NEPTUNE RETROGRADE IN ARIES
07 July ~ 12 December
Herbal Ally : MUGWORT
Crystal Ally : LABRADORITE
A foggy period where there’s more beneath the surface making it difficult to see things clearly. The world may seem a bit unreal, and our feet may barely touch the ground at times. Boundaries feel thinner. Imagination runs close to the surface, and so does tiredness. We might feel somewhat foggy and unclear about our next steps, and we may feel less sure of things that seemed settled a week ago.
None of it needs solving. This is a spark of inspiration within, encouraging us to delve into dreams, desires, identities, and visions. Visualisation is the first step to realisation. Brainstorm, try different approaches to bridging the gap between the way we see things in our mind's eye and reality.
This energy is not as helpful for practical matters on the physical plane. This transit can blur desire until the real motive comes into view. We are invited to distinguish between our genuine soul’s calling and the deceptive urgency that masquerades as it. This is a test to see if we are truly committed to the path we’re on. If this week's disillusionment is all it takes to quash our spirits then maybe our vision wasn't that strong to begin with. It might have just been wishful thinking.
Beware a sense of spiritualised urgency : the feeling that every impulse is destiny, every conflict is noble, and every rash decision is somehow guided. We might miss red flags or not understand the difference between assistance and enabling. A lack of attention to details or a tendency to overidealise a situation could result in feeling disillusioned or deceived.
