Neptune stations direct in Pisces, having moved only two degrees since it began its retrograde on July 2. Despite moments of heightened tension or the confusion endemic to being alive on the planet, the last five months have presented us with a comparatively lucid atmosphere. Neptune’s retrogrades remove rose-colored glasses and force us to witness the reality of our situation. There have been disappointments, yes, but we would be far worse off were we able to gloss over or compartmentalize these disappointments, drifting further from the truth in the process. Neptune’s passage backward through Pisces additionally facilitated a sextile to Pluto in the late degrees of Capricorn. Their sextile is an ongoing multi-generational aspect that heralds sweeping evolutions in consciousness. One thing is certain: we are learning our lesson. Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius recently released Neptune from this aspect, but they will return to within a two-degree orb by late May.
Now, of course, the illusory fog is beginning to return with Neptune’s about-face. For the next seven months, idealism resumes its grip – not always a bad thing, but not always a good thing either. Neptune is also gearing up to make its grand entrance into Aries next year, the first time it will grace this sign since 1875. We’ve gotten used to Neptune sitting pretty in its domicile for the past twelve years. 2025 promises a surge of new energy. How the planet of illusion and mysticism will fare in such combustible territory and how you may wish to harness its inspirational powers for your own purposes, may be something to start thinking about…
