Neptune in Aries 2025: A New Dream

Neptune leaves Pisces: End of an Era

Named after the mythological God of the Sea, Neptune in Astrology is associated with the impulse to transcend the limitations of the human experience and connect with something greater and higher than ourselves. For the past 14 years, Neptune has been traveling through his domicile, erasing the boundaries between the personal and the collective, maximizing our sensitivity to the collective emotional body and global events. Since 2011, Neptune in Pisces brought about a collective haze, emphasizing the confusion about what is true and what is a product of our imagination, fears, or wishful thinking. This transit has been highlighting both the gifts and the challenges of Neptunian energy and invited us to come into a more conscious relationship with it.

In Pisces, a Mutable, Water, and Yin sign, Neptune has expanded and deepened our ability to feel and the impact of our spiritual and emotional experiences. This transit reminded us that we are everything and nothing at once. It also heightened the intensity and the prevalence of mystical experiences and spiritual awakenings, inspiring many of us to embark on a quest for something more than what meets the eye.

Neptune enters Aries: a New Dream

Neptune changing signs is likely to shed light on illusions we believed to be true during his transit through Pisces, and expose where we mistook fantasy for faith or escapism for enlightenment. This shift may feel like waking up from a long sleep, disoriented, as we find ourselves in a strange, unfamiliar landscape, completely alone and with no map.

Aries is raw, instinctual, and always on the go. This sign moves through life fueled by personal will, driven by the immediacy of desires, and unconcerned with the bigger picture. Neptune’s function, however, is that of dissolving the separate self and the personal will into the vast, collective ocean. These two energies can be hard to reconcile: it can be challenging to find common ground between them.

A core theme of Neptune’s journey through Aries is learning to align our personal will with Divine Will, with the Universe’s plans for us, with a feeling of higher destiny. Neptune’s journey through Aries challenges us to balance surrender and assertion, receptivity and active participation, going with the flow and making a clear choice.

With Neptune in Aries, dreaming can no longer be passive: we must dream with our eyes wide open, be ready to act when needed, and be able to discern when it is time to make a move and when it is time to wait or keep flowing. This combination of energies will require us to develop new ways of taking action, ways that are not impulsive but rooted in a higher vision and in a solid connection with something greater than us.

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction of 2025 and 2026

Something radically new is about to be born but the time is not up just yet. Neptune is going to return to Pisces from October 22, 2025, to January 26, 2026, urging us to take a step back, reflect, and wrap up unfinished business before we can fully move forward.

Moreover, Saturn and Neptune are currently in a Balsamic Phase conjunction, signaling the end of a cycle: the energy is of completion, closure and dissolution. Saturn in Balsamic conjunction with Neptune indicates that the structures and systems we have been relying upon are dissolving as they lost their original purpose and something needs to end before a new cycle can begin.

Saturn is quickly catching up to Neptune and enters Aries on May 24, 2025. Neptune and Saturn will be conjunct for most of the calendar year and perfect their conjunction at 0º Aries on February 20, 2026.

While we release our reliance on the old, we may not be aware that, deep down, we are already gestating the new. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries will ask us to reimagine leadership and individuality and challenge us to build completely new structures.

Since the exact alignment takes place at 0º Aries, the energy of renewal will be extremely potent and this conjunction is set to revolutionize and renovate social structures and traditions in ways that, right now, are unimaginable.

Neptune enters Aries: Moving through the Birth Canal

With all transpersonal planets changing signs in a short timespan, a profound shift is happening in the collective psyche, and the process is far from complete. As Neptune moves between Aries and Pisces for the rest of the calendar year, we are likely to feel as if we were moving through the birth canal.

The visions, ideals, and dreams that defined the Neptune in Pisces era are beginning to fracture, dissolve, and fall away, yet what comes next is still unclear. In these early phases of Neptune in Aries transit, we may find it challenging to understand where our impulses and desires are leading us, where they come from, and what their purpose is.

New impulses and dreams will emerge, but real clarity is likely to still be elusive. We are likely to feel compelled to move forward, only to realize we must first make sure that our desires are rooted in something real, not illusion.

This transit will bring us new spiritual realizations and lessons – lessons that can only be learned through action, experimentation, and a process of trial and error. Neptune in Aries reminds us that spiritual evolution requires both vision and action and challenges us to learn how to take action without using unnecessary force. This transit inspires us to create new paths, reimagine what is possible, and embody the courage to bring our dreams to life.
