Occuring between two eclipses (March 14 and 29), we have an exceptionally assertive and dynamic Spring Equinox chart with a 5-planet conjunction (stellium), including a tight Sun-Neptune conjunction as Neptune enters Aries on March 30. By July, we'll be moving into the more definite 5-year part of the optimistic 10-year phase in the 20-year
Jupiter-Saturn cycle. Optimistic does not necessarily mean peaceful.
It can signal a gung-ho conquest energy as well as cooperative,
peace-building trends, as the Neptune, Pluto, Uranus minor grand trine (or Uranus, Neptune, Pluto 2025 to 2028 – Magic Triangle ) moves into it's beneficial influence over the next few years. The Spring chart has three remarkable inter-connected Minor Grand Trines (which means that the potentials require work to be actualized). Simply put, the center is the still loose Magic Triangle with well-placed Moon and Mars aspects that energizes it to give a strong glimpse of the more stable, tighter 2026 aspect patterns. The dynamic energy continues into the next month as, just after the Mar 29 – Solar Eclipse, we have the initial instability and confusion of the major transition of Neptune in Aries, bringing a heroic idealistic drive, and Saturn sextile Uranus (1 of 3), on April 4, which should provide some balance and stability. Friday, March 28, marks the strongest point of the Stellium, with 7 planets closely conjuncted.
According to Cerena Childress:
Pluto shifted into Aquarius, March 2023 and is established at 3° AQ at the time of Neptune’s sign change. Now that he is safely functioning in his new sign, 4 more outer planets also make sign changes in 2025 during only 100 Days! Since Pluto is only at 3°, they will all soon be aspecting him at once! Neptune, Pluto’s spiritual companion, has been in sextile connection with Pluto continuously since 1942, 82 years!
- Mar 30 Neptune, on its 168 year cycle, arrives in Aries, stays through March 2039!
- May 24 Saturn goes into Aries too, a 29 year change, 2¼ to 2½ year stay! This makes THREE outer planets in Aries, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron!
- June 09 Jupiter goes home into Cancer. Travels a Sign per year.
- July 07 Uranus zips out of Taurus into Gemini, on an 84 year cycle, a 7 year sign shift.
Sun, Venus, Neptune, Mercury, Saturn Stellium
This pattern brings strong empathy, identifying with others, occult intuitions, meditative, impulse to realize dreams, tendency for escapism, confusion. Other aspects bring facility for planning, communicating assertively, sharp intellect, joy, humour, charm, artistic inspiration, compassion. Difficult tendencies include, overly cautious, detached, confused, deceived, separations. A proactive pattern that brings independent impulses for new ventures. A certain sense of organization, realism, and steadiness can help keep the enthusiasms stabilized.
Neptune stellium, Uranus, Pluto Minor Grand Trine
This very special pattern brings possibilities for new beginnings, social change, based on deep insights in a spirit of idealism, spiritual awakening, expanding consciousness. Projects of social reform, constructive change, healing, realizing potential. Abilities for alert, perceptive, creative, problem solving, including group issues are favored. Strong leadership in practical and inventive social innovations are favoured.
Brings a sense of deep positive feeling, great sensitivity, strong feeling of sympathy and compassion. It also bring a capacity for sympathetic listening, expressing feelings and sentimental moods.

Uranus, Neptune Stellium, Mars Minor Grand Trine
This brings feelings of restlessness and impatience, with an insight into new ideas and the practical ability to apply them in one's life. It also brings an impetus to help others, with social or charity work, for example, with a concern for family safety and protection. It can be a good time to complete projects in course and tie up loose ends.
Jupiter
square Saturn wide aspect can brings tensions between optimism and realism, inflation and depression, pessimistic feelings
This looks to be the most positive season of the year, a foreshadowing of next year's exceptional positive alignments. With a powerful focus on the first degree of Aries, Spring begins with lots of positive energy.
We have a trio of harmoniously inter-connected minor grand trines that signal a deep, introspective, intuitive, innovative, spiritual change with a practical drive to realize your dreams in a sociable, insightful, articulate, friendly, creative atmosphere. There will be tensions based on a need for independence and insecurities, as well as the Jupiter-Saturn square, ending the first quarter of the 20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle, that creates tensions between optimism and pessimism, depression and over-confidence as the first of the cycle adjusts to move into the next five-year phase, the most positive of the 20-year cycle.
As of April 1, two volatile aspects, Mars opposite Pluto (Apr 26 orb April 1- May 20) and Mars square Uranus Jun 15, orb May 20-July 10) will provide some dynamic tensions that underscore the general instability of this year, as the powerful planetary shifts gradually fall into place by 2026. With Mercury retrograde, (March 14 to April 6), and Venus retrograde, (March 1st to April 12th), in the chart, things can be rather unfocused and disorganized, with old relationships issues coming to the fore, creating some awkward feelings.
Prognostic
This very powerful Spring chart signals
a deep sense of introspective, intuitive, innovative, spiritual change with a
practical drive to realize your dreams in a sociable, insightful,
articulate, friendly, creative atmosphere.
However, as this dynamic energy prefigures the energy of powerful planetary changes and paradigm shifts, there can be expected moments of volatility, uncertainty, and confusion, with insecurities based on needs for freedom and independence, bringing dramatic conflicts and accidents. There can also be times of dreamy, scattered, deluded moments of exaggerated optimistic enthusiasms. There are also possibilities of communication mishaps and old relationship issues re-surfacing.
