Neptune in Aries
We will start this article with the Homeric Hymn to Poseidon:
Ἀμφὶ Ποσειδάωνα μέγαν θεὸν ἄρχομ' ἀείδειν γαίης κινητῆρα καὶ ἀτρυγέτοιο θαλάσσης πόντιον, ὅσθ’ Ἑλικῶνα καὶ εὐρείας ἔχει Αἰγάς. διχθά τοι Ἐννοσίγαιε θεοὶ τιμὴν ἐδάσαντο ἵππων τε δμητῆρ’ ἔμεναι σωτῆρά τε νηῶν. Χαῖρε Ποσείδαον γαιήοχε κυανοχαῖτα, καὶ μάκαρ εὐμενὲς ἦτορ ἔχων πλώουσιν ἄρηγε.
For Poseidon, the great god, I begin to sing, the agitator of the earth and the tireless sea, the god of the sea, who rules over Helicon and the vast Aegae. To you, Earth-shaker, the gods have granted double honor, to be the tamer of horses and the savior of ships. Hail, Poseidon, world-shaker, with black hair, and happy, with a kind heart, help those who sail.
The upcoming transit of Neptune into Aries is one of the most significant astrological events that will shape our era. On March 30, 2025, Neptune will enter the sign of Aries for the first time in 164 years and will remain in Aries until 2038, after which it will move into the sign of Taurus. The last time Neptune was in Aries was in April 1861. This position of Neptune brings with it the energy of innovation, spirituality, initiative, but also potential illusions. In this article, we will analyze the impact of this transit on both a personal and collective level, as well as how each zodiac sign can harness this cosmic energy.
What does Neptune and Aries represent in astrology?
Neptune is the planet of imagination, dreams, spirituality, and illusions. In astrology, it represents the world of ideas, ideals, and the unconscious. It calls us to explore the depths of our inner world and connect with the collective unconscious. However, Neptune’s energy can also lead to illusions, idealizations, deceptions, and disappointments when we are not grounded in reality.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and represents beginnings, action, initiative, and individuality. As a fire sign, Aries carries a dynamic and pioneering energy, full of passion, courage, and a desire for conquest. It is the sign that takes risks and is not afraid to start something new. However, Aries' impulsive nature can lead to hasty decisions and reckless actions with disastrous consequences.
Historical Overview: The Last Time Neptune Was in Aries
The last time Neptune was in Aries, in 1861, coincided with major social and political changes. The world experienced a period of significant transformations with both negative and positive events that shaped the course of many societies. On the negative side, this period was marked by the American Civil War (1861-1865), which caused great loss of life and destruction. Recently, we have seen particularly intense social division in the United States. The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 shocked the United States, leading to political instability and reconstruction. The abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865 marked a significant victory for human rights and freedom.
In Europe, the Paris Commune of 1871, a revolutionary movement, ended in bloody repression and intensified social tensions. The period was also characterized by geopolitical conflicts, such as the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), which led to the declaration of the German Empire and reshaped the map of Europe. The Italian and German Unifications in 1861 and 1871, respectively, established political stability and cooperation in Europe. In Japan, the beginning of the Meiji period in 1868 marked the modernization and transformation of society, promoting economic and industrial growth. In science and technology, significant discoveries, such as the creation of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1865-66 and the development of the periodic table of elements by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, contributed to the improvement of life quality and the advancement of knowledge and innovation on a global scale.
With Neptune entering Aries again in 2025, we can expect a new period of significant changes, as well as shifts in spiritual consciousness and our collective values.
