Neptune in Aries: ingresses and returns, 2025–2039
Neptune in Aries: a timeline of its passages through Pisces, Aries and Taurus. Check the calculated dates and read the symbolism of this long transit.
In this lesson
It is not one uninterrupted interval
The first ingress occurs in 2025, followed by a return to Pisces. Near the end of the long stay, Neptune enters Taurus in 2038 and returns once more to Aries. Use the individual rows rather than the shortened title range for a specific date.

An ideal and a beginning
A symbolic reading combines Neptunian themes of image, ideal and dissolution with Aries initiative. One question is “Which part of my new undertaking is a tested plan, and which is an expectation?”. A universal spiritual awakening cannot be inferred from one ingress.
A slow planet, different charts
Many people share Neptune in one sign. An individual reading needs natal degrees, aspects and, with a known time, houses. A shared generational backdrop does not describe an identical life for everyone born during the period.
