You will hear a lot of negativity about the upcoming constricting Saturn and nebulous Neptune conjunction in Pisces. The first round will start in April 2025, and it will perfect in Aries at 0° Feb 2026.

The low vibrating predictions involve conflict in certain areas of life that can throw you off balance, set confusion and blur all that you’ve been passionate about or working towards. I’m here to let you know there is a bright outcome once Saturn’s dance with Neptune wanes in March 2026. It is a blessing in disguise as each planet continues a dance with Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune connects in harmony with Uranus in Gemini. The conjunction gives you a chance to different parts of yourself that increases your value in the changing transactional, social landscape.

Let’s break it down.

I’ll start with the first conjunction in Pisces and follow it up with Aries.

Currently, Saturn is in Pisces, in Neptune’s territory. Wherever Saturn goes, it wants you to be realistic, work hard, create boundaries and put effort in what matters. In the sign of Pisces, you can apply that to your dreams, creative aspirations to make them reality, spirituality as a daily practice, or generally creating more flow in life, becoming emotionally intelligent, and developing compassion. 

For example, if Saturn is crossing your 7th house of relationship in Pisces, consider how boundaries can create a sustainable connection. You might want to work on your sensitivity, emotional status. It could be about getting real about the needs and expectations of others. Practice ways to improve relationships as a life-long habit. Saturn rewards you for discipline, tenacity and resilience. 

Come April, Saturn will move closer to Neptune, an opposite energy that expands instead of limits, dissolves instead of creates, and accepts instead of excludes. It works with reality vs. imagination. Neptune works subtly, requiring you to accept things as they are through faith and hope, believe in something higher, and experience it through trust, prayers, and miracles.

Slower-moving Neptune’s influence is much more potent than Saturn’s, especially since they’re in Piscean, Neptune-ruled waters when they first meet.

So what does that mean?

All the edges of your goals, what you’ve been working towards to improve and build on can start to lose its definition. There might be a feeling of inadequacy, confusion and insecurity. There will be a loss of control, maybe even authority, a position of power. Your Saturn edges and limitations can thin in Neptune’s haze. Foundations, structures might not be as solid. Your goals, bonds you’ve created, work you’ve built, possessions you attained or hold dear, and values you set will suddenly give new meaning, for some, in shocking ways. 

My mother was born with this conjunction, and her upbringing and experience exemplify the negatives about the influence. She is the youngest of four children. Her parents separated when she was a toddler. The conjunction happened in the sign of Libra—she experienced the pain of her parent’s relationship dissolving, and soon after, she also experienced separation from her siblings. When her mother married another man and had more children, her aunt adopted her, while her 3 siblings lived with other relatives. Her foundation crumbled, leaving her displaced and insecure.

Uranus was also transiting through her stellium of planets in Cancer (home), which included her Moon (home) and squaring the conjunction. She had a bit of help with Pluto in Leo sextile the conjunction. Clearly, her situation wasn’t off to a good start. However, the abrupt changes had a Uranus silver edge. Her mother’s sister took her in and raised her as her own. My mom talks about her second mother in the most loving light. She says her experience with her as a child was amazing. My mother had it the best compared to her siblings. Her aunt didn’t have any children until her son was born years later, giving my 3-year-old mother full attention and doting—my mother has a healthy sense of confidence.

The treatment she would never have gotten, as the youngest of four, and then displaced in rank when her biological mother had four more children and her father added another six. At the end of it all, my mom claims she was also well taken care of by her oldest sister while in college and out of all her siblings, she was the closest to one of her half-sisters on her mother’s side. As an adult and accepting mother, she highlights the positive impact of her childhood. The radical change in home, in the traditional family dynamic, eventually worked to her benefit. 

So, what is the best move during the conjunction? (More on the benefits later.)

Compared to the young child that was my mother, you have control of your situation and can learn to let go of where you don’t. When it comes to Neptune, it is about surrendering and knowing where your tethers are. 

To start, let go of what naturally falls to the wayside, including general Saturn things like boundaries, limitations, rules, the past, and old structures that aren’t for your highest good anymore.  

In Pisces: A more subtle effect— let the delusions, the superficial, unhealthy imaginings, negative emotions, addictions and the patterns that have held you back get washed away.

Then apply them to the house(s) under the influence and where your Mars sits and transits in your natal chart. 

The Opposite House and Sign, plus Uranus as Tethers:

When there’s too much energy in one area of life, balance can be found in the opposite house and sign.

On the other side of Pisces is Virgo and practicing discernment, improvement, and daily rituals that keep you reality-based. The magic (Neptune) is about being present in tasks, routines and enjoying them in a healthy way. The South Node will be in Virgo, so more than ever, finding balance in the Pisces Virgo axis of your chart is critical. 

What are the indicators of a balanced life under the conjunctions influence?

It includes enjoyment in your daily life. You’re not overwhelmed, there’s a spiritual touch or creative excitement to what you do consistently. Your moods don’t fluctuate; you don’t get pulled in every direction. 

Example: if the conjunction is happening in your 10th house, you’re letting go of expectations, past structures that no longer work, unrealistic goals and desires, and fanciful imaginings to reach the top or attain a pinnacle status. Your spiritual or artistic career can take on a new meaning. If it sets confusion or leads you astray, your fourth house of home, comfort, family origins, and body can be your lifeline. The fourth house naturally grounds too. Hang out with family more, make it a thing. Work to improve (Virgo) on what actually nourishes your body and soul. Virgo habits in the opposite 4th house can be the tethers in Neptune’s nebulous seas. 

Uranus in Taurus Support

While Neptune in Pisces will be ahead within a 10* orb to Saturn, Uranus Taurus will sextile Saturn starting late Feb 2025 in a tight orb until May 2025 before Saturn moves into Aries. Neptune, at this point, will be in Aries at 1°. Unlike the challenging aspect with Uranus in my mother’s chart, Uranus will support the conjunction, but it will require effort to make things work to your advantage. 

Act (Aries) preemptively, make bold changes that appease Neptune, and look at the situation through different lens by sparking your imagination and creativity. Act on your values to grasp reality. Do things that keep you in your body, five senses, and earthly pleasures. You’ll find value when you stay present and take it one beat at a time. 

As a side note, Neptune has been in a harmonious dance with Taurus Uranus since June 2022 (within a 10° orb). A revolution in our spirituality, creativity, artistic pursuits and how we connect subtly. We are also connecting in new and innovative ways. We’ll feel the Saturn and Uranus evolution on an earthly, practical level. Should you choose to accept the mission, it liberates (Uranus) you on a soulful (Neptune) and reality-based (Saturn) level.

Now consider the natural revolution from Pisces to Aries: last sign to first sign — a rebirth is happening.

The Conjunction in Aries

As a reminder: Surrender what naturally falls to the wayside, including general Saturn things like boundaries, limitations, rules, the past, and old structures that aren’t for your highest good anymore.  In Aries, this can be patterns in selfish desires, aggression, unnecessary force and will, and ego-based pursuits. Generally, it’s a shedding of doing everything on your own and in your own way.

The Opposite Sign and House as Support

Libra is the queen of balance. In the Aries Libra axis, consider and communicate your needs and desires to others. Find value in relationships and sharing. You’ll find solid footing when you’re receptive and considerate. Let others you trust be mirrors of reality. *If you’ve worked on the Libra part of your chart during its previous SN period, you’ll see how well this part of your life works for you now. You’ll find the magic in the results of your work: letting go of old relationships, values and ideas, what was meant to stay and the free space left in between.

If Aries is at the cusp of your 2nd House,  Neptune will influence your values and self-worth, giving it a more meaningful expression.  However,  your 8th House of intimacy, empowerment and shared resources will balance its strong tides.  Your tethers can be found in deep, soulful relationships or in ancestral connections. This also affects your finances. In the 8th House, you can find creative ways to make money in business with other people.

Now, let’s look at Saturn in Aries as an isolated influence.

Saturn in Aries (May 24, 2025 —April 12, 2028)

Regulations, limitations and censorship seem like the obvious scenarios when Saturn transits Aries, curbing the warrior signs’ desires, individual expression and inherent passionate force. But looking at the last time it was in Aries, there were also significant leaps and strides forward. The list below indicates seeds of new things that developed through the decades. Included on the list are the deaths of iconic and independent thinkers, the seeds they’ve since dispersed, and notable ideas and innovations that define the fabric of our lives to date. Basically, it sums up Saturn’s rules, limitations and karmic endings and beginnings in the sign of Aries.

1996—Hotmail, the first free email service provider, was released.

1996—Rap icon Tupac gets shot in Vegas

1996— Rupert Murdoch launches Fox News.

1997—Princess Diana dies in a car accident.

1997 —Ellen Degeneres publicly announces she gay in front of 40 million viewers

1997 — Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling is published. It goes on to sell over 120 million copies worldwide.

1997— Netflix is founded by Marc Randolph and Reece Hastings in California. It started out as an online DVD rental service.

1997 —Mother Teresa dies in India.

1997—google.com is registered as a domain name.

1997—Steve Jobs is named interim CEO of Apple Computer Inc.

1998—From this day onwards in California, all card rooms, clubs and bars must be smoke-free. 

1998—The film Titanic becomes the first film to gross 1 billion US dollars. 

1998—Rapper Eminem, then unknown, is signed by Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment company. 

1998—The very last episode of Seinfeld airs.

Are you as blown away by the list as I was?  However, such notable feat involves a focus on reality, one’s own limitations and a moral compass in action. The Saturn period indicates a strive towards what matters, creating a blueprint of execution and reaching success through resilience and efficiency–so that greatness unfolds to lead others. However, like every hero’s journey, there will come tests and obstacles, which we will see when Neptune and Saturn conjunct at 0° of Aries twice on July 2025 and perfect on Feb 2026.

What should you expect from Neptune conjuncting Saturn in Aries?

Neptune is the spiritual awakener. It goads you to see beyond what is in front of you, beyond reality. In Pisces, it is about feeling and experiencing it. In Aries, you act on it and be it. It urges you to develop your intuitive powers and see things in their possibilities through creativity, imagination and faith, transcending Saturn’s ego reality.

Neptune will act like a gatekeeper. Its influence on Saturn will be a process of purifying. A Neptune anointment for your evolutionary growth and the karmic accountability of action, will and desires. It’s both a reminder and a scrubbing away of what isn’t up to snuff so that the Aries’ robust energy is at its optimal in Neptune’s foggy territory.

When things fall apart, when confusion sets in, what are you left with? Your own faculties of will, courage, strength, and what coincides well with Aries in Neptune influence is intuition. Trusting your gut to achieve authority with strength that originates from humility will be part of the process.

The Conjunction between Neptune and Saturn in Aries will dissolve structures, rules, and ego-reality to find a balance within self that can bridge you to fine-tune your connection to the collective ideal. Once the Saturn part of you has crossed over to the other side of Neptune’s gate and peeled away from its enigmatic influence, Neptune’s blessings will be apparent.

Now for the Blessings

Keep in mind that Saturn represents a top-down structure, while Neptune represents acceptance and inclusivity. The conjunction purification will help you connect to others when Uranus moves into Gemini. It will also help you navigate Pluto’s 20-year-long stay in Aquarius.

What are the blessings on a collective level?

The conjunction’s influence will be a godsend process collectively. Where we are blind with ambition, where we have tunnel vision, where we act too aggressively and with selfish goals, we transcend them in time for the dominant air and fire energy (cold facts, logic, rational, detached). We will be connected in masculine expression with Saturn and Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius for the next few years. Because Neptune connects us through compassion, emotion and on a spiritual level through acceptance and inclusivity, faith and intuition—primarily feminine expressions- the conjunction is looking pretty ideal right now.

What about on a personal level?

Uranus in Gemini 

You can’t avoid its influence. Gemini (Mercury) rules everything around us in commerce, communication, transportation, travel, daily life, friends, neighbourhoods, and routines.  When Uranus moves into Gemini, there will be changes we’ve never experienced before. Uranus will take us to new heights of unthinkable innovation. We can now create and “grow” our own AI twin!!??!! (Read my Uranus in Gemini article to get a deeper understanding on how it will change us socially)

How does the conjunction help?

You find meaning and purpose and connect to something greater when you work with Neptune. In Aries, the me, me, me, one track mind part of your chart goes through a process of rebirthing into a new and genuine expression tuned into the collective ideal. Whether you’re the genius planting new seeds of innovation or the recipient, you will be braced for impact in the lighting highway speed of social and technological changes. Uranus in Gemini will be noisy, distracting, overwhelming all around. But you’ve cut through the noise with Saturn’s tests and Neptune’s purification.

Pluto in Aquarius

Pluto in Aquarius will even the playing field. The top-down structure is in a reformation process, benefiting the community, the people (Aquarius), highlighting fairness and equality. Think blockchain and crypto. Power will be distributed laterally. Think free speech. Pluto in Aquarius does not favour individual expression (opposite Leo) but rather who you are connected to and its support.

We’re seeing this with celebrities and their loss of influence. Did you pay attention to the American election? Robert Downey Jr. recently admitted it isn’t fun to be a celebrity anymore. He was referring to the close scrutiny of social media and lost of personal privacy (desire transformation (Pluto ) on a wide scale (Aquarius). I don’t need to tell you the lost of trust in big institutions and leaders.  With the crumbling of old structures, past governing and social constructs (Saturn), our rebirthing in Aries under Neptune’s urgings to surrender ego-based desires for enlightened self-interest and re-orient individual passions and ambitions towards the collective ideal seems like an excellent primer for the changing social landscape.

Aries Cusp In Each House and Applying the Benefits Personally.

1st House —You’re the individualist, the pioneer and like doing things your way, often selfishly and impetuously. Neptune and Saturn will change and elevate this part of you. What do you need to surrender, embrace, and accept to appease the conjunction’s influence and to interact optimally in our changing transactional world?

2nd House — The finance and self-worth house and the confidence that makes or takes it away. When Neptune and Saturn come through, the changes will require you to surrender and connect to new parts of yourself to level up and maximize your experience in the socially changing landscape.

3rd House —Communication, your ideas and how you interact locally. Don’t be surprised if Neptune teaches you how to speak, think or move. As a result, elevate your connection to the collective changes.

4th House — Your home, origins, comfort levels, body. Neptune and Saturn connect you to this part of your chart in new ways. Right from your foundation, you can feel spiritually and creatively renewed. You might consider working from home to keep up with the changing landscape.

5th House —Creativity, how you have fun and romance can feel more dreamy and fantastical with Neptune’s influence. The conjunction can also prepare you to find business alliances to partner in creative and entrepreneurial pursuits in the radically changing transactional landscape.

6th House—Work, routine, and health habits. New ways of connecting at work with colleagues can impact the money you make and help you ride the changes in your finances. Levelling up your daily life can benefit your shifting home scene.

7th House—With an Aries cusp, the conjunction will reform your relationships to your benefit through adaptability, creativity and emotional intelligence. Your needs and desires will take on a whole new meaning in creative ways, beneficial to the shifting social pace.

8th House—The conjunction’s influence will affect your sex life, the deeper parts of you, and your shared finances. The good news is that the confusion or displacement will move you to new career levels. The answer may be found in fresh ways you connect to your deeper self, a more spiritual connection with someone intimate, or letting go of financial obligations.

9th House—Higher education, your beliefs, travel, and publishing. When this area of your life is affected by the conjunction’s magic, the wild ride for the next few years or so can help make your dreams come true or create beneficial partnerships that change you on a soul level.

10th House —Career, goals and status. The benefits jump-start a new career. A geographical relocation is possible. It could also be a creative evolution when you’ve been anointed by the conjunction.  The blessing includes healing and clearing out ancestral karmic baggage.

11th House —Friends, community and dreams and aspiration. The conjunction’s magic helps you relate better to this area of life, which is beneficial as Uranus is the natural ruler of this House. You can get an elevated understanding on how to  connect and work with others long-term to help make your dreams a reality. Think innovation!

12th House—This is a subtle influence and can be experienced in the dream realm or if you travel abroad for work. The conjunction can help you bring new growth in finances, level up your confidence and self-worth.
