Whistling a New ‘Tune (NEP-tune)
Your New Lustorascope Is Here!
Time to put the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong, it’s Aries season, lovelies! And this is an Aries season unlike any we’ve seen in a long time. Neptune—that slow-moving planet with dreamy, mystical, and artistic powers—is entering a new sign, Aries, for the first time in 13 years! We love Pisces, but 13 years just seems like a lot of fish, y’know? At least Neptune is named for the god of the sea, but even still it seems a bit much. Now Neptune is going to be taking up residence in Aries for, oh… about 14 years!
Back in Pisces season (were we ever so young?), we talked a lot about the unique effects that the March 13 lunar eclipse would have on your life, but we’re not out of the dark yet—there’s another eclipse on the horizon (and we mean that in like, the most literal possible way) coming your way on March 29, a sunrise solar eclipse, to be exact. This is to be expected, since eclipses always come in pairs, a couple weeks apart! This one is solar, so you can expect the usual changes that an eclipse represents to be more than a bit supercharged.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your Time to Shine
Hey, happy birthday, Aries! And what a birthday this one’s going to be—with the aforementioned solar eclipse and arrival of Neptune into your sign, this will be among the most transformative times you’ve ever experienced. This is the perfect moment to breathe some life into your creative dreams, whether that’s a side hustle or a means of deep expression. You’ll also be in harmony with your spiritual side as all the clutter falls away and whatever role you’re supposed to play in the universe suddenly becomes clear as crystal. All in all, it’s not a bad birthday gift, if you ask us. But if you’re looking for a more gift-y gift, we’ve got those too!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Look Inside, Taurus
We’re talking a lot about Neptune this time around, and while that big ocean blue ice giant might be the planet of dreams, art, and mysticism, it’s also the planet of intuition. You’ll soon find yourself asking some deep questions, but not to another person, you’ll be asking them of yourself. That’s where the intuition influence of Neptune will come in handy as you begin the process of unravelling the secrets buried in your subconscious. But don’t worry, the pressure’s not all on you—your girl, Venus, is going direct on April 12, just in time for a full moon! She’s got some answers for you, so get ready to listen!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Let’s Mix It Up, Gemini
Get ready to rethink your social life. Do you truly enjoy the company of your current crew, or are you just going through the motions? Perhaps it’s time to phase out certain social circles in favor of new horizons, joining a new club or trying a new hangout spot might be just the thing. Get ready to gain some added clarity on the career side of things, too. For all the creative inspo Neptune has offered for the last 13 years, it’s also dropped a lot of confusion on your doorstep. Now that it’s moving on to new territory, those clouds around your head are due to part. It’ll be like LASIK, but for your brain.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your Dream Job
As Neptune makes its big move, it’s due to drop anchor in your career sector. What does this mean? Well, going into work is about to stop feeling like a total bore, for starters. It’s time to start living out your wildest fantasies and emerge as the conquering warrior goddess of cubicle-land. Is it confusing (and a little scary) that your job has changed so radically? Yeah, but these radical changes will also be, well, pretty rad if you just go with the flow. By mid-April, Mars will be departing your sign after a three month residency. As it fades away, so will the anger you’ve been processing for much of 2025. Let it go!
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Let’s Get Busy, Leo
Eclipses can be exhausting (the lunar ones, anyway), but you’d never know it to look at you, Leo. You’re looking bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready for action—and that’s even before the new moon/solar eclipse energy boost that’s coming through. If only there were some sort of sign that could tell you how best to burn off some of those calories… Hmm. Oh hey, in other news, Neptune’s big move will cause it to evacuate your intimacy sector, so if you’ve had a whole hell of a lot of confusion in that area lately, gray skies are about to clear up and you’ll be wearing a happy face (and not much else) before long!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Make Time for Love, Virgo
Mercury and Venus are still retrograding and will be until April 7th and 12th, so expect your love life and communication to remain “under review” until then. The prognosis seems to be a positive one, and your romance will enter an exciting new chapter when all is said and done. In terms of other planetary comings and goings, Neptune will turn up in your intimacy sector and inspire you to act out some dreamy scenarios in the bedroom. While Neptune can also bring confusion, especially when exploring new relationships, the enhanced sense of spirituality will help you to find a partner that is a perfect match for you on level—physical and metaphysical!
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Open Your Eyes, Libra
Your work life has been in flux for a while now, but the full moon in your sign (starting April 12!) should help stabilize things. Did we mention it’s a pink moon? That sounds much more easy to accessorize with than March’s blood moon, but hey, your mileage may vary on that one. This big move that Neptune’s making is bound to affect you as it enters your partnership/relationship sector. As we’ve learned, Neptune represents a lot of powerful forces, but one of them is illusions—try to keep that little nugget at the front of your mind before you sign any dotted lines, be they literal or metaphorical, in your professional and personal lives.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Excitement Is Headed Your Way, Scorpio
Have things been completely dead at work lately? Well, expect that to change—dramatically. It’s all because of that sunrise solar eclipse, which is either going to bring in more clientele, a big, new project, or a new career opportunity all together. And yes, Neptune is involved too, its movement will cause it to enter your 6th house (work, daily routines, service, etc.). As the planet of creative dreaminess, your professional responsibilities are going to be leaning that way for the next several years of your life (since Neptune’s a real slowpoke when it comes to stellar travel). In terms of romance, here’s a fun one: On March 26th, the moon will enter your sign at the furthest point in its orbit, which just so happens to be called Black Moon Lilith. Ol’ Lilith represents your most untamed sexual desires, so buckle up, babe!
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Be Adventurous, Sagittarius
It’s Aries season, which you already knew, but what you might not know is that Aries is the ruler of your 5th house. The 5th house is also known as the “house of pleasure.” It’s a pretty cool nickname for a house to have if you ask us and in terms of your life, it governs romance (duh), creativity, and self-expression. That all means that it’s a good time to press pause on your work and focus more on your play, at least for the immediate future. Go on a trip, make some new friends, take a class, try some new tastes, the works—really live it and love it up. You’ll learn a lot about yourself in the process, which will be aided even further by the startling clarity of the full moon in mid-April.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Build Your Dream Home, Capricorn
How does the Neptune shift affect Capricorns? It looks like Neptune will position itself in your 4th house, the one that’s all about home and family. So expect all that good Neptune-y stuff (creativity, dreams, spirituality) to influence those very personal aspects of your life. Oh yeah, it’s also going to be stuck in your 4th house until the late 2030s. Luckily, when you have a houseguest like Neptune, you’ll have very few reasons to complain! That should be plenty of time to turn your home into the colorful, soulful sanctuary you’ve always secretly wanted. At the same time, your family will feel inspired to follow their aspirations, no matter how lofty they may be, and to connect on a deeper level.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Tell Your Story, Aquarius
OK, Aquarius, it looks like Aries is in charge of your 3rd house, which includes, among other things, communication and technology. Expect to have a lot of run-ins with these two things, but keep this caveat in mind: Mercury, the communication planet, will still be in retrograde for the rest of March. When your next few emails go unanswered or your late night flirty texts accidentally get sent to your dad or grandma, don’t feel too bad, it’s stupid Mercury’s fault. However, once all that’s over with, you can expect a major blast of creativity to be infused into everything you write, thanks to an assist from Neptune. And this isn’t a one-time thing, either. Neptune’s slothlike movements mean you’ll be feeling inspired for a long time to come. Time to write a book!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Embrace the New You, Pisces
Alright, Pisces, let’s get down to brass tacks. You’ve enjoyed the benefits of Neptune living in your sign for the last 13 years, and now that spiritual energy will be departing from your life, which will start to feel like a missing piece of yourself. However, this isn’t the end of Neptune’s influence on your life. Its shift in position means that it’ll enter your 2nd house, the one that’s focused on wealth and possessions. OK, yes, it all sounds very superficial in comparison to who you’ve been since the 2010s but remember, you’re feeling the effects of Neptune in this regard, so that means that you won’t become obsessed with these things, but rather start to question the role they play in your life and self-worth. You’ll likely come out of this whole thing a much more fiscally responsible version of yourself! So you’d better buy yourself a present quick before Neptune does a whammy on you!
