NEPTUNE RETROGRADES:
On Friday June 21st at 10:36 A.M. EDT until November 27th at 7:33 A.M. EDT this strange and unrealistic planet starts its yearly backward trek. While this is in retrograde you may find yourself daydreaming and slipping into fantasies more readily than usual. Allow these feelings to develop in your unconscious. The internalization of retrograde energy does its best work inside us. This is a time to fine tune and clean up your creative projects. Then once Neptune goes direct you should present them to the public. This will be a time of examination of your spiritual and philosophical beliefs. Because of Neptune’s nature it is often the most difficult of planetary influences to grab hold of or direct. When we are going through a difficult Neptune transit the most common problem I hear from my clients is: “I’m confused and don’t know what direction to take.” While that can be a difficult time, it’s mostly a matter of disassociation. We live in a material world where Saturn has the most sway. We must deal with the day-to-day and take care of our responsibilities and obligations. If you are able to get away from the world of concrete and steel and engulf yourself in nature and meditation this will be an easier transit and one that is highly rewarding. But if you feel that you are swimming against the stream and simply can’t stop fighting the tide, it may be uncomfortable and hard to put into play. Because this lasts for so many months, the most difficult period is usually as it begins and ends its retrograde motion. So for the next few weeks it may be more challenging. Once you are used to the energy it will be easier to work with.
