The new moon on Saturday, March 29, 2025, is an eclipse at 9 degrees 00’ Aries (partial). Ironically the Sabian Symbol for 9 Aries is “A crystal gazer”, and with this new moon the raw power of an Aries sun is shadowed with an eclipse. The Northeast of North America (Canada and the United States), as well as Greenland will have a more intense shadow. This specific Sabian symbol, a metaphor for looking inward, has a powerful month of that inner gaze being obstructed by an Aries moon. If not to turn inward, then we are in a cycle where the soul of this Aries moon is demanding to be heard in some capacity in our lives. An Aries moon demands attention to be self-expressed and charging ahead in life with instincts and raw energy. Our allies can be blindsided, we as people of a nation can be surprised because of the eclipse energy of powerful leaders, but more aptly stated we may see scenarios manifest where we can be knocked down a few pegs for our disconnect from our instincts in our interactions. We will also see in this week and next significant leaders of state stepping down, or even the potential of the death of a significant leader.
Eclipse seasons always bring the big game changes forward, however this one is more powerful than many others in over a decade because within two days of this solar eclipse Neptune will leave Pisces and enter Aries. Neptune has been in Pisces for 14 years (Neptune first entered Pisces on April 4, 2011).
Looking back in April 2011 there are few significant events that give us insights on the collective transpersonal with Neptune’s ingress in Pisces, one was Fidel Castro resigned on April 19, 2011, as the Cuban party leader after 45 years in power. The royal wedding for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton was on April 29th at Westminster Abbey, London just a couple weeks after Neptune’s Pisces ingress. In the United States that month in 2011 it was one of the deadliest on record from hundreds of tornados, over 300 people died. In pop culture, the movie Thor premiered in Australia on April 17th, Game of Thrones premiered on HBO on April 17th, and The Voice premiered on April 26th, for US TV with Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and CeeLo Green as the judges. Perhaps more significant in its impact was our global experience of the pandemic with Covid-19 that spread around the world (Pisces) swiftly in early 2020 when Neptune was in the middle of the cycle of its transit of Pisces. Transpersonal planets impact us all around this little blue planet. Neptune archetypally is symbolic of our connection to something beyond this realm as well, it holds meaning around our evolutionary leaps including our back steps in our collective consciousness.
Neptune in Aries is a very different archetypal energy than Neptune in Pisces. Neptune in Aries is like a spiritual warrior, whereas Neptune in Pisces is more aligned with the vision of being the mystic. Neptune in Aries is about understanding fear, conflict, and when we call on courage within our consciousness (collectively), but also the dynamics of how that collective wave of energy is motivated to act relative to conflict, and even die for something that one believes in.
All this change we are experiencing has an added trigger of Mercury stationing to go direct on March 31st at 29 degrees Pisces. So much is being activated within us with the last degrees of Pisces and over the Aries point. We will see more leaks and miscommunication, the need to clarify communications and intentions, re-routes and folks in a daze from the fog of what is happening within this cycle. Is it not interesting and cosmic that war plans (Aries) were leaked recently in this eclipse season? The best plan of action for individuals is to meditate for clarity, prayer as inspired to ask for meaningful symbols from what is always within you. Allow your connection to higher self, your guides, ancestors, and angels, and God be your guides in moments of uncertainty. Everyone experiences the transpersonal planets unique to their own nativity, both how the transiting planet aspects their individual angles and planets, but also offering a collective experience where transformation is centered and part of a larger theme for humanity.
Neptune starting a new cycle in Aries is the beginning of something unique for us all and consciousness that we may see leaps in the coming years about how we collectively increase our awareness of how we live and work together. We are on the precipice of a new era managing or navigating our fears and addressing it. Interestingly we have heard of leaks of highly confidential information being leaked (Pisces, Neptune/Saturn) as well as recent memo leaks within Google and Meta. I follow several writers on Medium and one of them addresses this about fear being a central force of leadership within tech companies for power and control, especially around artificial intelligence. The language of leaders will likely lead to slippery down slides for many. There will be a backlash that can be costly. Managing by fear as people will weigh the experience to what the return is within their lives. The cost may be too great for what is received in a salary and benefits.
Neptune in Aries has the potential to inspire waves of pioneering free-thinkers into the fool’s journey with innovative new beginnings. When Uranus enters Gemini in July there will be a trine (easy flow) by aspect with transformational Pluto in Aquarius. If you endeavor to learn something new, it is a good summer to do just that. AI will enable many to make new choices as they learn how to work with the technology for their goals. The next 14 years may open a chapter for your own fearless journey toward a dream you are ready to materialize.
Mars in Cancer still navigates the degrees it moved through last year in October and November. We will continue to see the tension build between Mars and the opposition with Pluto in Aquarius. We are likely to see a lot more tension increase to a stand-off with many in power. The power moves will invoke some transformations, we have glimpses of them now, but we will have greater insights as Mercury finishes its retrograde cycle and returns to Aries. Mars is trine Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and the north node in Pisces. Our action is framed by a protective nature, however moving obliquely to protect. Mars has a few more weeks before it re-enters Leo and opposes Pluto, April 17-18th. The exact opposition is Mars will then be in a trine aspect with Neptune in Aries and will act like a match being lit up on the ego that will likely be a more instinctive reaction to what has been observed for a few weeks.
Mercury returns to Pisces on March 29th. Mercury will activate Neptune (with Venus, North Node, and Saturn) in Pisces which can be another major leak, and another activation on our collective consciousness just prior to Neptune’s entry into Aries. Mercury retrograde conjoins Neptune at 29 degrees 59’ of Pisces around 7:46:20 pm PDT. Saturday night will be an interesting moment to observe or we will learn as Mercury stations on March 30th about something else that activates us and our consciousness, it will not just be for us in the United States, this is a global phenomenon, though by our nation’s astrological foundations will activate us collectively within context to the whole, how we are all connected, or at least a new moment of awareness being activated. We have multiple signs that we are all on the path of the quickening of our consciousness. We only have to look at recent insights about the structure under the Khafre’s Pyramid to know we are quickly becoming aware of something about who we are. Of course, this is still under deep scrutiny to understand what it is truly; it does inspire new questions about how it was built. I think the new findings of the Great Pyramid are far more keen on the symbolism of our rising consciousness. I also think we are moving closer and closer to knowing our own divinity. I wonder sometimes what events will be the precursor to a great pivoting moment for us collectively?
Venus in Pisces in its retrograde is amplifying the spiritual within us and our agape sensibilities. Fantasy and the desire to escape into stories will intensify. The arts may be a suitable place to sit with beauty to be enveloped in something ethereal and transcending. Life and the current noise will create the desire to escape to find something beautiful and uplifting. The reason to love and support the arts is because it is the salve for our souls. Our bodies are often under great stress which may require detachment during our work or what we sense as empaths in a chaotic moment in time, our spiritual practices and the arts are key to return to center. Venus stations direct on April 24th at 24 degrees Pisces 38’ while conjoined with Saturn in Pisces. It can be a peaking moment with feelings and sincere exchanges of commitment. Be sure to get your beauty sleep!
Jupiter in Gemini at 15 degrees and is in an applying square to Saturn. This aspect creates a growing challenge with what may be access to information, especially public domain information behind secure firewalls. We have had the recent news of the leak of highly confidential information in our US government this past week, watch as this incident will have increasing fallout. There may be other potential leaks and security breaches with this combination of energy. Mars in Cancer moving to oppose Pluto is another layer of this threat and the threat with leadership and its missteps with confidential information. Things we can be aware of, somewhat plan for is having backups of our files, double checking our itineraries, moving important events or meetings to a better week for better absorption of information for critical work. While Jupiter continues its transit in Gemini we are see we cannot make forward progress if we stumble on the path of sound decisions and actions. Life requires due diligence on facts (Gemini), but also a sound philosophy (Sagittarius) for overall well-being. My heart extends to the teachers in our public schools, there are many more obstacles to navigate within the current system and shifting budgets.
Saturn finishing Pisces over the next two months with the North Node in Pisces we have multiple chapters coming to a conclusion by May 24th when Saturn makes its ingress into Aries. Consider what you have learned, built through long hours of trial and error perhaps having moments of great uncertainty or even had the burden to navigate since March of 2023 when Saturn entered Pisces. Saturn is the planet of mastery and duty. It may be your desire for new responsibilities and new job or work may manifest within this changing of signs as well. Highly recommend to actually start the endeavor before Saturn makes the ingress. Time and your perseverance with hard work may create real foundations of a life you have envisioned for years.
Uranus in Taurus at 24 degrees is sextile Saturn in Pisces. This aspect can stimulate unexpected swings in markets and supply chains. We will continue to see some businesses go out of business as market swings related to collective consumer behaviors. A reminder that the idea of capitalism as it has been is within its own Pluto return of transformation. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their power to create change in their spending habits and where they consume goods and services. It is more important than ever in history to consider how goods and services are created and delivered and the values of the organization that creates the business. Private equity and business practices that have sabotaged otherwise quality businesses and franchises will continue to get scrutinized by the public. The collective power is emerging and growing in awareness, right in alignment of the planetary shift of Pluto in Aquarius.
Over the next year we all may have an increasing consideration of what is worth fighting for, but perhaps even greater is when to fight (Aries) and when to let go (Pisces). We all will have Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, then Aries, back to Pisces and a final move into Aries in 2026. We will collectively be evaluating themes for our moral compass. What guides us now on this new frontier? If we simply stay focused with what is in the coming weeks with this solar eclipse, take time in your journal this month to explore what is viable for you now? What is fading out of your life? Being creative without purpose on what you create is the space to allow new inspiration and what wants to emerge through you. We have to allow time to be bored and silence our distractions for what will emerge organically. Be mindful, take time to write, draw, paint, sculpt, make music, and simply be. Endings are part of life, and they are always followed and overlapped with a new beginning. Namaste. Bless this moment.
