On February 7th, 2025, the North Node and Neptune align at 28° Pisces.
The influence of this transit is already palpable, as the North Node and Neptune are less than 2 degrees apart.
Meanwhile, Saturn, currently at 16° Pisces, is steadily progressing through the second segment of the sign. This means the North Node-Neptune alignment also carries the influence of Saturn, creating a combined North Node-Neptune-Saturn dynamic.
Let’s break this transit down:
The North Node – together with the South Node – are karmic influences and repeated patterns we carry forward.
Nodal transits like this one come with the opportunity to release ourselves from karmic patterns (South Node) and alter our karma/create new storylines (North Node) by stepping into uncharted territory.
And then we have Neptune and Saturn. Neptune and Saturn couldn’t be more different. Neptune is the intangible, Saturn is the tangible. Neptune is the magic, Saturn is the reality.
If we combine Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, we get magic realism, which is actually the name of a literary style that blends mythical elements with everyday life.
Magical realism blurs the lines between reality and myth; the magic feels real, and reality feels magic.
Recent advances in quantum physics suggest that reality is influenced by the observer. Consciousness and perception actively shape the material world, blurring the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible.
So magic realism might be more than just a literary style – it might actually be how the universe operates on a deeper level.
North Node, Neptune, Saturn and Pisces – 100 Years Of Solitude
Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s literary style, magical realism, is immortalized in his masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude.
A Pisces stellium himself, Marquez captured the Piscean essence of infinite possibilities alongside the feeling of solitude and confinement – a sense of inescapable cycles and repetitions we often experience during transits in the last sign of the zodiac.
Set in a mythical Latin America, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a non-linear narrative where past, present, and future are interconnected. In the Piscean/Neptunian realm, time is nonlinear because imagination is not bound by matter.
With Neptune, we can imagine being on the top of a mountain while sitting on our living room couch. We can travel to the past, revisiting memories, or project ourselves into the future.
The novel One Hundred Years of Solitude follows the Buendia family over 100 years, delving into repeated mistakes, struggles, and the inevitability of certain patterns.
One Hundred Years of Solitude can be the story of any family – a metaphor for the cycles of human history, with its eternal loop of repetitions.
The initial protagonists, Jose Arcadio and Ursula, flee their village after an unresolved conflict, only to find that what they ran away from continues to follow them. This reflects the novel’s broader theme: history cannot simply be left behind – it will resurface in cyclical ways.
What’s left unfinished never disappears; it just dissolves into the vast Pisces/Neptune ocean, waiting to resurface.
The fundamental principle of life is that energy cannot be destroyed. Whenever we avoid addressing something, we just prolong the inevitable.
The unacknowledged energy lingers in that in-between, atemporal Piscean state – the further it is from our awareness, the more power it holds over us, and the more fated it feels.
Yet, the only reason it feels fated and out of control is precisely because it has not been acknowledged or understood.
When we look across generations – over a long enough timeline and with access to sufficient information – we begin to see recurring themes, where they originate, and why certain patterns keep repeating.
Pisces speaks to the inevitability of these cycles, but it also offers a path to liberation: by understanding the nature of cycles and placing them in a broader context, we can free ourselves from their hold.
What is understood and integrated no longer has power over us.
Neptune And Pisces – A Distant Dream
Everything that is Piscean/Neptunian in nature feels like a distant dream – impossible to immortalize, impossible to put into form.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was not keen to have an adaptation of his novel, because he worried that its essence would be lost, and believed that it could not be effectively translated to film or TV.
Yet, Netflix recently took on the challenge (and it’s no coincidence this aligns with Saturn/Neptune in Pisces) to bring the story to the screen, and the Marquez family approved it.
His incredible vision was finally brought to life, with the series being filmed in Colombia and in Spanish, honoring the novel’s roots.
And this is exactly the essence of the Saturn conjunct Neptune – making real (Saturn) what’s otherwise hard to grasp. Materializing Neptune, making it more tangible, more relatable, more accessible.
What exactly does this mean? How will this interplay unfold in our lives?
North Node Conjunct Neptune And Saturn – Making The Vision A Reality
When the North Node conjuncts Neptune and then Saturn, it creates a strong pull (North Node) to bring our visions (Neptune) into reality (Saturn) – to materialize dreams, voice the unspoken, and transform the elusive into tangible form.
The North Node is an obsessive, curious energy. Under this influence, we feel a drive to explore the deeper questions of life. To understand cause and effect. To solve mysteries and seek meaning.
Remember, the North Node is a karmic type of energy that looks at patterns and recurring cycles and wants to understand WHY.
In Pisces, we are talking about the big cycles of life; Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, it has seen it all, and it carries that crone-like wisdom and understanding of the bigger picture.
We are talking about big questions like:
- Why is this happening to me?
- Why do I always choose the same type of partner?
- Why do all the generations of my family keep repeating cycles of financial loss?
… you name it. Whatever is important, whatever holds the key to understanding your karmic patterns, THAT is the question that North Node conjunct Neptune in Pisces will try to answer.
The North Node in Pisces is like a tornado in the ocean, shuffling things around and leaving no corner unturned. Why did this happen? Where did it originate? What does it mean?
North Node and Neptune ask us to uncover what was unseen, look into things we have avoided or ignored, address the ghosts of the past, and explore new ways to heal, grow, and move forward.
With the North Node, Neptune, and Pisces, our approach cannot be conventional. Deep answers can only be found if we are willing to let go of rigid definitions of what’s real and embrace the intangible and the abstract.
This is NOT a time to ask scientists or experts for definitive answers. This is a time to delve into alternative perspectives, and explore intuition, spirituality, and imagination.
With North Node, Neptune and Pisces, you will not get a straightforward yes-or-no answer. You will not get a checklist. You will not get a step-by-step framework like “do this, step 1, step 2”, etc.
Instead, you will get hints. You will notice patterns. You will feel pulled – sometimes inexplicably so – towards something that resonates on a deeper, ineffable level.
North Node Conjunct Neptune – 100 Years Of Possibility
Neptune and Pisces are associated with imagination or things that are not real, often carrying a negative connotation.
However, Neptune and Pisces also rule miracles, serendipities, and the unexplained wonders of life.
We turn to alternative medicine or esoteric practices because when the conventional fails to provide answers, the only option left is to embrace the unconventional.
Neptune also explains the allure of astrology or other esoteric arts. When money, success, recognition – or meditation, therapy, self-improvement, eating well, or whatever the conventional wisdom of our times is – fails to bring us fulfillment, we start looking elsewhere for meaning and answers.
With North Node, Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, this is not a time to follow the beaten path. This is not a time to be conventional.
This is a time to embrace a grand vision – one that seems a bit too far-fetched to be true – but also one you can see eventually materializing into reality.
Saturn and Neptune align in a conjunction just once every 36 years, and their meeting with a Node is an even rarer occurrence.
Whatever seeds you plant now are here to stay – not for a day or two, but for 100 years.
If you were to live for 100 more years, what legacy-defining vision would you set? What choices would you make? What would you go for, knowing that there’s enough time to adjust and fix whatever might go wrong? What dreams would you dare to pursue?
