Several major celestial events have occurred during March in a sequence every two or three days so it has the effect of a stellium where everything feels more intense. All these events planets and aspects align together and go back and forth over the same degree points 8-10° of Aries and 29-01° of Aries. Some of these markers in March I have reported on in previous posts, but if the ‘armonia celestis’ is like a symphony then each movement has been shifting the mood and preparing us for the grand crescendo to a dramatic finale when Neptune motif recurs. The Lord of the Oceans leaves Pisces ending a fourteen-year stay there, and moves into Aries on March 30th. That’s the big one as it is a long cycle and potentially a paradigm shift. We could be feeling it is time to change, move, leave jobs or adopt a totally different world view and all that could be easier now than ever before.
But let’s take stock of all the developments so far as so this pile up of events can block our vision and the big picture may not be clear yet. It’s important to see the bigger picture and be like Jupiter overseeing all. Here is a list to review. It would have been good to do all your rest and reflection in early March before the Vernal Equinox as chances are you may not have time now and during April.
So here we are at the end of March and three significant celestial events happen in a row at this time and this is not coincidental. The second eclipse in March closes the eclipse window (14th-28th) for the spring period, but still could have a reverberation effect for months to come. It follows fast on the Venus conjunct Neptune at 29° of Pisces March 27th pointing once again to the ending before the grand beginning. Venus is now back in Pisces so feeling stronger and more socially adept and flexible. Conjunct Neptune she still could be prone to deceptions as while this could be lucky, people have a habit of avoiding the truth and we still need tha rock solid shit detector to see who is still ‘in denial’ or not.
The partial solar eclipse can be called a ‘Black Moon’ as the Moon aligns with the Earth in front of the Sun and becomes invisible. This is traditionally time to formulate strong intentions. We may feel it hit especially if we have any planets at around 8° of Aries, where it would be conjunct, Libra, which it opposes, and Cancer or Capricorn which it squares. But this is the last eclipse in that series in Aries-Libra for now. The remaining eclipses of 2025 fall on the Virgo-Pisces axis.
Some say there is no connection between eclipses and earthquakes but is it coincidental that an earthquake happened yesterday on the eclipse? I happen to be in Thailand at the moment and nearby Myanmar experienced a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that managed to shake buildings as far away as Bangkok. The infinity pools on the tops of big hotels became wave machines. According to Temblor.com the stress of high and low tides caused by new and full moons can trigger earthquakes. Many people have been concerned about their personal safety yet in the south I attended a ‘Black Moon’ party with fire-eating performers and everything appeared fine on the surface.
Neptune enters Aries
Then we get the finale of the symphony of all the March madness and build up of energies needs a final release point. It does not stop in April but we are just dealing with March here.
This long-awaited ingress occurs just after the eclipse so aligns with it. Also it is just two days before April 1st known as ‘Fools’ day. The Trickster energy is high and it is worth taking extra care with your belongings. The Fool in the Tarot steps off the cliff without looking. But it is better to look where your feet fall and not be blinded by idealism, not be deceived, yet still manage to smell the roses on the way. This ingress is momentous and comes with high expectations but what shifts may be subtle and just inside you- a change of perception or a more militant more authentic feeling of who you are- and not be noticed for a while.
Neptune has not been in Aries since 1861-1875- the time of the Civil War in the USA. And though Neptune dips back into Pisces later this year, once it reenters Aries on February 20th 2026, and only then becomes exact, it will stay under the rulership of Mars until 2039!
Check where this 0°-1 of Aries is in your personal as it will not only oppose any planets you have in Libra, but also square those in Aries and Capricorn. This is the point of the fresh or ‘beginners’ mind. New starts are not only possible but feasible and viable.
Neptune or Poseidon combining with Aries ruled by Mars (or Ares the Greek god) can bring combative energy. If they were ever faced in physical combat it would be a grand old clash of very different styles of power- what rules the sea does not always rule in a personal fight. But there’s talk of he rise of the spiritual warrior archetype- the one who fights for honour not just for the habitual defensive patterns. Did not Bruce Lee say that the warrior fighter should ‘be like water’ and be observant and intuitive? We should bend where needed and be ready to ‘flow’ so as not to expend too much energy yet still have power.
Hopefully, we’ll not see much more ‘splitting’ of opinions and obsession with fixed ideas worldwide but that rift that splitting creates may be necessary to see where people are divided by beliefs and lack faith in anything of genuine value in order to correct it. It does seem that interests have become overly materialistic (and yes ‘profane’ is the right word) and people find themselves disconnected from Spirit and Nature. This time could bring the final dissolution of the old institutions governments and religions and any points of view that create victimisation and a false sense of division. I’m all for a return to the sacred if that’s what Neptune in Aries brings. It creates a sense of honour of fighting only for what is right but knowing when to hold back which can mean an increase in personal sovereignty.
Another element in the mix here – if you follow the nothing is coincidental theory-is the muse energy. Not only is this point – zero of Aries sextile to Sedna at 01° of Gemini reminding us of the power of the sea, but the Neptune/Saturn that becomes exact in February of 2026 is conjunct asteroid Urania. This stands out to me as significant yet not many astrologers have mentioned that Urania is part of the picture here too.
Urania is the very last of the muses. She presides over astrology and astronomy, and is represented holding a compass that measures the globe. Astrology can reconnect people to their sacred roots. People who study and use it can feel their personal lives actually have meaning along with planetary cycles of universe. So for Urania to be with Neptune and Saturn points to a deeper understanding of astrology, not superficial but with more gravitas. It could see astrology in a greater ascendancy as well as scientific measurements which could be even more revealing and/or paradigm shifting about the real nature of the relationship of the Earth to the galaxies. Even the lovers Eros and Psyche come close together in Gemini at that time too.
Mercury goes direct on the 7th April and Venus goes direct on the 12th April so things will proceed more smoothly. Mishaps and losing things may be resolved as items are retrieved somehow and we’ll be glad we backtracked during the retrograde period. Mars also will feel much better in Leo from the 19th April.
We’ll have to wait and see with either a telescope or a horoscope to hand to divine the message that is contained in all these celestial events as they have lined up to speak urgently about what we need to change, and what we need to do next.
