January 26, 2026 — A LOT is happening in the world right now. A group of planets has been crowding together in rebellious Aquarius, including the ever-transformative Pluto. Collective crisis, fear, shadow work, and revolutionary energies have been extremely high. On Monday, Neptune re-enters Aries, and Saturn will soon follow. We’re truly hitting the ignition button on the next era. These two planets returning to Aries supports the revolution, guiding us from dissociation into embodiment and spiritual warriorship. We’re ready to face the truth and snap out of fog and escapism.

As Neptune returns to Aries, it’s finally committing to its long passage. A new story is gaining traction once and for all. Last year we had a preview from March to October, when Neptune first dipped into Aries before retrograding back. That glimpse was enough to feel the shift, but we soon reverted to old trajectories and frustrations. Now, Neptune is settling into Aries for the next fourteen years, and there's no going back to Pisces' confusion.

We are closing a 165-year cycle as Neptune returns to the beginning of the zodiac wheel. Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries, representing interconnection, limitlessness, deception, and fantasy. It’s the final sign of the zodiac, where we merge, transcend, and sometimes drown in collective delusion. Aries is the first breath after a long submersion. We feel the shock of separation as Aries reveals: I am here and distinct. I have a body, will, and singular path.

Neptune in Aries reawakens the impulse to act. We can now create, initiate, and realize our true longings rather than only envision them. There is a sense of great courage, which inseparable from our vulnerability. This is the moment to embrace what we came here to do as souls, with both urgency and surrender.

This shift does not arrive with fanfare. Neptune unfolds quietly, like the tide turning. Yet courage and spiritual warriorship are defining themes. We are leading our own liberation rather than waiting for a savior. Gently but firmly, we are orienting toward a future already forming beneath our feet. Much will continue to reveal itself, and the pace will quicken. The invitation is to stay honest and awake—choosing truth and bravery no matter what.

NEPTUNE IN ARIES ASPIRATION

As Neptune returns to Aries, may we emerge from confusion and claim our deepest longings with abandon. May we fully embody our path of becoming, embracing what we came here to do with great heart and quiet heroism.
