Neptune Retrograde in Pisces Meaning

When Neptune—the planet of illusions and delusions—turns retrograde, situations become blurry and confusing to everyone. The haze settles in, and we don’t know what direction to follow or take. Sometimes, it can leave us stagnant in the present and unsure of the future due to unfounded fears and phobias. During the time Neptune is retrograde in Pisces, our intuition can be hard to gauge, making us believe things that aren’t necessarily real. Therefore, Neptune retrograde is a time when we can get lost in the fog, our emotions, and our visions. It’s as though we are in a wild daydream to which there is no end. The positive side of this transit is that we have time to reflect, which will help us in making moves toward what we want on a soulful level—when the time is right. As long as the vision is in our hearts, we can create the world we want piece by piece, with patience and love.
