Neptune enters Aries

In traditional astrology, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are signifiers of collective change. From 2023 to 2026 all three are changing signs. Pluto is now firmly in Aquarius, having transitioned from Capricorn in 2023 and 2024. Both Neptune and Uranus will begin their transition into a new sign this year, Neptune into Aries and Uranus into Gemini. Neptune begins its transition on March 30.

In traditional astrology, Neptune represents cosmic consciousness, inspiration, imagination, intuition and – in its shadow – illusion, confusion, delusion. In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Neptune is allied with Nephthys, Keeper of the Mysteries Behind the Veils.

Nephthys is the twin sister of Isis. While Isis is a solar goddess associated with the fierce light of the Sun, Nephthys is a lunar goddess aligned with the mysteries of the night. In myth, Nephthys is both the devoted companion of her sister and also her betrayer.

During the 14-year transit of Neptune through Pisces issues of deception and betrayal have come to the fore of our collective consciousness. An essential question emerged: What is truth? Neptune moving through Aries will shift our focus to another question: What is right action? Because it is the Hidden One who is the focus of the question, the answer will not be clear. With Neptune/Nephthys, nothing is as it seems.

Neptune/Nephthys enters Aries on March 30, 8:00 am EDT. On October 25, Neptune will retrograde back into Pisces for a final visit before returning to Aries on January 26.
