Don’t let Neptune in retrograde get you down! “Retrograde” is kind of a scary word in the astrology community and admittedly, they are never that much fun. But there are positives to be found in this transit. And if you find yourself still feeling anxious about it today, take heed in knowing that the rest of the day is filled with trines and sextiles!
This morning, as Neptune moves retrograde, we may feel confronted with the reality of certain situations. Later, the moon forms a trine with Uranus, making us cheerful and goal-oriented. Finally, the moon forms a sextile with Neptune, encouraging us to create beautiful things for our own benefit.
Neptune Goes Retrograde at 5:53 AM
Early this morning, Neptune in Pisces turns retrograde. This retrograde will last until December 1st. Under this transit, we will be forced to acknowledge things as they truly are. We may feel like our boundaries and our walls are being built up. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
Neptune tends to speak to our idealistic side especially when at home in Pisces. Ideals are wonderful things to strive for, but they can be accompanied by self-deception. But during this retrograde, our eyes are opened.
We have told ourselves we must work harder and love harder to get the life that we want. But that line of thinking can lead to us being taken for granted. While Neptune is in retrograde we will see situations for what they truly are and establish clear boundaries where they are needed.
The Moon Is Trine Uranus 7:11 AM
Around breakfast time, the moon in determined Capricorn forms a trine with Uranus in dependable Taurus. Under this trine, we think outside of the box. Our minds are working fast but we are still giving certain tasks the care and attention they require.
When two earth signs form such a high-spirited trine, we are endowed with the ability to fulfill anything. We use our persuasion, our can-do attitude, and our newfangled ideas to achieve all that we can. Nobody can tell us what we can and cannot accomplish. We decide that for ourselves.
The Moon Is Sextile Neptune at 10:52 PM
In the evening, the moon in Capricorn forms a sextile with Neptune, who is happy at home in empathetic Pisces. Under this trine, our minds are active and enthusiastic. We have been sensitive to the needs and emotions of those around us, but now we are sensitive to our own needs and desires.
This earth sign and this water sign work together to let our creativity grow to its fullest potential. Earlier we used our imagination to accomplish a variety of tasks that needed to be done. Now we can use it to indulge our own artistic interests. Now is a wonderful time to work on our passion projects and fulfill ourselves spiritually and creativity.
