What you should know about Neptune Retrograde
Neptune is stationing retrograde on June 28, 2022, the same day of the Cancer New Moon! Like it has for the last few years and a few more to come, Neptune is retrograding in its home of Pisces, where it’s arguably stronger and more potent.
Unlike the infamous Mercury retrograde, Neptune retrograde happens every year and for about six months out of the year. It goes without saying, you shouldn't treat this in the same way you might treat inner planet retrogrades. You won’t need to wait to launch or start a project, you can still buy a car or sign a contract, and your relationships won’t receive the brunt of this. Neptune will be retrograde until December 3, 2022, so you shouldn’t plan to put your life on hold through this whole cycle!
However, around the days Neptune stations either direct or retrograde, which means it slows down so that it can then move in another direction, things might feel hazier and more confusing. Luckily, this period is short-lived. You might notice that your dreams are becoming more intense and even lucid, as your inner mind is activating as this transit takes place.
What does it mean if you have Neptune retrograde in your chart?
It’s not that rare to have Neptune retrograde in your chart, but it might indicate someone who has a greater spiritual interest and is able to tap into their spiritual gifts and understanding of the unseen at an earlier age. To find out if you have Neptune retrograde, look for the little “R” or “Rx” next to the Neptune glyph in your chart.
What can this period for you?
This cycle is meant to help you reevaluate your connection to source and relationship with spirituality. The clarity you will have over the coming weeks will be unmatched as the planet of the intangible turns on its side to dump out all of the details we might normally miss in the Neptunian haze.
You will have a much greater access to your intuition and subconscious, so it’s the perfect time to start a meditation practice and make it a habit. Receiving spiritual guidance, such as birth chart readings, past life regressions, or hypnosis will be even more potent during this time. You might want to keep a log of all of the things you uncover during this period because the inner work you do between now and December might be more challenging to access between December and next June.
To make the most of this period, devote more time in your daily routine to your spiritual wellness. Neptune wants you to invest in your soul! Let’s work on this together through the lens of your birth chart.
