “pressing,” lol) so the Neptunian release is very useful here.

    Authority/government subversion and weakness seems like another possible thing (along with the government/those in authority acting subversively themselves against some kind of leadership, along with the government/authority being weakened in some way). Authority and government are Saturnian expressions while subversion, weakening/weakness are Neptunian expressions, and leadership is Aries energy. There is historical precedent to what I’m saying – in 1989 we saw plenty of this stuff. All across eastern Europe (countries that were behind the Iron Curtain), countries saw their governments fall apart due to being weakened and even government subversion in some cases. Now, this was going on in Capricorn in 1989, which, while Capricorn is resilient energy, it doesn’t fight in the same way that Aries energy puts up a fight. This makes me think that any governments we see showing signs of falling apart (whether literally or figuratively), those governments/people in authority are NOT going to go down without a massive firefight.
    –We are already seeing ripples of this across the world as I’m writing this in mid-June 2025.

    Toxins are something that I keep thinking about in relation to this conjunction. Neptune has domain over toxins….but so does Saturn. I started thinking about the different plants that Saturn has rulership over for a completely unrelated reason (a lot of which are toxic), which got me to thinking about Saturn and toxins. Sure enough, the Rulership Book has BOTH Saturn and Neptune listed next to “toxins, that which is toxic, toxemia & toxic complaints” (Pluto and Scorpio are also listed). Now, we all know that there are so many toxins in the world around us. These can be found in the air that we breathe, in the food that we eat, etc. (especially here in the US – this might not be as much of an issue in other parts of the world). This really gets me thinking about the different ways that the self (Aries) comes into contact with these toxins on an everyday basis and what we might realize about toxicity in general under this conjunction. In 1989, the last time that transit Saturn and Neptune were conjunct one another (in Capricorn), the Toxic Release Inventory was established. This required certain types of manufacturing and industry to report the chemicals & toxins that were released into the environment. In 1953, the second-to-last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another (this time in Libra), the first poison control center was set up in Chicago (because so many children were ending up poisoned by, what seems like, the world around them). So…I guess the good thing about this particular conjunction is that it does seem to be a catalyst for things changing regarding toxicity in our environment/becoming more aware of such things (both on a collective and personal level). But it’s how much toxic shit is found that is concerning (or that could be found). 
    –To kind of add on to the idea of toxicity with the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, I have to wonder if not only we will be tasked with facing the different toxins in the environment, but also facing ways that we have been toxic to ourselves (again, since Aries energy deal with “the self”). This could be ways that we have literally introduced ourselves to toxins, but also ways that we ourselves can be toxic (this could take place on both an individual and/or collective level). 

    The idea of “real fake(s)” (or some kind of blending of “real” and “fake”) appears to be on the agenda. What do you consider to be real, and what do you consider to be fake? And not even what you consider to be real and fake – what the hell do the concepts of “real” and “fake” mean, anyway? The lines are blurring all over the place! Saturn deals in what’s real (and reality) while Neptune deals with what’s fake (and stuff like that). When I think about this particular element of Saturn conjunct Neptune my mind goes to AI (which has exploded in the past few years). Do I think we will see even more energy behind this….AI things that blur the lines between the real and unreal (almost to the point that we can’t even tell the fucking difference anymore)? Yeah, I do. If it doesn’t matter to you personally if something is real or fake, then this won’t be a problem for you (not everyone gives a shit about this). If you are the kind of person that the possibility of this bothers then start educating yourself on the “tells” (because AI does have tells that give away something was AI created).
    –There is also the notion of creative (Neptune) excellence (Saturn) that comes up for me, too. While there is a massive benefit to AI (definitely NOT knocking it), we are also seeing AI replace human creative excellence at an exponential rate (or what feels that way to me). Instead of people writing things themselves they are having chatGPT or whatever write it for them. Instead of people creating their own works of art they are having Midjourney do it for them…this is the kind of shit I’m talking about. I almost wonder if down the line human creative excellence (such as the things that people create) will be worth more than their AI counterparts. That would be WAY down the line, though (probably)…..especially the more intellectual property issues that come up with AI (and I’d bet a little money that this will be a thing).
    –Reality might also continue to be stranger than fiction under this transit…which would follow suit with how the world has been the past 10 years. Though, with this going on in Aries, it might have a whole bunch of oomph behind it.

    Unhappiness hitting a sort of breaking point also seems like something that could be involved with Saturn conjunction Neptune (as the concept of “unhappiness” is considered under the domain of Saturn and the 12th House; 12th House has an affinity for Neptune energy). Now, that’s not to say that everyone is going to be unhappy under this particular transit – that would be ridiculous to say. However, there is much going on in the world at large that could make a person unhappy, and with this transit going on in Aries it’s not going to be people just bitching about what makes them unhappy but actually DOING something about what makes them unhappy. The “doing something” or action could be a really good thing individually and/or collectively, but it could also be a really bad thing individually and/or collectively. From an historical perspective, we saw this same kind of thing happen when the Saturn & Neptune conjunction happened in 1989 in Capricorn with the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Chinese students (among others) tired of the government’s bullshit and ending up massacred).  
    –We are already seeing this come about in the US right now (minus the massacre part). This weekend (as I’m writing this) there have been several protests in different cities with people making it known loud and clear how unhappy they are with the state of things in the US and how unhappy they are with Trump’s policies. I imagine that once Uranus enters Gemini (making a mini-trine between Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn/Neptune in Aries) in a few weeks we will see even more action like this (maybe about different things, but action none-the-less). While I am giving a US current-event example here, this isn’t just a US thing – I would expect to see this kind of thing pop up all over the world. 

  • Transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries

    Because lol of course I’m gunna show these beauties off 😻

    For those that prefer to watch videos over reading, here is a YouTube video I did on this same topic

    Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026

    -Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1952 in Libra.

    Let’s talk first about WHAT the planets Saturn & Neptune want/need to express and HOW Aries energy might express itself

    Some “keywords” for what Saturn may express:

    BoundariesThe MasterReality
    StructureAuthority (of all kinds)Testing
    “Father Time”/DaddyBuildingStructure

    Some “keywords” for what Neptune may express:

    No BoundariesDissolutionIllusions/Delusions
    DreamsSpiritualityConspiracy
    UnconsciousDistortionManifesting

    Some “keywords” for how Aries Energy may express:

    DirectBeginningSelf-Focused
    ActionPassionDrive
    FearAggressionWill
    When you think about transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries, what are the first thoughts that come to your mind? When I think about this conjunction, these are what come to mind first:

    The conjunction between Transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries could cause an aggressive (Aries) dissolution (Neptune) of structures (Saturn) that are in place. While Saturn was in Pisces there was already a sense of structures dissolving, but it didn’t have the kind of force that Saturn & Neptune in Aries has behind it. On a collective level, we might find that structures that we have in place just don’t work anymore and need to be dissolved…so a new beginning can take place. It’s also possible that structures that we have in place that DO work also end up a casualty of this dissolving process (which is…concerning). The same sort of thing might occur on an individual level for people – if there are structures that you have in place in your own life that are in a process of dissolving (and they are structures that don’t really benefit you), the addition of Aries energy in the mix feels like it gives the energy necessary to do just this.

    As silly as this might sound, the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries bestows the ability for dream (Neptune) building (Saturn) to actively occur (Aries). What is it that you dream of being able to build for yourself that really lights you up/that you feel passionate about? These are the kinds of things that can be “built” during this period of time (or at the very least the pieces can be placed on the board to be “arranged” later). In many cases of this, I suspect that structures will have to dissolve before the dream building can happen (this may not be universal, but a lot of the time things have to end before something else can begin creation).

    There is also the idea of boundaries with this conjunction, or rather, what the fuck are boundaries anyway? Saturn is a planet that expresses (and enforces) boundaries. Neptune, on the other hand, doesn’t know what the hell a boundary is or what to do with one. Through recent history, we’ve seen the issue of physical boundaries brought into the equation during Saturn/Neptune conjunctions. On November 9, 1989 (a few days before the exactitude between Saturn & Neptune in Capricorn) the world saw the fall of the Berlin Wall. On July 27, 1953 when Saturn & Neptune were fucking each other in Libra (again, right around the time of the exactitude), the armistice agreement between North & South Korea occurred which created the DMZ that still exists today. This is essentially a military stalemate – lol Libra energy and not being able to make a fucking decision 🤣. We need to be watching different boundaries across the world right now. India and Pakistan (which I’ve mentioned a few times in different YouTube videos over the years) seems particularly hot for something to arise. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we see some kind of boundary dissolution occur under the Saturn/Neptune conjunction this time around.
    **On an individual level, you might find that the boundaries you already have in place seem to dissolve (or they might be forced to dissolve – Aries is so forceful). You might also question what/where/why you have certain boundaries in place to begin with….and question if the walls need to come tumbling down.

    These cards from The Illuminati Card Game come to mind when I think of this conjunction
    ….because of course they do!

    Time Warping is ABSOLUTELY a Saturn conjunct Neptune thing (and in Aries there will be certain kind of “oomph” to it). Have any of y’all out there noticed that not only does time feel like it is speeding up, but that it also just feels….warped/distorted? I don’t want to say that it feels “wrong” (that’s not accurate to say), but just…..sideways? Or twisted inside out and spit back out? Saturn is “father-time” (and “daddy” lol) while Neptune can express itself so confused and clouded that time ends up distorted (or like we all somehow ended up on a fucked-up timeline). I would imagine that these kinds of feelings (time speeding up and time being warped/distorted) will continue in some capacity throughout the summer of 2025 and into 2026 once both Saturn and Neptune are back in Aries again (these will both Rx into Pisces in autumn). Another thing about time warping/distortion – the very nature of reality feels like it’s being called into question. People all over the place are starting to question the possible distortion (Neptune) of the reality (Saturn) in which we live on a collective level (people also seem to be questioning this individually, too). It also seems like being able to manifest (Neptune) reality (Saturn) in a way that works for the individual (Aries) could be a way that this transit comes about (and, really, is a fantastic way to work with the energy of the planets involved).
    **It’s not a fucked up timeline, and it’s EXACTLY where we are all supposed to be…for whatever reason.

    The Hat Trick card could mean different things depending on the interpreter. I think of it, like, no one really knows what the fuck is going on and there are constantly distractions and “tricks” done in front of us to keep us in the dark, keep us confused, and maybe even to keep us distorted.

    lolololololololol
    This card needs no explanation 😂

    Do I wear a tin-foil hat at times? Absolutely. Not the “flat earth” kind of tin-foil hat, but definitely other kinds of tin-foil hats (like ET’s 👽and conspiracies within/about governments around the world and shit like that). Why am I bringing this up? Because conspiracy IS a thing that Neptune might express (Pluto is another planet that can express this, too)….and Saturn might express things like literal authority and government. So, with the Saturn & Neptune conjunction, we have the possibility of government (Saturn) conspiracy (Neptune). In Aries, this could point towards a new-beginning or “era” of such things…or these kinds of things having a lot of energy/action behind them. Let’s get real – governments around the world are constantly fucking around and on their bullshit. I could rattle off a bunch of fucked up shit that the US government has done around the world throughout it’s history (and on American soil), things that would have been labeled as a “conspiracy theory” when they were going on but are now known as fact.
    ….This brings me to something going on RIGHT NOW in June 2025 – the glorious crash and burn breakup between Trump and Musk. As entertaining as it has been to watch this play out this past week, I do have to wonder how authentic & legitimate this breakup is in the first place? Like, don’t get me wrong – I can absolutely see alien and predator publicly going at it the way that they are (it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility for these two dorks). At the same time, though, it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that this is all a fucking HAT TRICK to distract the American people (and the rest of the world who are, I’m sure, laughing at our asses) from something else entirely. I fully expect there to be more shit like this that happens in the US (and across the world) while Saturn and Neptune are fucking one another in Aries.

  • Transit Saturn in Aries (2025-2028)

    I don’t know about y’all, but I am SO GLAD that transit Saturn has moved out of Pisces, and now we have transit Saturn in Aries. It doesn’t even matter to me that Saturn is in fall in Aries – I’m just glad Saturn is out of Pisces…where it can jerk off (which is not how Saturn wants to function anyway). Even though Saturn is in fall in Aries, and it might take a little longer to get stuff done, it DOES eventually get the stuff it needs to get done, done.

    Of course I’m going to show off the Star Cards when the opportunity arrises

    Some themes that might come up under this transit

    Delays in taking action/frustrated in taking action
    -If you feel like there are things that you want to do, or things that you are trying to do, but you feel like you are being restricted from doing them…stop and ask yourself if these things that you want to do are actually things your ass needs to be doing in the first place. We tend to look at delays and Saturnian “challenges” as negative things, but as frustrating as they may be they aren’t always negative. Sometimes – and I really DO believe this – Saturn is causing “delays” or “restrictions” to keep you from doing something that may not behoove you or turn out well (or be in your best interest/highest good to do). What the individual (and the collective) needs to watch for is feeling restricted/frustrated from taking action for so long that one just starts popping off and doing whatever it can versus waiting to do what one (or the collective) actually wants to do. 

            Mastery of the Self
         (probably through the self being “tested”)
    This is probably the very best way to utilize the energies involved with this transit, for Saturn is “mastery” (or “the master”) and Aries energy is self-focused. Taking the time that this transit is going on to master your sense of self seems like a productive way to work with the energy. For instance, if you find yourself embroiled in some kind of “test” (or what might feel like a test – Saturn loves to “test”), ask yourself what kind of self-mastery could/can be obtained through this test or this lesson. That doesn’t make the testing any easier (lol) but it might help make it more bearable. It’s also not bullshit – Saturn does test, but it also doesn’t do anything without a purpose of some kind (so it’s not just testing a person, or the collective, for funsies). 
    **Self-authority also falls under this umbrella.

                         Limited/Restricted Leadership
                    (also, perhaps, the “fall” of governmental leadership)
    During this period, transit Saturn might directly impact those in government (Saturn can express “authority” and government can absolutely fall under the concept of “authority”). This isn’t limited to the US, either (I only make that comment because I am in the US and some of my posts where government is concerned are more US-centric). Depending on where you fall politically, this could be viewed as a really good thing or a really bad thing (or you could be like me and feel like the notion of “political parties” are all bullshit and theater). I could see there being delays and restrictions with leadership in different places.  

               Testing of Freedom/Independence/Patience 
              (and even testing how fearless or fearful we are)
    Under transit Saturn in Aries we might find that our freedom, independence, and or impatience (or patience) is tested by different people, places, things, and situations that come into our orbit (individually and/or collectively). There is definitely enough going on in the world right now (and even before transit Saturn moved into Aries) to test people on an individual and collective level. This transit could push a person/people to decide where the boundaries are with what will and will not be tolerated. There might be times that it doesn’t feel like boundaries can be enforced at all (or like it’s not even worth it to try and enforce them). Don’t take this route – it’s always worth it to lay down boundaries, especially if the boundaries that need to be laid down would help you (or the collective) to feel more free and independent.

    Delayed Anger
    There is also the idea of delayed anger with transit Saturn in Aries. How can this manifest? It could be that something that happened years ago that should have made you/the collective angry (or DID make you/the collective angry) comes popping up to say “HELLO!” needing to be dealt with under this transit. It could also mean that things which happen under this current transit Saturn in Aries period that should make you/the collective angry (or that DO make you/the collective angry) may not be “dealt” with for years down the line.

    Because I’m a history-slut, lololol, we’ve gotta look at the history just a little bit.

    First and foremost, think back to the last time that transit Saturn was in Aries. Some of you all reading this post may not have been alive yet (or might be too young to remember what was going on for you), but for those of you that are old enough to remember, think back to what was going on for you personally from April 1996 through June 1998 and again from October 1998 through March 1999. Obviously, things were different almost 30 years ago (planets transiting different signs, etc.), but whatever Saturn in Aries themes were coming up for you back then might come up for you again in the present-era Saturn in Aries transit. For instance, during this period I was starting my first “business” of buying and selling Beanie Babies 🤣. This sounds goofy, lol, but at 9 years old I was finding retired & hard to find Beanies Babies and re-selling them for a (small) profit. It was also during this period that I became treasurer of the student council in elementary school. It was really cool; I got to be a part of an all-girl group of student council leadership. 

    On a collective level, there was plenty that was going on in the world at the time. Here are some of the “highlights”: 
    -Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal (and his impeachment trial) 
    -Hong Kong given back to China
    -Hebron Protocol
    -Increase in home-computer ownership (big jump from 1990 to 1996/1997)
    **this last one is particularly interesting to me because it took place when Saturn had moved into Aries AND Uranus had just moved into Aquarius. Now, in the present day, we’re seeing Saturn move into Aries again, and this time Uranus will have just moved into Gemini. 

    I will definitely go more into the above in a post that I’m currently writing with the working title “the summer of shit” 🤣. But! For now, let’s just say we can see the themes that came up almost 30 years ago MIGHT VERY WELL come around again in the present day (in a different yet “echo-ish” way) …and Saturn has just started his time in Aries.   

  • Transit Neptune in Aries from March 2025 through March 2039

    This year, in 2025, the world will see three planets (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) take up residence in new signs (I have gone into Uranus’ transition into Gemini here and here on the website). Not only that though, but Pluto did its final fuck around dance from Capricorn to Aquarius in November 2024 (even though Pluto won’t move into Aquarius in 2025 since it’s already there, the energy is so new that it may as well be counted here). Neptune entering Aries (lol “entering” hahaha) has been on my radar since December 2021 when I did a video about it for YouTube, but never did an astrological ramblings post about it…until now.
    **With all the energy shifts coming up this year if you would like for me to do an astrology reading for you, that can be done by clicking on this.
    **If you are more of a watcher than a reader, you can find the YouTube video on this same thing here.

    I’d like to mention that everyone wants to rag on Mars, Saturn, and Pluto transits, treating them like “villains” in the astrological story. While, yeah, those three can certainly can be villainous assholes (along with Uranus who enjoys stirring shit up), I don’t think Neptune gets quite the villain edit that it deserves (or the villain edit that I would give it). ALL the planets have their “light” and their “shadow,” but I think Neptune often has more of a shadow than people talk about.

    Let’s start this off with some dates:
    -Neptune enters Aries for the first time on March 30, 2025 through October 22, 2025 
    (Slips back into Pisces)
    -Neptune moves into Aries again from January 27, 2026 through May 22, 2038
    (moves into Taurus for the first time in 2038)
    -Neptune moves back into Aries for the last time from October 22, 2038 through March 24, 2039 
    (Neptune will firmly be in Taurus for the next 12 years) 
    **Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign**

    When you think about Neptune in Aries, what comes to your mind? I asked this same question 3 years ago when I did the original video on this subject. Let’s talk first about WHAT the planet Neptune wants/needs to express and HOW Aries energy might express itself:

    Shameless promotion of the Star Cards (the Neptune card and the Aries card, illustrating Transit Neptune in Aries)

    Some “keywords” for what Neptune may express:

    IdealismCloudingSpiritualityEscapeUnconsciousConfusion
    FaithLack of BoundariesIllusions & DelusionsNot Grounded & Unrealistic Martyrdom & Martyr-ComplexAddictions, Substances & Intoxicants
    OnenessDreamsCompassion & SensitivityFluid & 
    Adaptable    		ImprisonmentCreativity

    Some “keywords” for Aries Energy and how it may express:

    ImpulsiveFreedomIndependenceSelf-FocusedLeadershipInstinct
    DriveAction-OrientedFear (both Fearlessness & Fearfulness)New BeginningsExpressions of Will (and Willpower)Aggression & Anger 
    AssertiveGod of WarPassion & Desire
    (Animalistic)    		ImpetuousCompetitiveIndividuated


    When I think about that question now in early-2025 and seeing the way that the world seems to be going, the first things that come to my mind are:
    -Clouding/Confusion about (or surrounding) War and Fighting 
    -Illusions/Delusions of Independence and Freedom 
    -Manipulation by Leadership (and Leaders)….and leaders who are manipulated
    –Also, Confused Leadership seems like a very possible thing as well
    All of the above are more “challenging” in nature. There are “easy” or “positive” ways that this transit can go as well (I just don’t think we’re collectively there yet). Some of those ways could be:
    -Faith in New Beginnings
    -Creative New Frontiers
    -Spirituality through the Self
    **All transits have the possibility to be “easy,” “challenging,” and maybe even a little bit of both at different times**

    The thoughts that come to my mind are phrases like “What are we fighting for? Who are we fighting (and should we be fighting them in the first place)? Do we even fucking know anymore?” I think transit Neptune moving into Aries is going to bring up thoughts like this, eventually anyway (though, this might not happen until later in the 2020’s once transit Neptune has “settled” into Aries). As I’m writing this in early 2025, the entire world feels like it’s on the brink of war in a bunch of different places across the globe (some parts of the world are already engaged in conflict/have been engaged in conflict). Knowing who we are really fighting (and what we are fighting for), and breaking through any lack of clarity in this regard, seems really important.

    Confused Leadership (and confusion on who to look towards for leadership) also seems like a thing that may come up as Neptune moves into Aries. I mean, lol, here in the US we’re already there (we’ve been here a while, in my opinion 🤣). It seems likely that we will see this sort of thing pop up across the world more often, with leadership doing things that make a person go “wtf are they doing?!” We need to quit looking to these fucking assholes to “lead the way” that don’t know what they are doing anymore than anyone else (and we also need to know what the actual intentions/drives of those in power are). On the surface, what drives a person (or a leader/leadership) may appear to be one thing, but other things might be in play more than they seem. Appearances can be deceiving. This can be the case because the person/leadership/etc. doesn’t know what drives them in the first place, or because they have been bought and sold by someone/something else (but this is a WHOLE other conversation so I’ll stop here).
    -Another way to play with keywords for Neptune in Aries is Faith in Infants (Neptune expressing Faith and Aries energy expressing itself in an “infant” or “small child” kind of way). Makes me think of the lyrics “there is nothing more sadistic than an infant, waving his pistol in my face” from the Poe song Trigger Happy Jack 🤣. “You can’t talk to a psycho like a normal human being….”

    Faith in New Beginnings seems like it falls under the domain of transit Neptune in Aries. What are these new beginnings, exactly? Honestly, who the fuck even knows (and I could see this being a “good” thing or a “bad thing”… or maybe both 😂). While there is a need for new beginnings across so much of the world, new beginnings can also bring their own host of problems. Are we all (collectively and individually) putting faith in new beginnings (and the new) that are “positive,” or are we putting faith in the new simply because they are something/somewhere “new” to put our faith (because the old ways aren’t working/stopped working/etc.). New Beginnings can be a wonderful thing, but we all need to make sure that the new with which we involve ourselves is actually what we THINK it is.

    It seems like during this transit we might see an increase in spirituality through one’s sense of self (this particular thing could be a really cool). It could become seen as (even more) unnecessary for a middle man (like a priest) to connect someone to God (or the Creator); people might instead take more initiative in making this kind of connection themselves. Neptune also isn’t religious (generally speaking that’s what I consider to be shadow Jupiter & Sagittarius territory), which could allow for more spiritual independence to take place across the world.
    -I wouldn’t be surprised if we see even more people talking about “spiritual warfare” and things of that nature under the course of this transit. Do I believe in that personally? Hell, I don’t know. I certainly don’t believe in it in the way that evangelicals screech about it 🤣 but I do think it’s possible there are unseen things/forces (both of this world and not) waging war on humanity? Can’t rule out the possibility.

    Illusions and delusions of freedom and independence seem possible under the course of this transit, and perhaps trying to see through the fog of what freedom actually is and what actually makes a person free. Across the world slavery still exists in many different ways and with many different faces. While certain types of slavery are blatant (such as human trafficking – someone who is being trafficked is obviously NOT free), other types are less clear (such as someone being a slave to their job to keep their insurance benefits – they have the choice to work that job, supposedly, so are they really a slave?). I would argue that if you keep doing a job solely to have insurance, you ARE a slave to the job. Throughout the time of transit Neptune in Aries we will probably see questions like this come up even more (especially if history has anything to say about this transit).
    -What would be awesome to see transpire are more compassionate actions taken towards mankind in general and the notion of slavery (and ANY kind of slavery is a bad thing….and that the concept of slavery can wear many different faces).

    Creative new frontiers might also be a theme we see unfold under this transit. Neptune is super creative and new frontiers and pioneering are ways that Aries energy can express itself. We are already seeing this happen with the rise of using AI for art, music, and other mediums of creativity (which begs the question….is it really creative at all if a computer is generating the artwork, etc. for someone?). Either way, this is a new frontier in creativity that will only gain traction (imo) once Neptune moves into Aries. It will probably become even more important that people who are creative by trade be able to establish their creative work as made 100% by a person (for those that still do that).
    **There could even be a market for this, especially since we are constantly inundated by AI images that all kind of….look the same? I don’t know how to describe it exactly, but AI generated art tends to have a certain look to it that oftentimes makes me entirely uninterested in it 🤣

    To add a side note: I don’t know about all y’all, but shit has felt fucked on planet Earth since 2012…which is when Neptune entered Pisces “for good.” Really makes me wonder if *maybe* the Mayan’s were on to something with their predictions of the world ending in 2012. Obviously, the world didn’t end but I really do wonder if we jumped timelines or some shit. Either way nothing has felt remotely “normal” since 2011. Everything has felt fucking crazy, cloudy, and delusional (on the challenging end) and ALL throughout Neptune in Pisces I have been asking myself “is this shit really happening?” and “is this shit really real?” (both in terms of personal things AND collective happenings). Really, the whole damn period of time feels like some kind of fever dream. I have to wonder if there is a sense of waking up from this kind of fever dream that happens once Neptune enters Aries (or at least once Neptune has firmly settled into Aries).

  • Chiron’s Return in the United States

    Chiron Returns happens about every 48-52 years – this means that if someone lives to see 50 or so years old, they will experience transit Chiron “coming home” to it’s exact position in their natal chart. Same thing is true of countries – if a country exists beyond 48 to 52 years, it, too, will see a Chiron Return.
    **This article IS a repost, but since the original post is from January 11, 2022 and the algorithm likes “new” shit (and also because this post is relevant more than ever now), it’s getting reposted. If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a YouTube video I did on this topic. And as always, if you would like for me to read an astrology chart for you, you can get a reading by me here 🙂

    Chiron Returns bring up Chiron’s core wounding in a chart – forcing one to acknowledge the pain and wounding that exists there. This is made easier if the person (or if the country) has already put in some work to help heal their Chiron wounding before the Return happens. Even if work has already been put in on attempting to heal Chiron during previous times in one’s life, the Return serves as a benchmark to see just what you’ve learned (and to respond accordingly). The United States has actually had 4 Chiron Return previously, so the one coming up in the 2020’s is not our first rodeo. However, this one IS a little different in that it coincides with the US’s Pluto Return (it comes in hot on the heels of the apex of the Pluto Return), while also being boxed in with the US’s Uranian Return/Uranus entering Gemini. THESE factors do make this Chiron Return a little more unique (just by virtue of being sandwiched by two other massive transit events).

    For a timeline, Chiron’s Return will be going on from:
    -May 23, 2022 through September 15, 2022
    -March 23, 2023 through May 20, 2025
    -October 12, 2025 through March 22, 2026
    The reason for the time being broken up is because I use an orb of 5-degrees applying and separating between transit and natal Chiron, and during those breaks in time transit Chiron will be out of that 5-degree applying or separating orb with the US’s natal Chiron.

    Just for reference, Pluto’s Return is already going on from present through December 27, 2025 (this technically started in early 2020). Transit Pluto will be conjunct the US’s natal Pluto on February 20, 2022, July 12, 2022, and on December 27, 2022. Uranus will enter Gemini “for good” (not retrograding back into Taurus) on April 26, 2026. This puts Chiron’s Return right in the middle of all of this.

    The US has it’s natal Chiron at 20 Aries 08 in the 4th House. Since the US is dealing with a 4th House Chiron, it does feel to me that the wounding is very personal TO the US, specifically involving the homeland and/or the people. In Aries, this is going to deal with notions of independence, aggression, self-assurance (or even self-doubt), drive, and other Arian traits. Really, the 4th House can be rather “defensive” and Aries energy can be “offensive” – so this feels something like “the best defense is a good offense.” The US is very consumed with protecting the homeland, so this does seem like it fits. The US ALSO has it’s natal Saturn in Libra in the 10th House loosely opposite natal Chiron, which does make me think we are probably too busy playing world “peacemaker” or “negotiator” to be defensive about our own people (and the care of the people in this country) …..which also seems very apt (or defensive of our people in the “right” ways). The US is also very focused on notions of personal independence, Now, this isn’t a bad thing – there is nothing wrong with personal independence and there is nothing wrong with a country cherishing such a belief. It CAN be a problem, or wounding, for a country when personal independence is put before the welfare of ALL the people who are citizens of the country. This is something I don’t think we’ve ever fully been able to figure out – how to still value personal independence strongly while still being caring and compassionate towards those who, perhaps, personal independence isn’t as easily obtained for a whole myriad of reasons (either in the short or long term). THIS feels like it probably plays into the US’s wounding, this idea that “I have mine so FUCK EVERYONE ELSE” that seems to be very prevalent in American society. Aries energy *can* be selfish, and I do think THIS is wounding to us as a country.
    ***The US also has natal Chiron loosely square the Sun in the 7th in Cancer (with Leo being on the cusp of the 9th House). This makes me think that this country’s ego is more focused on the concept of the “other” (and in this case, it does feel more “other country” focused). THIS pulls at Chiron – like the more involvement we have with other countries, the less that we are able to heal Chiron’s wounding here at home (or something along those lines). I could probably go more depth, but I’ll stop there for now. We need to knock this shit off, though.

    As I mentioned before, the US has seen 4 Chiron Returns in the country’s history, and these happened from 1972 – 1976, 1922-1926, and again in the 1870’s and 1820’s (I haven’t looked at the exact dates or the historical context for the ones that occurred in the 1800’s). There are definitely some historical things that occurred during the last two Chiron Returns that stand out to me (and I like to look at the history here since similar themes can come back around – time is cyclical).

    During the time of the last Chiron Return in the 1970s, Watergate was going on which ended with Nixon resigning as president in 1974 (Gerald Ford became president after Nixon resigned). The US pulled out of Vietnam in 1973 with the Vietnam War coming to an end in 1975. BOTH of these things were embarrassments to the United States. I mean, lol, the Nixon thing probably should be embarrassing on it’s own (because, hahahaha, it is). It’s the Vietnam thing that gets me the most. The US didn’t appear to be embarrassed about fighting in a fucking proxy war that we didn’t need to fight in the first place or drafting people to go to war (and having to implement the draft because so many men didn’t want to fight that fucking war – that should say something right there). The US also didn’t seem to be embarrassed about the treatment of the men that fought in that war after they came home (by and large they were not treated well – THAT should be and should’ve been fucking embarrassing). But no….at the time it seems that it was most embarrassing that we were on the “losing side.” There was also a recession from 1973 – 1975 which included BOTH high unemployment and high inflation. Health insurance shit also came into play as well. Before Nixon resigned (and while he was running for re-election in 1972), he campaigned on some different ideas dealing with health care (such as having employers obligated to offer insurance to full time employees, and things of that nature). Some of what he proposed is in place today (though it didn’t happen until after he was out of office – Watergate kind of derailed his plans this way).

    During the time of Chiron’s Return in the 1920’s, there was a recession that took place from May 1923 through July 1924, though this one appears to have dealt more with inflation than unemployment. Health and medical stuff came up around this time as well. Hospital and medical expense policies were introduced, and individual hospitals started offering services to individuals on a prepaid basis (I can’t actually nail down an exact date for this). President Harding died in in 1923 of a heart attack and his Vice, President Coolidge, took office). Prohibition was also going on at this time – this was started in 1919 with the Volstead Act and added as the Eighteenth Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920 (later it was repealed with the Twenty-First Amendment). Interestingly enough, Nixon enacted the “War on Drugs” a year or two before 1972 and when our most recent Chiron return started (substances were obviously illegal before this with the passing of the Harrison Act in 1914, but the War on Drugs kind of upped the game). When are we going to learn that prohibiting stuff causes more fucking problems than it solves? We can make shit illegal all day long, but where there is a will there is a way – if someone wants to get a hold of something (and we could be talking about anything here), they will find a way to get a hold of it. In this day and age, we could be talking about anything from firearms to abortion….to fucking anything. If firearms become illegal, the black market will skyrocket for them (people in this country like their guns). If abortion is made illegal, the demand won’t go away – a black market will open up for them, too. It does make me wonder if might see something else get prohibited, and this could be something completely new or something that has already been threatened with prohibition in the past.
    **Both Prohibition and the War on Drugs should be fucking embarrassing for Americans because neither really tackled any of the root issues that stem from alcohol or other substances.

    To sum that up, lol, there do appear to be some common themes:
    -Recessions and money shit
    -Health and medical shit
    -Change in political leadership
    -“Embarrassing” shit happening

    Maybe we will take the opportunity with this Chiron Return to learn something about really defending the American people in a more compassionate and caring way? Not in the military industrial complex way (not that kind of defense if we can help ourselves – we already know about that), but perhaps, putting the American people and our interests first. I definitely think values will come into play (and perhaps even money and other resources) with Pluto’s Return happening along side all of this Chiron stuff (and Pluto’s return happening in the natal 2nd House, and natal Chiron and natal Pluto loosely squaring one another). Interesting times….lol, just interesting fucking times.

  • North & South Nodes along the Aries/Libra Axis

    In this post, we will take the House that the North Node falls in out of the equation and just focus on what it means to have your North Node in a specific sign (and what it means to have the South Node in the polarity sign). Usually with things having to do with the Nodal Axis (and growing into our North Node), a catalyst occurs in our lives that edges us out of the comfort of the South Node and into the uncharted territory of the North. This catalyst could be something major and life changing (such as a death, marriage, or divorce), or even something much more minor. Something will kind of shake us internally, saying “Wake up, fucker. You’re supposed to move beyond this,” whatever the “this” in the situation is. Once this waking up occurs, you will begin to move towards the North Node. Though, in all my years of study, this period of waking up usually doesn’t occur until the person’s first Saturn Return, or after it.


    North Node in Aries/South Node in Libra – Your mission in this lifetime by sign is to focus on the concept of yourself, and who you really are. This placement suggests your soul wanting to grow into a more independent and pioneering spirit, and going after the things that you want in life because YOU want them. Of course, the North Node is never very comfortable for the native, and this may feel an unnatural way for you Aries North Node people to operate. With Libra on the South Node, there have probably been many past lives where you spent your time (or even your whole life) behind the scenes supporting someone else’s visions, dreams and goals. You still act as a source of support for those around you, and are generally just a kind person. You naturally don’t like to rock the boat or make waves, opting instead for harmonic surroundings (even at the expense of yourself and what you want, what you believe, and what you feel). The “Other” and what they want, what they believe, and what they feel will take center stage. Now, there is nothing wrong with caring about others (totally not saying that!) and how they feel, but NOT at the expense of your own feelings. This is generally a lesson that these people were incarnated to figure out and something in their lives that happens will generally set this in motion; how to no longer rely on the lens of the “other” to see themselves, and instead to see themselves through their own eyes, and on their own terms.

    North Node in Libra/South Node in Aries – On the opposite end of the spectrum from the North Node Aries person, in this lifetime the Libra North Node native’s soul wanted to evolve into a more “other focused” state of being. This person’s soul wanted to learn how to be that really great support system for others behind the scenes, leaving the “I” focused Aries and moving into the “We” focus of Libra. In probably many past lifetimes, the Libra North Node person probably spent their lives very independently (in the Aries South Node), doing exactly what they wanted, when they wanted, and probably didn’t care much what anyone else thought about it. There probably wasn’t a real interest or reason to cultivate real meaningful relationships (possibly for survival reasons), so while they may not completely understand another person’s perspective in this lifetime or appear to have an interest in doing so, they DO understand themselves completely; the relationship to the self was the one that was nurtured in past lives. Something in this lifetime will usually happen to these people that forces them to realize that while it’s wonderful to understand and rely on yourself, you also need other people (sometimes, anyway) in your life. Life is usually easier with other people, or at least a few special people that you really connect with.

    To flesh out the nodal axis story further (to get the whole picture), you will need to also consider where the planetary ruler of the North and South Nodes fall in the chart by sign, house, and aspects made. In the case of Aries and Libra you would be looking at Mars and Venus.

    If you would like me to read your nodal axis for you, get a reading from me here 🙂 Also, if you are more of a watcher than a reader, head to my YouTube channel where I have a bunch of content on the subject of the nodes.
