Working with Neptune Retrograde June 30th to December 6th, 2023.

Reality check incoming....

Neptune stations retrograde on Friday, June 30th, until December 6th.  Neptune goes retrograde once a year, and it's always about "breaking the spell," - if there is one that is keeping us in fantasy, delusion, or escapism.  

Neptune retrograde is an annual "reality check," and this is a good thing.  

Think of it this way...Neptune, strong in Pisces as the modern ruler of the sign, can weave illusions.  We can get lost in fantasy-land and quickly get swept out to sea.  But every year when Neptune is retrograde, it's magic weakens as the sun burns through the nebulous haze - that is, if there is any.

If we are working high Neptune/Pisces, we are tuned in to "in-spir-ation" - guidance from spirit, and channeling that through our bodies in a grounded way.  This is how as creative beings we create life, bringing ideas and dreams from imagination into 3D reality through real-world action steps.

If we are disconnected from ourselves and the mundane world, swept out into the Neptunian/Piscean abyss, then it doesn't matter what kind of inspiration we are receiving from source because the channel is not there for it to be realized.

That's why, even though Neptune is an outer planet and more of a generalized influence than the personal planetary retrogrades, it's important to take note and be aware of the energetic dynamics at play right now.

Saturn also now retrograde in Pisces is here to help....

Saturn, the planet that makes things real and ruler of the 3D realm, is also in Pisces, having just landed there in mid-March, and just stationed retrograde on June 17th.  
​
Saturn will station direct on November 4th, and then Neptune will follow December 6th.

Note that they are both retrograde in Pisces. 

While Neptune retrograde is a reality check, a "lifting of the veil," Saturn's retrograde is more like a mentorship where we are getting some guidance, time to review and rework, or even lessons around what we are building in our lives and how to create a strong container - foundation and boundaries - to hold what we value and keep it safe. 

​In Pisces, this has to do with our ideals, our dreams, and even the collective dream - it has a very spiritual theme having to do with the connectedness of all life, that we are all one, all part of a greater whole, like drops of water in the ocean.

It's all energy ~ the gifts come now when we keep the faith and stay positive, no matter what kind of "reality check" shows up as Neptune stations retrograde.

As Neptune stations retrograde this weekend (exact 27° Pisces at 15:06 CDT, Friday, June 30th), the astrology surrounding the beginning of this cosmic phase lasting til early December reminds us of the importance of keeping the faith and trusting - trusting ourselves, trusting our instincts, trusting in the possibility of the best outcome for all involved and for the entire planet no matter what the "what is" looks like right now.

There are many other factors at play now, and the bottom line is, it's all energy, and the energy that each one of us holds consistently in our day to day lives - that means our outlook, our faith, our beliefs, our thoughts, and our feelings - is creating our personal futures and our future as a collective, as a planet, in each moment, with each breath.  

As Neptune stations retrograde this weekend, we have sun and Mercury in Cancer, and the moon gliding through Scorpio all upping the water vibes - the water element is always about intuition and emotions.  E-motions are energy in motion, and energy is all there is in this universe - quite literally, energy is what this universe and every single thing in it is made of.  We live in a world of vibrational frequency.  We emit vibrational energy.  We create with vibrational frequency.  And the vibrational frequency we create with is our emotions.  Our emotions - our feelings - is also the conduit of messages in our body, our information source, our intuition and inner guidance.  

Right now as Neptune stations retrograde, we have Jupiter, planet of abundance, wealth, luck, opportunity, expansion, growth, optimism, truth, faith, and belief in Venus-ruled earth-sign Taurus in a positive link up to first sun (light of consciousness) and then Mercury (the mind, messenger, thinking, and communications).  The message here is this:  keeping the faith and staying positive right now is going to bring good things - this is where the growth and opportunity will be found!

So no matter what "reality check" we might get as Neptune stations this Friday the 30th, let's remember it's here to help us, and it's our job to keep the faith and turn to Saturn currently retrograde also in Pisces for assistance around what to do on the mundane, 3D plane to come back into alignment and step back into being the channel - our bodies being the channel and instrument - for "making the ideal real."

One small step for man...your role in an evolutionary leap for the collective - the "outer planet link-up."

As within, so without.  Whatever is in your inner realm energetically determines your outer experience in life, and it also ripples out to affect the whole, because it's all connected - you are part of the collective consciousness.  

That means you are a powerful creator, and what you are healing or not healing, cultivating or not cultivating, in your inner realm, and what you are creating in your personal life, has a powerful effect on this entire world.

You matter.  You are important.  What you think, what you believe, what you feel - it all ripples out and affects the whole.  You're a big deal, and it's time to start acting like it.

Not to worry - Chiron in Aries is on the job already helping us heal those wounds to self that keep us playing small, and Venus is in Leo with both Lilith and Mars right now getting ready for a retrograde that is nothing short of a personal renaissance for each of us - an opportunity to clear out the shame and shadowy bits that have kept us from stepping up and claiming our thrones and owning our inherent value and worth.  We are all getting the opportunity to clear the inner blocks that have been keeping us from our most authentic level of self-expression.

So you can see how that over the coming weeks (Venus is retrograde in Leo from 7/22 to 9/3) will be very helpful support as we work on the larger themes around Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Pisces and "making the ideal real," both in our personal lives and as a collective.

But there's something even bigger at play here.  Neptune in Pisces is linking up (by 60° sextile - a positive, flowing aspect) to Pluto in Capricorn this year, and these two outer planets are coming back into this aspect pattern after a 30 year break, and the third outer planet, Uranus, will be joining in the mix too (also linking by 60° sextile to Neptune).  

This "outer planet link-up" by sextile (Uranus in Taurus to Neptune in Pisces to Pluto in Capricorn, all in the 3rd decan of their respective signs) is on strong from around August 21st to November 14th this year. 

Keep in mind that another major underlying energetic current of this year is one of deep release and letting go of the past to move forward as Pluto is in T-square to the nodes of future and past, destiny and fate, increase and release, early March to early December this year - no matter what else is going on, you are being asked to completely release the past and do the clearing work and cord-cutting - or else.

But this "outer planet link-up" is also an overarching energetic current we want to be aware of and consciously work with, because it's about humanity undergoing a major evolutionary leap.  It's about understanding that we are all connected, and on some level, are all one.  It's about us as individuals being part of the collective consciousness.  It's about the fact that it is really all energy and we are all energetically connected, and because of that, each one of us is a powerful creator contributing to the whole and the outcome.  

You are not powerless to contribute to positive changes in this world and on this planet.  Your true power lies in your daily energetic vibration, because this is where you - where we all - create from.  The energetic vibration, the emotions, the vibrational frequency that we put out day in and day out - that's the "prima materia," the raw material you create with as alchemist of your life.  It's all about the healing work you do in your own inner realm.  Because every bit of that is one more shift for the whole, for the collective, and there IS a tipping point of consciousness - when we get a certain number of individuals to a certain point of healing, we bring everyone with us. 

This is about your energy - the energy you are choosing to transmute and the energy you are choosing to cultivate. 

​It's about what you are now willing to fully release from your past and the limiting beliefs you are now ready to be done with so that you are released into a higher consciousness, so that we can all be released to a higher consciousness.  

Can you hold the high vision for a good outcome for all?  Can you rise above the "what is" of the now and energetically align with a future full of solutions and positive change that supports the greater good of all life on the planet?

Collectively (and personally) we are in the midst of major change.

Pluto began this transition of eras in March when it landed in Aquarius for the first time in over two centuries.  It has since gone retrograde and moved back into Capricorn for a "clean up round" of it's transit there since 2008, but come mid-January will return to the sign of the future and innovation, escorted by the sun no less, to stay for good - that is, until 2044.  

By May 2025, the other two outer planets (generational influences) will also have changed signs, with Neptune moving out of Pisces and into Aries, and Uranus moving out of Taurus and into Gemini.  

In contrast to Pluto's 16-20 year transit of each sign, Neptune spends 13 years in each sign, and Uranus spends seven - compare that to Saturn's two and a half year sign transit, Jupiter at one year, then Mars at two months, Venus at 18 months, and Mercury never being more than two signs away from the sun, which of course spends one month in each sign.

What this means is that from March 2023 until May 2025, we are in a major period of transition as a collective as we shift from one era to another, marked by the outer planets all changing signs over this transition period.

Things are going to look very different by May 2025.  

Pluto in Aquarius is a monumental shift.  The last time Pluto was in Aquarius, we had things like the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution.  Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of the future, breaking the status quo, rebellion, revolution, and freedom.  It's also about technology, innovation, and anything humanitarian.  Pluto is about death and rebirth style transformation - exposing and stripping what is rotten so that it may be composted to support new life.  Pluto in Aquarius will be bringing innovative change, have no doubt, and selfish power and greed won't get good results. 

This kind of widespread deep-diving change can feel scary, but here's the deal:  it has the potential to bring solutions - positive solutions and new ways forward - that we have not yet even imagined possible.  

And it's up to us to hold that vision of the possibility of a future where technology provides us with better lives for every living being on the planet rather than more harm and destruction. 

It's up to us to align with that energetic vibe of faith, hope, belief, optimism, and trust and consistently hold it, because holding that energetic vibration is the only pathway from here to there, and each one of us has a part to play in doing that and bringing this one home, so to speak.

Here's the best part....

When you visualize your best future and hold the energetic vibration of that as you steadily take the action steps to move toward it - when you hold the belief that it is possible, and that you deserve it, and it will be your reality; when you stay positive; when you hold that high vibe and truly believe you are valuable and worthy and this is your future - you aren't just creating it for yourself - you are helping create that best future for all of us, for the entire planet.

So as Neptune stations retrograde, in the face of any "reality check" that might arise, this is my question to you:  can you stand in the "what is" of right now in your life and in the world, and hold the high vision for the best outcome for all, for a beautiful future for you and all life on this planet in complete belief and faith?   Can you raise your energetic vibration above the "what is" of right now and energetically align with a future full of solutions and positive change that supports the greater good of all life on this planet?

If you can imagine it, you can create it, but you are going to have to believe it before you see it, and we're all in this together.  So let's get started making magic!

The love, the abundance, the joy, the confidence, the ease that feels so elusive - it's waiting for you, you've just got to reclaim your throne, the throne of your heart.  

This is about personal sovereignty and coming right with yourself - connecting to yourself and healing your relationship with yourself, because your relationship to yourself determines every other relationship in your life, and your relationship to life itself. As within, so without.  It's energetic law.  ​

What we cultivate in our inner realm - the energy that emanates from that place within that grows out of our beliefs about ourselves and the world - that's what creates what we encounter without - our experience of life.  

​When you make the shift in the inner realm, the outer must come right to match your new energy.  It's law.  And when you learn how to do this - how to rule your inner realm and be in right relationship with yourself and stay solidly seated upon the throne of your heart - that's when you come into your true power, the power that no one and no thing can ever take from you.

I am not just an astrologist, I am a women's coach, and professionally trained in hypnotherapy - that means I understand how the subconscious mind works, and how to work with the subconscious mind to start shifting deeply embedded limiting beliefs, clear old trauma and even ancestral trauma we are carrying and start reclaiming our life force energy, inherent sense of self-value, and power to create the lives we were meant to live.
