Neptune Retrograde Is Offering These 4 Zodiac Signs a Major Reality Check
You survived Mercury retrograde, and even though we're in the midst of chatty Gemini season, we've still got one more celestial slowdown this summer: Neptune is about to go retrograde from June 28 until December 3. The good news is, because of its far distance from Earth, we won't feel the effects of this retrograde as personally or intensely as we feel Mercury retrograde. However, we will feel the energy most intensely on the days the planet begins its retrograde journey, and the day it goes direct and begins to gain speed again. Read ahead to get an idea of what to expect during this celestial event.

What Do Neptune Retrogrades Mean in Astrology?
In astrology, Neptune is a tough planet to grasp the meaning of, it can feel elusive and intangible. The surface of the planet itself speaks to these themes, as it isn't solid, but rather made up of various gases that eventually merge with water and melted ice caps. Based on these characteristics, Neptune is symbolically associated with abstract themes and concepts like our dreams, glamour, high ideals, spirituality, and delusion.

Neptune retrograde isn't an astrological transit you need to stress too much about, especially since Neptune spends about half the year, every year, in retrograde. When Neptune is in retrograde, we are offered a chance for revision when it comes to our dreams and creativity. This period offers us a chance to go inward and reflect deeper on areas of our life where we are self-sacrificing, or over-idealizing a person or situation. This is your chance to ditch your rose-colored glasses, reignite your creative spark and get re-rooted in reality.
