On the morning of June 28, Neptune begins its retrograde migration, which it will continue until December 3 under its native sign of Pisces. The stars will inspire us all to turn inward at this time to work through any problems or circumstances that have caused us to be confused for a very long time.
According to Lisa Stardust, an astrologer and the creator of The Love Deck, “psychic awareness, emotional sensitivity, and dreams will become more vivid to all of us” during this astrological time. The catch is that we can doubt our instincts and doubt our hunches. Your third eye will indeed be wide open right now, but it might not seem so easy to decipher the messages from the universe.

NEPTUNE
Mathematical calculations based on the planet’s gravitational pull on Uranus’ orbit led to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. It has a greenish hue and bears the name of Poseidon, the Greek deity of the sea known by his Roman name. Neptune is associated with things that are hidden since they were known before they were truly seen.
With a 165-year orbit around the sun, Neptune is located thirty times further from the sun than Earth and spends approximately 14 years in each zodiac sign. Neptune was discovered in 1846, and subsequent advances in the domains that have come to be connected with itsuch as chemistry, medicines, spiritualism, and mystical religionare all related. In this year, Max Mller traveled to India to start his research into comparative religion and mythology. He would subsequently write the Sacred Books of the East.
Neptune, which represents spiritual love, is in an octave with Venus. Its mysticism and creativity have earned it the title of Pisces’s king. Neptune can represent idealistic and non-physical reality, as well as illusions, dreams, and deception. Neptune can also represent sacrifice or loss for a greater goal.
Neptune in the Signs
From 1862 to 1875, Neptune was in Aries, which stimulated innovations in chemistry, narcotics, spiritualism, comparative religion, and/or tendencies toward delusion and self-deception.
From 1875 until 1889, Neptune occupied Taurus, bringing chemistry and pharmaceuticals to food, as well as financial illusions and covert methods of making money.
Between 1889 and 1902, when Neptune was in Gemini, drama was communicated through cinema and the use of media increased.
From 1902 to 1915, Neptune was in the sign of Cancer, bringing with it receptive and sensitive emotions, a daydreaming imagination, intuitive and mystical powers, and idealistic feelings, sympathy, and empathy.
From 1915 until 1929, Neptune was in the lion, the sign of lofty inspiration, refined warmth, spiritual love and generosity, and covert leadership. Prohibition failed to curtail the use of alcohol and illicit narcotics because radio and silent movies left much to the imagination.
Since 1928 to 1943, Neptune has been in the sign of Virgo, where it is unfavorably influencing analysis of spiritual and psychic studies, the use of medications for healing, faith healing, and a mystical search for purity. Many people had to look for new employment after losing their jobs.
From 1942 through 1956, Neptune was in Libra, bringing a spiritual love of relationships, justice, and beauty. The “love children” of this generation, who found harmony in drugs and music, are poetic, artistic, and musical, idealistic about justice and harmony, and they have refined their emotions and esthetic sensibility.
From 1956 through 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio, promoting esoteric and mystic inquiry, sexual fantasies, violent drama, more intense emotions, and a quest for spiritual understanding. War had covert objectives, and drugs and sex were intermingled.
From 1970 until 1984, Neptune occupied Sagittarius, encouraging mysticism in philosophy and religion, illusions and trickery in international affairs, and politicians who were concerned about drugs.
From 1984 to 1998, Neptune is in Capricorn, bringing with it aspirations of fame and fortune, practical idealism, manipulation by strong financial forces, mystical traditions, and an effort to rein in the use of illegal drugs while pharmaceutical medications are becoming more and more prevalent.
In 1998, Neptune enters Aquarius, where it will remain for nearly 14 years. During this time, it will promote research, spiritual enlightenment, creative imagination, more drug use in psychology, and additional chemistry and genetic engineering advancements. Mysticism and psychism will spread and become more mainstream.
Neptune will be in the dignified sign of Pisces beginning in 2012 for a period of around 14 years. During this time, it will encourage increased feelings of comradery, devotion to God, and spiritual awareness of all types. Rich imagination and a deeper sense of compassion for the unhappy can emerge.
Neptune in the Houses
The personality is susceptible, delicate, gentle, refined, dreamy, lax, receptive, changing, fanciful, elusive, and perhaps sluggish when Neptune is in the first house.
Neptune in the second house can bestow talents in drama, poetry, and music. One can be a realistic idealist, harbor wealth-related delusions, or give all of their money away to charity.
Speaking and writing with a great degree of imagination, sensitivity, and refinement are encouraged by Neptune in the third house. Expression is typically delicate, dramatic, artistic, and lyrical.
Neptune in the fourth house is perceptive, intuitive, and environmentally conscious. A dreamy home life may involve illusions, deception, mysticism, unspoken rules, or sacrifices.
Neptune is exalted in the fifth house, where it grants imaginative creativity, the capacity for theatrical expression, and mystical love or sacrifices for children and in relationships. Leadership has a greater spiritual component.
Neptune in the sixth house is unfavorable and can indicate loss of employment, spiritual work, deception, and delusions. One might use drugs or chemicals at work or be affected by the surroundings. In order to heal, one may be tempted to use medicines or spiritual practices.
Neptune in the seventh house encourages spiritual connections, but romantic dishonesty must be avoided. In a partnership, one is likely to be idealistic, poetic, and dreamy and may be willing to make compromises.
Neptune stimulates intuition, fantasy, dreams, and psychic powers while it occupies the ninth house. One may have a mystic view of death and be able to communicate with spirits who have passed over.
Neptune in the ninth house makes a person more mystical in their understanding of religion and philosophy, as well as more imaginative and visionary, with a propensity for traveling for enlightenment. One can have clairvoyant abilities or be drawn to mystical ideas.
One becomes more idealistic about society and careers when Neptune is in the tenth house. One may come across inspiring work or be prepared to give up their profession for an ideal.
The eleventh house’s fallen Neptune promotes social idealism, spiritual or dubious friendships, and friend susceptibility. It’s common to have utopian views of others.
The dignity of Neptune in the twelfth house encourages compassion, altruism, reflection, mysticism, and intuitive knowledge. One can feel drawn to devote a lot of time to prayer or meditation in solitude and peace, or engage in social work or rehabilitation.
How frequently retrogrades Neptune?
Neptune moves slowly through the zodiac, staying in each sign for about 14 years. Due to its slow progress, the consequences of the transit could be undetectable at first and only become apparent after some time has passed or when Neptune forms important aspects to the natal chart. As these retrograde cycles typically run between five and six months, Neptune only stations retrograde once per year, spending over half of the year there.
What does it indicate in your chart if Neptune is retrograde?
Pisces, you will be impacted more than others because Neptune is your ruling planet and this retrograde is in your sign. Use this opportunity to reject self-limiting ideas, failing relationships, and any negative inner voice that tells you that you don’t deserve what you want.
When did Neptune last transit Pisces?
Neptune was one of the first celestial bodies to be found by telescope in 1846, despite being 2.865 billion miles from Earth. It’s interesting to note that despite Neptune being invisible to the human eye in the early 1600s, there is some evidence to imply that Galileo himself was able to observe it. On two exceptional days in December 1612 and January 1613, Galileo saw that Jupiter appeared to shine a little bit brighter. Galileo mistook the light for a star, but it was later discovered that he had really seen the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. Oh, yeah.
Neptune is named after the sea god Poseidon in Greek mythology, and as a result, is often compared to the enchanted, enigmatic expanse of the spiritual unknown. Neptune is the planet in astrology that rules the unconscious, dreams, creativity, entertainment, and psychic abilities.
Neptune travels through the zodiac every 165 years, spending 14 years in each of the 12 signs, according to its extremely long orbit. Neptune moved into the sign of Pisces in 2011 and will linger there until 2026.
What zodiac signs will be impacted by the 2022 Mercury retrograde?
When you believe you have everything under control and your troubles solved, Mercury retrograde seems to mix things up. There’s always a problem lurking around the corner when it comes to astrology, and nothing illustrates this more than when Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, starts to move backward through the zodiac rather than ahead. Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, and Sagittarius are the zodiac signs that will be most impacted by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022, so you *might* want to get ready for some technical issues soon.
Mercury usually stirs up temporary turbulence and commotion when it stations retrograde. This retrograde, which occurs three to four times a year, is nothing new to you because you’ve already encountered it numerous times. In other words, there is no need to be concerned; the world will not end, and you will survive it unharmed. Although miscommunications and misunderstandings frequently occur when Mercury is retrograde, it is also a lovely time to reflect on your life, look back on previous endeavors, and take care of any unfinished business.
Mercury retrograde this spring starts on May 10 at 4 degrees Gemini, going backwards. Mercury rules this mutable air sign, so this will be a typical retrograde experience marked by confusion and diversion. Think carefully before you speak, especially if you’re twisting the truth. On May 22, Mercury will reenter Taurus, slowing down the intensity of this retrograde and making it more frustrating for Mercury, who already finds it difficult to move through this rigid fixed earth sign. Fortunately, everything will finish on June 3 just as swiftly as it began.
