How Neptune Shocks You into Reality

Neptune in Aries is a wake-up call like no other. After 14 years of illusion in Pisces, Neptune crashes into Aries’ bold energy, forcing you to face reality. No more avoiding, no more drifting—this is your cosmic truth bomb.

Neptune’s Star Story

This is a massive wakeup call into the New Era!

Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1862 through 1875, so there’s no one alive who’s experienced this energy. Also, Saturn is going to enter this same energy in May, so this wake up is filled with reality and extended into the practical over a 3-year period.

The exact dates for Neptune in Aries are:

  • March 30, 2025: Neptune enters Aries
  • October 22, 2025: Neptune retrogrades into Pisces
  • January 26, 2026: Neptune re-enters Aries until 2038
  • May 21, 2038: Neptune dips into Taurus
  • October 21, 2038: Neptune revisits Aries
  • March 23, 2039: Neptune enters Taurus until 2052

March 30th is a huge wakeup call, especially since Neptune was in Pisces for the last 14 years that was like a hall of mirrors, altering what’s true and what’s fake. It was a great time for art, film and media, but not a good time for viruses, realism or pioneering the new world you’re trying to dream into reality. This was a lazy, contented, “I-can-kick-the-can-down-the-road” or “Let-someone-else-deal-with-it” energy for the last 14 years.

First, Neptune

Neptune’s ultimate quest is direct connection to the divine.

The quote of Neptune should be, “I help you talk to your soul”.

The persona of Neptune is “the stoner who misses life by smoking weed all day, like Spicoli in Fast Times of Ridgemont High.”

Phrases for Neptune

God of Sea, blank slate, mind without thought, pure being, be aware of everything, just be without doing, creativity, imagination, mysticism, dreams, spirituality, heartbeat of religion, delicate sense of intuition, connecting to everything that is, mystics, shamans, artists, also escape from reality.

Neptune’s worldview words

great strides in art, music and media, including books, dance, theater, TV, movies; illusion, fantasy, higher level of consciousness, spiritual reality, religion, dreams, oceans and seas, water, rain, ice, liquid, drugs, medicines: addiction, delusion, persuasion, fake news, manipulation through lies and deception.

Then, Aries

Aries’ ultimate quest is courage.

The quote of Aries should be, “I spark life”.

The persona of Aries is “the adventurous action hero Maverick in Top Gun or Mulan in the same-named Disney movie”.

Phrases for Aries

Natural leader, ambitious, passionate, confident, fiery spirit, competitive, brave, energetic, straightforward, pioneer, adventurer, 1st to create something new, innovator, initiator, move quickly, ferocity, help others in profound ways, courageous, daring, bold, enthusiastic, strong-willed, concerned with self; impatient, willful, aggressive, angry – need to find inspiration and enthusiasm and act on it to lead others to do so as well.

Aries’ worldview words

forward movement, fiery, competition, war, new growth, overcome obstacles, ambition, seek new territory, leadership, independence, bullying, combative, domination.

Next, The Neptune-Aries Combination

When Neptune hits Aries, Spicoli comes out of his van and notices that everyone at his high school is so much younger than him. He’s 30 years old and still a senior in high school! Man, that time flew – how did that happen?

Neptune lulled him into a sense of delusion and complacency, but now? It’s wake up time.

With Neptune in Aries, there’s the chance for lots of pioneering efforts supporting the New Era, to combine the gifts of the feminine (intuition) with the strengths of the masculine (innovation). The softer Neptunian influences meet the ambitious get-it-done attitude of Aries. This is the upside.

The downside of Neptune in Aries is when idealism meets aggression. This is when pioneering efforts fall into rebellion. Aries wins over Neptune. Neptune is in his fall in the sign of Aries as he gets burned by Aries fiery nature.

Neptune in Aries send signals for civil war, with uprisings and quests for freedom and independence. Throughout history, the American Civil War in 1862, along with Uranus in Gemini, the crusades in the 1200’s and the Hundreds Year War between England and France in the 1300’s.

The most remarkable time with Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius was in the 1530-1540’s signified by the reformation of the Church of England, the Industrial Revolution and Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Finally, Your Star Chart

What does all of this mean for you?

The stars in the sky interact with each other during their spins and cycles, yet they also interact with you through your natal chart, otherwise named your birth chart. Your birth chart is a picture of the stars the minute you were born, representing the life you long to live. Your birth stars depict your signatures of love, money and success and your expressions of bravery, mastery and destiny.

Your birth chart is your map of potential and the planets or stars in the sky interact with your birth stars every minute of every day. As my mentor, Steven Forrest, always says, “The planets either work you or you work the planets.

Let’s see how Neptune in Aries are going to impact your star chart. As Neptune enters Aries, the effects are worldwide, affecting everyone on the planet. Yet everyone feels this star configuration differently, depending on where Aries is on your chart.

Phrases associated with your Star Chart are: map of potential, what you might become, your chosen life, pathway to you, process for your growth.

Step #3: Find Neptune & Your House Number

You’ll get a picture with green symbols outside of the circle. These are the stars in the sky called transits.

  • On your star chart, look for the green Neptune, which is outside the circle. It should be near ♈ Aries. Neptune enters Aries on March 30, 2025, so depending upon when you’re reading this, the ♆ will be near Aries.
  • Once you find the ♆, move into the center of the chart until you get a house number.
  • Note the number.

Neptune in the Houses Table

As Neptune moves from his own sign of Pisces into the fiery Aries, he gets hit with a force that wakes him up from his last 14 years of sleepy energy. He’s been lulled into a sense of complacency. Suddenly, he’s awake. When Neptune wakes up, he awakens you. Your rose-colored glasses come off and suddenly you see people and things for who and what they truly are.

This is like a truth bomb.

On March 30, you get a wakeup call unlike any other in your life. How will reality blast into your life? What will you wish you had done before now? How will you remedy making it real in order to succeed in the next 14 years?
