Fall 2025: The Past Impacts Your Future
some of the events that occurred when Neptune first entered the sign of Pisces. Neptune is quite the opposite of Saturn as it represents the need to dissolve boundaries and chase your dreams, espe- cially dreams of a better life. It often represents the disenfranchised of so- ciety, whether these are individuals society op- presses or individuals that believe their dreams for a better life aren’t being ad-

Over the first several months of the year 2025, three major planets entered new signs: Neptune entered the sign of Aries on March 30, 2025; Saturn entered the sign of Aries on May 24, 2025; and Ura - nus entered the sign of Gemini on July 7, 2025. The entry of each one of these planets in a new sign indicated the beginning of major par- adigm shifts to occur over the upcoming several years. Their initial entry “hinted” at how these shifts will impact your life. Yes, the word “hinted” is used intentionally. There’s an interesting astronomical phenomenon that occurs with these slower moving planets: they enter a new sign for a few months, turn retrograde, and then re-enter their old sign for a few months before turning direct and finally entering the new sign for an extended period. Spiritually, as well as emotionally, the re-entry in retrograde mo- tion of outer planets into their old signs is very important, perhaps even critical. It gives you a chance to review the changes that occurred over the past several years and how those changes impacted your life. It also provides a little “breathing room” before the changes now in progress start to impact your life. While this is always important, this quarter is more critical than ever before because Saturn in retrograde motion will return to the sign of Pisces on September 1, 2025; Nep - tune in retrograde motion will return to the sign of Pisces on October 22, 2025; and Uranus in retrograde motion will return to the sign of Taurus on November 7, 2025. Saturn in Pisces – Generative AI Saturn entered the sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023, where it re - mained for close to 2.5 years before it entered the new sign of Aires on May 24, 2025. During the same time period, generative AI entered the mass consciousness in a big way. Technically, AI is not new. AI, short for “artificial intelligence”, entered the public vocabulary after Alan Turing published his paper, “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” in the October 1950 issue of the Mind journal. However, what gener- ative AI has brought to the masses over these last several years is the ability to create new content, either truthful or fraudulent, based on the information this software was trained to learn. Now that Saturn has re-entered the sign of Pisces, it’s time to review your relationship with AI, or with any systems where your boundaries have been compromised. While Saturn may represent the rules you want to establish in your life, Pisces seems to be just the opposite. Pi- sces is the sign of creativity, and also the sign of illusion. When Saturn is in Pisces, it’s almost like trying to hold a water balloon in your hand and finding your grip slipping. Your creativity can increase, which is good. However, you may also find yourself trusting situations where you don’t have all the information, which could cause a problem. As you move through this latest phase of Saturn in Pisces, you will find it easier to re-establish your priorities and assert your boundaries. As a matter of fact, once Saturn leaves Pisces and enters the sign of Aries on February 13, 2026, you’ll find it easier to define your bound - aries. Neptune in Pisces – Idealism, Disenfranchisement, Social Media and Influencers Neptune in retrograde motion re-enters the sign of Pisces on Octo- ber 22, 2025. It entered the sign of Pisces on April 4, 2011, and stayed there for a short time period until August 4, 2011, to give you a hint of the trends to come. It re-entered the sign of Pisces on February 3, 2012, and remained there for 14 years until March 30, 2025, when it entered the sign of Aries. Because Neptune stayed in a sign for 14 years, the list of critical events is too long to include here; but Arab Spring, Facebook going public, and the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movement are

dressed. Perhaps for these reasons it’s also apt that Neptune represents escapism from harsh reality. This escapism can be the positive form of artistic expression, or the more negative of addictive behavior. It can also represent where you aren’t willing to see the reality of a situation but rather focus on what you want the situation to be. All of this is es- pecially true when Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces. When Neptune does re-enter the sign of Pisces — from October 22, 2025, until January 26, 2026 — and before it enters the new sign of Aries, you’ll find your focus is both on manifesting your dreams and improving your quality of life. While this may feel and sound nebulous (as things tend to with Neptune), this desire is real. This is a good time to look at those parts of your life where you’ve had dreams. Another aspect of Neptune in Pisces is that group interaction is important, and seeking support from your friends can be very useful during this time period. You’ll also start seeing changes in the area of social media during this time. In many ways social media has dissolved the boundaries of intimacy. You can say anything you want with little or no consequenc - es; there is no need to be responsible for your words. At the same time social media has also evolved into a way of sharing your private world with people you love as well as a greater world of people within their orbits. Social media has also evolved into a business where individuals, called influencers, in typical Neptunian fashion, present a world where everything — how they look and what they say — appears to be perfect. They sell you products based on their perceived, but not necessarily real, use of those products. Yet, as Neptune now re-enters the sign of Pisces, you and others are starting to question what social media pres- ents to you. Influencers are now labeling themselves as “creators”. Also, as Neptune retrograde re-enters Pisces, you realize just how important it is to create realistic approaches to your dreams as well as re-establish intimate relationships with people who are important in your life. Uranus in Taurus – Health, Economy, Societal Discourse Saturn represents boundaries. Neptune represents the dissolution of boundaries — polar oppositions. And then comes Uranus, a planet that represents unexpected change, often hinted at but not always known until manifested. Uranus will turn retrograde and re-enter its old sign of Taurus on November 7, 2025. It originally entered the sign of Taurus on May 15, 2018, and remained there for a short time until November 6, 2018. On March 6, 2019, it re-entered Taurus and stayed for close to seven years until July 7, 2025, when it entered its new sign, Gemini.
