Your weekly horoscope is here. This week’s hot astro headliner is illusion-inducing Neptune as it wraps up a whopping fourteen-year run in empathetic Pisces. Neptune dissolves to merge. In Pisces, the sign that it rules, it’s been on hyperdrive, creating confusion among those who like life to be high definition, certain, and not so holographic. As a ‘sign of the times’ or ‘spirit of the times’, its rainbow unicorn informed, dopamine-induced scrolling addictions, and focus on feelings and vulnerability will define this era for future generations looking back. On Monday, Neptune brings its penchant for dissolution to the self-oriented fire sign of Aries. But unlike Pisces, Aries isn’t naturally ‘ruled‘ by Neptune; it’s ruled by Mars (the deity of war), so think action, conflict, energy, heat, and a dab of anger or aggression.
The last time Neptune slammed into Aries, the American Civil War shot into motion. And of course, the preceding Piscean period of empathy had moved into selfless action in Aries, on behalf of others. This is an exciting shift if the high road is taken, and a concerning one if we’re traveling on the low road of how we could express the themes over the next fourteen or so years. In your own life, it's time to amp up your energy, get strong, follow your passion, and use your strength. Rugged individualism gives way to sacrificing the self for the sake of others' agency. And, of course, liberating oneself if one has been in any way held back, kept down, or in check. Neptune is the vehicle to the higher self, the mystic connection, and is often expressed through art and design.
Expect the beigification of the last few years to give way to bright pops, if not explosions of colour, more super s/hero’s, muscled up gym junkies, independent women, expanding military ranks, camo, and physical challenge as a path to God/dess. This is a new cycle amid a period of a changing of the guard and an opportunity to make essential shifts to progress your life. The Aries motto is ‘just do it,’ so just do it!
Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of January 25 through 31, 2026.
Aries (March 21–April 19)
The sign of the times, Neptune, shifts into Aries through 2039, yes, that’s right, you have fourteen years to find your mystic connection and get in touch with your spiritual side. Neptune dissolves, and with Aries, it’s likely to dissolve your ego and energy unless you use some of it in service of Neptunes archetypal themes. Use your energy to help others with their own independence, agency, fighting the good fight, etc. Develop a spiritual connection within yourself. You are about to be the vanguard of the new style, or at least vibe with it. It can feel like you’ve arrived, or the world finally reflects your outlook and energy, when the slow-moving planets are in your sign; be all that you can be. Your sense of self may quietly shift over this time. Be gentle and take the high road. Watch for addictions, the desire to escape or being fooled (no ‘gurus’, Aries), you are particularly permeable yet mesmerising through this era. Use your charisma to assist others and for personal development.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
As the planet of dreams, Neptune, finally shifts sign, how will that affect you? Well, everything is set to speed up more since it’s moving into the fast and furious fire sign, Aries. And for a quiet country squire at heart, you may find the pace a little raucous, so prep your space of retreat. Neptune defines how we connect mystically and artistically to our higher selves. We experience and see its style through fashion, design, art, and film. Since Neptune is activating your sphere of dreams and the collective, tune into your muses, and you’ll be right on the money about big trends over the next fourteen or so years. You’ll be tapped into what the collective is ready to see in the world. You may also like to tune into your mystic side through more physical ways, such as hiking in stunning natural places, nature's cathedrals.
Gemini (May 21–June 21)
A lot is happening in your private realm. Perhaps intimacy, a private journey, and a part of you only now germinating, filling out in its cocoon. Apart from this, you have your responsibilities in the wider world, your friendships and networks to tend. There’s a sensitive spot that could be triggered, or that could be someone else impeding on your private bliss. Aim at the bigger picture of your career and public image. Focus on goals and practical steps to get you there, while also employing faith. If you want it, and you go for it, you’re more likely to get it. Just make sure that the goal is truly worthy of your precious time and will stand you in good stead once attained. Tuesday evening through Friday morning, the moon travels through your opposite sign, bringing the need for connection through adventure, learning, and opening up the big picture on events. Invite a friend who stimulates your mind to join you for a meal, drink, or walk and talk. Perhaps you have something to skill-share with one another.
Cancer (June 22–July 22)
Cosmic shifts ahoy as Neptune sails out of a fourteen-year stint in watery Pisces, straight into the fire of Aries. Lighting up your sphere of career, the public will be watching as you meet, experience, and express this mystic warrioress through your professional life. That means people will look to you to represent a fearless, selfless yet higher principle. This brings a challenge since Cancer and Aries sit at a tense 45-degree angle on the zodiac wheel. You’ll need to step up, lead, perhaps become more of an independent agent, and certainly face challenges head-on. Meditation and tuning into your higher self are great ways to be more Neptunian. You may need to really feel your way as Neptune is like a nebulous fog, dissolving egos, structures, and anything standing between you and the higher source. Channel your inner Joan of Arc with empathy, selfless action, and standing up for what is right in your immediate professional environment.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
It may be time for some intrepid spiritual adventures to find your inner self as Neptune heads into your sphere of international travel, the world stage, and experiences that expand your horizons. In the sign of Aries for fourteen years, this is a significant change of the guard, in vibe, design, and arts. If you’re a creative, it enhances your flair for colour and bold statements, so go for it if you’ve been considering sharing your gifts more broadly. Aries themes are about taking selfless action, dissolving the ego, illusion, and glamour. There’s always the highest expression along with the lower end, in varying quantities, so check in with how you’re doing in that department. Sometimes, a reality check is in order with Neptune, and thankfully, the planet Saturn is rolling in right behind to encourage you to make your dreams a tangible reality. So Leo, have you felt the first stirrings of a dream you wish to fulfil? If not, you will soon be open to your soul's whispers; this era is a golden opportunity waiting to be plucked.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
The planet Neptune represents dreams, illusions, and spiritual connection. Its function is to dissolve, and this week it brings that capacity to the sign of Aries, where it will reside through 2039. In your sphere of shared resources and benefits through others, this dissolution could bring about confusion, or it could be a wonderfully deep, spontaneous spiritual connection. While the ‘sign of the times’ isn’t exactly the vibe you prefer in your tribe, we’re working with what we’ve got, so prepare to pick up the pace, the passion, and take the lead. Be bold and fearless, less wallflower, more adventuress, in your intimate life. This includes your understanding of your own psychological drives. It’s a great period to get in and let go of baggage--burn it in the flames of new beginnings. It’s time to travel with a lighter heart, dear Virgo.
Libra (September 23–October 23)
A new era has already begun dawning, and this Monday that era rises ever more into view as Neptune, the planet of dreams, spirituality, and the ‘sign of the times’, shifts from sensitive Pisces into firebrand Aries. While this is a major astro and arts headline, it’s particularly relevant to you since the new host, Aries, is your opposite sign. That means the themes expressed over its fourteen-year run are the polarity of all you stand for. The great part is that it encourages balance; the challenge is that it’s just really different. Where you prefer peace at all costs, negotiation and harmony, Aries will ‘shoot first, aim later’, so to speak. It has a need for immediate action that just won’t quit, can be rash, self-oriented, me-first, and impatient. Which is why it breaks you out of indecision! Activating all things partnerships, you may need to bring this energy to your one-to-ones; you’ll certainly be meeting the more spiritual Aries types, as well as the shadow side, which can be fuelled by illusion, delusion, and addiction (like an adrenaline junkie). So dear Libra, be ready to stand up for yourself, take the lead, and go for the higher connection in relationships.
Scorpio (October 24–November 21)
A long-term focus on your sphere of work and wellness begins on Monday as Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and arts, moves into Aries. Neptune describes the doorway to your connection with the Divine, to your higher self, or however you experience that higher ground. Its function is to dissolve whatever barriers impede that connection. It also throws up a fog of delusion just to make the whole thing more interesting. In the fire sign Aries, find worthy challenges in work, work environment, and fitness routine. Get physical, sweat, and healthily release anger. Since Neptune is also about spirituality and escapism, your routines need to accommodate a daily practice that allows you to zone out. That could be through running, jogging, sports, weight lifting, arts, or meditation. This could be your get strong, build muscle and bone, and test your limits era. Don’t be hooked into office spats, and do stay independent. Advocate for or mentor as a way of giving back.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
If you’ve been considering a new hobby or have been at a loss for how to spend your spare time, the times, as they say, are a’changin’. As a new era begins on Monday with Neptune's move into Aries, it activates your sphere of leisure, creative self-expression, and dating/romance. Aries is a sister fire sign, so you are literally ‘in your element’ with this one. For 14 years, a sensitivity, a creativity, and a spiritual path invite you on your self-development journey. Adventure into new, uncharted creative, spiritual, or dating territory. This sphere also rules children, so perhaps that's your next adventure! Whether your children are human or creative babies, the Aries signature gels well with your own interest in ardent, fearless missions. Bright colours, self-discovery, and creative or physical challenges are ways to tune into your divine nature, turn up the flame on your lightning-quick intuition, and understand the meaning within the mundane. Take the reins and enjoy the ride, dear Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
As Neptune blasts into the fires of self-made Aries for the foreseeable future, well, until 2039, a change of the guard from empathetic Pisces is here from Monday. While Aries themes are nothing new, we’ve experienced consecutive planets through Aries for several years; this picks up the tone and paints the walls with it. Art, design, and the look or vibe of an era is informed in part by the sign Neptune inhabits over that period. So, fire, heat, rage, self-reliance, assertiveness, red, energy, sports, forging new ground, it’s all here. Be bold, be entrepreneurial, it’s time for a me-centered fresh start. It’s also time for a little self-sacrifice to help others enjoy their fair share of independence. Activating your domestic sphere, it's time to carve out a space of one’s own. You shoulder many responsibilities, so this is your call to consolidate what really is and isn’t your burden. A little ‘me’ time perhaps? Leave room for spontaneity, choose healthy goals and personal challenges, and build your spiritual connection through a worthwhile quest.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
The vibes are set to ultra Aquarius as five planets buzz through your high-fidelity sign. Enjoy the social flair and opportunities over this period. Move at speed, accomplish much, and process more than usual. You’re impossible to resist with that aura, Aquarius. If you’re feeling more on the reclusive side and working through an idea in your mind, this period lends clarity; give it all you’ve got and don’t let distraction slide in. Neptune changes sign on Monday as it makes the final dash from 14 years in Pisces to 14 years in fiery Aries. Neptune's time in each sign is a mini epoch, as fashion, art, film, and even addictions of choice reflect the traits of the host zodiac sign. Expect fire, heat, and breakneck pace. This is an exciting period for you as its highly stimulating effect encourages you to get out of your head and ‘just do it’. Activating your sphere of local social connections, this is a take charge, initiate, and lead energy. Whether empathetic, helping the helpless, artistic groups, or spiritual gatherings, you have a part to play.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
Your ruling planet, Neptune, has been floating through your sign since 2011, slowly eroding the edges around long-held definitions, boundaries, and limitations. We’re all much better off in some ways, and more confused in others. For you, dear Pisces, your sense of self, your ego, and sensitivities may have become ever more permeable and elevated. Whether you experienced it as spiritual, emotional, psychic, or artistic, it’s been a defining era in your development and not one to take lightly. A definitive shift arrives on Monday as Neptune moves from Pisces to Aries, where it will correlate to a new paradigm in style, art, spirituality, and trends. Moving into your sphere of finance, apply the themes of Aries independence, assertion, and entrepreneurship to your values, acquisitions, investments, and how you earn. Neptune is a planet of magic and manifestation, as well as dissolution. Consider donating some of your proceeds to charity, or use your artistic talent to earn.
