*Saturn Conjunct Neptune (0 deg Aries)
A major chapter begins as certain realities fade and certain fantasies become real.
I wrote a detailed post on this conjunction a few years ago (available in the Saturn/Neptune in Aries collection at the top of my Patreon page).
A brief excerpt:
"Neptune in Aries can be violent new beliefs or passionate illusions. Compassion can be reborn or fanatical delusions can take hold...
But the other side of this coin is the potential to focus (Saturn) on new beliefs, healing or creativity and bring something previously invisible into being. Any sacrifice that occurs should immediately open the door to something new and vital..."
You're building something and it's in the first degree of the first sign - the newborn dream. You'll have to play by new rules. However, Neptune will expand everything that falls within those rules, so you'll have more to work with. Having said this, if it's not meant to be born, it will quickly fade or you'll run into obstacles that shut it down.
To make the most of this, maintain your discipline and maturity. Stay focused on your goals and know this is a long-haul influence - you'll see rewards, but not immediately. Due to Saturn's rulership over timing and mortality, watch for a sense of "the work must happen now." It's not something you can put off although you also can't rush it.
Passion is tempered - this is a new kind of fire.
