Ah! Transit Neptune in Aries! 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). Transit Neptune entering Aries (lol “entering” hahaha) has been on my radar since December 2021 when I did a video about it for YouTube (video at the end of this post), 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. Want to learn this astro-language for yourself? Check out the Star Cards (pictured above).

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 for Transit Neptune in Aries:

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:

Some “keywords” for what Neptune may express:

Idealism	Clouding	Spirituality	Escape	Unconscious	Confusion
Faith	Lack of Boundaries	Illusions & Delusions	Not Grounded & Unrealistic	Martyrdom & Martyr-Complex	Addictions, Substances & Intoxicants
Oneness	Dreams	Compassion & Sensitivity	Fluid &  Adaptable	Imprisonment	Creativity

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

Impulsive	Freedom	Independence	Self-Focused	Leadership	Instinct
Drive	Action-Oriented	Fear (both Fearlessness & Fearfulness)	New Beginnings	Expressions of Will (and Willpower)	Aggression & Anger
Assertive	God of War	Passion & Desire (Animalistic)	Impetuous	Competitive	Individuated

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).
