While a lot of the time we don’t think about the tricky energies that can come forth during things like retrogrades, right now we need to be paying close attention to them. Not all of the things that happen in the celestial world are as positive as we would like for them to be.
Neptune will be going retrograde on June 21st and remain retrograde until November 27th. This retrograde will begin in Pisces and still be there by the time November gets here as well. It holds a lot of interesting energies and will be more than enough to knock some of us off our feet. Chances are you will be met with a lot of struggle and tests you do not know how to move forth from. These kinds of energies are going to ground you out and push you backwards.
This planet is one of inspiration, dreams, and confusion so when it is retrograding everything is out of whack. It comes to deceive and guilt us into things we otherwise would never notice/think twice about. Neptune in a lot of ways is a fireball that no one wants to have to experience.
During the time that this planet will be retrograde, you will most likely be looking at things in your life from a much more realistic place. You will become more aware of the things you’re scared of and less willing to really step outside of your comfort zone. Painful things from the past might finally come out and into the light, be prepared.
Astrology King wrote as follows in regards to this interesting transit and its aspects:
Saturn sextile Neptune gives strong faith and self-belief. With patience, you will do things the right way and not take shortcuts. Spiritual wisdom and self-discipline help you sacrifice short-term gratification for long-term success.
You can be optimistic while also understanding your own limitations. This allows you to make your dreams come true with hard work and a sensible, realistic approach.
Jupiter square Neptune can bring disappointments or embarrassments that makes you question yourself and your faith. You may become too optimistic, trusting and generous. Avoid gambling, drugs, gurus, cults and get-rich-quick schemes. Instead, rely on the advice of trusted friends and family.
Thankfully, Saturn sextile Neptune gives a healthy dose of reality that lowers the risk of delusion and deception. It also helps you channel your inspiration and enthusiasm into hard work to manifest your hopes and dreams.
