Neptune Retrograde, Or When you Discover Darth Vader is your Father?!?
Neptune rules Pisces and the 12th house(jail, hospital and government sit in that house!) This planet of spirituality and illusion also represents dreams, fantasy and imagination. It can also keep us in a fog, enjoying our “rose colored glasses” and delusions. Since Neptune has no boundaries, when it retrogrades, stark realities appear suddenly and it can feel like a splash of icy water has been thrown in our face. It’s the moment when Darth Vader reveals the shocking truth of his connection to Luke, “No. I am your father.” Poor Luke, he’d already lost a hand that day and now this?!? “NOOOOOOOO!!!!”
About Neptune chillin at home 👉🏾
Neptune has been at home in Pisces since 2011–until 2026 and it’s responsible for the surge of spiritual practices such as yoga, reiki, meditation, and astrology (just to name a few) hitting the mainstream. Neptune was last in Pisces about 165 years ago when we first saw spiritualism begin to peak in 1840-1920. Think Sarah Winchester born in 1839 and heiress to the Winchester fortune. Her belief in spiritualism and seances, led to around the clock construction on her house in order to appease those killed by a Winchester shotgun. I highly recommend visiting the house if you get a chance, it’s beautiful and strange.
Edgar Cayce a famous clairvoyant and healer born in March 18, 1877 (so born with Neptune in Pisces and the sun in Pisces, he definitely could see some sh1t!) is known as the “Sleeping Prophet” sometimes known as the Nostradamus of his time. In a trancelike state, he would could diagnose illnesses and brought awareness to “holistic health”. Whether you believe in that are not, his life is one worth researching.
So back to the retrograde 👈🏾
We have five months of Neptune going back through Pisces. Even though there’s a possibility of illusions being shattered at least you’ll know the truth. It may be a shock to the system to believe but you can take action by tapping into your spiritual and creative gifts, to make something better. It’s like Luke after learning the hard truth about who his father was and how his mentor didn’t even tell him. “A certain point of view”?!? Whatever Obi-Wan! But Luke quickly got over Obi-wan’s vague confessions and connected with the energy of the Force, to become a powerful Jedi. He accepted the truth that Darth Vader was once his father Anakin Skywalker and eventually helped his father redeem himself healing some major family karma.
Please pay attention to your dreams and meditate. You will get much insight at this time if you do. 💜
