Cosmic Cycles 2025
The current changes are potent with the outer planets changing sign, fueling major energy shifts to action, movement and disruption. Much of this started with the Aries eclipses in the last few years; particularly noted in the US Chart due to its own Pluto return in Capricorn. Wild change is the operative signature; gone is the status quo. These outer signs changing sign sequentially one after the other at about the same time while also changing elements from water and earth to air and fire is indicative of the flavor of these shifts where many areas are coming to an end point (end of sign) and great new beginnings on the horizon (beginning of new signs).
This turning point is evident in the changing of the guard (endings and beginnings, changing political leaders and parties (loss of Pope Francis and new Pope Leo, radical political shifts in leadership). We are leaving behind the outer planets which have been in water and earth for the last many years. Pluto Capricorn, Neptune Pisces, Uranus Taurus, Saturn Pisces left a trail of years with protective measures taken during Covid, security orientated, static, remote, feeling lost, sleepy, stuck, home based PJ’s Zoom calls (Neptune Pisces –sleep).
Aires as the first sign of the zodiac is indicating new beginnings, starting points, starting over and leading the show with bold forward take action. Aries gets things moving fast as the youngest sign, naive, action oriented and forward bound. Saturn and Neptune in Aries are not a natural position as Aries green light, straight forward go is halted by Saturn red light stop or slow down and Neptune sideways curvy which will add to structural collapse, dismantling (Saturn ) uncertainty, discomfort, disorder, growing pains and chaos (Neptune).
With Aries leading the air fire show, we are seeing much dismantling, movement and unsettling stirring the pot. With new air and fire energy, we have opportunity for more freedom, change, radical turns (Pluto Aquarius), bold action (Saturn Neptune Aries) and rash shakedown (Uranus Gemini). For some, those with early air/fire in their chart, this shift may feel refreshing though for others, particularly early cardinal signs, it may be difficult with the Saturn Neptune Aries energy adding a heavy weight. Other Aries challenges with muscles, headaches, inflammation, arthritis flares, short tempers, mobility issues and low energy (Saturn Aries), active dreams (Aries Neptune).
We have seen this shakedown and action take place as Pluto made its ingress into Aquarius in the last few years. April 2025 Neptune moved into Aries and Saturn into Aries May 2025. Saturn join Neptune in Aries as the correction point and turning of the tide through this year and into early 2026 showing up as a heavy harsh hand running amok, politically over correcting any perception of indulgence or waste, parading a chain saw of cutting to aid, funding, defense, budgets, adding more protectionist tariffs moving toward self interest from metoo to mefirst.
Eclipses in Pisces/Virgo 2025/2026 add to the mix. Virgo on the south node shows a fallout point with Virgo energy and Virgo is connected to efficiency and order which we see in overkill. The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo in March 2025 along with many retrogrades (Mars in Cancer, Venus Pisces and Mercury Pisces) seeing clear as mud the chaos with tariffs and the back and forth start restart stop don’t stop pause don’t pause unsettling shake up in the markets all shit hitting the fan flinging a global wide span. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces in September 2025 may see more crisis though may move in a more positive direction, perhaps an indicator of settling into the outer planets new energies after all the chaos of reshuffling and resorting.
Saturn and Neptune will dip into Pisces one last time later this year before finally leaving Pisces with the many years of sitting back, daydreaming, wishing, mercy, sacrifice, humility, collective idealization and compassion. Saturn and Neptune will both sit at an anaretic degree in Pisces (last degree) leaving a confusing wake between uncomfortably numb and somewhat complacent to continual wakup shakeup dips and trips into Aries to put action to those dreams and make plans for those schemes.
Aries survival, action, is stirring up a restless angst to expose a new course that can’t hide behind closed doors. June 25 New Moon in Cancer join Jupiter Cancer in a square to Saturn Neptune Aries forms into a difficult energy pattern as it creates a few tense YODs (uncomfortable). This time will be determining the flavor of the next few years as the bold moves of Saturn Neptune Aries are challenged by the secure protectiveness of Jupiter Cancer and the ensuring legal battles (Jupiter resides over the law).
The last time Saturn joined Neptune was between 1988-1990. Those years saw much upheaval with China protests and the Tiananmen Square massacre, structural collapse, stock markets hitting a fall, major earthquake in San Fran, the Berlin wall coming down. The energy at that time was a trio of Uranus Neptune Saturn in Capricorn in harmony with Pluto in Scorpio. Pluto Scorpio is in its home and Saturn Capricorn also in its home indicating many events marked as pinnacle turning points. When Saturn Uranus Neptune transited in Capricorn exact over my ASC, I made a major move to another country (Canada to the US) during the birth of NAFTA as we now see NAFTA dismantling and falling apart.
