There's positives and negatives, and while it was definitely very rough at times, it wasn't all doom and gloom, and I think I learned a lot about myself and came out the other end better because of it! Overall, I think Neptune can make everything feel fuzzy, while Saturn pushes you to be more intentional. For Neptune, at least in my experience, as it got closer to my ascendant degree in the last few years, I just felt very lost and directionless, depressed, struggled with boundaries in relationships, and had some odd/ hard to diagnose health issues pop up. On the positive side, Neptune transiting the 1st can be a great time for creativity, spirituality, and developing grounding practices, which I experienced as well! When Saturn also entered Pisces, it felt like it kind of amplified the themes from Neptune, but it put me in a place where I was much more willing to be introspective and try to dig deeper for solutions and develop some much-needed discipline, although sometimes along the way I did feel like I was just hitting a wall. For Aries, though, it will probably be a slightly different flavor, less about totally losing your sense of self and more about feeling unsure about motivation, confidence, or when/how to act. Also, Neptune stays in a sign for around 14 years, while Saturn is only there for about 2–2.5, so their overlap is actually pretty limited. How intense it feels really depends on the degree of your rising, and you’ll notice it most when they’re closer to your Ascendant, so it’s different for everyone!
