Retrograde Neptune
These zodiac signs will be born from June 30th. confronted with harsh reality

From 30.6. Neptune will be retrograde for about five months (until 12/6). That only happens every twelve months. The next time will be in 2024 from July 2nd to December 7th.

Retrograde planets: what does that mean?

At the declining Planets are not, as one might think, planets that suddenly change direction, but just an optical phenomenon. When we look at the planets in our solar system from Earth, they appear to be moving backwards at certain times. That is why the planets are then also called “retrograde planets”, although in reality they continue to move forward in their orbit around the sun.

From an astrological point of view, this phenomenon is of great importance. It offers us the opportunity to work on the past and to develop further.

What is the importance of Neptune in astrology?

Neptune is the Ruler Planet of Pisces and a fairly complex planet that has two faces. For one, he embodies sensitivity, charity, spirituality and compassion, on the other hand but also addiction, illusion and deception. He is considered a source of inspiration, but can also ensure that we are wrong and cannot see things clearly. However, when it is declining, reality is fully revealedloud and clear, which can be both positive and negative.

What Does Neptune Retrograde Mean for Zodiac Signs?

Not all zodiac signs are equally influenced by Neptune retrograde. While for some a kind of veil is lifted, others hardly notice any change. The water signs in particular notice the retrogression of the blue planet very intensively – i.e. Pisces, crabs, scorpions. They are often very delicate, sensitive, dreamy and experience their emotions particularly strongly, but at the same time they are difficult to see through and unpredictable. They usually trust their intuition in their actions, but can also be erratic and unstable like their element, water. It is not uncommon for them to be overwhelmed and swept away by their feelings, but they also have an incredible depth of soul.

Water signs feel the change clearly

Since Neptune is their ruling planet, are fish of course particularly affected. They are considered very naive, which also reinforces Neptune’s normality. However, during its retrograde period, Pisces also see more clearly. This can be quite painful at first, but it will strengthen you in the end.

crayfish are masters of self-pity and often feel unfairly treated. Neptune retrograde is now helping you to see things as they are and to reflect on whether it’s really the environment that’s causing it, or maybe it’s Cancer itself.

scorpions are great artists when it comes to creating a story. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always correspond to the truth. This is where Neptune retrograde comes into play, showing the sign very clearly where the tilt really is. Unpleasant, but also important here in the end, for your own further development.

Retrograde Neptune: Courage is needed now

Facing the harsh reality is a particular challenge for these signs. They would much rather continue to live in their daydreams than become aware of the illusions and grow from the truth. But Neptune retrograde now offers an opportunity to break our typical patterns, to listen to our intuition and, above all, a chance to get to know each other better by becoming aware of our weaknesses. This can sometimes be exhausting, uncomfortable and upsetting, because Neptune demands one thing above all: courage. Courage to face reality, but also all those things that we prefer to put aside instead of looking closely.
