A once-in-a-lifetime astrological shift is here! On January 26 at 9:37 a.m. PST, Neptune enters Aries, an astrological shift that hasn’t happened since 1875. This is, without a doubt, one of the most important astrological shifts of 2026, as Neptune remains in Aries for the next fourteen years, until 2038. Neptune is the last planet in the solar system, ruling over dreams, spirituality, fantasy, art, love, and all that is non-tangible. Neptune spent the last fourteen years swimming in the waters of Pisces, bringing a boom in spiritual practices between 2011 and 2025.
As Neptune enters Aries after passing the very first degree of the zodiac, we’re beginning not only a fourteen-year cycle, but a 165-year cycle. At a personal level, Neptune in Aries is set to color your dreams and inspire a fiery approach not only towards spirituality, but towards your most yearned goals. Neptune is the planet of vision, and Aries is the most action-prone sign of the zodiac. As new dreams begin to take shape this week, sitting in ritual is what aligns you to an astrological shift that defines not only the year, but the next decade and beyond.
Neptune in Aries Fire & Water Ritual
GATHER your tools: Orange “Write-Your-Own-Prayer” Candle - Attaining Goals, a piece of Blue Lace Agate, a piece of Carnelian Tumble, a small bowl of water, and a marker.
SIT at your favorite ritual space and place the bowl of water to your left, and the Orange Magic Candle to the right.
TAKE a few slow breaths and dip your fingers into the bowl of water, and ask: “As Neptune enters Aries, what dream is ready to move?”
LET the answer arrive without forcing it, even if it takes a while.
WRITE your thought in the candle in a short, concise, and present-tense form.
PLACE the Blue Lace Agate beside the bowl of water to anchor clarity and intuitive truth.
PLACE the Carnelian at the base of the candle to fuel courage, momentum, and follow-through.
LIGHT the Orange Magic Candle and say, “I trust my vision, and I move towards it,” for a total of twelve times, with intention.
LET the candle burn safely for as long as possible.
KEEP the Blue Lace Agate under your bed to download Neptunian messages via your dreams.
CARRY your piece of Carnelian when taking action on your dreams.
PRO TIP: Repeat this ritual on Tuesdays every time you want to connect with spirit.
