Neptune in Aries ♈️ from January 27, 2026, to March 23, 2039.
Neptune represents themes that influence the collective consciousness, new ways of thinking, cult movements, and trends that people embrace in their desire for happiness and prosperity.
Neptune also represents the untamed forces of nature and everything we cannot grasp or control.
Neptune’s long, uninterrupted journey through fiery Aries begins on January 27, 2026, and lasts until March 23, 2039.
From the zero point of Aries, Neptune’s final entry marks the beginning of a completely new 165-year cycle through the zodiac.
Neptune was temporarily in Aries from March 31, 2025, but returned retrograde to Pisces for the final time on October 23, 2025, and went direct in Pisces on December 10, 2025.
Neptune in Pisces from the beginning of 2012 to the beginning of 2026 was the era of idealism, woke culture, and humanity’s unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, as well as the ecological collapse of ecosystems due to pollution, overconsumption, and climate change.
Neptune in Aries has been associated with war, battles, and cultural change throughout the centuries.
The beginning of the American Civil War in 1861 and the beginning of the end of the Habsburg Empire coincided with Neptune’s entry into Aries. It was also the era of the Industrial Revolution, large steamships, the first submarine, and the invention of dynamite in 1966.
Major developments in science, technology, art, and transportation, such as Darwin’s theory of evolution in 1859, also marked this era.
From an everyday astrological perspective, a look back at the previous Neptune in Aries (1862–1875) offers valuable insight, which was characterized by a fiery ideological struggle for freedom. More than a century and a half later, with Neptune in Aries, we will experience a similar ideological struggle. History repeats itself in a different form, but the symbolic themes will remain largely the same for the next 14 years.
Neptune in Aries is a combination of visionary inspiration and bold action, both on a personal and collective level. There’s no room for egocentrism, hypocrisy, and dogmatism, which explains the crumbling belief and power structures around us.
In the first years of Neptune in Aries, Saturn in Aries will increase authoritarianism and political and social polarization, as well as revolt against the federal government.
If the urge for individual freedoms is met with authoritarianism, separatism will rise.
Neptune in Aries signals a transition to a period of bold action.
Neptune in Aries represents social activism and dreamers who dare to manifest visions into reality. People will fight for their freedom and beliefs; demonstrations will become increasingly aggressive, direct, and confrontational.
We will see increasing political activism in the next decade and a half, as Aquarius energy challenges societal norms and values through political debates surrounding transgender rights, individual freedoms, sovereignty, and autonomy.
Geopolitically, we are seeing a strong rise of right-wing populism, political shifts in Germany, and tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran.
Confused leaders using fiery rhetoric, a culture of fear, propaganda, violations of civil rights, oppression, genocide, femicide, dehumanization, and the deprivation of human autonomy and fundamental freedoms.
Threats of war, emergency packages, armaments, conscription, preparing for disaster or war—all of this relates to Neptune in Aries.
With Neptune in Aries, we must also consider the end of inclusivity and compassion, increased border enforcement, conflicts and warfare based on disinformation that will only be recognized as such in hindsight, the rise of virtual reality and confusion about what is real and what is not, political polarization, and the collapse of banks and governing bodies.
Due to climate and environmental issues, housing will remain a major problem. Neptune rules healing, and in Aries, major strides are being made in medicine, particularly in alternative, holistic medicine and advanced stem cell therapies.
Viruses will frequently resurface, along with fertility problems and declining birth rates related to environmental pollution or infections.
In addition to a huge boost for the pharmaceutical industry, there will also be a significant increase in the use of narcotics, a rise in lung infections and difficult-to-diagnose neurological disorders, and more cardiovascular disease, migraines, and strokes.
Extreme droughts and fires, followed by floods, unusual weather patterns, water scarcity, reduced insect populations, and invasive species and/or infections harmful to natural ecosystems and animals, are becoming increasingly common.
Neptune symbolizes water, seas, and oceans, and in combination with Aries (ruled by Mars), we should consider rising seawater temperatures.
With Neptune in Aries, the risk of power outages and grid failures also increases. AI technology will lead to even greater demand for electricity in the coming years, requiring urgent measures and innovations in energy supply to support its progress, such as nanotechnology.
I also expect more maritime incidents, ecological disasters, and military conflicts at sea over oil and gas reserves.
Mountain glaciers are disappearing rapidly, and sea levels are rising due to melting ice caps. Water will become scarce, and desalination will be used to produce drinking water.
Commercial flights to the Moon and Mars in search of water and raw materials will also occur.
The dark side of Neptune can lead to a disconnect from reality, with the rise of AI making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between reality and reality. Aries rules conflict, and Neptune distorts reality, so be prepared for global conflicts fueled by deception and false information, cyber warfare, data attacks, virtual deception, and attacks driven by AI and secret ideological groups online and in the real world. Virtual reality and facial recognition (Aries = head) are being deployed on a large scale, resulting in disconnection from reality and isolation from human interaction.
Neptune in Aries also heralds a cultural renaissance of artistic and spiritual inspiration and creative expression for artists, filmmakers, musicians, and writers. Traditional male roles are disappearing, and employment opportunities are being displaced by technology, artificial intelligence, automation, robotization, and androgynous styles, fashion, and romanticized and idealized masculinity.
There will be a shift in family structure and parenting, lower birth rates, and an aging population. Traditional roles between men and women will blur.
Whatever happens, Neptune in Aries is part of the enormous course change currently underway, along with Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and, starting in the second half of 2026, Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries.
Decentralization is unstoppable, no matter what the globalists try to do.
With Neptune in Aries, supported by Pluto in Aquarius, an era of creative, ideological, emotional, and spiritual freedom will dawn that will be unique to our time.
The path to these freedoms, however, will be accompanied by struggle, conflict, and rebellion.
Neptune in Aries is both uplifting and tumultuous. Neptune in Aries is the spiritual warrior. Spirituality is changing. Instead of “trust the universe,” a different term will emerge: “become the universe.” Spirituality in action!
Changes will be gradual and subtle, because Neptune in Aries is a slow process, and changes don’t happen overnight.
Neptune in Aries is one of the most dynamic, tumultuous, and transformative periods humanity has ever experienced. With the Neptune transit in Aries, we can only hope that the world will be engulfed in a wave of evolved consciousness from the higher realms of consciousness.
From February 15 to 22, 2026 (exactly on February 20, 2026), Saturn, the Lord of Karma, will conjunct Neptune at 0 degrees in Aries, and a major political shift could occur in Russia.
More on that in a future news item!

You are drawn to artistic and spiritual partnerships, both at work and in your personal life.
Neptune in Aries opposes Libra, so it’s a challenge to face your shadow side in how you connect with others and where you fail. Neptune in Aries challenges you to explore the deeper layers of your emotions, to understand where patterns of doubt, fear, or insecurity have shaped your interactions and your sense of self-worth.
