When a planet appears retrograde, it seems to move backward in the sky from our perspective on Earth. This happens because of the differences in orbital speeds between Earth and the other planets. While it's just an optical illusion, its impact is often deeply felt. Retrogrades encourage inner reflection and reassessment rather than forward motion.
Neptune's retrograde period is particularly significant due to its association with dreams, intuition, mysticism, and illusions. When Neptune goes retrograde in Pisces, this influence becomes even more profound because Neptune rules Pisces. During such times, we can experience heightened sensitivity and a stronger connection to our subconscious mind.
On July 2 at 6:40 AM EDT in 2024, Neptune will begin its retrograde journey through Pisces. This transit invites us to look inward and confront any hidden truths or deceptions we've been ignoring. It can also be a time of spiritual growth as our intuitive abilities are magnified. Emotional healing becomes possible when we're willing to delve into past wounds or unresolved issues.
While some may find this period challenging due to confused boundaries or feelings of being ungrounded, others might see it as a beneficial phase for deep introspection and awakening their creative potential. It's an opportunity to shed illusions that no longer serve us and embrace a clearer vision of reality by tapping into inner wisdom.
