These signs had the most challenging relationship with Neptune in Pisces since it added a layer of confusion to the more important areas of their lives such as relationships, career and home.
In the sign of Pisces, Neptune was at home and thriving, which raised the intensity for everyone. However, with Saturn also in Pisces over the last several years, it's been a defining few years that made it harder for these signs to avoid their goals and motivations. Now that Neptune is entering Aries on January 26, these signs begin to feel a lot more in control and prepared to turn the page.
Neptune and Saturn together in Pisces brought fundamental insights into boundaries. Now, Neptune in Aries begins a new course for these astrological signs on building confidence, becoming more determined, and being hopeful for the future through practical planning without so much nebulous energy surrounding them.
