Hello,
My name is Ashley and today I'll be diving into different transits of the astrology of 2026 and offering wellness practices to balance the planetary shifts as a yoga and meditation teacher and astrologer.
Starting off 2026 on January 27th Neptune will enter the cardinal fire sign Aries where it will stay for the next 12 years.
Neptune is the planet of illusion,
Dreams,
Spirituality,
Mysticism and Aries is the first sign of the zodiac.
Cardinal fire starts off the astrological zodiac,
Trailblazer,
Headstrong,
Independent,
Bold,
Courageous.
Neptune first entered Aries on March 30th 2025 and retrograded back into Pisces.
It went direct meaning it started moving forward again on December 10th 2025 making its way towards Aries.
What this means is that our collective appetite to cut through the haze of what's holding us back and finally pursue our dreams will have this spark of headstrong Aries.
Neptune takes about 165 years to complete a full cycle meaning that it traverses through all 12 zodiac signs spending roughly 14 years in each sign.
So 12 zodiac signs times 14 years equals 168 years.
The last time Neptune was in Aries was 1861.
Wellness for when Neptune enters Aries and will stay there for the next 12 years includes an aura protection meditation.
I really recommend this practice because Neptune in Aries will bring a very confusing fiery yang energy spirit and as the planet of spirituality enters something that is very headstrong we may feel a lot of individual opinions,
Individual beliefs,
Individual spirits becoming really strong and out in the open.
So this aura protection meditation is going to help you contain and protect your own energy.
You can do this practice by envisioning your breath clearing the fiery energy surrounding you,
Calming the warrior spirit and rebalancing you back into stillness.
I have a guided practice if you'd like to save it and practice on your own.
Another practice I recommend is somatic arm clearing making a rainbow shape with your arms to clear the Neptune haze and forge your independent path forward for your pursuits.
Try this practice of inhaling and raising your arms to the sky,
Exhaling with arms extended,
Float them down by your side making a rainbow shape.
The physical movement of your arms clears out any stuck energy that isn't yours and this practice again is super helpful to clear the auras or energies of other people's opinions,
Spirits that may have leaked into your energetic aura and whether it serves you or not it's a beautiful practice to just come back to yourself.
Thank you for listening to this quick little chat on Neptune in Aries.
I hope it provided you with some more information about what this transit means in astrology and for you to embed it in your daily life.
Thank you so much for joining.
