NEPTUNE IN ARIES 2025-2039 On 30 March Neptune will make its first timid entrance into the sign of Aries after being in Pisces since 2011. Neptune will begin its annual 5-month retrograde period on 4 July at 02°10’ Aries (antiscion 27°50’ Virgo) and will remain in Aries until 22 October when it re-enters Pisces once more and lingers at 29° Pisces from late October to late January 2026!

We might also hear about war plans or tactics being suspended or modified by the powers that be. Gemini and Virgo, both [...]
FULL MOON AND LUNAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO “We often confuse what we wish for with what is.” Neil Gaiman There will be a total Lunar Eclipse at 23°57’ Virgo (antiscion 06°03’ Aries) on the 13-14 March (depending in which part of the world you live in).
