Neptune is now in your image and profile zone. Aries, let’s start with what’s good about this cycle! You will not want a normal, ordinary or average profile in these next few weeks of April. Particularly, in relation to your online self or alter ego. There is an escape there now as the potential for something and completely out of the ordinary regarding yourself is there. You just want to skip the foolish blindness part of the cycle, that’s all. Muddled mucking around with photographs of yourself, for example. Or having an online false identity which befuddles you. Let me run that past you again. Foolish blindness. It’s the kind of glazed vision that so successfully blots out the real world that you don’t even know you’ve got a reality issue. Aries, it’s vital that you ask objective outsiders for their opinion. Despite the fact that some of what you hear will not fit the marvellous escape you are creating, these sharp little reality checks are sent to help get you on track.

With Neptune in your sector of psychics, vicars, priests, rabbis, monks, counsellors, psychologists, mediums, hypnotists and so on, you may want to look at the ultimate results of this relationship. Together, you could cause confusion, transgress all sorts of boundaries and slip into all kinds of places you were never meant to go. Do ask your most objective and sensible friend to rate the effects.
Neptune is in Aries in your Twelfth House of solitude and the inner life. Your soul, spirit and psychology. Your solitary self must carry some relationship to the real world. Your real self (if you are going to see a possible future mess avoided) as anything which scrambles other people’s space and lives as well as your own and won’t go away by itself.

You’ll make some important new friends in April and reboot old friendships. Yet there will be nothing particularly real about the friendship. Neptune is in Aries in your Eleventh House of groups and friends. It’s almost written by Waugh or Tolkien. Nevertheless, your friendship will inspire and entertain all those who appreciate escapism. Gemini, without your example to follow, other people would find life rather too ordinary. For the years that this cycle is in effect, the friendship can seem like the stuff of myth, film, novels or legend. It is, in fact, a submarine voyage on a Sixties level. Friendships can be on social media or not, but the loss of self and identity can also happen to your friend – the boundaries dissolve. Work out what this is doing to their life and yours.

You know Neptune is in your zone of employers, staff, colleagues, lecturers, classmates and fellow travellers (if your work is unpaid). So, try to be realistic and see the situation clearly. Is this connection actually adding to both your lives or creating flotsam and jetsam? Drugs and alcohol can cause problems with your reality function and your workplace structure now. If the professional, vocational or academic relationship depends on getting drunk or doing a lot of dope/cocaine/ecstasy, then be aware. Your ability to function in the real world is impaired enough already in this cycle without any more confusion. Substance abuse from them or you will affect judgement.
You will also be involved with the ebb and flow of tides with online work connections, of course. It may be a loose, informal network (like a shared business with attached friends) or something more formal like trade union or business circle. The same issues will arise. Nip it in the bud, Gemini. Put up a sea wall or reinforce that cliff.

Groups and friends can take you on a unique tour from the final week of April. Perhaps May – July 2026 is already inviting new plans. They can supply you with the freedom you long for. The circle of people or the allies may even be part of a revolution that delivers independence. The possibilities are endless, but the rule is the same. People or situations which represent a complete break with the past are coming. The more these people or situations offer you the chance to shed some restrictions, the more involved you will be. Uranus in Gemini in your solar Eleventh House will be even more dramatic if you have factors in Aquarius in your birth chart, Leo. In that case, late April is a transformation waiting to happen. Take a deep breath and clear a space.

Perhaps, July or August 2026 are already in your diary for the biggest and best solo cycle in 12 years. You stand to gain from that point until mid-2027 from expanding the opportunities within. We’re talking about your spirit here or your psychology or psychic side. Meditation, diaries, candles, incense, dreams, religion, spirituality, retreats, therapy, counselling or hypnosis. The possibilities are many.
The golden rule with any new Jupiter cycle is to look at your situation as if you were completely outside it – as if you were to try to intelligently judge what your hush-hush secret life could be achieving. It may be healing. Your aura or chakras. God or Buddha. It’s an intensely personal process, but it is hinted at now, Virgo. By August, you will have found one opportunity irresistible. This is also the cycle if you need to be alone to find yourself or find the bigger picture when destiny can step in and help that to happen.

You’ve got your angles on your other half now or the other side. But you need other angles too. These should preferably come from people you trust and respect, not necessarily people who are going to tell you what the biggest escape from reality is. The point at which your life invites confusion over what is real here (and what is not real) is the point at which you must put in a few boundaries. Your other half may be personal (your husband), professional (your business partner) or platonic (you share a home but nothing else). The other side may be legally pitted against you or just against you full stop.
You have a multiple Aries cycle in April which is unusual and will draw on your most famous quality – your sense of fairness and balance with one other. How will you change the game with him or her now? You have quite a few choices. It may feel like tennis. “That was then, this is now” you can tell the world in May as you set about pursuing a life which finally gives you a chance to draw on those inner qualities which were never even hinted at in the game you were playing before. It’s the two of you or one against one.

You can ‘win’ in your life now with the family or household but also find that you are far better off finding a way to somehow share the power in the space. Share the controls. It’s all very new and has only really come about since Pluto changed signs at the end of 2024. At the point of your greatest power and influence, you may decide to change the game you’re playing to make sure that the reins are evenly distributed. Scorpio, this may well be the only move that satisfies your soul. If so, why not?
Yet, this is a long-haul cycle, and it may not be until you reach July and August 2026 when the Sun in Leo is opposite Pluto and the light is shed that you can see the situation with a relative, live-in partner, roommate or flatmate with full clarity.

Here’s another option to use with Pluto (power) in your Third House of internet, media and communication. If you wake up and find yourself with the controls in life, use them to navigate two simultaneous journeys. One can be yours, the other can be theirs. One can reflect who you really are and what you’re really made of (especially online) and the other can fit those rules that you’ve been playing by so well since late 2024. This can lead to a complicated life, but it can also give you real power. It means you’ll work with your soul and your email signature or social media profile. This applies, no matter if you are openly yourself online or clandestine. As with all your use of words, ideas and images now, self-control gives you far more control.
Premium? Go on.
After Jupiter changes signs in July 2026, you can do extremely well in the money, property and lifestyle game in these next 12 months and also experience more control and empowerment through your own code of values. Rich or poor, capitalist or socialist, shopaholic or environmentalist – unless you dig deeper and find out what and who you value most and what is really priceless, you’ll never have the full rich potential of this historic Jupiter in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius transit. Perhaps, you already know who or what is in store for you in July and August when this begins. Other people’s values will influence your life then too. Their idea of what (or who) is most bankable will find you debating with them or yourself.
Premium? Go on.
Pluto in Aquarius is about slowly developing quite a lot of power, clout and influence by focussing on your image, appearance, name, title, reputation and packaging. It may involve relaunching yourself along the way, no matter if this is your title or name. Or your wardrobe. Thus, giving your power away because you’re ‘making it’ in the image stakes on others’ terms is not acceptable. These might seem like rather shallow rules which make it impossible to trade on the real you – your soul, your spirit, your inner contradictions, your secret complexities and your hidden assets. However, you can take your time as you adjust the way you appear to fit the person you actually are. Never hang onto an image game you are losing now. It’s not one you ever need to win. In fact, willpower will empower you when it comes to ‘Me.’
Premium? Go on.
If you want lasting power now, you need to find the qualities deep inside yourself which are worth far more (to yourself and the world) than the rather superficial stuff you’ve been dabbling in before 2025 came around. This means an inward search for what’s genuinely valuable. It may involve a psychic or psychologist. Dream interpretation. Hypnosis. Counselling. Self-help. Solitude! The bits and pieces of yourself which may have been suppressed or ignored now require attention. The subconscious is a storehouse when Pluto transits your Twelfth House. It’s where your buried treasure is. Once you uncover it, you will be in a great position to know yourself, set your terms and recreate your inner world using the willpower that empowers.
