Not only is it currently Aries Season, but Neptune just entered Aries, which last happened in 1861. What exactly occurred in 1861? This marked the American Civil War, which led to the abolition of slavery in the US. Since Neptune will be in Aries until 2039, the next 14 years of this generational shift will drastically change the collective. Here are some themes to expect and helpful practices to navigate this once-in-a-lifetime astrology transit.
Identity Crisis Issues
What matters to me and why? This will be the primary question you address throughout this Neptune in Aries transit. Aries rules the first house in astrology, which is associated with the body, identity, and persona. As a result, you will be motivated toward a journey of self-exploration and question your personal values. Neptune in Aries could also indicate body image issues due to potential illusions based on beauty standards and how you perceive your physique. Feeling out of your body or having an out-of-body experience is a possibility. Ultimately, to ensure a sense of security with self, working towards self-awareness will be instrumental during this period.
Self-awareness requires forming an intentional relationship with yourself. Journal and meditate on what shapes your identity and how much of it was imposed on you. If your identifiable factors such as gender, race, and religion, were stripped from you, who would you be? Would you still choose the same name and cultural traditions if you had the choice in your upbringing? Asking these questions while spending time in solitude is a helpful practice to stay grounded in your identity or discover a completely hidden version of yourself. Self-care practices such as affirmations or taking yourself on dates will also help boost self-confidence.
Spiritual Warfare or Spiritual Warrior?
A spiritual awakening is another expected theme the collective should anticipate within the next 14 years. Neptune is the planet of dreams, illusions, and mysticism, while Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of war. Therefore, you might experience spiritual warfare by questioning the entire basis of your religious beliefs. This could also show up as religious fanaticism, with a rise in spiritual gurus or the formation of cults. It is important to be aware of spiritual psychosis, a mental condition that blurs an individual’s perception of reality based on their spiritual beliefs. The lines between a spiritual awakening and spiritual psychosis can be easily blurred so discernment is key.
Neptune in Aries will remind you that you can experience the divine and access a higher power by yourself. It is a reminder that you have equal access to the universe as certified religious practitioners or spiritual leaders. This can lead to a collective desire to express spiritual beliefs, but it is important to avoid forcing our views onto others. Aries is a forceful and passionate energy, so spiritual warriors will be formed during this transit. While your faith in self may be strengthened during this time, it is helpful to ground it in reality. Is your spirituality centered on compassion and empathy for the collective or do you use it to justify harming others?
The Subconscious is Conscious
Since Neptune is associated with your subconscious mind, mental health awareness will be an important theme while Neptune is in Aries. Subconscious triggers and repressed traumas will be brought to the forefront, and you will have to face them head-on. Neptune is the planet of escaping reality, so toxic escapist tendencies through drugs, sex, or alcohol will be addressed. There could be an increase in people self-medicating through psychedelics to awaken spiritually or avoid underlying mental health issues. Neptune in Aries could highlight anxiety, paranoia, depression, or suicidal ideation which makes it an ideal time to heal traumas.
This transit will amplify the collective subconscious by forcing people to connect with that hidden part of themselves. Having a healthy relationship with your subconscious allows you to embrace the full aspect of who you are, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Disregarding your subconscious will result in unhealthy emotional regulation when your traumas are triggered. Therefore, using this transit to merge your subconscious with your conscious mind is highly beneficial for your mental health. Reflecting on your conflict resolution and anger management skills through therapy, journaling, or meditation is a great practice while Neptune is in Aries.
Soul Path Journey
Creative expression is a big aspect of Neptune’s energy and since Aries has to do with self, creative self-expression will bloom during the next 14 years. Authenticity and rawness in the entertainment industry and social media platforms will be embraced with Neptune in Aries. Aries is all about action, so you will be called to embrace your soul path at this time. It is a time to have faith in your soul’s mission and take inspired action toward your purpose. The North Node, which indicates your destined direction in this lifetime, is currently in the sign of Pisces and will stay there till the summer of next year. Since Neptune rules Pisces in modern astrology, the North Node in Pisces energy is being influenced by this Neptune in Aries transit.
This is the time to tap more into your intuition and psychic ability. It is the time to unlock your spiritual gifts and share them with the world unapologetically. A great way to tap into your soul’s path is to reflect on what makes you feel alive. If you didn’t have to work or worry about finances, what would you spend your free time doing? How can your passion benefit collective wellness? Start acting toward your dreams using this North Node in Pisces transit which will set the tone for the next 14 years of Neptune in Aries.
