NEPTUNE’S LOOP AROUND SUN
Neptune spends (give or take) 13.5 years in 1 sign. It takes him roughly 165 years to completely orbit the Sun. He retrogrades often, for about 4-5 months every year. It’s quite special we get to experience Neptune in his own sign of Pisces during our lifetime.
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE
Outer planets like Neptune are ‘heavy-hitters. To be plain, it’s not like a quick Moon (mood) transit, that we feel for a day. Nor is it like a Mercury Retrograde, that we feel for a couple months. Neptune transits are giant segments of our life, felt for years. This shouldn’t be news to you, because this is something you’ve been feeling for some time now. What does it mean for you?
THE ENERGY FORCE
With Neptune, you’re dealing with archetypal forces to do with emotional and spiritual fulfillment. Intuition and mysticism. Unity with the cosmos, oneness. Supreme beauty, spiritual awareness, and idealism. Divinity, receptivity, and sensitivity.
WE ALL HAVE PISCES SOMEWHERE IN OUR CHART
Where is all of this happening you ask? It’s amplifying the area of your life where the expression of Pisces lives. We all have Pisces somewhere in our birth-chart. The location in which he shifts retrograde causes the energy slows down. It becomes heavier and thicker. Because this feeling of time slowing down, we have the capacity to re-cap, re-assess, make connections, even aha moments. So that once he moves forward we’ve recognized how to apply that which we’ve learned.
How we work through Neptune transits, has much to do with how Neptune is operating in our natal chart. Is he challenged? Is he relatively happy? Is he complacent or perhaps dormant? Reach out for a birth chart reading to explore your chart together.

Questions to ask myself: How am I operating in this sector of my life? What are my feelings regarding the archetypal emotions for Neptune in this area? Am I in or out of alignment / balance? How do I respond to the fuzzy blur? How can I best draw from this permeable line between reality and the beyond?
