Neptune is the higher octave of your planetary ruler, Taurus. With Neptune’s ties to Venus, the Great Dissolver can amplify the Lesser Benefic’s powers quite potently. On one hand, this energy can lift us to the highest heights of soulmate love and union in this lifetime. On the other, it can create tremendous hedonism that overtakes us and completely rips us from reality. With Neptune retrograde taking place, we must make a conscious effort to keep our feet on the ground rather than just drifting amongst the waves. Neptune retrograde this year officially lasts from July 7, 2026 until December 12, 2026.
