Welcome to the episode on Neptune retrograde from June 30-December 6, 2023, and how we may be affected by this transit.  Listen up to learn how your Zodiac Sign will be affected.

Neptune is an outer planet in Astrology, also called a transpersonal planet, and where it is transiting has an effect on the Collective consciousness.  Neptune is a slower moving planet, taking 165 years to orbit the Sun. It takes 14 years to travel through a Zodiac sign, thus it is a marker of generations, or a generational planet.  

According to Isabel Hickey in her book, COSMIC ASTROLOGY, “Neptune belongs to another dimension (the psychic worlds).  It is not interest in worldly success.  It is psychic, mystical dreamy, sensitive, emotional and receptive to nature.” “Fog and mist are related to Neptune for they screen the landscape and one does not see clearly. “

Neptune rules the Oceans and the Moon rules the tides.  Neptune rules, dissolution, illusion, delusion, scams, thieves, and what is behind the veil or hidden from our conscious view. Neptune also rules ethereal beauty, glamor, the film industry, photography and higher states of consciousness.

The transit of Neptune in Pisces is bringing attention to water!  The lack of water, inundation of water and the health of our water supply and oceans.  We’ve had an increased amount of hurricanes, floods, rising water lines and water inundation since Neptune has been transiting Pisces.  More attention has been brought to ocean life and the health of our oceans, including fish, dolphins and whales.  

Also, Toxins and Toxicity will be come an issue.  Especially toxins in our waters, oil spills and other chemical spills and leaks will be in the news. There will be many water innundations and expect an intense hurricane season on the eastern Seaboard of the United States during this Neptune in Pisces Retrograde, especially because this year, Saturn is also retrograding in Pisces at the same time during the hurricane season.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine. I'm your host, jill Jardine, master's in Counseling, psychology, long-time Astrologer, psychic Healer and Yogi. Welcome to the episode Neptune Retrograde from June 30th to December 6th 2023, into the Mystic, revisiting our dreams and vision. In this episode, i'm going to discuss Neptune retrograde in Pisces and what it means for us collectively and for our zodiac sign. So stay tuned. Welcome to the episode on Neptune retrograde in Pisces from June 30th through December 6th 2023 and how we may be affected by this transit. Listen up to learn how your sun sign will be affected. This episode was inspired because of the mist and fog every day on my beach walk from June 30th through July 3rd. Neptune rules mist, fog and the oceans. Think of King Neptune in Roman mythology, who appears arising from the ocean holding his weapon, the trident, which is the astrological symbol for Neptune.

Speaker 1:

Neptune went retrograde on June 30th, the day I began being immersed in thick fog during my morning beach walk. This continued for successive three days. The beach was foggy, misty, the weather was humid and I couldn't see too far ahead of myself. It was so surreal. It made me think of heaven, or how heaven is portrayed in the movies When someone dies and they end up in a nebulous misty place and can see figures in the distance but can't make out where they are or who these figures are, until the voice of God comes booming through and says ah, you've arrived. So for several mornings I walk through the misty, heavy fog, feeling a sense of surreal Interesting. When you can't see what's behind you or in front of you, you just have to pay attention to walking through the present moment, very spiritual and Zen, so Neptunian, the most spiritual or addictive planet in the zodiac. I thought to myself this is Neptune, this heavy fog and mist by the ocean. Then I realized after three days, on July 2, that Neptune had gone retrograde on June 30th and the archetypal energies of this planet were welcoming me every morning for the first three days of its retrograde transit. So I jented Sanskrit mantras and asked to connect closer to the sublime through the nebulous fog, something which Neptune could deliver to me.

Speaker 1:

Neptune is an outer planet, in astrology also called the transpersonal planet, and where it is transiting has an effect on the collective consciousness. Neptune is a slower moving planet, taking 165 years to orbit the sun. It takes 14 years to travel through a zodiac sign. Thus it is a marker of generations or a generational planet. For instance, from 1957 through 1970, neptune transited through the sign Scorpio, creating a generation inspired by sex, drugs and rock and roll and spiritual awareness, who all came of age during the 1970s and 80s and were very impacted by the music of those times. Sex and drugs were rampant. When this generation came of age, scorpio rules sex and drugs.

Speaker 1:

When Neptune transited Scorpio from 1957 through 1970, this marked the era of escapism. Excape through alcohol, sex and later drugs was prevalent during these years. Just think of the transformation of Don Draper and Madman from the late 1950s, early 60s hard working admin to evolving into the alcoholic tripping, sexual maniac that he became through 1970. Question 7 During this cycle from 1957 to 1970, hippies' cults and tripping on drugs like LSD was prominent. Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary introduced the psychedelic culture into America, leaving their jobs at Harvard to pursue psychedelic experience in a non-academic environment. Timothy Leary was an iconic leader for the burgeoning new reality, tripping on various substances, urging people to turn on, tune in and drop out during Neptune's transit through Scorpio. Meanwhile, richard Alpert found his Neptunian bliss in India with Guru named Karoli Baba and became Ramdas, a leading spiritual teacher in the years that followed During Neptune's transit through Scorpio in the 60s, medicine had taken enormous strides, especially with the prescription and use of painkillers, opiates and other prescribed drugs and hallucinogens. Neptune rules altered states, whether they are achieved through spiritual practices or through the use of substances. During Neptune's transit through Scorpio, there was a strong interest in outer space, reflected by the inner-side interest in inner worlds and after-death states appearing during these years. Many psychics and sensitives were born while Neptune transited Scorpio, including me.

Speaker 1:

According to Isabel Hickey in her book Cosmic Astrology, quote, neptune belongs to another dimension, the psychic worlds. It is not interested in worldly success. It is psychic, mystical, dreamy, sensitive, emotional and receptive to nature. Dog and mist are related to Neptune, for they screen the landscape and one does not see clearly. Neptune rules the oceans and the moon rules the tides. Neptune rules dissolution, illusion, delusion, scams, thieves and what is behind the veil or hidden from our conscious view.

Speaker 1:

Very similar to Ketu, the South Node in Vedic astrology, neptune is described as one of the most elusive planets in astrology and few astrologers, unless they have a prominent Neptune placement, can read it in a chart correctly. Because of this elusive quality, neptune, located in a prominent sector in a natal chart such as conjunctin angle, specifically the ascendant, which is the first house, the rising sign, and if Neptune is in that first house, or conjunct the horizon, or ascendant, or located at the mid-heaven or highest part in the chart in either the ninth or tenth houses, can bestow a person with psychic abilities, sensitivities and connection with other worldly energies, such as the ability to channel. It can also give an elusive beauty, or it can make the native an alcoholic or addict, as Neptune rules alcohol and addiction, like a Marilyn Monroe, the ultimate Neptunian archetype, with her surreal beauty, addictions, glamour, film presence and star quality. Who embodied all these qualities? with Neptune conjunctur ascendant in Libra, it will bring these results as well in a person if it is conjunct or close to a planet such as the Sun, moon, mercury or Mars. Neptune has an association with dreams, romance, deception, glamour and illusion. It brings through the inspiration that leads to brilliant works of art and music, but is also to blame for issues around delusion and lies and addiction Governing the realms of all things hidden. It can be compared to the act of walking through a thick fog with an uncertainty of what dangers or rewards lie ahead. When this planet goes retrograde, our perception of reality is turned on its head as we are forced to contend with both fantasy and illusion. Neptune rules the glamour industries, such as film, photography, and even the beauty industries, such as fashion and beauty. To some extent, neptune rules the sign Pisces, which it has been traveling through in home court since 2011 until March 30, 2025. Again, it takes 14 years to go through a sign. The whole generation of Neptune and Pisces is being born during these years, from 2011 through 2025.

Speaker 1:

When Neptune is in Pisces, many have envisioned an ideal world centered around compassion, mercy, empathy, service, sacrifice, intuition, artistry or spirituality. We're not quite there yet, are we, and we only have a couple years to get there. However, people are becoming more sensitive, intuitive and imaginative. The desire to escape has escalated, though, during these years, with overdoses on drugs, suicides rising alcoholism, liver disease increasing drug use and drug and alcohol related deaths. During the Neptune and Pisces transit, the booming cannabis industry emerged. The use of psychedelic mushrooms, ayahuasca and other psychedelic substances is burgeoning as well. The transit of Neptune and Pisces is bringing attention to water, the lack of water, inundation of water and the health of our water supply and oceans. We've had an increased amount of hurricanes, floods, rising water lines and water inundation since Neptune has been transiting Pisces, more attention has been and will be brought to ocean life and the health of our oceans, including fish, dolphins and whales. So Neptune is ruled by Pisces and is currently transiting through the sign Pisces.

Speaker 1:

Pisces is the archetype of merging with spiritual forces, but it lacks the discernment of its polar opposite sign, virgo, and that merging may also be with something outside of oneself, including merging into a relationship or with unwholesome forces. In its high vibration, pisces can be considered a spiritual sign. In its lower vibration, it is more addictive and codependent. In astrology, pisces is said to rule the spiritual body, while Virgo rules the physical body. When Neptune goes retrograde in Pisces, there will be attention to illness, specifically undiagnosed illnesses, viruses and other health issues that are hard to track or determine the cause. Pisces, in astrology, rules the 12th house, which indicates the end of life.

Speaker 1:

When Neptune retrogrades, there may be more focus on death and dying and people having choices in ending their life or the end of life. Using substances for care such as cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms to ease pain and reach higher states of consciousness before death as life winds down may be explored More attention in the mainstream about end of life care, end of life issues hospice, death, dying death, doulas like birth doulas, and the spirituality of death. These issues aren't really being addressed in our western society and they will become more predominant, especially with the planet Saturn also traveling through Pisces at this time. Also, toxins and toxicity will become an issue, especially toxins in our waters, oil spills and other chemical spills and leaks of various source will be in the news. There will be many water inundations and expect an intense hurricane season on the eastern seaboard of the United States During this Neptune and Pisces retrograde, especially because this year, 2023, saturn is also retrograding in Pisces at the same time.

Speaker 1:

During the hurricane season, neptune, the ruler of Pisces, rules deception and delusion, so there will be more scams spiritual, financial and otherwise. This coincides with the economic recession, so watch out for all those scammers out there who want to take your money. Also, there may be more news about those who live in a Neptunian way, in the fringe of society, surviving on fraud, stealing and other nefarious means, such as grifters, homeless gypsies, tramps and thieves. There will be a big surge in the mainstream seeking spirituality, but we cannot be convinced that it will all be true teachings. There will also be a rise in fake shamans and spiritual charlatans or preachers and teachers who are out to steal your soul and your money. Remember, neptune rules boundaries, so protect your boundaries and don't believe everything you hear. Take off those rose-colored glasses.

Speaker 1:

Now let's talk about Neptune retrograde in Pisces from June 30th through December 6th 2023. Neptune is the planet of dreams and illusions, so its retrogrades subtly affect the way we perceive our realities. Neptune is a transpersonal planet that can affect groups of people when it retrogrades, sometimes waking populations out of a collective illusion being perpetuated by the media or government. Neptune backspins once a year for about five months. At a time When Neptune retrogrades, the sign Neptune is transiting through, and Pisces, the sign Neptune rolls, will be affected. In the current case of Neptune retrograde, it is transiting through its own sign, pisces, so Piscians are feeling it strongly. Pisces are extremely impacted by this Neptune retrograde cycle because Saturn is also retrograde in Pisces. When Neptune goes retrograde, it helps to integrate our dreams and visions. We will find out where we have diluted ourselves and where in life are we wearing those rose-colored glasses of illusion and where have we been led down the garden path.

Speaker 1:

Neptune retrograde is a good time for deep spiritual practices and connecting with source. Meditation and spiritual retreats are enhanced, getting away from the mundane and creative pursuits are favored. So see how you can retreat from the mundane or the everyday dull routines with Neptune retrograde and access inner creativity, inner beauty, inner love and touch the sublime.
