Grounding into what’s ending, what’s emerging and tapping into inner trust
Neptune 🔱 has made an initial brief shift from Pisces 🐟 into Aries 🐏
This will offer a sneak-peak at the next 14-year cycle in relation to personal and collective ideals, imagination and illusions that bring these two aspects together or divide them apart.
Neptune entered it’s Pisces Season back in 2011/2012.
Neptune rules Pisces and you may have noticed a strong influence of distinction of duality between reality and imagination.
Collectively we saw a lot of threads unraveling between what we thought life to be from a physical, material, concrete standpoint, and the rising awareness of the illusion of the external stability of certain structures.
As Neptune temporarily moves into Aries, until fall 2025, we have an opportunity to see what the next 14-year cycle in Aries may bring up within us and around. Because of this tip-toe into Aries, and then back into Pisces, for the last time, we have an opportunity to do some power reflection to declutter and “finish things up”.
Here are some current intuitively guided general themes and patterns to notice from the lens of each element; earth, air, fire and water.
Determine which element your Natal Neptune is in, and see what catches your attention or sparks interest from below…
Keep in mind that Neptune is a water 🌊 element, and Aries is a fire 🔥element.
Earth Signs 🌎 (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Themes that may be at play during this time, if your Neptune is in an Earth sign, could be coming into contact and pushing up against your more fixed ideals, beliefs and perceptions. There may be some internal resistance, defensiveness or guarding about the way you see life, and you may not want to budge or entertain any changes regarding these views.
You may find yourself holding onto mental constructs and conditioning that is being challenged and tested, and out of a sense of spite, or responsibility, you feel it’s your duty to stick to your guns until sufficient and adequate evidence and proof has been made clear to you that it’s safe to change and shift ideals and beliefs.
Goals and specific areas of focus may be altered in ways that seem out of your control, leaving you feeling unsteady, uncertain and out of sorts.
Gather information and collect the data you need, but then go within and sift and sort through what feels true to you. While this time may feel shaky or uncertain, your source of security and stability comes from within.
Especially when it comes to the illusions that arise, which may seem very bold, direct and abrasive, your intuitive connection is concrete and the same part of you that questions and critiques energetic, intangible or imaginative qualities within you, is the same part that is inviting you into solid self-assurance, deep inner trust with an unwavering belief in your capability to be intellectually and intuitively resourceful.
Air Signs 💨 (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Themes at play for Neptune in an air sign may feel like things are escalating very quickly. When fire and air combine, the energy picks up speed, velocity and amplifies significantly. Luckily, the density of water-like energy of Neptune will be something to help you harness and direct this season.
It may feel counter-productive, but anchoring into your emotions, getting to the core of main emotions that come up frequently, will be a great source of power. Taking action is important, not only to keep energy moving and cycling, but also to keep you inspired and motivated.
The mercurial aspect of your emotions may feel chaotic, unless you make it a priority to dive beneath the surface of recurring or strong emotions, not just feeling the superficial reaction to any and all emotions, and acting seemingly haphazardly because of those emotions.
Another theme may be the practice of bringing your intellect into your body. From the standpoint of your mind, reality and imagination can be skewed and blurred with Neptune present.
Start a practice of finding an anchor source within your body that represents your Truth, and/or the Seat of your Higher Self, where your Soul and human being-ness merge and mingle. This could be a physical place in the body, or a Chakra point.
By bringing thoughts and emotions into this body space, you will feel what is true personal discernment, see through the superficial and move from a deep-seated wisdom and knowing, ultimately allowing your mind, body and Soul to guide you forward.
Fire Signs 🔥 (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Themes at play for Neptune in fire signs may include a lot of moving pieces. The momentum that can be activated during this season may put you in a leadership role, a place of authority or mobilizer-mode for yourself, and possibly with/for others.
This energy may feel like being on the frontlines, blazing trails and taking the first steps into the unknown and untamed. If you feel weakened or disoriented from this thought or by the experience, focus on the work of the inner child, purity and innocence, in order to allow your warrior to shine and thrive in a supporting role, bravely, with loyalty and gallantry.
Notice when things feel like they’re “boiling over” and your protection mode is in overdrive. Anchoring into emotions from a safe, well-cared for, child-like vantage point could be the key for your actions to be clean, clear and effective in gaining ground, keeping momentum and ultimately the outcome of what your Soul know you’re here to do.
Building and strengthening your connection to Source and Soul will be foundational in knowing and being guided into what you’re meant to show up for during this time, in whatever way that looks like for you personally, as well as from a collective or community stand-point.
This combination of water/fire energy is clearing and carving the way, so that others that resonate can follow and flourish.
Water Signs 💧 (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Themes that may be at play for Neptune in water signs will be about harmonizing energy and holding space, visions and Soul-led ideals.
Having moved through Neptune in Pisces, which may have opened up significant internal portals to grand visions both personally and collectively, or created a cluster-f of confusion and dysregulated energies, ideas, perspectives and a general sense of feeling out of sorts, or at odds with reality as was known.
As much as this placement may want to stay down in the depths of imagination and illusion, or escape and avoid everything completely, Neptune in Aries is inviting you to bring your imagination to life, through action.
This may also create opportunities for you to stand in a place of assurance and authority, which may feel uncomfortable. Being able to discern what is your truth, versus what you pick up on empathically, will be a great source of power and stability for you. This can become a strength and service that you offer to support others as well during this time.
Notice where you’re internalizing, or catastrophizing, conversations or experiences and bring them out into the open, externally, so you can see the actualization of the experience, instead of the assumptions and projections you’ve created in your imagination. Illusions that are held within and left to simmer may begin to stagnate and spoil your intuitive abilities, your perception and your discernment, creating dysregulated and skewed information, leading to incoherent actions or lack of action completely.
As awareness and understanding begin to fall into place for you, things can quickly become the new normal, stemming from personal alignment versus conditioned autopilot patterns.
