Characteristics of Neptune’s Energy

Neptune was discovered in 1846, and belongs to the group of outer planets that bring change on a global scale.  

It takes 165 years for Neptune to go around each of the twelve Moon Signs.  

Neptune is the ruler of Pisces.

Neptune is like a turbocharged, higher dimension version of Jupiter and one of its characteristics is that its energy is very similar to that of Jupiter. 

Neptune and Jupiter both have “expansive energy” and are known for their “tolerance and generosity.”  They also share a connection with all things foreign. 

As to how they differ, Jupiter’s energy appears in easily understandable ways, such as in success and chance, but since Neptune is the planet of invisible things, it’s not easy to recognize how Neptune’s energy works. But just because its energy is invisible doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.  In fact it definitely has an effect on us.  That’s why people who get Neptune on their side are able to effortlessly succeed.  

Neptune’s Jurisdictions

• Unconditional Love

• Sacrifice

• Aura

• Ability to heal

• Spirituality 

• Things which can’t be seen such as the world of angels and the spiritual world

• Artistic sense

• Dreams 

• Imagination

• Images, such as photos, videos, and paintings

• Foreign countries

• Expansion

• Alcohol and drugs 

Neptune doesn’t make the distinction between black and white, and seldom draws dividing lines. With respect to the fact that Neptune attracts things such as drugs and alcohol, which have the ability to paralyze our senses, depending on the alignment of the planets there will be times when you will have to pay special attention. 

How to get Neptune’s Energy on Your Side 

The best way to take advantage of Neptune’s energy is to volunteer and to make donations and contributions.  These are all actions which appeal to Neptune’s jurisdiction of unconditional love. It’s like the Virgin Mary who bestows great love on all living things. If you do something without asking for anything in return, it miraculously comes back to you. 

You can charge yourself with Neptune’s power through the actions below.

• Going to the ocean

• Taking up dancing

• Water-color painting

• Receiving Thalassotherapy (the use of seawater, seaweed, sea mud and other sea products in cosmetic and health treatments) 

• Swimming

• Composing music

• Writing poetry

• Taking photos

• Trying out Tarot cards and Oracle cards. 

What Happens during Neptune’s Retrograde

All eight planets except for Sun and Moon go through retrogrades.

In the horoscope, retrograde means that the planet cannot display its power to the fullest.

Moreover, the energy which was supposed to be emitted outward stays within, and this brings effect to the terrestrial world in many ways. 

Neptune’s retrograde occurs once every year, and it lasts for about five months.

When Neptune goes into retrograde things such as marine accidents, territorial disputes, and drug problems tend to pop up.  There aren’t a lot of things which affect us directly as individuals, but there are a few points of caution you should be aware of.  

First of all, people have a tendency to become too easy on themselves, and they stop paying careful attention.  This can lead to overconsumption of things such as alcohol and cigarettes, and falling prey to sweet talk or scams. 

So it’s important to stay focused so as not to be taken advantage of.  

Another thing to note is that deliveries tend to go missing, so you should take extra precautions if you order something online and are expecting a home delivery. 

How to Spend Neptune’s Retrograde

I just mentioned some things to be careful about, but during Neptune retrograde many good things actually happen.

For instance it’s a great time to review past dreams and ideals and things that you have become complicit about, and start to clarify them. You will also find that things that haven’t taken shape up until now start to show results.  

Be sure to do the following things:

• Reimagine dreams and ideals that you envisioned a long time ago, and take actions to start getting closer to achieving them

• Get started on things which you have been putting off 

• Confront issues that you have been avoiding for years, and settle them once and for all

If you look back at your past dreams and ideals, you might realize that you are now able to achieve them.  And when Neptune retrograde comes to an end the possibility of this becoming a reality will be even higher. 

During the Neptune retrograde if you take the following actions, you will receive a boost of power from Neptune. 

• Think back and confirm if there are people who you forgot to express your gratitude to. 

• Receive a healing or a spiritual therapy (especially previous life therapy or regressive hypnosis)

What Happens When Neptune Returns to its Direct Motion

As a matter of fact, it is easier to feel the effects of Neptune when it returns to its direct motion, rather than when it is in retrograde.  Here are some concrete examples of how that might manifest itself.

• You get an answer for something you had been questioning

• Something that was in the grey zone, becomes either black or white

• Something that was covered in a veil shows its true form

• Something that was up in the air converges in one direction

• Something that was idle starts moving

When Neptune returns to its direct motion it’s as if the fog suddenly lifts and everything becomes clear again.  Here are some more examples of things that could happen.  You find out whether the person you thought was your soulmate is in fact your soulmate or just a pseudo-soulmate, and you determine if your dream is something that can be realized or whether it is just a pie in the sky.  For those reasons too, it’s important to pay attention to the timing of Neptune’s return to direct motion. 

Tendencies of People Born during Neptune Retrograde

What effects do we see on people born during Neptune’s retrograde?

The natal chart depends on the planets’ alignment and positions of other celestial bodies, but for those born during retrogrades, the planet’s energy tends to point inward. 

Here are some tendencies of those born during Neptune’s retrograde.

• Are easily fooled or deceived (especially by persons of the opposite sex)

• Are generous to a fault

• Tend to have an irregular lifestyle. 

If any of these sound relevant, try:

• Taking dance, art, or music lessons.

• Keeping more regular hours (especially the time you go to bed at night)

• Curbing your alcohol consumption.

We tend to put off doing things that we can’t see, but in reality they are often much closer to us than we assumed.  For that reason it’s important not to ignore the situation but rather to tackle it head on!
