This conjunction means that you, who are interested in mystical subjects, will get a big boon since your intuition (Neptune) will become practical and applicable (Saturn) and translate into action in your life (Aries).
Astrology and time measurement evolved together, creating a celestial calendar divided into four seasons, each with three months. Ancient astrologers viewed the spring equinox — around March 20 — as the most sacred and significant day of the year, symbolizing renewal, growth, and hope. Spring's arrival was more than symbolic; it brought real hope to farmers who had endured the harshness of winter. The first nourishing crop, barley, arrived just in time for the spring equinox celebrations. These celebrations evolved into myths, and those myths transformed into the religious festivals we recognize today.
Among the oldest celebrations linked directly to the spring equinox is Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Passover, another ancient festival, tells the powerful story of liberation from the bonds of winter into the abundant promised land of spring. Even Easter, spring’s beloved holiday, has deep astrological roots, celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the equinox. Easter symbolizes resurrection and rebirth, mirroring nature’s beautiful renewal each spring.
This spring's monumental Neptune-Saturn alignment marks a turning point in our lives and the world as a whole, with each zodiac sign experiencing this activation in a specific area of life:
Aries: Identity & self-expression

Taurus: Spirituality & subconscious

Deep inner work is calling you, Taurus. Neptune in your house of the hidden will awaken your spiritual side, heighten intuition, and dissolve outdated fears. This is a time of karmic endings, dream revelations, and spiritual breakthroughs. However, avoid escapism and stay grounded in reality.
Gemini: Community & goals

Your friendships and long-term dreams are shifting. Some alliances may dissolve while new, spiritually aligned connections emerge. You may feel drawn to humanitarian efforts, mysticism, or visionary projects, but be cautious of false ideals or deceptive social circles.

Your thinking, speaking, and perception are becoming more intuitive, but also more prone to confusion or deception. Spiritual writing, poetry, and artistic expression are enhanced but be wary of miscommunications, misinformation, or unclear contracts.
Pisces: Money & self-worth

Neptune in Aries is reshaping your relationship with money, security, and self-value. You may feel drawn to spiritual or artistic careers, but financial instability is a risk. Set firm boundaries in financial matters and avoid get-rich-quick schemes.
So, this spring, celebrate Passover or Easter with new eyes, recognizing the powerful astrological and cosmic influences at play.
Remember: we are made of stardust, forged in the hearts of ancient stars. When our journey ends, we will return to that same cosmic dust, forever connected to the universe and its infinite mysteries.
