Aquarius Season Horoscopes

This Aries Season, Neptune is moving into Aries where it will be until 2039 (after a brief retrograde back into Pisces later this year). Neptune transits last approximately 14 years and marks shifts in the collective around what we aspire to, what our collective dreams and fantasies are, and how we invest our faith and magical thinking.

Since 2011, Neptune has been in Pisces, the sign it co-rules with Jupiter. Neptune in Pisces has seen the collective impacted by the spread of internet culture, mainstreaming of alternative spiritual beliefs, but also mass disillusionment in the form of increased legitimacy for conspiracy theories, misinformation and disinformation affecting our collective understanding, and the power of social media and internet culture to inspire and connect us, allowing us to tap into a more universal sense of human empathy, but also to disillusion us

Last time Neptune was in Aries was from 1862 to 1875. During that time, the United States experienced a Civil War, Reconstruction, and the beginning of Jim Crow. The world saw the expansion of European colonialism across the globe as well as the Geneva convention, in some ways more advanced and brutal forms of warfare, but with more rules and an articulation of what “civilized” warfare should (emphasis on should) be. Karl Marx published Das Kapital, and Charles Darwin published Origin of Species, both foundational social theories that defined our modern era.

Neptune in Aries this time might have us as a collective more willing to fight for our idealistic, philosophical, and spiritual beliefs and willing to put effort and energy behind those beliefs. Global events might be fast and dynamic (even more so than they are already). Neptune in Pisces since 2011 has witnessed the  flourishing and mainstreaming of alternative spiritual beliefs. Now in Aries, Neptune might have people willing to defend, fight, and assert those beliefs, which may lead to cultural clashes.

Neptune blurs everything that it touches, making things both harder to grasp and discern but also more aspirational, dream-like and fantasy-like. Neptune in our natal charts is our fantasy of the highest, most perfect version of ourselves that we aspire to. Neptune cycles asks us to seek perfection or samadhi (a state of pure connection with the Divine) within a particular area of life, knowing that we may never reach that perfection, but in the quest, we become more attuned to the subtle and spiritual meaning behind that area of life, or in our own personal capacity that is channeled by our natal placements. 

Aries

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you experiencing the darker side of humanity, whether through personal tragedy or bearing witness to the suffering of the world, that has allowed you to understand the deeper meaning and purpose that you want to serve in this life. 

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a bit of a “sobering” up effect, taking stock of what you’ve psychologically have had to endure that you might have romanticized or were unable to see clearly over the past decade or so.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from taking in and absorbing the bigger meaning of life, to integrating those big lessons by creating a curated self that is the intentional medium for those bigger learnings. Out of a period of transpersonal contemplation, you’re incarnating and manifesting yourself as action-oriented, concentrating power in your being self.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in the self. This work gives bigger meaning to your Aries mission to stand on who you want to be in the world by going at it independently, boldly, and assertively. The curated self and core personality become a bigger, deeper, more meaningful vessel for your transpersonal mission in this lifetime.

However, watch out for self-aggrandizement that doesn’t allow you to see yourself clearly, especially how you might be received by others.

Aquarius season highlights your social networks, ideologies, and friend groups. Reflect on how your dynamic social world is a stage for you to show up and present yourself.

Taurus

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you seeking the perfect community, friend group, and social vision that share your deeper and more emotive/creative dreams for yourself and the world around you.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of how you may have over-romanticized certain friend groups, ideologies, or social collectives.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from expanding your social networks by creating a community around you that shares and supports your artistic and emotive vision, into personal and existential experiences that have you confronting the deeper meaning behind that vision. Out of a period of reassessing and realizing your bigger dreams for yourself and the world around you, you are now seeking the deeper, more irreducible meaning behind those dreams.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking the grand answers to the grand questions of life as you confront the shadow side of humanity. You may also become more acquainted with your own latent ambition, drive, and desire. This confrontation with universal and existential forces serve your Taurian mission to concretize purpose and your life force into material and sustainable form, becoming a more grounded, rooted, and embodied presence in the world.

However, watch out for psychic overflow in the form vague but concerning health concerns, intense dreams, overall weird luck/bad vibes, or substance abuse - all manifestations of your increased sensitivity to the spiritual realm and/or unseen forces.

Aquarius season highlights your career and public mission and any emerging re-orientation to career. Reflect on how your public mission in the world is a testament to your larger, more transpersonal purpose.

Gemini 

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you seeking the perfect career, business, or public mission in the world that embodies your vision of servant-leadership or as an artist or mystic.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of how an over-romanticized vision of what your career or public mission should be might have disillusioned you or made you unable to see certain parts of your career goals clearly.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from taking on the world’s suffering as your public mission in the world, into becoming an active agent of change for the world. Out of a period of finding your identity and voice as a capable and responsible agent in the world, you transmute that energy into a dynamic force you can use as a social change-maker.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in your social vision and in the groups that you work with to achieve that vision. Your role in service to the collective becomes a more meaningful vessel for how you contribute to the larger body politic, and furthers the Gemini mission of embodying a livewire, sharing and exchanging information and knowledge with the world around you.

However, watch out for self-aggrandizing the role you play in the social world or politically or romanticizing the people or causes you believe in, as you may not always be able to see yourself clearly in the context of the social groups or causes you’re fighting for.

Aquarius season highlights your larger belief systems and sources of higher wisdom. Reflect on how your radical commitment to your larger beliefs informs and animates your social vision.

Cancer

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you working to better understand your higher belief systems that expand your sense of self in the world, whether through a course of study, travel or encounters with foreign places, or engagement with high religion, philosophy, or law.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of how your investment and potential romanticization of a course of study, religion, or higher belief system might have disillusioned you or not allowed you to see your beliefs clearly.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from your work of gleaning wisdom from the experiences you’ve gained and deepening that wisdom through intentional study, into a role where you’re ready to make a name for yourself by carving out your independent path.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking the perfect career. Your quest for professional identity will serve your Cancerian mission of finding a place of true belonging and personal fulfillment/nourishment in the world. As you express your raw ambition, you deepen what it means to stand out in the world and take charge, by leading with a courageous heart in a way that others will follow.

However, watch out for an overly inflated role that career or personal ambition might play in your life, as you may not be able to see the path you’re carving out clearly.

Aquarius season highlights your shared resources, interdependent bonds, and emotional entanglements. Reflect on how making a name for yourself in the world allows you to support and be supported by your interdependent bonds.

Leo

The last fourteen years, Neptune has magnified the vision for you of a shared life and how sharing life’s responsibilities with a select group of others can enrich you materially, spiritually, and emotionally. 

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of how enmeshing your life with others has given you a different orientation to self and realizing how you may have over-romanticized some co-dependent tendencies.

When Neptune transits into Aries on Janaury 27, you move from working through emotional entanglements and codependency, to rising above the fray of everyday life as you become a pioneer, visionary, seer, thought leader, and high teacher. Out of understanding the depths of your psychological and emotional imprints, you rise above as a seer and a visionary with a zealous, fresh, and evocative perspective on life.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in your higher truths, philosophies, and metanarratives about the world and your place in it. You may be zealously fighting for what you believe in as you become a more directed vessel for higher truth and wisdom to flow. In this role, you serve your Leo mission to stand out as someone unique, who has something meaningful and authentic to contribute to the world.

However, watch out for dogmatic or ideological zealotry or travel to faraway and unknown places that might disillusion you to the true nature of your beliefs, as you may not always be able to see clearly the consequences of your beliefs onto the larger world or onto your own life and wellbeing.

Aquarius season highlights your dynamic partnerships and significant relationships. Reflect on how the right others act as an accurate mirror, sounding board, and counterbalance for you.

Virgo

The last fourteen years, Neptune has allowed you to pour your emotive and spiritual gifts as well as your hopes and desires into finding the perfect partnership, seeking the right other that inspires your highest self.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of whether or not the partnerships you’ve entered really give to you as much as they take. You may notice now how you might have over-romanticized a relationship or a significant other or what it is you can do through and with others.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from deepening your commitment to a partnership or significant relationships that inspire you, into doing the real work of building a shared life, one that reflects your own needs and desires and honors your independence. You could also take an interest in the spiritual or the occult as a way to access your own deeper, psychological realms.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in your built and shared life. This focus on perfection gives deeper meaning to your Virgo mission as the fixer, adjuster, and purifier of the zodiac, as you become a vessel for sussing out what needs to be transformed or discarded, what’s useful and what’s not, and what cycles need to be reproduced in new, more intentional forms.

However, watch out for potentially putting your trust in the wrong people, institutions, or practices as you may not always have the ability to see and understand clearly your own subconscious motivations.

Aquarius season highlights your daily habits, work life, and routines. Reflect on how attending to the day-to-day is the foundation of any shared life or how your rituals, work, and labor bind you.

Libra

The last fourteen years, Neptune has allowed you to find deeper meaning and spiritual/emotional fulfillment through your work and daily routines, habits, and rituals. You may now understand in a deeper sense that you are and you become whatever it is you commit yourself to each day. 

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of and being able to appreciate in a more grounded way the effects that your daily habits, routines, work and rituals have had on you. 

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from refining and working on your skills and taking on a lot of responsibility in your daily life, to now knowing what you have to offer others in relationship and what the right others can bring to a partnership where your desires can manifest within the relational space. By doing the hard work in the shadows and in service to others in order to refine your skills, you are ready to come to the table confident in what you bring and knowing what others can do for you and bring as well.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection or the ideal in your partnerships and significant relationships. This work gives bigger meaning to your Libran mission of establishing harmony, unity, and relational balance in the world. By perfecting your methods of building consensus, you use the perfect partnership as a vehicle for breaking through to new terrains and getting what you truly want from and with others.

However, watch out for over-idealizing or investing too much in others to live out your ideals, as you may not be able to see others clearly, especially those with whom you partner.

Aquarius season highlights your passion projects, hobbies, romances, and creative endeavors. Reflect on how your ability to authentically fulfill yourself creates the right balance between the fullness of who you are with the fullness of another.

Scorpio

The last fourteen years, Neptune has infused your creative and romantic life with mystical and whimsical energy, as you sought perfection in how you cultivate an authentic you or cultivate a relationship to your inner-child as the creative project of your life. 

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering” up effect, taking stock of the effects of over-idealizing or over-romanticizing the objects of your affection or what you invested in to bring you greater personal fulfillment. 

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from learning to value your authentic self in a deeper and more loving way as you center yourself as the creative project of your life, to learning to assert yourself and defend those innermost parts of yourself in everything you do. 

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in your routines, rituals, work, and dedicated areas of service. You may need to attune to the body and how you take care of your physical self as the vessel through which the authentic core must exist and express itself. You may also need to find work, service, or rituals that help you manifest your spiritual gifts in material form. Through the rituals of daily life, you give bigger meaning to your Scorpio mission to engage with power in all its forms, peeling back the superficial and living within the authentic, real, and irreducible. 

However, watch out for over-idealizing or over identifying with what you do, as you may not be able to separate in a healthy way who you are from the work you do, especially if that work is demanding or emotionally involved in some way.

Aquarius season highlights your home life and places of emotional belonging. Reflect on how your reorientation toward home and your role within your home informs what responsibilities of daily life you pick up.

Sagittarius 

The last fourteen years, Neptune may have made the idea of a home, a secure place of emotional belonging for yourself, an elusive yet inspirational concept to you, as you sought to create or recreate the perfect home for yourself, maybe trying to recreate the idyllic memories of your childhood home.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of the effects of over-romanticizing or over-idealizing home as your personal anchor.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from creating home as a foundation of emotional belonging and security for yourself, to stepping out of that secure place in order to create something authentic to who you are in this lifetime, understanding that the true self needs not only security, but also creative expression in order to thrive.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in everything you do that is an authentic expression of who you are. This quest for creative expression and authenticity gives bigger meaning to your Sagittarian mission to follow your highest truth and highest purpose in life. You may find that your rich and expansive imagination or your fantasies of how you see yourself or who you wish to be is a vehicle for creative inspiration, embodied purpose, and taking risks necessary for self-actualization.

However, watch out for over-romanticizing the objects of your affection, as you may not be able to see yourself clearly during this time.

Aquarius season highlights your local environments, social connections, and communicative projects. Reflect on how your connection to a social world is the medium through which you find and express yourself.

Capricorn

The last fourteen years, Neptune has infused with mysticism your social mediums and communicative projects and your connection to your local environment, siblings, peers, and neighborly relationships.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, taking stock of the effects of over-romanticizing or over-idealizing a local community, peer group, or communicative project or medium.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from watering the ground with which your life exists and that you plant yourself in, to putting down and establishing roots by taking on more responsibility and ownership on the home front.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in your private, intimate, and home life. Deep attunement to your private identity gives bigger meaning to your Capricorn mission of establishing a secure and responsible place for yourself in the world, one where the perfect home life becomes a vehicle for reassessing and relating to early childhood conditioning in order to better understand your desires. For example, how might the way in which your inner desires or sense of individual identity cultivated within your family of origin now manifest as a desire for self-assertion and taking the lead in your home life?

However, watch out for over-romanticizing the perfect ideal of home or the people with whom you share home, as you may not be able to clearly see the anchors that tether you to your foundation.

Aquarius season highlights your money and material resources. Reflect on how your your ability to earn and steward your material resources can support your foundations of home.

Aquarius 

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you appreciating how money and material resources are a form of energetic exchange between you and the Universe and/or how attracting the resources you need to sustain yourself requires a more embodied, secure, and attached sense of self.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering” up effect, taking stock of how you’ve earned, stewarded, and related to money. You may realize that you’ve over-idealized or over-romanticized the role money or materiality plays in your life, for example, under appreciating or taking for granted how you earn and steward money or how you cultivate the skills or talents necessary to sustain yourself.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from collecting and stewarding resources for yourself, into transmuting that energy into a dynamic form that you can use to connect with the world around you and exchange not materiality, but instead, ideas, information, and sociality.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection through your mediums for sociality i.e. writing and speaking projects, social media, local networks, and urban environments. This work gives bigger meaning to your Aquarian mission to connect with the universal/every-man by finding creative and dynamic ways to express your ideas and communicate and exchange those ideas with the people you find right around you.

However, watch out for over-romanticizing your community or local context, for example if you move to a new city, as you may not be able to see clearly the reality of your neighborly relationships. 

Aquarius season highlights your personal presence, aesthetic, and how you’re received by others. Reflect on how your local context is the setting on which you can speak the real you.

Pisces

The last fourteen years, Neptune has had you seeking to refine your sense of self and how you want to be received by those around you, especially partners, or significant or important others.

With both Saturn and Neptune finishing their respective transits through Pisces, you may feel a “sobering up” effect, feeling your sense of self concretize, maybe becoming more aware of the traits and qualities of yourself that others perceive and respond to.

When Neptune transits into Aries on January 27, you move from the quest of locating your sense of self and the “you” you want to be, to cultivating the skills necessary to earn and sustain yourself. Out of a season of recognizing your inherent worth, you now are taking directed action in getting what you need and deserve. The lesson could be that earning what your worth requires action, initiative, and assertiveness.

Neptune until 2039 will have you seeking perfection in how you cultivate the skills necessary to earn money, material resources, and/or external validation. Material resources during this time can come from tapping into your ambitious, entrepreneurial, or assertive nature or through investing in your dreams. This furthers your Pisces mission to embody the flow of the life force and your intuition that can be intentionally channeled by carving out an independent path for yourself, making the way as you walk it. 

However, watch out for over-idealizing your material or money matters or the ways in which you earn money, as you may not be able to see your material matters clearly. 

Aquarius season highlights your more transpersonal matters and your areas of retreat or isolation. Reflect on how the spiritual allows you to connect with your inherent worth, of which money is only one expression.
