Things were certainly not better in the past, but it may feel that way. It can be easy to deify previous experiences and wish for the ‘good ole days’. This energy can be used to walk back into what you’ve outgrown. At the same time, this energy can be used to positively and helpfully.
OCTOBER 22ND 2025 – JANUARY 26TH 2026



Review your life choices and explorations since 2011/2012… Neptune moved into Pisces in 2011 and stayed in the sign as of 2012. During this time, a lot has changed for the world in terms of our ability to expand spiritually and face heavy karmic challenges. Delusion and distraction are reaching an all time high.
As Neptune finishes up in Pisces, see this period as a review. Face your own role in the unfolding over this last 14 years. Where you can, find forgiveness towards others who may have played a ‘less than innocent’ role in your soul lessons. Find gratitude for what got you here. This practice will allow you to shift your perspective of your journey and have a better relationship with your connection to Spirit.
Neptune will move back into Aries in January and will join with Saturn on February 20th… so for just under 4 months we are doing our final goodbyes and rearrangements to the spiritual trajectory that has unfolded since 2012. Look for some familiar visitors until then. There will be plenty of goodbyes, but also many may show you that they CAN be part of your future life. Ideally, they will show an eagerness to grow and change… not for you, but for themselves.
Ensure that you are securely self focused in your spiritual development. Form a rock solid (or as solid as you can) daily practice and future goals for your connection to your soul in this everyday life.
…Warnings…
...beware of movements that seek to rile you up in group scenarios with ideologies. Sometimes we simply agree on something and that is a great feeling. When we come to conclusions through reflection and life experience, often we end up with similar findings to others. This is very healing and assists us on our path.
There is a different way of forming into collectives and it can actually stymie us in our spiritual development. This is when a single force, voice, figure, or group attempts to motivate individuals to follow their cause. It is often done using fear, hatred, or even through a promise of some unattainable goal. These individuals and movements are not always malicious in their goals. This doesn’t mean that it IS a good idea to follow them. Not all that glitters is gold.
Master manipulators are working overtime as the spiritual awakening persists despite their attempts to cavort your personal energy. Don’t fall for it. Support what you want, but never let a movement tell you where to go, what to think, who to hate, or how to live.
…Relationship Goals…
…Neptune in Pisces is related to escapism. In general, wherever Neptune lands in the chart, there is a bit of dissolved boundaries, idealism, and lack of organization. As Neptune has traveled through Pisces, this dissolving power has led to a lot of new and great ways of relating. It was/is a time of being generally non decisive. Exploration into polyamory, app dating, rebuking marriage and childrearing. Personally, I am all about these shifts. I believe we should consistently question the traditional expressions within our societies.
There are, however, repercussions to our decisions. When making changes to long standing traditions, it is important to ask ‘Why was it like this in the first place?’. Human beings seem to ‘get it right for the times’ but then carry on what they have been doing a little past its prime. We are social creatures of habit and we are raised by the generation prior. They impress upon us what was impressed upon them (with slight nuances). At some point, we have to break convention and do something new.
What does this mean for this time? Well, maybe you went a little too far. Perhaps you didn’t go far enough. If you feel one way or the other in your relationships, this four month period can be a chance to set new boundaries or break old conventions.
If, for instance, you were a married man with a house and full time job in 2012 and now you are living out of your van dating woman on Tinder… congrats, you changed things. Over the next four months, you may be inspired to move back towards the conservative life you lived before this transit. Not all the way back, but a little influence from structure can allow you to express your new lifestyle in more concrete ways.
If, however, you have been stuck in a marriage that isn’t exciting you, this time may feel like a ‘last chance to escape’. Physical symptoms can arise from not acknowledging your need for ‘freedom at all costs’. I am not advising that you run off. Conversely, use this time to take responsibility for how you have treated yourself. Delve into what brought you to this point, learn from it. No matter how insufferable things may seem, you are receiving the exact medicine you need.
If there was a recent ending in a connection (meaning within the last year) then you were being guided. I am not saying it is enjoyable or easy to move on, but you were spared. Break ups suck as they are happening. We inevitably reform stronger and wiser. This is part of the growth that relationships bring us. They are a certain type of drug that melts our logical centers into mushy peas. So if something ended recently, you will be facing a good amount of soulful self reflection now. The longer that the connection went on, the more there is to look at.
Remember that doing this type of work alone doesn’t make sense. Make phone calls, texts, and organize hangouts with loved ones. It takes a village. Rebuild yourself. The toxic residue from the connection is still in your bloodstream. Don’t allow it to call you back towards the relationship. Release it through breath and intention. No matter how deep the pain right now, you are gonna be shining bright by February.
…Substance use and addiction…
...aren’t these topics fun? BTW thanks for reading them. We all seek an escape now and then. Depending on what is happening in our lives, we may desire it more than others. In my life, I have noticed that the best escapes are the ones that give you a deep chemical response in your body. There are exogenous drugs that you can put right into your mouth, lung, or even veins. These substances offer and an intense and quick temporary escape from the world.
Alcohol, cannabis, prescription drugs, sugar and even caffeine are the more acceptable forms of this. Too much of anything won’t lead to any good. However, in the short term and used intentionally, a body and mind can handle a lot. The break from stress can be a boon to one’s personal goals.
During this time period, many in my larger community have died of overdose and chronic use of drugs. Additionally I have lost many close people to use of substances as the connection cannot be maintained.
I understand the desire and consumption of drugs. My preferred escapes happen to be cooking, eating, hiking, meditating (yes this can become unhealthy) or watching endless hours of videos. I spent the majority of 15 – 30 years old (and some of my thirties) as an avid cannabis smoker. As I got a little older, it just seemed to make me paranoid and confused. My chosen hobbies may sound ‘healthier’ and maybe they are. In the same way that eating an organic homemade edible is probably healthier than taking a dab.
Regardless of what escape we choose, we are escaping. Whatever it is that we aren’t prepared to confront will find us. The more we escape, the stronger the energy will be when it finds us. This is how the cycle of abuse perpetuates.
Let’s look at our patterns. Ideally we can keep our vices and still maintain operational focus within our lives. It is up to each and everyone of us to have goals or to not have goals. Whatever path you choose, this time can be great for seeing how your escape of choice either assists or detracts from these goals.
Again, it could be sex, porn, masturbation. It could be gambling, gossiping or dieting. The key is to notice how the escape effects your ability to maintain and build your life. It is very possible that it is contributing less than it is taking. Remain curious. At the very least, try to view your habit without judgement… just notice how it effects the rest of your life.
