Neptune Retrograde in Pisces

 

Neptune retrograde 2017 starts on 16 June 2017 at 16° Pisces and ends on 22 November 2017 at 11° Pisces. Neptune retrograde 2017 aligns closely with the Moon to make this an especially sensitive time. As well as feeling more emotional and romantic, you may also feel suspicious of others and extremely vulnerable.  Dreams could surface as Neptune’s backward motion breaks the spell to reveal where idealism may have clouded our judgement. When Neptune turns retrograde, our feelings are more astute at picking up and perceiving the illusive. There may be some sorrow at the dissipation of fond wishes, but the Moon’s sextile to Pluto makes us strong enough to release what isn’t working. 

The destruction of your fantasy world will show those harsh realities you sought to avoid at some stage in the past. Maybe you have kidded yourself about true love, your financial situation or your career prospects. This period is excellent for using and cultivating your psychic perceptions. 

This Neptune transit is a great time to go on retreat because during a Neptune transit what you are supposed to do is dream.  Dream deliberately.  Dream consciously.  There never was a better time for clarifying your vision and seeking the spiritual/metaphysical meaning behind the tangible things in your life than during a Neptune transit.  There’s also no worse time for acting on it.  So get out of the world and into your imagination.  Allow your mind to open and your intuition to expand.  Ask yourself the really big questions:  “Why do I do it all?  What do I really want?  Why am I here?  Why is my life the way it is?”  Then imagine something better.  There’s no need to do anything about it right now.  Just relax and dream.
