The planet of spirituality and imagination, Neptune, is gearing up to move back to Pisces on October 22nd, 2025. Neptune has been in fiery Aries since March 30th, 2025, but comes back to Pisces for one last hurrah, staying in Pisces until January 26th, 2026 before leaving for good.
Neptune has been shifting from Pisces to Aries, which is really different energy! But we’re not done with Pisces yet, so what do these final months have for us?

About Neptune in Astrology
Neptune is one of the outer planets (along with Uranus and Pluto), and the outer planets move slowly through the zodiac. They take their time, and because they move so slowly, entire generations can have them in the same sign, so they are seen as generational planets.
Since they do move slowly, it’s a big deal when they change zodiac signs, and we’ve been experiencing that with all three. In the case of Neptune, this change is going from Pisces to Aries.
Neptune rules spirituality and intuition, and is quieter, more subdued energy. Its base energy for transit (moving) Neptune is to dissolve, and Neptune can obscure and hide (that notorious Neptune fog!).
In your natal chart (aka your birth chart), Neptune can show areas where you have to trust your intuition, where you may be carrying karmic or spiritual baggage, where you can have difficulty seeing things clearly, and where you’re most imaginative and helpful.
Neptune is the natural ruling planet for Water sign Pisces, which is artistic, empathetic, and flexible. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, so it connects with endings.
Neptune connects with the 12th house, the last of the houses, so it’s the house of endings. The twelfth house is also the house of the past, baggage, your subconscious, your karma, and hides energy.
About Neptune’s Last Hurrah in Pisces
Neptune has been in its home sign of Pisces since 2011, and Neptune at home has strengthened its energy. Neptune in Pisces has been deeply spiritual, and we’ve had a lot more time to ourselves to understand the past and be more reflective.
Neptune moving to Aries made us more willing to take the initiative with spiritual matters, and motivated to understand ourselves better. Who we are and the way we brand ourselves becomes more important over the next decade.
Neptune back to Pisces means we’re now having to spend the next few months we have left of this transit working on releasing. This is a huge time for releasing baggage on a spiritual, subconscious, karmic, and emotional level, and it might not seem too big on the outside, but you can feel the massive change internally.
This likely kicked up in a big way in September 2025 when Saturn also came back to Pisces, and with the Pisces Lunar Eclipse. It’s strong now and lasts until about mid-February.
This period with Neptune back to Pisces is especially strong thanks to Neptune being anaretic. There are 30 degrees in every zodiac sign, 360 degrees total, and 29 degrees is the last degree. It’s called the anaretic degree, and it supercharges energy.
Neptune is at 29 degrees Pisces the entire time it’s in Pisces, which is huge! When the slower transit planets like Neptune are anaretic, this usually triggers events and important developments worldwide, so we can see that happening.
This can be Neptune and Pisces related, so we can see big developments impacting medicine, healing, spirituality, chemicals and toxins, the arts, or water (things like boats, cruises, etc., or floods versus droughts, tsunamis, weather-related water events).
This position of 29 degrees Pisces is also the very last degree of not only Pisces, but the entire zodiac. It’s deeply karmic as a result, and we are likely to be seeing some pretty significant karmic endings on both a personal level as well as collectively.
This is the end of the road, of the chapter, of the book, of the phase, of the era. When Neptune goes back to Aries, that’s the first sign of the zodiac, and we’re starting over fresh, shiny, and new, but it’s important we go into that without all of the baggage that we’ve been carrying for so long.
We have this one last chance to release some of the biggest baggage that is weighing the heaviest on us. By now, we should be aware of how this has impacted us, and why it needs to go now.
Take some time to get into your subconscious or your intuition and see what you need to release for yourself. Focus on how this can be a good thing for your life, and how you can release baggage in healthy ways.
By the way, it’s going to get even kookier in November when Uranus is also anaretic! That will be in Taurus, so both Uranus and Neptune will be anaretic together, and the biggest developments can come with this overlap (November 7th – December 2nd).
This is strong, but you can use it to your advantage if you’re willing to let go, move on, and come to an understanding of what has come to pass, and prepare for the new phase of life to come.
