We have a rare planetary ingress (entry) this week. Neptune, the mythical god of the sea and ruler of illusion, deception, escape, dreams, and creativity, moves into the fires of Aries for the final time in our lifetime. Neptune in Aries is a rare transit because Neptune takes 165 years to move through the zodiac, and the last time we experienced Neptune’s entrance into Aries was 1861-62. Yes, that was when the United States experienced its bloody and traumatizing civil war. Let’s dive into this week’s astrological forecast. All dates and times are  Eastern Standard Time. 

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Sunday, January 25: Moon moves from Aries into Taurus

In the morning, the Moon is finishing her time in the fires of Aries and activating Chiron, the wounded healer. Mother Moon then makes her way into the exalted cushion of Taurus later in the day, where she will start to form a harsh square connection with the Aquarius stellium we discussed in depth last week. This lunar movement takes us from taking responsibility for your trauma to desiring to shift away from your comfort zone and move away from the status quo with your creativity, ideas, and choices. 

Monday, January 26: Neptune enters Aries

Neptune re-enters Aries for the final time after a preview of this generational transit from the end of March to October last year, thanks to Neptune retrograding back into Pisces until today. Think about the themes of this preview and the events that transpired, especially if you have significant Aries placements in your chart. You can also look at what house you have, Aries, to understand which area of life this is taking place in for you. This generational transit will last until 2039.

In ancient mythology, Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, freshwater, storms, and horses. The symbol of Neptune is the trident, representing what he held as he ruled his dominion. He is described as using his trident to destroy when angry at humans with storms, floods, or earthquakes. Neptune is also associated with disasters on Earth through water. In Astrology, Neptune governs inspiration, spirituality, dreams, illusion, the subconscious, higher artistic self-expression, and ethereal beauty. One can call him the “higher octave” of Venus. On the shadow side, Neptune can also represent delusion, dissolution of boundaries, deception, escapism, addiction, collapse of reality, seclusion, and infectious diseases. 

Neptune in Aries will last until 2038-39, making it a generational transit. During this transit, we will experience an increase in war and defense technology, damage to the Earth from extreme weather caused by human-made climate change, and more frequent earthquakes. We will also see a shift from the hyper-perfection and plastic surgery trends to authenticity and unique aesthetics. This is especially true for artists, influencers, and celebrities—the Kardashian era is over, and it’s time for the rise of the true self on collective platforms.

Oracle Card of the Week

Due to the Neptunian theme of this week ahead, I felt the desire to tap into The Starseed Oracle by Rebecca Campbell. This deck taps into the power of the cosmos, activating your soul gifts and connection with your cosmic origins to help you remember who you truly are. 

The oracle card of the week is Star Family: You are part of a team of souls. Call in support. This card is about family in every sense, including blood family, chosen family,

spiritual community, and the people who feel like home to your nervous system. It reminds you that you are not meant to carry everything alone, especially under Neptune’s influence, when emotions can feel bigger, boundaries can feel softer, and the line between what is yours and what you are absorbing can blur.

This week, you may feel called to reconnect with your people and lean into the web of support around you. You may also be asked to support someone else, but the message is not about martyrdom. It is reciprocity. Pay attention to where you have been trying to be strong in isolation, or where pride, shame, or fear has kept you from asking for help. Star Family confirms that support is available, but it requires your participation. Reach out. Send the message. Make the plan. Let yourself be held.

On a deeper level, this card is also about energetic resonance. Neptune can heighten intuition, but it can also heighten projection. Star Family helps you calibrate. The right people will feel grounded, clarified, and strengthened. The wrong people will leave you foggy, drained, or unable to perform. Let this be a week where you choose connection that restores you, not connection that costs you.

If you have been feeling disconnected, unseen, or like you are doing too much alone, this card is your reminder that your soul has a team. Call them in. Speak your need plainly. Allow support to show up in practical ways. Your path does not require isolation to be real.

Where the planets are now in the sky.

☀ Sun in Aquarius

January 20 – February 19, 2026

This week, we are shifting from the grounded earth sign of Capricorn and into the revolutionary air of Aquarius. We are moving from strategy and long-term planning to forward movement and the revolutionizing of systems that no longer serve. 

☿ Mercury in Aquarius (Direct)

January 20 – February 6, 2026

Mental clarity turns future-minded. Expect sharper ideas, innovative problem-solving, and conversations focused on truth, community, and long-term vision.

♀ Venus in Aquarius (Direct)

January 17 – February 9, 2026

Relationships shift toward freedom and authenticity. Friendship, collaboration, and shared ideals become the foundation for attraction, connection, and values-based choices.

♂ Mars in Aquarius (Direct)

January 23 – March 2, 2026

Action gets strategic and collective. Motivation rises for bold experiments, advocacy, and making changes that serve your future, your community, and your independence.

⚸ Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius (mean)

December 20, 2025, to September 14, 2026

Black Moon Lilith has entered Sagittarius, initiating a nine-month cycle of liberation around belief systems, truth, and personal freedom. This transit challenges dogma, cultural conditioning, and moral control. Lilith in Sagittarius demands authenticity and the courage to live according to your own truth, even when it disrupts others. This is a time to reclaim your voice and worldview.

♃ Jupiter in Cancer (Retrograde)

November 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026

Jupiter continues its retrograde journey in Cancer, turning growth inward. Emotional security, family patterns, and ancestral healing take center stage. Expansion now comes through nourishment, rest, and redefining what safety and abundance truly mean. This is a time to strengthen your internal foundation before external growth resumes.

♄ Saturn in Pisces (Direct)

November 27, 2025, to February 13, 2026

Saturn remains direct in Pisces and is slowly gaining speed. This is a period of spiritual accountability and emotional maturity. Illusion is no longer sustainable. Boundaries are required in intuitive, creative, and emotional spaces. Saturn asks for consistency in your spiritual practices and responsibility for your inner world.

☊ North Node in Pisces / ☋ South Node in Virgo (Mean)

January 12, 2025, to August 18, 2026

The nodal axis continues guiding the collective toward faith, intuition, creativity, and surrender. Old patterns of over-analysis, perfectionism, and control are being released. Trusting the unseen path is essential now.

♅ Uranus in Taurus (Retrograde)

November 7, 2025, to February 3, 2026

Uranus is in its final retrograde in Taurus, continuing profound internal shifts around money, values, resources, and sustainability. Change is still unfolding beneath the surface. The goal is long-term stability built on innovation rather than attachment to outdated systems.

♆ Neptune in Aries (Direct)

January 26, 2026, to July 7, 2026

Neptune has now entered the cardinal fire sign, Aries, for the first time in 165 years, where it will stay until 2039. This transit is all about choosing yourself and deconstructing whatever in your life is not aligned with it. It’s a time for authentic creativity, drive, and true passion. 

♇ Pluto in Aquarius (Direct)

October 13, 2025, to May 6, 2026

Pluto continues its slow transformation of collective power structures in Aquarius. Technology, community, and social systems are being reshaped at a foundational level. This is the early architecture of a new era focused on shared power and future-oriented reform.

⚷ Chiron Direct in Aries (Direct)

January 2, 2026, to August 3, 2026

Chiron stations direct in Aries on January 2, reopening themes of healing around identity, courage, and self-assertion. Forward movement resumes in areas where confidence or leadership is perceived as blocked. This marks a turning point in reclaiming personal strength and authenticity after months of internal processing.
