As 2025 winds down, change is already in the air. Stoic Saturn and spiritual Neptune are both wrapping up long journeys through Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Early in 2026, they’ll embark on fresh chapters in Aries, which is the first sign of the zodiac and offers a very different vibe.
Saturn, the zodiac’s stern supervisor, has been harnessing the buzz of compassionate Pisces since March 2023, making us wonder if the world lost all sensitivity. For Neptune, the ride has been even longer. The solidly ‘woo’ planet has been planted in Pisces (its home base) since April 2011. This pulled everything from astrology to plant medicine into the zeitgeist.
Saturn and Neptune are an astrological odd couple — and they don’t team up in the same sign very often. But from March 2023 until April 2028, we’re all being forced to reckon with their shared energy as they move through this pair of zodiac signs.
