The End of an Era

Last days of Saturn & Neptune in Pisces

The end of an era is upon us as we close out 2025. Pretty soon both Neptune and Saturn will make their way back into Aries to join at zero degrees in February for their once every 36 year meeting, but not before offering up extended farewells in Pisces.

The purge is real. The endings are palpable. The weight is ready to be lifted, but maybe just because that last part of us that was holding on is simply over it.

This transition marks not only the end of these planets time through Pisces—Saturn since March 2023, Neptune since April 2011–but also their long journey through the entire zodiac which signals the culmination of about 30 years for Saturn and a whopping 164 for Neptune.

I have an old rusted out cast iron skillet I recently restored and the process was a lot like this astrological moment. Having to scrub away decades of built up oils and fats, residue from lifetimes where I may not have even existed.

These last few years of Saturn beginning to meet Neptune in Pisces has been a lot like this. A check in on the cosmic build up in our psyche.

We are sorting through and trying to make sense of what is ours and what is not, realizing that knowing the answer to this question doesn’t make it easier or not ours to work with. So, we just keep surrendering as best we can, rising to the occasion of our life. And it’s exhausting to go through all that. It’s like when you decide to get organized and fall asleep after looking through 2 boxes because you got flooded with memories and your body’s first response is to be horizontal. But the work is here and it has been here since Saturn entered Pisces in March of 2023. But just think of the peaceful exhilaration you get when you wake up and your space is clean.

Saturn is creation, it is matter and all that we consider tangible in this world. Neptune is the divine, it is spirit itself and our collective dreams. When these two come together it is like a resetting of the collective wish and how it will become manifested.

The meeting of Saturn and Neptune this coming February at zero degrees of Aries is like a cosmic gift for us all where we get to press reset on our collective experience. Saturn is creation, it is matter and all that we consider tangible in this world. Neptune is the divine, it is spirit itself and our collective dreams. When these two come together it is like a resetting of the collective wish and how it will become manifested. This energy occurs for each of us in a different area of our birth chart and therefore in a different way in our lives but is felt deeply by us all.

We each bring our uniqueness into the dream and with this conjunction miraculously somehow happening at zero degree of Aries—the literal absolute starting point of the entire zodiac—it is like taking our collective first breath again.

There is a Hindu teaching equating one single exhale of Vishnu to the creation of universes. There is something about this alignment that beckons me to ask if we are not all being reminded of that same breath that lives within us and how we too are gifted with creation. If it is all just beginning again, what now?

What do you do now that you know you’ve only just arrived here?

Our next two new moons, a new moon in Sagittarius on Dec 19 and a new moon in Capricorn on Jan 18, will be directly speaking for the last time with Saturn and Neptune while they are in Pisces. The Sagittarius new moon is in a square to Saturn and Neptune while the Capricorn new moon will be in a sextile to these two. The first goodbye square might tug at your heartstrings and keep you lingering, questioning your capacity or strength to walk out the door until that second new moon comes along and suddenly it feels easier to go and you might even be filled with a sense of gratitude for the experience and somehow lighter now.

This is not a message to advocate forcing ourselves to release or purge what is still important to us (even if we wish it were not). In fact, doing that might cause more weight upon our shoulders as we move forward always questioning if we did the right thing. It is more about being honest with who we are right now and what is naturally ready to be integrated, absorbed or enveloped by the love of our own inner light.

And if you’re feeling dragged down by the psychic goop, ask for divine intervention. Your soul can help you clear away what is not necessary to spend another month (or decade) mulling over and making sense of, but you do need to ask and give them permission to do so. We have free will and with that will we can choose to focus solely upon alchemizing the density within ourselves and the world for the rest of our time here on earth or we can widen our experience to include more multidimensionality from this prismatic earth school and ask for help from the divine beings of unconditional love that are here to support us through this very short lifetime we are so blessed to experience.

It is my wish that more of us get to see just how wide and vast the journey can take us, no matter how long we’ve spent traipsing through the swamps or how many times we find it important to return to them, hopefully carrying the knowledge that there is more. There is always more.

May your endings be joyous and vitality restored by a willingness to awaken into your own version of a fresh start.

Blessed end of 2025!
