The last couple years I have talked about an awakening period for the Generation X clan. I consider these to be the people born in the 1960’s and I focused in many of my classes and radio shows on those born between 1965-68 with the tight Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo in their natal charts [ around the 18-24 Virgo range]. I have talked at length about how late 2015 through late 2016 this group would get a trine from transiting Pluto in Capricorn as well as conjunctions from transiting Jupiter in Virgo as well as the North Node in Virgo during this period with the highlight being the summer of 2016.

Many that I know in this group have been given the wake-up call if you will. Upon further study of my own chart and those of others, I ran across another time period of interest that is a few years down the road. Those born in mid-1966 through the spring of 1967 will also have Saturn in the late degrees of Pisces through the early degrees of Aries. This article will apply to those people as well as in some degree to anyone with planets in the last few degrees of Pisces through the first few degrees of Aries..let’s call it 26 Pisces through 3 Aries.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and signifies the wrapping up or completion or letting go of old things while Aries is the beginning of the new year [ if you use the correct calendar] and signifies new birth and new beginnings. Every year during February through April the inner planets will always move through these 2 signs and some years some of the outer planets will be there also. This is a changing over the period..there are deaths and births and a changing of the guard if you will.

If you were born in mid-1966 through early 1967 your natal Saturn will be in the last few degrees of Pisces or the first few degrees of Aries. Old soul vs new soul, death vs. rebirth, old vs. young, the crossover point where the zodiac ends and then begins again.

Just so you know where I am coming from I have Sun at 29 Pisces and Saturn at 02 Aries so I have a vested interest in this. In looking at my chart a few years down the road I noticed a very key time period for myself as well as anyone with planets in those late Pisces/ early Aries degrees. The period I am looking at is the period from about April 2024 – February 2026. I can’t tell you everything that will happen at this point but forewarned is forearmed..or something like that.

As you may know when planets station the energy of that planet is much more powerful than normal. If that planet happens to station on one of your planets than even more so. So I’m going to run down a little timeline of that period for you just so you know what’s up.

First I want to briefly go over a couple of the key players here. Saturn, Neptune and the Nodes. Saturn is rules, structure, disciple, the great auditor. Saturn shows us limitations and helps us see what needs to be fixed. Saturn is also structured and it is also the structure of consciousness. I have found that many people will often show their Saturn sign as much as their Sun sign.. why?.. because that is how they structure their reality. I have Saturn in Aries…I often structure and confront my reality from an Aries point of view.

Neptune is the subconscious, intuition, the mystical, spiritual, paranormal part of our brain. Neptune rules all the weird stuff that we can’t put our finger as well as the non3d part of our reality.

The North Node is the future or the energy we need to embrace to go forward. The North Node is like watching a movie preview..you don’t always get the whole movie at that time but you get to see enough to form an idea what you may like or if you would care to see that movies.

The South Node is past karma, things being worked on from previous lives and people and/or issues that we can draw upon for help but in the long term will hinder our growth.

If you follow the chakras Saturn is the 1st Chakra, Mars is the 3rd Chakra and Neptune is the co-ruler of the 2nd chakra [ although there seems to be some discussion about this].

If you have kept a journal you may want to look back at these time periods to get a bit of the flavor that’s coming:

May-July 2006. The North Node was between 3 Aries- 26 Pisces during this period.

July- December 2015 The South Node was between 3 Aries- 26 Pisces during this period.

March 1996- Jan. 1997 Saturn was between 26 Pisces- 3 Aries during this period.

Currently, Saturn is in late Sag so it is at the last square before it hits the place it will be in the period of 2024-2025 that I mentioned above. Many things that are started now will hit the next phase then when Saturn is square to the position it is in now. Saturn takes roughly 28 years to go through the zodiac so every 7 years it squares where it was 7 years before.

Also as a point of reference note that most of the planets make stations, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto make stations twice a year normally…once going retrograde and then another going direct. Mercury goes retro 3 or 4 times a year so it makes 6 -8 stations a year. Venus goes retro every 18 months so it stations twice every other year. Point being… planets do not station that often and the out planets are usually far apart and not near the same degrees so it is a big event when multiple outer planets and/or Nodes converge at a certain point..it IS telling us something.

If you do not know where 26 Pisces-3 Aries falls in your chart I would find out in the next couple years.

Ok, enough of that here’s the lineup you will be getting between April 2024- December 2025 I’m going to use the dates when things hit 29 Pisces since that is kind of the mid-degree of the degrees we are talking about as well as it being the last degree of the Zodiac. I have also included the dates when planets station near these degrees in this period.

4/30/24 Mars is at 29 Pisces – Mars is activation.

6/24/24 Neptune is at 29 pisces – Neptune is intuition

7/1/24 Neptune stations Rx 29 pieces –

12/3/24 North Node hits 3 Aries moving backward- the North Node is future

12/6/24 Neptune station direct 27 pisces –

1/11/25 North Node hits 29 Pisces

3/3/25 Neptune hits 29 Pisces going direct

5/13/25 Saturn hits 29 Pisces- Saturn is structures

5/25/25 Saturn enters Aries

Saturn, Neptune and the North Node are all conjuncts during this time in the late degrees of Pisces

7/3/25 Neptune station retrograde 2 Aries

7/12/25 Saturn stations retrograde at 1 Aries

9/1/25 Saturn re-enters Pisces at 29 degrees

11/28/25 Saturn goes directly at 25 Pisces

12/9/25 Neptune stations direct at 29 Pisces

1/26/26 Neptune enters Aries

2/04/26 Saturn hits 29 Pisces

2/14/26 Saturn enters Aries

Saturn hits 3 degrees Aries in March while Neptune stations twice more near this point later in 2026.

Suffice to say any planets or wherever you have these degrees in your chart will be completely changed during this time. If you have anything at exactly 29 Pisces you will get 3 direct hits from both Saturn and Neptune while having a conjunction from the transiting North Node. This will be a game changer to the 10th exponent.

Also, note that Pluto will make its first movement into Aquarius in March of 2023. Starting in late September of 2025 Jupiter will be in the 20 degrees of Cancer which will be forming a trine to the Saturn, Neptune and North Node placements in Pisces.

What does it all mean? Too many variables but I would start focusing now on this area of your chart and start putting things into place now..this could be the big payoff if you are prepared. What I can guarantee is lots of changes and this will be a once in a lifetime combination of transits.

Every year there are many times when a Planet changes Signs, some of Planets change Signs several times a year such as Venus and Mercury and the Sun. The outer Planets stay in a sign much longer so on the rare year when one of the outers switches signs it is noticed much more because of the slow transit time of the Planet. Most of the outer Planets have changed signs recently and we will have Saturn, which is kind of the bridge between the inner and outer Planets, moving into Scorpio in October. The only true Outer Planet changing Signs this year is Neptune which will be leaving Aquarius and moving into  Pisces on February 3rd. This movement has additional weight because Neptune is the ruling Planet for Pisces, this is akin to a Sports team having Home Field Advantage in a game. Neptune is comfortable and at home in Pisces and is able to do its work without any adjustment needed.

Now we got a preview of what to expect from this last year when Neptune went into Pisces from April 4th through August 11th when Neptune was retrograde and went back into Aquarius for a last visit. Neptune went direct again on November 9th last year and will move into Pisces for the next 14 years roughly on Feb. 3rd at 2:03 p.m. est . One helpful thing to do is look at what was going on in your life from April through early August last year as kind of a sneak preview. Shortly we’ll look at what kind of things Neptune rules so you can see where it’s effects may have been felt.

 Neptune was discovered on September 23rd, 1846 which is usually the last day of the sign of Virgo which is Pisces opposite oddly enough. So Neptune has now made a complete transit through the Zodiac and is now returning to the point where it was originally discovered so now the big question is what can we expect?

Well first of all we look at ruler ship, what does Neptune and Pisces rule? It rules water of all sorts, music, arts, dreams, intuition, psychic abilities, ocean life, secrets and hidden things, faith and spirituality. It also rules gases, the underdog , Anaesthesia , contagions and disease, mass delusions and  victimization as well as addiction.

Pisces and it’s opposite rules the Sadism [ Virgo ] masochism [ Pisces ] polarity as well as the analytical left brain [ Virgo ] and the visual , picture orientated right brain [ Pisces] .

The other part of seeing what is to come is looking at what happened in the past. The first year or so after Neptune was discovered there were several big jumps or inventions in Neptune / Piscean areas.

There was a Cholera [ Contagion / Disease ] outbreak in England , wide scale famine [ scarcity usually caused by being victimized by your Government  ]in Ireland, first rotary printing press [ right brain pictures ] patented , ether  [Anaesthesia /was used for the first time for a painless Dental procedure.

So, what can we expect ….and how do we deal with these things ? We can expect to see issues regarding Water purity and resources and of course we will also have our Tsunami’s and our infectious disease scares and terrorist “ threats” of all kind and other  fearful things that can come from Neptune insecurity.

On the flip side we can expect increased spirituality, getting better in touch with psychic energies ,being more intune with our emotions and feeling more empathetic towards the plight of others as Neptune is all about “ we are all one” and realizing that we are all droplets of water in the same ocean.

What else can we expect? Well Neptune is very foggy and it tends to blur the lines between things especially between reality and illusion. We will see things that seem incredible and things that don’t seem real in the media. We will have to listen to our intuition and the Piscean balance of Virgo to be able to discriminate between what is real and what is not.

The Asteroid Chiron is also in the sign of Pisces right now and it is traveling very closely with Neptune and it has to do with how we heal ourselves and how we deal with our emotional and psychic wounds. We are in a time where we can heal long enduring trauma’s and old pains that have been eating at us for a long time. This can be accomplished through the Neptunian lesson of learning faith and realizing that things happen for a reason and through using Chiron’s wisdom to find how to heal ourselves.

With Uranus traveling full speed through Aries we will at times feel that the train is speeding out of control with no one at the wheel or that we are driving very fast through a fog bank. Again we must be in tune with our intuition to keep our bearing straight.

This may be a very roller coasterish ride but if we can keep our spiritual focus and remember that it’s people that really matter we can come through this with an increased sense of community and help each other through this period.

Remember we are not physical beings going through a spiritual existence, we are spiritual entities evolving through a physical body. All of the things we see others going through , good or bad, is just another step in remembering who we are and why we are here.
