Saturn Has Entered Aries – Now What?

Saturn has entered Aries on May 25th, 2025.

Saturn starts a new 29-year chapter, which is significant on its own; however, what’s special this time is that it’s happening alongside Neptune’s entry into Aries.

Neptune has recently moved into Aries as well, so we’re not looking at a standalone Saturn influence, but a combined dynamic that needs to be interpreted together.

It’s super important we interpret Saturn in Aries not in isolation – but in the larger context of Neptune in Aries.

If we were to analyze Saturn in Aries alone, we might be more focused on the restrictive and disciplined side of Saturn – structure, responsibility, or self-control.

Say Saturn In Aries and you think of restrictive (Saturn) initiatives (Aries), or or the challenge of balancing caution (Saturn) with courage (Aries).

This time is different.

Neptune (also in Aries, and only 1 degree away) deeply influences the expression of Saturn.

In Aries, Saturn operates under Neptune’s guidance – the goal here is not just to enforce or contain, but to turn the personal (Aries) dream (Neptune) into reality (Saturn).

No more “I can’t.” Fueled by Neptune’s longing for something greater, Saturn in Aries becomes unstoppable.

Saturn And Neptune In Aries – Not Your Usual Conjunction

Saturn and Neptune meet in a conjunction every 36 years, and their cycles have always coincided with pivotal shifts in ideologies (Neptune) taking form through new systems or structures (Saturn).

1989 in Capricorn – Cold war ends, walls fall, institutions crack – but everything still passes through hierarchical filters
1953 in Libra – Post-WWII world order stabilized through diplomacy, alliances, and social contracts
1917 in Leo – The fall of monarchies, rise of state-centered ideologies. Power was dramatic, visible, myth-driven

So the Saturn-Neptune conjunction alone is a big deal. But what about when it occurs at 0 degrees Aries – the very 1st degree of the zodiac?

We are talking about a MASSIVE new beginning, on a scale we haven’t witnessed in thousands of years – certainly not within a human lifetime.

The last time Saturn and Neptune conjuncted at 0 degrees Aries is believed to have occurred more than 9,000 years ago, around 7,000 BC – a period that coincided with the birth of agriculture and the rise of settled human life.

Can we highlight enough the magnitude of this unique event?

From the Capricorn and Pisces era to the Aquarius and Aries era

Of course, it’s not only the uniqueness of the timing that matters, but also the shift in the nature of these transits – specifically, the qualities of the sign they ingress into.

Neptune and Saturn shifted from the last sign of the zodiac – Pisces – into the first sign of the zodiac – Aries. From Omega to Alpha. From 360 to 0.

Together, Neptune and Saturn moving into Aries is bringing a huge paradigm shift – from the Piscean age of connectivity and globalization to an Aries age of self-leadership, initiative, and decentralized power.

This is already happening – we see it in the news, in the local policy shifts, and in our everyday life – and it will only accelerate from here.

Focusing on Neptune in Aries and Saturn in Aries alone could pretty much explain the quality of the shift.

However, when we introduce our RESET frameworks – and include all outer planets -, a whole new level of understanding and big-picture coherence emerges.

According to Astro Butterfly’s WHY-WHAT-HOW framework, Pluto is the WHY, Neptune the WHAT, and Uranus is the HOW.

So if we apply the WHY-WHAT lens, we can clearly see how the dominant forces of the past reflected the Pluto in Capricorn + Neptune in Pisces dynamic.

Pluto In Capricorn / Neptune In Pisces

● The WHY was Pluto in Capricorn: the need to control, organize, and centralize power at the top – through governments, corporations, and traditional systems.

● The WHAT was Neptune (and Saturn) in Pisces: globalization, spiritual escapism, mass idealism, and dissolving into collective dreams – sometimes without clear direction or agency.

Pluto In Aquarius / Neptune In Aries

But now, with Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune and Saturn in Aries, the dynamic has completely shifted.

● The WHY is now driven by Pluto in Aquarius: the push to decentralize power, to build horizontal systems, and to empower networks and people rather than hierarchies.

● The WHAT is Neptune (and Saturn) in Aries: stepping into our own power, having the courage to take action, and following a dream that feels true to us – not one shaped by outside expectations.

The Aquarius-Aries storyline is radically different from the Capricorn-Pisces one.

We are no longer passive. We are no longer drifting in someone else’s vision. We are no longer just consumers of systems. We are becoming active participants, inventors, collaborators, and creators.

We can already see the shift taking shape: more and more people are turning to independent work, starting online businesses, and building personal brands. Self-sovereignty and financial independence are becoming the new aspirational goals.

The idea of “going off-grid” whether literally or symbolically – is gaining ground. Many people are choosing to opt out of systems they no longer trust, and to build lives based on self-sufficiency and personal alignment.

And then we also have the HOW – Uranus in Gemini – while Jupiter in Cancer will help set the concrete direction for the next 12 months of this incredibly important journey.

This is the kind of insight we will explore in the RESET program – and the kind of insight that will allow us to truly connect the dots and make sense of the bigger picture.

Each week, we’ll take one planetary ingress, dive into what it means, and then connect it to the bigger picture – so you not only understand each transit individually, but also how they all work together to shape what’s coming.

Once that big picture is clear, we’ll conclude with an implementation webinar where we apply everything we’ve learned to our natal charts.

RESET – Neptune in Aries, Saturn in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer

RESET is a 4-week journey to understand and integrate the rare, back-to-back ingresses of Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter into new signs – capturing the shift as it unfolds in real time.

The program starts on June 2nd, 2025, with our first live webinar dedicated to Neptune in Aries. It continues with Saturn in Aries (Week 2), Uranus in Gemini (Week 3), and Jupiter in Cancer (Week 4). We conclude on June 30th with the implementation webinar.
