NEPTUNE RETROGRADE IN ARIES
Neptune, the planet known for heightening intuition and passions, will be retrograde from July 7 (the day of the whimsical 7/7 portal that brings wisdom and luck) to December 12 (the day of the 12/12 portal that offers new beginnings) in Aries. At this time, we will reassess our visions to ensure they evolve with us. Over the next five months, we will face indecision and uncertainty as we charge forward.
Being that Neptune retrograde can bring out a lot of hidden emotions out in the open, we may feel as though we can cut through matters concisely and see the truth. Keep in mind that Neptune's fog prevents us from understanding situations from far away unless we get close to them. Therefore, the retrograde insists that we focus on the minute details and analyze every matter to comprehend the real situation at hand.
Having patience will be hard. We aren't willing to wait to find out the information because we want it ASAP. To calm our emotions, we will have to find a quiet space to listen to music or meditate to heal ourselves. Another option is to take a relaxing bath or swim in the sea, as Neptune loves watery elements and places — this helps mend Neptune's mind and heart. Plus, it is the best way to escape one’s day-to-day problems and to forget about our worries during the Neptunian haze.
The advice to work with this retrograde energy is to strengthen your auric by turning away from negative forces and to not fall back into old patterns. If something doesn't align with your energy, then walk away from it. Knowing that we have the power to enhance our lives and care for ourselves is key because we are the ones who know what's best and should listen to our gut. The greatest lies are the ones we tell ourselves, which is why being honest with our needs and wants is vital. This is a moment of understanding, so do not gaslight yourself and try to be real.
All in all, this isn't a bad transit; most of us have Neptune retrograde in our birth charts or were born during the pre- and post-shadow period. To fly high, the sage words are never to ignore the dream that persists within your spirit. Being at peace with the universe means being at peace with oneself. The next five months offer us a momentary respite to love ourselves and our individual desires unconditionally, so focus on caring for yourself.
