On October 22, transiting Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces where it will remain until it takes its final curtain call before moving into Aries on January 27, 2026, at which time it will officially put a period at the end of a 165 year planetary cycle, and while it’s natural to look ahead, it’s important that we use this time to reconsider the influence this cycle has had in our lives over the course of the past 14 years.
In short, what fogs have you burned through that brought you unparalleled clarity? What do you see clearly now that you didn’t in the past?
And on that note, was this new-found clarity a delight or a disappointment?
For example, did you experience some type of spiritual enlightenment or discover that your faith in someone or something was misplaced? And if the latter, were you able to surrender any feelings of guilt, shame or remorse that were attached to it
If not, there is no time like the present to release them, because your efforts will not only benefit from the dissolving influence of Neptune in Pisces but from its healing power as well.
Finally, it’s of the utmost importance to note that from now until January 27, Neptune will be sitting at 29° Pisces.
Known as the anaretic degree, the 29th degree marks the end of a sign, and while it is associated with completion, it is also considered a degree of fate and/or karma that brings a final test or lesson before it moves into the next sign.
Given that Neptune never budges from this critical degree during its final months, my feeling is that a final test or lesson on the collective level is more likely than not.
Like all things astrological, whether or not it will apply to you personally depends upon your personal horoscope, as well as what you have learned (or not learned) up until this point.
