Neptune - the planet of the spiritual, universal, ethereal, mysterious, mystical, enlightenment, psychic, delusional, imagination, escape, surrender, sacrifice, artistic inspiration, musical ability, glamour, fantasy, romantic love, dissolving, uplifting, confusing, consoling, undermining, drugs and alcohol - began its retrograde journey for 2011 early this morning, June 3rd, at 3:28 AM EDT ....
One of the main energies of Neptune retrograde is to not just have blind faith ... be it personal spiritual quests or the "collective" quest of society, Neptune retrograde energy means a reexamination of hopes and beliefs ... we may all need to individually question and test all aspects of faith ... we begin to question and develop objectivity in regards to the intangibles of life such as truth, fear, hope and inspiration ... when Neptune is retrograde it is closest to the Earth making its function even more intensified ... artists, musicians, poets and those who are leading a highly spiritual life may especially feel the energy of a Neptune retrograde and be truly inspired ... during a Neptune retrograde if we aren't pursuing a spiritual quest we may become confused, disillusioned or full of illusions ... there is a chance that some may fall into drugs, alcohol or other escapist behaviors ... ideally, this is a time to question the ideas society accepts about faith, fears, truth and understanding ...
Neptune retrograde is a time for everyone to tune into the collective unconscious and realize how our own fears, illusion, confusion or spiritual journey are connected to what is happening with humanity ... this is a time to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if one is simply pursuing a path of escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year ...
Neptune is currently transiting through the sign of Pisces - the sign it naturally rules ... but it only got as far as 1 degree of Pisces just giving us a glimpse of what is to come during its transit through this sign ...
Neptune, by retrogrde motion,will return to the sign of Aquarius, which represents a need for unification through liberation, for last minute business and won't return for approximately 165 years !!! ... while Neptune transited through Aquarius, we've all been put through tests to see exactly what freedom is and to realize that the best way to unify is ultimately to liberate ... this can lead to the ablility to tune into other fellow human beings and to become united as one ... this period has also come to help begin to illuminate those who can see the "Light" and those who cannot ... Neptune in Aquarius sought inspiration through groups, networking, and individuality and can lead one to be quite the humanitarian ... Neptune, which began its transit through Aquarius in January of 1998, will complete its final transit through Aquarius on February 3rd, 2012 ... now isn't that going to be an interesting year indeed with everything else going on !!!
Pisces born, since Neptune is your planetary ruler, this is your yearly time to review and rethink what has been going on in your life since the last Neptune retrograde ended on November 6/7th, 2010 depending on which time zone you live in ... where have you been seeking the "ideal" and where have you looked at things realistically or perhaps through the proverbial "rose colored glasses" ???
If you have had a natal chart done, then you might get an idea what area of life this Neptune retrograde energy will be affecting ... in other words, where have you possibly let illusion mislead you ... or perhaps where are you seeking the "ideal" ...
Neptune remains retrograde until November 9th ... this would be an excellent and possibly extremely rewarding time to keep a dream journal as your dreams are sure to be enhanced with symbolism and information from the Universe resulting in profitable and/or illuminating ideas ... after all, hasn't it been said "a dream is a wish your heart makes" ???
