For this week’s horoscopes for the ingress of Neptune into Aries, be sure to read your rising sign as well:
Aries
(1st House) You will be experiencing a different sort of awareness now that Neptune will be in your sign for the next 13 years. Generally, it is in the nature of Aries to just keep powering on, come what may. All Aries have something of a Superhero lurking within. But over the years ahead you are going to be tasked with motivating that inner Superhero with a cause, an ideal, an aspiration, or perhaps a creative vision for the future. This is not a time to give up or give in no matter how bleak things may seem. Rather, with a very decisive Mars/Pluto conjunction the day after the ingress of Neptune into Aries, we are being asked to fight as if our very lives depend on it. What does it mean to sacrifice for something that seems so much larger than ourselves? Something invested with great Meaning and Purpose? One of the issues with Neptune traveling in your sign, is that it can be humbling. In some way over the years ahead you are going to be asked to leave your ego at the door. This is not just about you. For Neptune in Aries works best when we use him to fight for the common good, where we take into consideration everyone that is concerned. You will know this, because now that Neptune is in Aries you will see more, hear more, and feel more than you even have in your life. Lean into it. Devote yourself to a cause, to something that is so much larger than yourself. And do so as if your very life depends on it.
Taurus
(12th House) The 12th house of your Solar, Whole Sign House, or natal House placements contain all of our memories. And these are not only the memories of your present lifetime, but include pre-birth memories from lifetimes ago, in ages long forgotten but carried through us into this lifetime. As Neptune enters Aries, he dares to unearth all sorts of memories of what once was. But also note that hidden amongst those memories arising out of the hidden realms of the past are also things well worth rediscovering. Pay special attention to that old box over there in the corner filled with the dreams and talents of a life well lived. What you might find in that box are hidden gems, old gifts that you had put on the shelf some time ago. Also know that once that box is opened, you probably won’t want to shut it again. Now that Neptune is going to be in Aries for the next 13 years, you are being asked to reacquaint yourself with some of these treasures. Gather these and place them like sacred relics on your altar. Do banish the old ghosts from the past that no longer have a place at the table. But embrace those things that aim to restore your sanity, and bring a deeper sense of peace. Neptune is asking you to open your heart to the divine by connecting with that inner sanctum in your soul. This is that part of you that some call Spirit, the Higher Self, your spiritual Guides and inner goddess. It speaks to us through our conscience, our intuition and our dreams. Therefore trust your intuition to guide you, and be willing to lead with a compassionate heart. and to be a guide to others. Trust your intuition to guide you and be willing to lead with a compassionate heart.
Gemini
(11th House) Now that Neptune will be in Aries for the next 13 years, Gemini is being tasked with finding ways to find greater meaning through offering compassionate service to the collective in the company of others. That can be through some group effort, or through service to some sort of cause, or idealistic vision that you feel it is well worth fighting for. In some way you are being asked to open our heart to the All, to humanity at large, or at the very least something that feels larger than just yourself. Know that by doing so, the rewards can be exponentially greater than anticipated. Just be wary as to who you are going to be hitching your wagon to, lest you be led astray by charismatic groups that wreak of cultishness. When we channel our inner Aries warrior for the sake of a higher cause, we are also being asked to stand out and be separate, and to be willing to declare that the Emperor has no clothes. Saturn, which enters Aries on February 13th, will allow the scales to fall from your eyes, so that you can see things exactly as they are. And when you are willing to stand up and say what needs to be said, and you speak from a place of compassion, and without pretense, you will then also serve as an inspiration for others to follow. During the years that Neptune will be in Aries you will find community and solace with others who share a similar vision to your own. And along with this comes the realization that you can accomplish so much more towards performing good works in the company of others, than you possibly could do on your own.
Cancer
(10th House) Now that Neptune will be in Aries for the next 13 years, you will find yourself wanting to do something, or be someone that stands for something that is more meaningful. The more transcendent, altruistic, healing or even spiritual your goals during these years, the better. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself thinking about the sorts of adjustments you might want to make over the years ahead, that will allow some of your most heart-fed goals to become a closer and more achievable reality. Sometimes with Neptune here in this department of your life, it can feel as if the future is unknowable. You cannot see your way through the fog. And yet you are being asked to trust your own inner knowing to bring you precisely where you need to be, even if you have no idea where that will lead. It takes great courage to follow your inner convictions, even if you cannot explain why you are doing so to others. Know that no matter what path you may pursue, make sure that you include the inner desire to connect with something that feels so much larger than yourself. Not acknowledging the spiritual behests of the soul to do so, to follow those pursuits that bring greater meaning to your life, will make it seem as if something is missing, or that you have made a wrong turn somewhere. This will only lead to disillusionment and disenchantment with your chosen path. The more spiritually centered or selfless your ambitions are at this time, the more vulnerable you are willing to be, the greater the rewards will be. And there is no price tag that can possibly be placed on that sort of aspiration. Like mystical guides, know that the Fates have been conspiring to bring you where you need to be in order to fulfill your destiny.
Leo
(9th House) Now that Neptune will be in Aries for the next 13 years, you will find yourself compelled at least at some point to seek some sort of higher meaning. That can be through some sort of spiritual quest, or perhaps through study, through travel or exploration. While Neptune is traveling in this sign he is wanting you to be inspired, and realize your own inner truth and refuge, in whatever ways that translates for you. People will often look to Leo for guidance, because you naturally fall into a role that allows you to be an example for others to follow. And now that Neptune is entering Aries, that role as a guide, teacher, and being a role model, becomes that much more profound. Neptune entering Aries, will not only propel you into the foreground, but will also inspire you to embark on your own quest for higher understanding. Which can also include searching for your own role models and spiritual guides. Whether that be through a spiritual quest, or through study, travel or exploration, it’s about that which opens up and touches your soul in some significant way. While Neptune will be traveling through Aries over the next 13 years, he is wanting you to be inspired, and realize your own inner truth and refuge, in whatever way that translates for you. You are going to be further challenged in this pursuit: perhaps by planning a trip abroad, exploring new avenues, following through with that lingering interest that you’ve been wanting to learn more about; embracing a new adventure and being willing to explore the possible, as well as that which may even seem a little impossible.
Virgo
(8th House) Now that mystical Neptune will be in Aries, what you are going to be experiencing are the ramifications and results of all that you have been discovering, learning, saying and considering these many years past. In some way Neptune will be swimming through the existential dumpster of your life, exposing secrets, and tossing your skeletons out of the closet and out on to the street. This is not done to humiliate you, so much as to remind you that you are merely human, like the rest of us. And therefore relatable. Once Saturn joins Neptune here, there will be no more room for denial. And Saturn will also make it evident how necessary it will to get your affairs in order, so that you will be prepared for any and all of the eventualities to come. Aries is an extremely independent sign, but this department of the chart compels you to have to rely on others to have your needs met. This can be a scary prospect as you place all of your worldly goods, your sanity, your sanctity, and your trust in others and a future that remains inscrutable and unknowable. However there is also something deeply beautiful in facing down your demons and placing your trust in the universe to provide, even if you have no reason to trust it to do so. Your life will be changing in subtle but meaningful ways over the next 13 years. And in the process you will face your monsters and even some of your worst fears. But know that you will also have the opportunity to have some deeply profound and mystical experiences that cannot be simply explained away. Now that Neptune will be swimming in this deep and sacred space in your chart, be prepared to find yourself amazed as a result of what is being disclosed.
Libra
When Neptune enters Aries, many a Libra could find themselves willingly putting their own needs aside for the sake of others. Neptune can bring inspired artists, musicians, spiritual warriors, and healers into your sphere. People who can also inspire you to be a better version of yourself. It would also not be unusual to seek out more bucolic surroundings, in order to immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of the natural world. We will speak more to this over the years ahead. But in the mean time perhaps visualize with Neptune’s ingress into Aries, what a more bucolic or peaceful life and lifestyle, could look like for you. It may not be what you previously imagined. And by the end of 2026, what with all of the planets entering new signs all at once, you may not even recognize the world you are living in. And as the world is changing we are all trying to find our place within that new order. As well as the people who will be there with us. One thing that can happen as these shifts occur, is that we will find ourselves hobnobbing with all sorts of folks we previously thought we had nothing in common with. So much so that complete strangers become true allies while previous allies become estranged. Neptune can bring confusion and disorientation in its wake, as you question all that you are now seeing and perceiving. However Neptune in Aries also aims to bring people into your sphere who inspire you to new ways of being: Artists. Musicians. Compassionate Healers. Spiritual seekers. Mystics and Dreamers. People who can serve to inspire you to be a better version of yourself, or to show you a whole other way of being. It takes courage to trust these strangers. But that is precisely what is being asked of you to do. Let them lead you into that holy and bucolic world of beauty and serenity, one that had only previously existed in the world of your imagination.
Scorpio
(6th House) Neptune entering Aries can be something of a mixed blessing for Scorpio. But one curious thing that you may become more aware of over the next decade is an inclination to put your spiritual beliefs into practice in your daily life. Which can include having a spiritual practice that centers you each day. Or putting your ideals into application in every day ways. Not unusual for people to think and act more conscientiously, perhaps even changing your diet and daily habits, by being more aware of your impact on the environment, and wanting to invest greater meaning in what you do for a living. Health and well-being as well as self-improvement become a focus while Neptune is in Aries. Neptune can also wreak havoc and confusion while here. Misdiagnoses. Or assumptions that prove to be false leading you down the wrong track. Things are hard to see when Neptune casts its mists upon the serenities, and confounds our senses. However by using mystical Neptune to ground you in daily spiritual rituals and practices, or the healing that can be found by centering your mind and body with mind/body practices such as yoga, tai chi, music, dance, or anything that allows you to channel the divine through you, heart, body and mind. Neptune in Aries also inspires us to live conscientiously and applying our highest principles to what we eat, being healthier, buying local, recognizing the impact you have on the environment, and investing greater meaning in all that you do on a daily basis. This is about walking the walk as well as talking the talk, and the ways that these not only benefit yourself but the world at large.
Sagittarius
(5th House) When Neptune is in Aries, as it will be for the next 13 years, it will be compelling you to open your heart in some wonderful way. A way that will rekindle, and bring back a feeling of transcendent joy, wonder and enchantment. As Neptune enters Aries it is asking you: What is keeping you from being able to live your own best life? What is standing in the way? And what can you do to rediscover what it means to look at the world through the eyes of a child, with wonder and enchantment? For the 13 years that Neptune will be in Aries you will find yourself more willing, perhaps even eagerly so, to make certain sacrifices, either for someone you love, someone that you care for, or something that brings you great joy and happiness. Neptune has this capacity in this sign to open up your heart in some wonderful way. A way that has this capacity to rekindle that feeling of transcendent joy, wonder and enchantment. This is the area of the chart that you associate with creative self-expression. And where you are being asked to reacquaint yourself with your own inner muse. You are so desperately needing some sort of medium through which to both discover, witness and express all of the accumulated angst of ages past. And when you are willing to surrender to it, you will discover something precious and valuable lying in the very heart of your being. It takes a certain amount of courage and vulnerability, but by connecting to your own heart center, it also allows you to connect with your own true self. It is within this self where all the facades are stripped away, and you are able to greet the world in all of your naked innocence and purity, devoid of pretense.
Capricorn
(4th House) Like a chick freshly hatched from its egg, so you too are being asked to emerge out into the world on fresh new fledgling wings. Where do you get that feeling of belonging, that sense of connecting to your roots? Where is that place and who are the people? When you explore your own roots, and where you came from, there can be much that fills you with a sense of pride. Not only your heritage, your history, and your background, but because of how you were able to make the most of what you had. It may not have been perfect but it was yours, and made you who you are today. For interlaced with all of those experiences, memories and past, are gifts that you wouldn’t not have gained if not those these very people and experiences in your past. But one thing that Neptune can do while in the sign of Aries is to bring you the ability to manifest the most perfect environment, one that will support and protect that sense of belonging, that sense of history and place. Neptune can sometimes make us feel as if we are being undermined, sometimes by the very people we assume should most support us emotionally and unconditionally. Neptune does have the ability to weaken our resolve and even our confidence when it travels in this department of the chart. However Neptune can also bring you the tools to cast those doubts and suspicions from out of your consciousness and the past from whence they came. Rather, channel Neptune’s capacity for visualization so that you can envision the perfect environment that feeds you rather than diminishes you. Use Neptune’s influence to create beauty, peace and serenity in whatever environment you find yourself in. Because ultimately this is about feeding your soul not draining it. And know that by using your inherited talents and gifts in ways that can benefit not only yourself, but also your nearest and dearest, which in turn brings its own rewards.
Aquarius
(3rd House) Among other things, Neptune entering Aries can even change the way that you see the world. When Neptune enters this department of the chart you see more, hear more, feel more than you ever have in the past. It opens up your eyes as well as your senses. This can include sensing things without knowing why, having your senses opened, and your intuition heightened. The spiritual and creative aspects of your life are trying to take hold in subtle ways, and you won’t want to ignore these any more. They aim to change your whole outlook. Neptune can also confound your senses, and have you questioning with skepticism what you are seeing and experiencing. It can make you anxious when people’s words contradict their actions. And leave you questioning your own reasoning, and worrying about the future. Neptune can make us feel as if we are adrift in a boat without any equipment with which to navigate. Just know that this is not entirely true. It’s just that the usual navigational equipment does not work in this sort of environment. Also know that with all of the inner planets recently entering your sign and greeting Pluto at the door that this is not a time to give up or give in, no matter how bleak things may seem to be. This is not a time to give up or give in no matter how bleak things may seem. Rather, with a very decisive Mars/Pluto conjunction the day after the ingress of Neptune into Aries, we are being asked to persist as if our very lives depend on it. The navigational equipment that will work in this weather are not the external cues, but what your intuition is trying to tell you. Trust it. Rarely will it be as strong as it is with Neptune in Aries. Just make sure that you are able to discriminate between your imagination, your fears, and that direct perception which dares to show you the way things actually are beneath the facade.
Pisces
(2nd House) After 14 years of having Neptune in your sign you may find it difficult to reset your boundaries. What can serve as a catalyst during these years are things like the fear of loss, the fear that your income can and will be taken away from you at some unforeseeable future. Rumors of layoffs and salary cuts loom over you as you struggle to get your financial affairs in order. You may even question the wisdom of remaining in a position that feels vacuous, or like you are not being fully appreciated. If only you weren’t faced with the fear of having the wolf howling at the door. Neptune in Aries ask you: would you be willing to do with less in order to pursue a more altruistic and meaningful vocation? And if this is not the sort of sacrifices that you are able or willing to make right now, what can you change in your perspective and/or your personal life to allow you to accept your current circumstances for what they are? Strangely with Neptune in Aries for the next decade you will probably find that the more you focus on leading a more meaningful life and lifestyle, the less the stuff and money will matter. There is something both magical and transcendent about your ruling planet Neptune. And as it enters Aries this week it is almost a reboot, getting back to the things that really matter in the end. That which you truly value. This is why many of you may consider taking a lesser paying gig in order to be able to live a more meaningful life and lifestyle. Or to take on an avocation, or commit to those people, things and experiences that really do matter in the end.
