NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL MARS

Transiting Neptune entered Aries on March 30, 2025.  It does go back into Pisces for a short period of time (October 22, 2025, to January 26, 2026) and then after January 2026 remains in Aries until it moves into Taurus in approximately 14 years. 

The Sextile aspect (60° between two planets or angles) is considered a major aspect. (The Conjunction, Trine, Square and Opposition are also major aspects.) Normally, we find we begin to feel the energetic influence of any major aspects at about 3-5° prior to becoming direct as well as about 2-3° separating.  When direct (exactly at the degree), this will be the time when the aspects’ energies are most intense.  A transit from transiting Mars, the Sun or transiting Uranus will set in motion the interlinking energies of the planets (used to establish correct timing) that are making aspects together.  The progressed Moon can also be used as a timer.

The Sextile aspect is an aspect of opportunity and like the Trine often presents the individual with favourable opportunities, easy flow, pleasant or generally good outcomes, but unlike the Trine (which operates in such a way that little work on the part of the individual involved is required) the Sextile often needs a push or effort from the individual to create results from the opportunity.

Neptune, operating in its positive sense, brings to the forefront artistic abilities, creative potential, the want to help others and for those so inclined, can open the door for greater psychic perception. More insight and intuitive abilities can rise to the surface potentially providing those affected by this aspect with opportunities for advancement with these subjects.

Natal Mars, depending on its position in the birth chart, often produces a driving force and is a motivating factor for achievement.  It can also have something to do with our sex drive and can become aggressive in this pursuit, depending on which sign and the natal aspect configurations affecting Mars.  It can be confrontational, easily aroused and provide us with a push when we need it (and at the most opportune moments).

Neptune Sextile Natal Mars

Neptune and Mars together can provide the push needed to bring forward some of life’s mysteries, create artistic opportunities for advancement and lead to favorable life events because we now have the ability to push ourselves a little harder with few reservations.  The opportunity is in place, but it will be up to the individual involved to make things happen.  Sitting back idle will not help with achieving what may be wanted. It is up to the individual to put in the work required to accomplish goals.

Much will depend on the overall condition of Natal Mars, along with any other transits and progressions in play at the same time.  The houses impacted will define what potential lies ahead and what areas of life are involved.

Do not let the energies of the aspect of Neptune sextile Natal Mars slip away. Put forth effort so that you can reap the rewards of this opportunity involving artistic abilities or the mysteries of life.

URANUS MOVES INTO GEMINI

Uranus temporarily will move into Gemini on July 7, 2025, then back into Taurus on November 8, 2025 and finally move into Gemini for approximately 7 years on April 26, 2026. We thought we would touch on this transit as it will create a more easy flow for Uranus’ energies.

Taurus is stifling the energies of Uranus, (in its fall position which is a placement of general weakness for what the planet represents). 

We have been learning to diversify and not depend on any one thing that brought us security and stability during Uranus’ stay in Taurus. Uranus does not sit well with ingrained structures that do not want to shift, even when a shift is required.  Uranus wants to open doors and awaken us to new possibilities and new beginnings because what has been in place, no longer suits our evolutionary quest.

Taurus is quite content with leaving things as they are.  It seeks security especially in areas concerning earthly achievements.  It moves tentatively, preparing for what might be required in the future as it slowly shifts where it feels shifting is required for the security it seeks. 

Any shift which Uranus would have been trying to implement would take a long time to transpire and would not come easily.  There were concerns about what this change might bring. There would have been concerns as to whether these changes were safe, although the potential for building a solid foundation would have been in the forefront of any change taking place.

Soon, we will begin to feel it shift a couple of degrees prior to Uranus actually moving into Gemini. Our ideology will shift, and we will be more open to dialogue and ready for change. We will be mutable enough to shift without too much interference or worry about what this change might bring.

Gemini is easier going than Taurus, is able to shift where needed, is open to discussion and new dialogue and is adaptable when it comes to new enterprises.  We will be able to move ahead, think in broader terms and evaluate without cause for concern or worrying about the outcome. We will understand that change is required and that anything that is stagnated will no longer serves our purpose for the future. 

As Uranus moves into Gemini, the thought process undergoes change, and we are intrigued. Our thoughts are stimulated by potential and concepts can maneuver their way over hurdles that have been in place. This will result in slow but likely steady growth.  Now, we can use what we have learned and open our minds further into exploration. We will now understand that if we rush into change, it might not work out the way we want it to. 

When Uranus moves into Gemini, we can now harness our optimism, moving along a little slower than what we might want, but with the ability to evaluate all potentials as we begin our exploration into the new and welcoming journey forward.

ASPECTS TO SUN IN ARIES 2025

We posted an article on March 19, 2025 providing information on Sun in Aries. See here www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-aries-2025

Aspects to Sun in Aries 2025

Today we will focus on the aspects to Sun in Aries 2025.

There are currently several planets either already in the sign of Aries or that will be entering this sign shortly.  (This article was written in March of 2025). The Planets involved include Mercury entering Aries on April 15, Venus entered Aries on March 6 (and completes its Aries visit on March 30), Mars enters Aries April 9, Saturn entered Aries on February 14 and Neptune currently moves in and out of Aries/Pisces until it enter Aries permanently in January 2026.  As you can imagine, this is a powerful place where these planets will group and align.

Aries represents an aggressive push for achievement and self-driven motivation.  As the Sun enters Aries, the drive to achieve goals, make personal changes, career advancement or change, financial adjustments, communication techniques, home and occupational directions, development with your children, romance and commitment and deep contemplation are all potentially active areas that may unfold over the next period.  Much depends on the planets involved and the house placements in your personal chart.

Touching on the outer planets Neptune and Saturn will have a profound effect on many Sun in Aries individuals especially with their Sun in the early degrees of Aries (anywhere from 1-10°).  There will be a strong desire to stabilize goals and aspirations and to commit to making personal and professional decisions.  There may, however, be times when you are not quite clear with which direction to focus your attention, and things will, at times, be unclear as to where this will take you in the future (Neptune influence). 

If these aspects are favorably influenced by other significators in the current transits and if the natal potential is also favorable, there can be a degree of inspiration attached to what is unfolding and a movement towards understanding and centralizing mystical interpretations.  Some Ariens with artistic talents, acting or musical abilities, that have these aspects positively placed in their charts, may now find inspiration.  Advancement and achievement may go hand in hand and the push you have been or are currently applying may move you in a direction that over times proves to be quite favorable. 

This whole period with this significant alignment will push the average Arien towards looking out more for themselves, making sure that they are working towards becoming more stable even under current world conditions. 

Once again, the house placement of your Sun will be very important and revealing as time goes by.  The natal positioning of your Sun by aspect as well and the relationship regarding natal Mars will also play significant roles in the upcoming time frame.

Happy solar return to our Arien readers. The aspects to Sun in Aries 2025 are currently many. Expect an aggressive motivation for achievement in whatever your focus may be.
