WHEN: From March 23, 2023 to June 11, 2023, Pluto will make a brief appearance in Aquarius. However, its continuous twenty-year transit through Aquarius (considered the formal commencement of the zodiac) “On January 21, 2024, the “Pluto in Aquarius era” begins.
In this piece, I go over Pluto’s passage into Aquarius in great detail (see the last section, headed “For additional information, see “A Sneak Peek towards 2024.” But here’s a quick rundown:
The issues of the planet that dominates the sign are empowered, warped, distorted, corrupted, deconstructed, and/or transformed by Pluto. These themes go through a sort of death and rebirth, and they’re never the same again.
Science, scientific discoveries, technical developments, outer space, political and social revolutions, social change, egalitarianism, and progressive beliefs are all associated with Aquarius.
As a result, technological and scientific discoveries, redistribution of power, giving the masses a voice, and attaining freedom and liberty are all similar threads with Pluto in Aquarius events.
The following are some of the things I believe we can expect during Pluto’s forthcoming Aquarius transit:
- A tsunami of political progressivism has swept the country (one thing to watch: Aquarius is a fixed sign that, prior to the discovery of Uranus, had Saturn as its ruler… with Pluto in Aquarius, the chance of authoritarianleft-wing regimes is higher than usual).
- New mainstream political parties are forming (I especially see this happening in the United States)
- New technology that will help us become less reliant on oil (and will spearhead ecological breakthroughs)
- Traditional power paradigms are decentralizing as oppressed people acquire more equality and authority.
WHEN: From March 30, 2025, to October 22, 2025, Neptune will make a brief visit to Aries. However, it begins its twelve-year journey through Aries (the first sign of the zodiac), which is regarded the actual commencement of the zodiac “On January 26, 2026, the “Neptune in Aries era” begins.
Alcoholism, art, compassion, enlightenment, fantasy, dreams, drugs, ideals, spirituality, and water are all ruled by Neptune.
Aries is the sign of activity, aggression, boldness, courage, and many other qualities “doing,” “leading,” and “war” are all words that come to mind when
It’s always useful to consider what happened the last time a planet passed through a sign. The notion isn’t that we’ll have a carbon reproduction of what happened; after all, other planets were doing different things at the time. However, we must keep an eye on the themes.
Consider the following events that occurred during Neptune’s last visit to Aries (1861-1875):
- During the Civil War (Aries), opioids (Neptune) were employed to treat troops; many got hooked.
- The formation of the Prohibition Party, which is essentially a war on alcohol (Aries) (Neptune)
- Pasteurization is the application of heat (Aries) to kill pathogens (Neptune).
- The 13th Amendment is ratified in the United States, transforming compassion for other people (Neptune) into something concrete (Aries).
- The International Red Cross was founded, and it is a pioneering (Aries) organization that assists others (Neptune).
- The Impressionist movement begins. This art (Neptune) movement is distinguished by bright (Aries) colors and the incorporation of movement (Aries).
I feel that in the next age of Neptune in Aries, we’ll see a lot more urgent action on water issues (for example, forceful Aries! water conservation measures).
- a greater probability of international conflicts over water access and rights;
- a concerted effort to make mental health (Neptune) resources more widely available and prioritized.
Extra fact: Saturn and Neptune will collide at 0 degrees Aries on February 21, 2026 (a very crucial degree of the zodiac… literally where it all begins!). Saturn and Neptune last collided in 1989, on three distinct occasions. This is something I’ll look at at a (much) later time, but it’s still something I’m thinking about.

When did Neptune enter the zodiac sign of Pisces?
Neptune was one of the first celestial worlds discovered by telescope in 1846, despite its distance of 2.865 billion miles from Earth. Interestingly, despite the fact that Neptune was invisible to the naked eye in the early 1600s, there is evidence that Galileo was able to observe it. Jupiter looked to glow a little brighter on two exceptional days in December 1612 and January 1613, according to Galileo. Although Galileo initially attributed the light to a star, it was eventually discovered that he had witnessed the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. Yes, absolutely.
Neptune is named after the Greek god of the sea (Poseidon), and is hence associated with the mystical, enigmatic immensity of the spiritual unknown. Neptune is the astrological ruler of the subconscious, dreams, art, entertainment, and psychic abilities.
Neptune’s orbit is extraordinarily long; it takes 165 years to travel around the zodiac, with 14-year excursions through each of the 12 signs. Neptune entered Pisces in 2011, and will remain there until 2026.
What is Neptune in Aries?
In the sign of the fire-breathing pioneer, we have the planet of ideals and delusions. Natives of Neptune in Aries walk a fine edge between intensity and impulsivity, and their legacies are typically distinguished by major, even violent conflicts. America was engulfed in the Civil War when Neptune was last in Aries, a war of values and humanitarian principles that gave birth to a new, young nation. This period also coincided with the rise of war photography, which combined the horrors of battle with the ephemera of the acquired image.
In astrology, where is Neptune right now?
Neptune is presently in the Pisces constellation. Right Ascension is currently 23h 40m 57s, and Declination is currently -03 18′ 01″.
What is the duration of Neptune’s transit?
Neptune Retrograde 2021 will occur from June 25th to December 1st, and will be in the sign of Pisces this year. Those who believe in the stars believe that this Retrograde time will open up new spiritual dimensions, unveiling new spiritual powers that have been buried.
“Neptune stations only retrograde once a year, spending roughly half of the year there, as retrograde cycles typically last five to six months.”
What does Uranus’ position in Aries imply?
When Uranus travels through Aries, we’ll all feel a cosmic jolt. We may have misplaced our genuine identity along the way, or we may have decided to bury it for whatever reason. Uranus in Aries will change that, prompting us to embrace whatever aspect of our energy symbolizes an independent spirit and higher thinking, and to make a bold change with ourselves (Uranus rules the higher mind).
However, during Uranus’ transit through Aries, this urge for personal change could make things complicated. We could have a low tolerance for anyone who threatens to step on our identities’ toes. At the first sign of someone or something hindering our ability to exhibit our pioneering spirit, we may get irritated or even enraged. We should seize this chance to live more truthfully while simultaneously being aware of our proclivity for selfishness.
Uranus Retrograde in Aries
Uranus Retrograde is all about becoming real, facing our fears, and letting go of whatever no longer serves us in order to become the person we want (or were destined to be). Uranus Retrograde in Aries feels like a divine urge to do our own thing and express our uniqueness. This retrograde period will fuel our impulse to rebel if we’ve been feeling confined in any aspect of our existence.
During Uranus’ retrograde in Aries, we could wonder if our relationships are holding us back. Is my current position keeping me from achieving the level of success I desire? Have other people’s opinions deterred me from pursuing a goal? Uranus Retrograde in Aries will cause a stir, urging us to make adjustments in areas of our lives that aren’t personally satisfying.
If you were born with Uranus in Aries
You are unquestionably a trailblazer! Aries is the natural born leader of the zodiac, while Uranus is the sign of revolutionary vision. As a result, when this planet and sign align in your birth chart, you have the power to boldly travel where no one has gone before. You’re the type of person who is open to new ideas and situations.
You could be someone who has helped pioneer discoveries in computing, medical research, aerospace technology, and other comparable advancements, thanks to Aries’ strong ambition to push forward and Uranus’ role as the planet of radical change and technology. To put it another way, you could be a catalyst for a technological revolution!
When did Uranus make his entrance into Aries?
The digital revolution is well begun, and it all revolves around…you. Uranus entered fiery Aries in 2010, profoundly altering the way we express our identity. Uranus began its long-term journey into Aries in 2011, albeit it only lingered for a few months.
Uranus is the planet of unpredictability and, in some cases, spectacular surprises. Japan was brutally attacked by an earthquake, a tsunami, and nuclear reactors that threatened to detonate on March 11th, the day unstable Uranus crossed from watery Pisces into fiery Aries.
Uranus, as a slow-moving outer planet, only moves through the zodiac signs every 7-9 years. It was based in Pisces from 2003 until 2011. The world observed a spectacular burst of fire over water during the disastrous BP oil spill on April 20, 2010, almost exactly one month before it moved into Aries. To say the least, the timing raised our astrological eyebrows.
Uranus is also the planet that governs massive global reforms and groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs. If the BP disaster has stained the planet’s gaseous, blue-green hands, we might be able to make sense of the tragedy by calling it a massive planetary wakeup call. Uranus didn’t want to depart Pisces without sending a big statement. Nobody can deny that we’ve been indiscriminately utilizing oil for everything from gas-guzzling SUVs to the plastic bottles we discard into landfills “bins for recycling (many of which never make it to their promised, repurposed state). We’ve been preoccupied with the poisons in our tap water while ignoring the natural source of our liquid assets. This Uranus cycle will increase pressure to support further clean-water saving inventions if we can figure out how to seal a gushing deep ocean oil well. We sincerely hope so!
Uranus entered Aries on March 11 and will remain there until May 15, 2018, a day that will go down in Japanese history as a catastrophic calamity. Uranus in Aries refocusses attention on issues such as global warming, the impact of solar flares, and the development of alternate energy sources. If you’ve been wondering when your local Home Depot would start selling affordable solar panels, this seven-year period could witness a major shift in the store’s aisles.
Uranus is the zodiac’s populist sign, whereas Aries is the zodiac’s warrior “down for the sake of the people.” While this may be a time of significant and beneficial government reforms, we must also keep a watchful eye on candidates. Militarists and dictators dressed as revolutionaries can slip in through the back door, preying on people’s primal rage (the Achilles’ Heel for both Aries and Uranus). The United States went to war with Libya just days after Uranus entered Aries on March 11.
Uranus last visited Aries in 1927-1935, during which time a guy named Adolf managed to brainwash a continent of disgruntled, economically disadvantaged Europeans into supporting his heinous cause. You may have been as surprised as we were by the Tea Party candidates’ speed and success in 2010. This right-wing movement, led by Sarah Palin, is giving the Republican Party a fight for its money. Candidates that are openly racist (many with military backgrounds) have won elections, despite the fact that the majority of voters are white “The Obama administration’s “Yes We Can!” chants have faded to a whisper at best. Because of the celestial timing of this political shift, Uranus in Aries will usher in a period of global leadership turmoil.
So, where can you go to escape it all? Consider hiring a space shuttle to take you to Mars. Who knows, as the red planet is the ruler of Aries. Already, Mars One, a Dutch corporation, is preparing an unmanned flight to Mars in 2020, with the goal of beginning colonization activities in 2026.
Uranus in Aries will reawaken your sense of originality on the personal level. Uranus, without a doubt, can be a bit of a rabble-rouser. In terms of our world, unquestionable happiness might be simply boring. Come down from your high-altitude meditative state. Taking your ostrich head out of the sand is a good idea. There’s a lot of unrest and tumult to deal with, so here’s a good remark from Lady Gaga to gnaw on: “Rest in peace. It does not imply that you are in an area free of trouble, noise, or hard labor. It implies “to be in the midst of those things while maintaining a peaceful heart.”
When will Neptune return?
Have faith in Neptune a little! Neptune is the astrological ruler of intuition, enchantment, glamour, spiritual craftsmanship, and deep healing, which begins with the question, “Is there another way?”
Neptune, like Pluto and Uranus, is an outside planet, which means it moves more slowly and has a greater impact on our larger life themes than the inner planets, such as Mercury and Venus, which change signs more frequently and have a greater impact on our daily lives. Neptune spends about 14 years in each sign (with occasional shorter dips into neighboring signs when it’s retrograde) and moves through the zodiac in about 160 years. Neptune entered Pisces in 2012 and will remain there until 2026. This is the first time since 1862 that it has been in Pisces!
How you connect with your highest degree of creativity and divinity, as well as your spiritual practices, is influenced by the sign Neptune was in when you were born. Neptune is currently in the sign of Pisces, which has an impact on your creativity and spirituality. Consider yourself a lamp, and Neptune the light. Your Neptune sign explains how the light heals through self-compassion as well as forgiveness for others.

What is the duration of Neptune’s transit through Pisces?
Play “Stevie Nicks” by Stevie Nicks “Blue Water” is a film starring youngsters. On December 1, Neptune, the planet of dreams, inspiration, intuition, and psychic energies, will turn direct.
Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter would be Neptune if he were a fictitious figure “Harry Potter,” he says. It’s hazy, speaks in metaphors, eats lunch in pajamas, likes third-eye embraces, and would be at ease in an aquarium or an opium den. Neptune’s position in the birth chart highlights the parts of our lives where our belief systems are the most flexible, and where we may have difficulty perceiving situations or ourselves clearly.
Neptune, unlike Venus, Mercury, and Mars, is a slow-moving outer planet that travels through all 12 zodiac signs in around 164 years. In 2011, Neptune relocated to Pisces, the gentle, escapist-leaning, sound bath-loving water sign, where it will remain until 2026.
Neptune has been stationed in retrograde since June 25. A retrograde in astrology happens when a planet appears to be traveling backwards in the sky, an optical illusion induced by the earth’s rotational motion and our perspective point. While a planet may not be back-pedaling in the strict sense, the change in pace corresponds to changes in the areas of our life that the planet influences.
Neptune’s most recent retrograde encouraged us to face our delusions, to carefully navigate our self-deception potholes, and to raise the veil and cut ties with any toxic interpersonal dynamics. Because Neptune is the planet of compassion, we may have developed a greater capacity for tenderness as a result of this retrograde, as well as a more discriminating sense of who to tenderly offer that affection to.
What is astrology’s Neptune rule?
The planet Neptune is associated with creativity. Neptune, Venus’ higher octave, raises beauty to a higher, more spiritual level. Dreams, the subconscious, illusions, fancies, and all things beautiful and enticing are all under its control.
Neptune heightens intuition while also teaching us to be deeply empathetic. Neptune frequently urges us to make sacrifices for the greater good or another’s love.
Neptune purifies, cleanses, and refines. Any planet that travels to Neptune will return purer. This planet is incapable of enduring coarseness. Neptune’s highly sensitive nature makes us more sensitive to subtlety, which enhances the artistic part of our personalities. Neptune is the god of all visual communication, including photography, film, ballet and other dance arts, music, painting, and poetry.
Neptune is also the god of the sea and all bodies of water. It regulates rain, ice, and all liquids, including beverages and alcoholic beverages. Neptune also governs medications, both the terrible ones that cause us pain and the good ones that make us feel better.
The planet Neptune is sometimes known as the “Planet of Mist.” It makes us want to leave behind our boring, everyday lives and enter a more perfect, heavenly one. It encourages us to strive for excellence and to push over our limits, rejecting any and all restraints.
However, because Neptune affects reality and blurs our perceptions of it, he may sometimes complicate matters and make it difficult to comprehend facts. Neptune might cause us to fool ourselves (or others), or just misinterpret or be misunderstood. It reigns supreme over all things glitzy and gleaming. Remember that Neptune’s visions aren’t always accurate. (It’s Saturn’s responsibility to tell us the harsh reality.) We require a source of inspiration in the form of a planet. That is Neptune’s sphere of influence.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune. The zodiac takes 146 years to revolve, with each sign lasting about fourteen years.
