Neptune Retrograde Begins
Long-standing assumptions begin to show their weak points. Check ideals and promises against the facts before pursuing them further.
In detail
Neptune retrograde begins when its geocentric ecliptic speed changes from positive to negative at a station. The annual phase lasts about five months. Neptune governs imagination, ideals, dissolving boundaries, and spiritual experience, so reversal turns projection inward for examination and makes unrealistic expectations easier to identify. This station deconstructs the image; the direct station resumes outward expression.
FAQ
- What changes during Neptune retrograde?
- Beliefs, ideals, and spiritual experiences that felt vague become easier to examine inwardly, while the urge to chase a new ideal can weaken. Neptune retrograde lasts about five months and occurs once a year; the natal chart changes the focus, so check the facts before deciding what still holds.
- Is Neptune retrograde a good time to pursue a new goal?
- It is better for identifying unrealistic fantasies and reviewing beliefs than for chasing a new ideal, but it does not forbid every goal. During the roughly five-month period, the fog may thin and an old question may become clearer, so list the evidence, commitments, and real conditions first.
