When Neptune, the planet of illusions, deceptions and dreams goes retrograde it makes profound impacts on our life here on planet earth. It is a wake-up call for all of us to start making changes in our lives. This retrograde period brings about some startling truths to the fore.
On the negative side it increases one’s addictive and self-destructive behaviors. We might be made to fall into bad relationships and social circles and deceptive finances. Any sort of logical reasoning would be thrown to the wind. But then on the positive side, it raises the curtains to some deep-hidden truths. It broadens your vision and makes you more creative. This is a period that empowers us to do some tough tasks. You would be creative and the fog around us lifts up. Our worries and anxieties vanish and we would be able to see ourselves in a new light.
As Neptune retrogrades, you start to look out for bad things that are holding you up. You stop day-dreaming and enter into practical action. You now have a clear idea of what reality and what fantasy are. You would be clearly focused on your future plans. You would find out what really means and is needed for you. This would be a phase of self-improvement. You would be easily able to detach yourself from the vagaries of this earthly life.
Being the planet of spirituality and mysticism, Neptune retrograde brings about a major change in our spirituality and our spiritual outlook. It also asks us to question established spiritual norms and beliefs that it would be a tough time for us to fit into existing religious ideas and forms.
