About Neptune’s Retrograde
This celestial event will impact our spiritual growth, emotional depth and spiritual connections. Neptune represents the vast ocean of the unconscious mind. When Neptune goes Retrograde, its influence takes on a more introspective and reflective nature.
The veil between the conscious and unconscious realms is thinner during this Retrograde. This provides us with an opportunity to explore the depth of our subconscious mind, revealing hidden patterns, unresolved emotions and unhealed wounds. It beckons us to confront our fears and release emotional baggage.
As the haze settles in, we might feel as if we don’t know which direction to take. We can get lost in the fog and in our emotions. We can feel left stagnant in the present and unsure of the future due to unfounded fears. This transit can cause some confusion for everyone.
Neptune’s Retrograde can expose illusions or fantasies that we’ve clung to and encourage a more clear view. It shines a light on the areas of our lives that we might be avoiding the truth, either consciously or unconsciously. We can confront our fears, face the shadows within, and strive for emotional healing and self-awareness.
We have time to reflect, which will help us in making moves toward what we truly want when the time is right. If we sit with ourselves, it can help to analyze dreams, explore fantasies and unravel the symbolic language of the subconscious. When we immerse ourselves in our inner thoughts, this Neptune Retrograde will assist us in graining a better understanding of our aspirations, fantasies and hopes.
Neptune’s Retrograde in Pisces heightens our capacity for empathy and compassion. Seek to understand the emotions and experiences of others. Acts of kindness, actively listening to others and cultivating understanding and forgiveness in your relationships. Extend compassion to others and yourself as you navigate emotional and spiritual growth! By embracing these qualities, we can contribute to healing and the unity of the collective consciousness.
We are more emotionally fragile, which can mean we have doubt and instability. Reacting emotionally can cause us to stray and spiral. Honor your emotions by understanding them, what they really are, and where they came from.
We can use this Retrograde period to question and challenge outdated perspectives, then allow for personal growth and expanded awareness. By questioning our belief system, societal conditioning and self-imposed limitations we can gain a deeper understanding of our authentic self and cultivate a more compassionate and inclusive world view.
If we choose to embrace transformative energy, we can embark on a powerful journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. This transit can be difficult for those who are not willing to embrace their more mystical side or their shadow side.

This is a wonderful time for shadow work. Shadow Work allows us to explore aspects that we have repressed, denied or deemed unacceptable. The shadow is the unconscious parts of our personality that contain repressed emotions, desires, fears and beliefs. By acknowledging and accepting our shadow, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, heal unresolved wounds and foster personal growth and transformation. Shadow work can be very challenging, but the benefits are wonderful.
Remember that no spiritual practices replace professional help, and if you are not ready to do these things on your own, seek counseling. There is much to be admired in knowing when you need help.
