STELLAR GUIDANCE
NEPTUNE’S 2020 RETROGRADE RELEASES ILLUSIONS FROM THE PAST
JUNE 21, 2020
  /  
GRAY CRAWFORD

Neptune will station retrograde on June 22, 2020 at 20°57’ Pisces, and will station
direct on November 28, 2020 at 18°09′ Pisces.

Neptune in Pisces by transit unleashes a tidal wave with the potential to

disintegrate the structures that have been defining our identity. As old patterns
and boundaries dissolve underneath Neptune’s waves, it can feel as if we’re opening
to messages from far outside our known reality while simultaneously facing
disillusionment with the way things have been. In the wake of Neptune washing away
the familiar, our ability to effectively reorient can be impacted by exhaustion and
confusion as well as insecurity over leaving the secure known for an unknown
potential.

Neptune retrograde in Pisces will slowly creep backwards, giving us a second
opportunity to experience its impact upon 21 to 18 degrees of Pisces. It can take a
long time to learn how to adjust to the trance-like effect of Neptune by transit—so
as it moves retrograde, we can find ways of opening to realizations found in the
imaginal realm while also making sure that we can manage our daily
responsibilities. Neptune retrograde can facilitate release from illusions of the
past while engaging with rising inspiration that brings life to our imagination.

NEPTUNE RETROGRADE IN PISCES MEANING

Neptune will station retrograde in close proximity to a harmonizing sextile aspect
with Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, with an exact sextile forming between Neptune
retrograde and Jupiter on July 27 and October 11. Thus, during Neptune retrograde,
we can bridge immaterial visions with material manifestation and build structures
to support and express the inspiration flooding forth from Neptune. If we’ve been
dealing with difficult and disillusioning events, the aspects between Neptune
retrograde with Jupiter and Pluto will support regenerating visions for new growth
and restoring whatever has been damaged.

September will be an especially eventful month of Neptune retrograde, as Neptune

will reach its midpoint of forming an opposition with the sun on September 11,
2020. There will also be a full moon in Pisces on September 1 that will be ten
degrees away from Neptune, followed by a new moon in Virgo on September 17 that
will be six degrees away from an opposition with Neptune. During September, make
the time to reflect upon how well you’ve been handling Neptune’s influence. Are you
actively drawing from inner inspiration in your external work and creativity, or
have you been escaping reality through daydreams instead of living your own dream?
NEPTUNE RETROGRADE EFFECTS
Most intense for Pisces
Neptune retrograde will be most intense for Pisces, where it will dissolve
boundaries and open awareness to otherworldly perceptions.

Most challenging for Virgo

Neptune retrograde will be most challenging for Virgo due to it forming an
opposition, as Neptune will blur and warp the measuring tools that Virgo relies
upon for sorting and analyzing information.

Most beneficial for Cancer and Scorpio

Neptune retrograde will be most beneficial for Cancer and Scorpio by forming a
flowing trine aspect that will inject large doses of inspiration and imagination
into creative exploration.

HOROSCOPES FOR NEPTUNE RETROGRADE IN PISCES 2020

ARIES
Neptune retrograde will dissolve the self-concepts you use to define how you’re
seen in the world. You can help the process by keeping a dream journal or other
practices that will open you to being revivified by your unconscious. Let your
imagination source a new vision for you to work toward—without worrying about
achievement. Once you commit to manifesting your creative inspiration, you’ll
figure out how to develop the structural support to bring it fully into being.

TAURUS
You can use Neptune retrograde for re-dreaming your role within your community. If
you’ve felt isolated from relationships with people who share your passions and
dreams, reach out within your local community or through the Internet to find
groups centered around your interests. If you’re inspired to pursue a new creative
or spiritual practice, look for people who can guide you. If you’re already
involved in community, consider becoming a more active participant in developing a
collective vision.

GEMINI
It will be vital during Neptune retrograde to not sell yourself short or limit your
vision of what you can achieve. It’s time for dreaming big and imagining what would
make you happiest and most fulfilled in your career. Allow any disillusionment to
reorient you toward a more authentic path rather than giving up on your dreams. Be
open to receiving help from others, while also actively seeking collaborators who
share your vision and can invest resources to support you.

CANCER
The waves of Neptune retrograde will dissolve the boundaries you’ve constructed
around the philosophy or spirituality from which you derive meaning. You may be
drawn toward learning from a radically different culture or traditional lineage
than you have in the past. You may also become disillusioned by a philosophical or
spiritual system that was once important to you, opening you to new viewpoints
through your relationships. Making time to explore your imagination can lead to
significant inspiration and guidance.

LEO
Neptune retrograde will pull your awareness into dark and hidden recesses of your
psyche, dissolving blocks that have been in the way of receiving insight from your
unconscious. Allow the waves of Neptune retrograde to wash over old wounds, sorrow,
and disillusionment, letting you begin a regenerative process that will ultimately
lead you to increased vitality. This can be a powerful time to connect with
therapists and healers who have practices aligned with the healing that you need.

VIRGO
Neptune retrograde will draw your focus into exploring your relational dynamics so
that you can ultimately meet more of your intimate and emotional needs. You may
need to strip away illusions and ideals that have clouded your judgment. If you
experience disillusionment within relationships, work through the discomfort to
reorient toward cultivating the kind of relationship you want. This can be a
powerful period for getting in touch with your passions and discovering greater
pleasure within your relationships.

LIBRA
Neptune retrograde will draw your attention toward any misalignment between your
work routines and the ideals and larger goals that you hope to manifest. You may
realize that, while you’ve been working hard, you haven’t been as efficient and
productive as possible. Maybe you’ve been wasting time through distractions and
escapist pursuits. This can be a powerful moment to build a more secure foundation
from which to launch your work in the world. See how you can integrate your
imagination into the daily tasks of the process.

SCORPIO
Let your imagination run wild during Neptune retrograde, integrating as much
creativity as possible while committing to fulfilling your destiny. As you discover
new ways of expressing yourself and improving your ability to communicate with
others, you’ll feel the dissolution of anything that has been blocking or
restricting your creative instincts. This can be a powerful time for sharing your
gifts within your local community or engaging more actively with your most
passionate interests.

SAGITTARIUS
Let the waves of Neptune retrograde wash over your inner emotions, dislodging your
feelings from places that have become hardened or stuck. By swimming in
subconscious streams and connecting more with your emotional needs, you’ll
ultimately regenerate how you express and assert yourself through your work in the
world. This can also be a powerful period to uproot and heal issues with your
family, although that process may include working through disillusioning
experiences with family members.

CAPRICORN
Neptune retrograde can be a potent period to review how you’ve been communicating
with others and to allow yourself to express yourself more imaginatively and
creatively. Seek feedback from your friends and co-workers to make sure that
they’re receiving the impression you intend to communicate. This can be a powerful
time to change your style of personal presentation so that you’ll make a more
authentic impression on others.

AQUARIUS
Do your best during Neptune retrograde to determine if you’ve been responsibly
managing your finances. Neptune in transit can blur your ability to make clear
financial decisions, but as long as your plans are realistic, you can effectively
invest in making your dreams come true. Use your imagination to find new sources of
income that draw on your creative resources. Let any limiting beliefs about money
and abundance dissolve in the waves of Neptune retrograde.

PISCES
As the waves of Neptune retrograde disintegrate old identity constructs, you’ll
gain the opportunity to dramatically change your personal style and the way that
you’ve been presenting yourself to others. While you may experience feelings of
confusion and exhaustion, you’ll also have rich imaginal experiences that bring new
sources of inspiration into your life. It will be helpful to have an artistic,
creative, or spiritual practice through which you can transmit and express whatever
revelations you have been receiving from Neptune.
