While planetary retrogrades don’t deserve the criticism they receive, it’s possible that the Neptune retrograde that occurs every year is the reason why zodiac signs are forced to face the harsh realities of life.
Even if you don’t consider yourself a hopeless romantic, an idealist, or someone whose mind is in the clouds, you may have a hard time coming down to earth. After all, daily life is stressful and we all like to wear rose-colored glasses sometimes, right?
Astrologist and tarot reader Adelina Panina made predictions for all zodiac signs for this period.

What kind of events will retrograde Neptune in Pisces bring?
It’s worth noting that this effect of Neptune retrograde, especially in 2024, can be difficult to notice. In fact, unlike Mercury retrograde, which is a faster-moving planet, Neptune moves slowly, completing one revolution around the Sun every 165 years. It also spends about 14 years in each sign. However, it’s quite possible to notice the effect of Neptune retrograde, especially if it coincides with your natal chart.
Named after Neptune, the god of the sea, the planet of spirituality, dreams, the unconscious, karma, and all things mystical fosters imagination, empathy, and creativity. But it also sometimes clouds our perspective on things in a positive way. If you’re not yet ready to face the truth about a certain relationship, behavior, or responsibility, Neptune is the planet that helps you convince yourself that everything is fine. But when Neptune is retrograde for about five months of the year, it has a very different effect.
In 2024, Neptune will be retrograde in the mutable water sign of Pisces from July 2 to December 7. Neptune has been in its home sign of Pisces since 2011. Next year, it will move into Aries, signaling major changes in all areas of life that Neptune influences, such as society’s perception of spirituality and the misleading aspects of life, such as social media.
Understanding what Neptune retrograde means helps understand how the planet of spirituality works when it is direct (i.e., moving forward). Neptune’s purpose is to cloud rational thought, for better or worse. Although it is certainly not very useful or healthy to constantly deceive ourselves about anything, life will become unbearable if we constantly have to face harsh truths. Taking a temporary break from the daily grind can be beneficial for creative expression and escape of any kind, whether it’s reading fantasy novels or role-playing with a partner. In any of these cases, Neptune is the planet running the show.
However, when Neptune is retrograde, it is more difficult to ignore the problems that arise in the field of life that the planet activates. Some zodiac signs will need to face reality, which can be tiring, of course, but it will also provide an opportunity for growth. As with other planets, Neptune’s retrograde shifts the focus from the outside to the inside. As Neptune moves direct, it can inspire us to explore our imagination and express spirituality in the outside world, perhaps through creativity or by sharing thoughts and feelings with like-minded friends. But when Neptune is retrograde, it encourages us to mentally and emotionally channel the planet’s themes. It would be wise to explore anything that affects us during this period through therapy or another healing and therapeutic technique such as meditation.
