On March 30, 2025, numinous Neptune left its home sign of dreamy Pisces for the first time since April 2011, for a 6-month preview tour of action-star Aries. On January 26, 2026, Neptune leaves Pisces for good (at least, in our lifetimes) and settles into Aries until 2039! Here’s your Neptune in Aries horoscope.

Instant karma, let’s go! After a short preview in 2025 (March 30 to October 22), spiritual Neptune bursts out of watery Pisces and starts a flash-fire in Aries on January 26, 2026. Neptune stirs the pot in Aries for over a decade, staying in this impulsive, trailblazing sign for 13 full years, until March 2039!
As a slow-moving outer planet, Neptune takes more than a decade to move through every zodiac sign, shaping generational trends. After 15 years in watery Pisces, which Neptune journeyed through since April 2011, this switch to Aries signals a dramatic turn.
The last Neptune-in-Aries cycle spanned from 1861 to 1875, a period marked by rapid industrial growth and deep societal upheaval—from abolition to women’s suffrage to the U.S. Civil War. This fresh round could again be laced with urgency. While Neptune blurs lines and leans toward passivity, Aries thrives on action and confrontation. Mixed together, these two disparate forces demand a new kind of courage, one that blends empathy with brave initiative.
We’ll need resilience for this cycle—and that includes the emotional kind. Much change is ahead with novelty-seeking Aries pioneering the imaginative planet’s next mission. New healing frontiers in wellness, social movements born from raw instinct, technology that can be used to uplift the disenfranchised or manipulate the masses. This is uncharted terrain. As Neptune traverses Aries until 2039, get ready for a long crash course in spiritual firepower.
2026 HOROSCOPE
Neptune shapes generations, its shift to Aries may feel jarring
We are NOT the same once each generation-shaping Neptune transit ends. Since 2011, the esoteric planet took us on a mindfulness pilgrimage through Pisces, and a deep dive through the human psyche. Along with Gen Alpha—the first generation of true digital natives, Neptune n Pisces took us on a ride through the woo. We have the yoga studios, trauma-informed programs, plant medicine ceremonies and worldwide embrace of spiritual modalities (astrology, tarot, manifestation spells) to show for the Neptune in Pisces transit.
When Neptune surfed into Aries on March 30, 2025 for a preview tour (until September 1, 2025), we already got a taste of its jarring impact. Neptune is compassionate, dreamy, fluid and soft. Aries is aggressive, daring, entitled and strong. With wars happening both on former global allies and citizens alike, we are feeling this unmooring paradox big time.
What happened the last time Neptune was in Aries?
We need to look all the WAY back to 1861 to 1875, the last time Neptune traveled through Aries, for clues of what’s to come between 2026-2039. Historically, Neptune in Aries has coincided with periods of radical spiritual and ideological change:
- We saw this in the 1860s when causes like abolitionism drove the American Civil War.
- The U.S. Civil War literally began two days after Neptune first entered Aries, with the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861
- Visionary advances have also exploded, like the first printing press and camera obscura in 1544.
- The opening of the New York Stock Exchange, in 1865, and the first “tube,” London’s Tower Subway, in 1872.
What can we expect with Neptune in Aries this time?
Autocrat alert! There may be a rise in cult-like leaders during the Neptune in Aries transit. Martyr movements motivated by lofty ideals could draw zealots who are willing to fight to the death.
Realm shift! On a personal level, the Neptune in Aries transit cycle provides the courage to build your dream. Watch out for a veiled thirst for power as you ascend along your path.
Toughening up. Neptune is the planet of compassion while Aries is on a nonstop combat mission. We may all have to toughen up and develop some grit to make it through this tenuous transition.
Neptune in Aries Horoscopes
Once fantasy agent Neptune leaves its home sign of Pisces on January 26, 2026, it will never to return in our lifetimes. (Well, unless we figure out how to live for more than 160 years!)
Since 2011, Neptune in Pisces melted our boundaries between the visible and invisible universe. What on earth could be next? Buckle up as the boundary-dissolving planet takes a wild, hoverboard ride through pioneering Aries until 2039!
Here is your Neptune in Aries horoscope (partially excerpted from The AstroTwins 2025 Horoscope). You may read for your Sun sign or your rising sign.
ARIES: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Who do you think you are? That question could spawn a temporary identity crisis, when esoteric Neptune spins into your sign (first house) on January 26. Suspend judgment and lift all limitations you’ve placed upon yourself. You are capable of so much more than you’ve given yourself credit for, and Neptune loves to mine for your hidden gifts deep in your subconscious. Your artistic side could blossom under Neptune’s watch, or you could unearth a passion for empowering people who weren’t blessed with as much good fortune as you.
Neptune’s mission is to help us transform pain into power, and during this transit, you may feel an intense pull to share your healing gifts with the world. But before—or even as—you do that, it’s essential to focus on your inner work. If you’re an Aries who grapples with anger, unhealthy competition (like comparing yourself to others on social media), or swinging between over-giving and defensive selfishness, this is your time to get to the root of your pain. Goal number one? Learning to express your upset feelings before they turn into rage or resentment.
The Neptune in Aries transit will shape your future. This dreamy spell lasts until March 23, 2039. You may feel lost in the woods sometimes—or maybe it’s an enchanted forest? Existential questions are bound to arise, some that you won’t find fast or easy answers to. Find yourself a cathartic outlet and start some sort of meditation practice. Neptune in Aries will set your subconscious mind on fire, making you a powerful pipeline to the muse and the divine.

TAURUS: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Reality, what’s that? Life could become as provocative as a Banksy installation while hazy Neptune rests in Aries and your mystical twelfth house on January 26. This dreamlike aura is set to become your “new normal” for the next decade-plus.
The prospect of softening, surrendering or releasing control may feel slightly destabilizing, especially for your earthy, grounded nature. Consider the wisdom in The Pixies’ classic track, “Where Is My Mind?” With “your head in the air and your feet on the ground,” you can pull divine inspiration from the ether and weave it into your life here on Earth. It will take time before you can put your visionary downloads into words, much less a plan. Don’t rush or force that process, Taurus, even if you, like most Bulls, love a good framework.
One thing you can be certain of: the Neptune in Aries cycle promises to be a fertile time for deep, soulful self-discovery. Where before you may have brushed off emotional exploration as “indulgent” or “unproductive,” you could soon become obsessed with the workings of your own subconscious, like Taurus Sigmund Freud. If you don’t already have a great therapist, spiritual counselor or artistic teacher, begin your search in earnest now.

GEMINI: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Your renegade era is officially underway! Imaginative Neptune floats into Aries and your innovative, game-changing eleventh house on January 26. With the compassionate planet awakening your activism, there will be no shortage of important causes to get involved with. But it’s okay to be a little “selfish” here, devoting your attention to one (or two) that will impact a community that you hold dear. The numinous planet floats back into the Ram’s realm until March 23, 2039.
After fourteen long years of hosting the planet of illusions in Pisces and your career zone, this will be a welcome relief. Hopefully certain ambitions came into sharper focus as 2025 ended. If you’re feeling burnt out from your current career path—or just ready to do something a little less draining—Neptune’s move into Aries could steer you toward a job that involves technology or working in a more team-oriented way.
Neptune’s drift into dynamic Aries begins a transformative journey through your eleventh house of friendships, networks, and social influence. While your natural curiosity drives you to explore new ideas and collaborations, this is a period for quality over quantity. You’ll be called to reassess the people and communities you surround yourself with. Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, could blur the lines between true allies and mere acquaintances, urging you to tune into your intuition like never before.

CANCER: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Get ready to infuse your professional life with a deeper sense of purpose. On January 26, compassionate, spiritual Neptune moves into Aries. Translation? Your career (tenth house) will be guided by the dreamy planet until March 23, 2039. No matter what industry you’re in, the Neptune in Aries transit will bring your creativity, empathy and healing gifts to the forefront of your life and, soon enough, your work.
As a cardinal sign, leadership comes naturally to you, Cancer, often propelling you into executive roles, sometimes even unexpectedly. While being at the helm has its perks, if your ascent to the top has compromised your well-being, Neptune’s journey through Aries invites a significant recalibration. Over the coming decade-plus, shift your focus from mere professional achievements to cultivating a life marked by inner peace and balance.
As the zodiac’s Most Maternal, you can slip into caretaker mode, and soon enough, you’re shouldering the work for the perfectly capable adults around you. Warning: Sacrificial Neptune’s tour through your tenth house could pull you down into the vortex of codependence, enabling and burnout if you don’t set healthy boundaries. Used correctly, the Neptune in Aries transit period will teach you the art of delegation and the importance of surrounding yourself with a team that supports rather than drains you.

LEO: Neptune in Aries horoscope
A visionary voyage begins in earnest! On January 26, enchanted Neptune sets sail in Aries and your worldly, philosophical and adventurous ninth house. As you may recall from last year’s preview of this transit, Neptune in Aries will awaken a deep yearning for experiences that expand your mind and spirit—whether that means hiking the Camino Santiago, enrolling in grad school or starting an entrepreneurial venture that helps people tap into their fullest human potential.
The numinous planet journeys through the Ram’s realm until March 23, 2039. Broader horizons will begin to call you! Over the next decade-plus, your dreams could lead you to far-flung corners of the globe to explore, study and possibly relocate to join an expat community abroad.
No matter your GPS coordinates, Neptune’s long tour through Aries will broaden your spiritual and intellectual horizons. Be mindful, however, of the hazy planet’s penchant for creating mirages. Much of what you encounter during this cycle will not be what it seems.
Approach new ideas, trends and the latest gurus with extra discernment and take it upon yourself to verify data that seems a little too good to be true. It’s fine to dabble and play, Leo, just know that not everything you explore is meant to stick around for the long haul. Enjoy the experiences, even if they’re just a one-time thing.

VIRGO: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Plunge so far into your feelings that you make Jacques Cousteau look like a basic snorkeler. The reason for this deep dive? Fantasy-agent Neptune is sailing into Aries and your eighth house of intensity, seduction and permanent bonds for a long voyage. On January 26, 2026, the numinous planet embarks on a thirteen-year mission through Aries, which won’t end until March 23, 2039.
The past fourteen years with Neptune in Pisces may have felt like a crucible, refining your understanding of relationships and your desired role within them. You navigated intense emotional waters and have likely emerged with essential insights about your attachment style, patterns and core needs. As spiritual Neptune logs in to Aries, it’s not just about teaming up with a complementary force. You want to blend lives, combine assets and lock into a permanent arrangement that you can devote your whole self to.
As much as you SAY you want a fairy tale, reality check, Virgo: Are you actually ready to get THAT up close and personal? With Neptune in self-sovereign Aries, you could butt up against your own intimacy barriers. Rather than pushing yourself to overcome these blocks—or running as fast as you can in the opposite direction—surrender and let Neptune shine a light on the deeper aspects of your psyche.
On a deeper level, this Neptune in Aries transit invites you to explore your relationship with money—are you using it to create the security you need, or is it slipping through your fingers in pursuit of an illusion? Investing can feel like navigating through a fog—exciting yet uncertain. Tune into your intuition, but guard against getting swept up in unrealistic dreams or schemes.

LIBRA: Neptune in Aries horoscope
A fearless pursuit of love! Libras will write a new chapter in relationships, which could mean embarking on the next step with your longtime love or pivoting in a wholly new direction, when Neptune settles into Aries on January 26. Numinous Neptune casts a spell in your seventh house of partnerships until 2039!
There’s plenty for a Libra to enjoy about this Neptune in Aries transit! The fearless pursuit of love that it engenders. The way it helps you declare your feelings with full throated confidence. After fourteen years of hosting the hazy planet in your sixth house of work and wellness (Pisces), this is a welcome sea change (you may have felt this from March to October, 2025, when Neptune had its first-in-your-lifetime preview tour of Aries. You’re one of the zodiac’s most hopeful romantics and any time a planet nudges you toward partnerships, you are in your element. So this one is exciting!
Consider this a gilded invitation to explore the deeper, more spiritual aspects of your one-on-one connections. That goes for romantic relationships, creative collaborations and even the bonds that you share with colleagues and dear friends. With dreamy Neptune in action-oriented Aries, you may find yourself reimagining what commitment, love, and partnership mean to you.
During the idealistic Neptune in Aries transit cycle you’ll crave soul-stirring connections that transcend the mundane. But Neptune’s foggy influence can also blur the lines between reality and fantasy. While you might be tempted to idealize the concept of a relationship, keep expectations grounded in reality. Even your “perfect spouse” needs days off from tossing rose petals at your pedicured feet. (Sorry.) Compassionate, charitable Neptune in Aries may inspire you to be more giving in relationships.

SCORPIO: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Get ready to add more “flow” into your “workflow.” Fluid Neptune in Aries activates your sixth house of health, wellness. When Neptune’s ethereal energy meets the fiery drive of this sign, in the part of your chart that governs your day-to-day life, so much can change! You’re entering a period where you’re called to reimagine your approach to self-care, work, and how you structure your daily grind. This is a significant shift for you, Scorpio, one that you got a brief taste of in 2025. On January 26, 2026, Neptune plants itself in Aries for an unbroken lap that drifts on until March 23, 2039!
As a lifelong seeker, you’ve never been one to just go through the motions. That said, you tend to channel your intense focus toward one or two key areas of life. While Neptune’s paddled through Pisces (since 2011), much of its imagination-boosting energy spilled into your romantic and artistic life. Now, the focus of Neptune in Aries moves to a different space: work and wellness.
Be mindful of Neptune’s tendency to cast a fog over reality. In the sixth house, this can manifest as disorganization or a lack of focus on the details. It’s crucial to stay vigilant about maintaining your routines, even as you explore more creative and spiritual approaches to your work and health. Implementing systems that help you stay on track, like to-do lists or regular check-ins, can be incredibly helpful during this time. These small, structured steps will keep you anchored as you begin to navigate Neptune’s dreamy waters.

SAGITTARIUS: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Dive into a sea of inspiration! Did your life deliver a few “Disney princess moments” last year? There’s no need to write “The End.” On January 26, 2026, Neptune returns to the magic kingdom of your fifth house for an unbroken chapter until 2039.
The invitation of the Neptune in Aries transit, should you choose to accept it, is to infuse more imagination and wonder into your life. For your starry-eyed, optimistic sign, saying “yes” is a no brainer! But don’t go racing around the planet for your fix of joy. While you’re naturally inclined to widen your vistas through travel and socializing, Neptune in Aries wants you to source the depths of your subconscious to unlock creative inspiration. Release your typical need for broad strokes and big pictures. Then, delve into the finer details of your creative process. Subtleties and nuances are where it’s at!
Once you’ve honed your craft, get ready for your close up. Since Aries rules your fifth house of fame, the next fourteen years will serve amazing opportunities for you to share your work, scoop up awards and grow an audience. Publicity and marketing? That’s where you CAN cast the widest net and find fans on every continent.
All this DOES come with a yellow flag. Neptune is the planet of illusion, which can cause you to misread signals, especially when it comes to fame, romance and creative expression. With Neptune’s slippery grasp on reality, you run the risk of getting swept away in your enthusiasm. That goes triple with the oft-delulu planet puffing up in the entitled sign of Aries. To avoid falling prey to a scam, balance your gift for making things “bigger, stronger, faster” with regular reality checks.

CAPRICORN: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Home sweet sanctuary? Neptune drifts into Aries for a long haul beginning January 26, casting a spell in your fourth house of family, domesticity and emotional roots. Your concept of personal space and security is going to transform over the next fourteen years. Don’t resist the call to explore the more subtle, spiritual aspects of your personal life, starting now, even if all you hear is a whisper.
As someone who values structure and stability, fluid Neptune in this foundational part of your chart can feel destabilizing. It’s a definite departure from your pragmatic approach to life! Over the next decade-plus, you will get a master class in relying on intuition as much as logic when it comes to making personal decisions. We’re not saying you should ignore statistics or the numbers on your precious spreadsheets. The thing is, they may not align with your deeper instincts—the ones that are calling you to do something “impractical,” like selling off an asset, buying a fixer-upper or making a cross-country (or out-of-country!) move.
Spiritual Neptune in self-sovereign Aries turns up the volume on your core desires and could shift your compass in an unexpected direction. Heck, you might just be entering your “Eat, Pray, Love” era. Pay attention to what (and who!) makes you feel like your truest, most sacred self. This is where you want to be, Capricorn, and also who you should keep around.

AQUARIUS: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Imagination and empathy reign supreme! As Neptune drifts into Aries on January 26, it casts its ethereal influence over your third house of communication, cooperation and local connections. While you thrive on intellectual stimulation, this transit offers you a unique opportunity to explore fluid dimensions of thought and expression. Logic? Highly overrated during the next decade and a half. (Though not to be dismissed altogether!). Tap into your intuition and let it guide you on a soulful quest. Do your best to adjust to this new and numinous vibe. It’s going to be your new normal by and large until March 23, 2039!
Get ready for some shifts in your social style during the Neptune in Aries transit. You have 1,001 friends, most of whom you keep at a “close distance” (Read: Near enough to form a bond, far enough to preserve your extreme autonomy). Neptune’s boundary-dissolving influence could change your approach. You could find yourself yearning for deeper emotional connections. In conversations, you’ll be attuned to subtle nuances, picking up on what’s unsaid as much as what’s spoken.
Since this house rules media, this a great time to explore creative writing, poetry or any form of expression that allows you to convey deeper feelings and abstract ideas. As an Aquarius, you’re known for your sharp, analytical mind that also tends to see the world through a scientific lens. You might find yourself intrigued by esoteric topics now, such as astrology (hello!), shamanic breathwork and dream interpretation. Let your curiosity guide you into new territories that challenge conventional ways of thinking. Caveat: Neptune has a slippery grasp on reality. Make sure to balance your mystical explorations with critical thinking to avoid getting lost in illusions or wishful thinking.

PISCES: Neptune in Aries horoscope
Your money relationship makeover. Call it an identity crisis or just a profoundly new vision for how you want to live your life. Either way, Pisces, things could begin to look very different for you beginning January 26. Your ruling planet Neptune is heading into a new sign after a long voyage in yours!
Neptune settles in Aries, your second house of money, values and security until March 23, 2039. As Neptune finally leaves your first house, a sense of clarity begins to emerge, allowing you to focus on grounding your dreams into reality. Visionary Pisces are never at a loss for ingenious ideas. It’s turning them into tangible assets that can be a struggle. As your ruling planet heads into assertive Aries and your tenacious second house, you’ll be ready to put a stake in the ground and start building something that you can touch, taste and feel.
Material and financial stability are not things you like to stress about, but you know that without them, you feel unmoored. As Neptune casts its mystical glow over your second house, your relationship with money and possessions undergoes a profound transformation.
Be mindful of Neptune’s tendency to idealize, but also create illusions. Be sure your financial decisions are grounded in reality. Remember, this is a long cycle. There’s no need to rush. Simply allowing yourself to explore new ways of earning and managing money can be a game-changer.
