Neptune retrograde
This retrograde period is a time to renew spiritually, avoid judgment and criticism. It is a time to develop or bring out your creative energies. The key points are faith and dreams but mostly blind faith. It is our own personal spiritual quest and the quest of society. Also, it has us reexamine our own hopes and beliefs. We must also look at our fears, illusions, confusions and spiritual journey to what is going on around us as we are part of the whole of humanity. During this time would be good to remove all escapisms and disappointment paths we may be on.
When Neptune is direct it governs over denial. But when it’s retrograde, we tend to not elude issues. The key thing to do during this retrograde period is to deal with the issues that we have been avoiding. If we do not deal with issues and cast them off by denial, we have a sense of dissatisfaction and disillusion in our lives. This retrograde removes our personal boundaries that we may have. It has us realize our own connection to everything. The boundaries that we have that are shredded during this time are usually the ones that are not healthy. These are the type that are placed in the sense of false security.
This is the period where we use more of the right hemisphere of our brains than the left. All sense of reasoning and logic can be directed into mysticism, intuition and esoteric. Our dreams, visions, and fantasies maybe our main focus during this time.
More sensitivity and heightened receptivity. This is because of the enhanced energy of intuition and our inner vision that has on us as a different and more insightful outlook on things. It is especially important to listen to that inner voice during this time. Our psychic abilities can be very heightened during this time. It is essential to talk and express out how we are feeling during this time. For those that are psychic or ultra-sensitive, it can be a very overwhelming time. This is because the energies are extraordinarily strong during this type of retrograde. It can be a positive thing or a negative experience for some. Those that are extremely empathic can relate to this. It’s like a psychic overload that you pick up too much around you that it can be toxin to the individual. The best thing would be trying to stay away from those that indulge in negativity too much and for the individual to not indulge in it also. Examples would be avoiding drugs, chemicals, stimulants, addictive personalities, draining individuals are just to name a few things. Make sure to shield your energies during this time. Protecting your energy field is the key. During this time try to ovoid drugs, alcohol, or other escapism things, as this may turn into abusive. On the upside, it can heighten those that are trying to develop their abilities. Our dreams states can be continually active during this time.
During this period the focus is on the very deepest dreams and desires that we have. It is a time to be creative. Find ways to do so by being creative through writing, dancing and art. The potential for us to achieve our dreams is very promising during this time. The need to rise above our egos and to put more focus on our activities and compassions in an outward manner as much as inward.
