Neptune is regarded as one of astrology’s most elusive planets and is linked to fantasies, love, trickery, glitz, and illusion. It fosters creativity, which results in amazing works of music and art, but it also contributes to problems with delusion and lying. It can be compared to going through a dense fog without knowing what hazards or opportunities are ahead when governing the realms of all things hidden. Our understanding of reality is altered while this planet is in retrograde because we must deal with both fantasy and illusion.

What impact has Neptune on us?
The planet of inspiration is Neptune. Neptune, Venus’ higher octave, elevates beauty to a deeper, more spiritual dimension. It also controls everything mystical and entrancing, including dreams, the subconscious, illusions, and imaginations.
Neptune sharpens intuition and teaches us to have a strong sense of compassion. Neptune frequently urges us to make sacrifices for the greater good or for the love of another.
Neptune cleans, refines, and purifies. Any planet that travels to Neptune will return purer. Garbage cannot exist on this earth. Neptune, a highly sensitive planet, boosts our capacity for subtlety and, as a result, fosters our creative side. All forms of visual expression, including photography, film, dance (including ballet and other dance arts), music, painting, and poetry, are governed by Neptune.
The ocean and all other bodies of water are governed by Neptune. It controls snow, ice, and all liquids, even alcoholic beverages. Neptune also governs medications, including both the harmful ones that cause us pain and the beneficial ones that improve our health.
The Planet of Mist is another name for Neptune. It makes us yearn to leave behind the ordinary, everyday world and enter a more perfect one. It challenges us to surpass expectations and break free from all restraints.
However, because Neptune distorts reality and skews our impressions of it, there are occasions when Neptune causes problems and makes it challenging to understand the truth. Neptune might cause us to deceive others or ourselves, or simply cause us to misinterpret or be misunderstood. It reigns over everything glitzy and bright. Remember that not all of Neptune’s visions are accurate. Saturn is tasked with providing us with the unflinching reality. We require an inspirational world. That is the territory of Neptune.

All of the planets go through retrograde motion, but Mercury is the most prevalent and feared because of his numerous three- to four-yearly retrogrades, which frequently result in what Kavanagh refers to as “Mercury mischief.” “Every year, the larger, outer celestial bodiesincluding Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto, and Chironmove backward for a significant amount of timetypically four to five months. Every alternate year, closer to Earth orbiting planets Venus and Mars go into retrograde.” She continues, “The sun and moon never go backwards.”

Neptune is linked to creativity and spirituality. You can be sensitive or intuitive if Neptune is in aspect to your Sun. You might have keen awareness of both energy and emotion. Sun/Neptune people have what I refer to as “psychic antennas.” In other words, you have the ability to sense the mood or feelings of others without their having to speak.
Your enhanced intuitive or energetic senses can have drawbacks.
Just because you can sense something doesn’t imply you have to take care of it or fix it. Your ability to be compassionate can both be your strength and your weakness. When you are compassionate, you may give to the point where it hurts you personally.
Due to Neptune’s sensitive nature, you can find it difficult to establish or uphold boundaries or you might exhibit excessive traits. You might need to learn when to say no or stop.

The desire to escape the ordinary will ideally lead you along a spiritual or service path, but on the way there you might spend some time avoiding reality by overindulging in food or alcohol. Getting rid of individuals or circumstances that drain or deplete you is crucial. It’s crucial to learn how to control your energy.
