NEPTUNE - 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 2026 on Tuesday, July 7th, at 6:55 AM EDT ... this retrograde period will go from 4 degrees 25 minutes Aries back to 1 degree 36 minutes Aries - a period of about 158 days ... Neptune was last retrograde from July 4th through December 10th, 2025 !!!
One of the main purposes 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 - in fact many may experience some kind of crisis of faith during this period ... 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 ... inspiration and potential for spiritual growth can be greatly enhanced ... there is also the potential for confusion, disorientation, unfounded fear, disillusionment, and misunderstandings at the beginning until the retrograde energy settles in !!!
Neptune retrograde periods are 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 for each one of us to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if we are simply pursuing a path of illusion, escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year !!!
Neptune is currently in the very early stages of its transit through the sign of Aries ... it began its initial transit through the pioneering, competitive, impulsive, eager, courageous, independent, dynamic and quick sign of Aries in April of 2025 ... per retrograde motion it returned to Pisces for some last minute business in October 2025 ... then it returned to Aries for its complete transit in January 2026 ... this transit will not be complete until March of 2039 ... check to see what house or houses the 30 degrees of Aries fall in your natal chart to get an idea of where in your life Neptune will be working its "magic" !!!
Neptune in Aries is considered to be radical ... it was last in Aries from 1861 through 1875 ... during this period dynamite was invented as well as the machine gun and the typewriter ... the U.S. Civil War took place during this period, the first Women's Suffrage Law was passed and genetics were discovered !!!
During this period there could be many new religious and philosophical concepts born ... there will be strong imagination and creativity produced ... people may become more self-aware or aware of the self ... on the downside there could be false pride and egotism produced as well as people who crave notoriety ... this energy bestows and intuitive sense of self and encourages one to take an active approach towards their spiritual life ... but also there can be instances where one becomes extremely inconsiderate yielding trouble with regulating ones aggression ... sometimes one can be far to weak and other times to reckless which would certainly include the tendency to be heavily influenced by drugs and alcohol !!!
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 December 10th, 2025 !!! ... for everyone, if you have had a natal chart done and know in which house or houses 4 degrees 35 minutes back to 1 degree 36 minutes Aries falls, then you might get an idea in what area of your life the main thrust of this Neptune retrograde energy will be affecting you ... have you been seeking the "ideal" and been looking at things realistically, or have you been looking at life through the proverbial "rose colored glasses" letting illusion mislead you and not effectively dealing with reality ???
Neptune remains retrograde until December 12th ... it is definitely a good time, if you don't already, to start paying careful attention to your dreams as the Universe will undoubtedly be bringing us vital information while we sleep – keep a dream journal close by and USE IT !!! ... you might be amazed at what information the Universe sends to you in your unconscious state ... your dreams are sure to be enhanced with symbolism and information from the Universe resulting in profitable and/or illuminating and enlightening ideas ... after all, it's been said "a dream is a wish your heart makes" !!!
Now it is time for all of us - those in the light as well as those still in the dark - to become aware of one of the most important themes of Neptune in Aries - SPIRITUAL WARRIORS RISE UP !!! ...the question now is what will you choose to do - Open your heart and mind to divine spiritual and creative energy, or allow yourself to fall into the depths of addiction, deception and escapism and simply become "lost in wonderland" ???
