Neptune Retrograde: A Time of Transformation and Transcendence
*
June 25, our Sun is in Cancer; our Moon is in Capricorn; and Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces at 3:22 p.m. EDT until December 1. Neptune will be joining Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto which are also in retrograde. Neptune is the planet of imagination, spirituality and faith, and is at home in watery Pisces. Both are associated with fantasy and the subconscious.
*
Neptune, the god of the sea, the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, had a reputation for having a violent temper. He is often depicted carrying a trident, a three-pronged spear used for catching fish. Tempests and earthquakes were a reflection of his violent rage. He could be difficult and vindictive; his behaviour reflected in the unpredictable nature of the sea. He was also known to be a lady's man, having had numerous affairs.
*
The wisdom of Neptune is self-sacrifice (to let go, surrender, to lose oneself), empathy (compassion), dissolving (to merge, escape, be indistinct), illusion (to idealize, dream, imagine).
*
Astro Butterfly says, "When Neptune goes retrograde, old memories, dreams, fantasies or longings resurface, asking us to deal with them.
Of course, the way Neptune deals with things is not very straightforward, but it doesn’t mean that Neptune doesn’t work in the background. In fact, working in the background is pretty ‘Neptune’. ... Dreams, serendipities, unexpected encounters… these are all the workings of Neptune.
Neptune may not be straightforward, but it DOES offer solutions. Pay attention to signs, dreams, unusual communication messages. If something feels relevant and important – even if you can’t put your finger on it – chances are, it IS important and Neptune is whispering into your ear."
*
And so I asked Spirit, "What does Neptune Retrograde want us to know for our highest good?" and was gifted with...
Lord Shiva - Transcendence
*
Rise up. Honour your inner force. Steps are being given. Dance with the universe.

Extended Message:
* Lord Shiva is with you right now to awaken your sense of connection to life itself. You are moving through a deep transition and things will be clearer from this point - you will know exactly what you need to do and where you need to be. This is a powerful time, as you will transcend the limitations that others have set for you. It is a time of innovation, ideas, stargazing, soul travelling and soul revealing. Shiva , the lord of dance, is here, with his sacred sound of OM, to lead the way.

About: Shiva is one of India's trinity of male god figures. He is depicted wearing a cobra around his neck, representing his capacity to tame fear or the ego, surrounded by stars, showing his connection to the cosmos, and holding a trident, acknowledging the three aspects of divine masculine power in India: creator, preserver and destroyer. He is known as 'the destroyer' because of his warrior-like energy and ability to destroy fear. He is a facet of the divine father energy and offers paternal protection, support and guidance. He is also acknowledged as 'the cosmic dancer' because he helps coordinate the interaction between Earth and the cosmos. He has the capacity to help us move beyond the fear of failure and into clarity and connection.

Interesting the connection between Lord Shiva and Neptune...both carry a trident and both are about transformation! These next few months can be a powerful time. With the help of Lord Shiva, may we be open to the signs and messages that Neptune wants to give us. This may be a time when we need to surrender to something greater than ourselves. A time of acceptance or resignation, it could leave us with yearning, frustration, resentment, depression, tiredness or a calming relief, inspirational insights or hopeful possibilities.
*
No longer violent, difficult and vindictive, perhaps Neptune has grown and matured, inviting us to take a good look at ourselves, let go of anger and resentment, forgive ourselves and others, and find peace. These next few months will be an opportunity to learn about that power greater than ourselves, that spiritual side of ourselves that is longing for the More. By looking upon the beautiful, peaceful blue of the planet Neptune, we are invited to find peace within and to bring peace to our troubled world.
