    Neptune is said to be the higher octave of Venus and a couple of days after Neptune stations, Venus will enter the sign of Virgo (where Aries has its antiscion).

    Neptune will begin its annual 5-month retrograde period on 7 July at 04°25’ Aries (antiscion 25°35’ Virgo) and will turn station to turn direct on 12 December at 01°37 Aries.

    The chart for the station (London 10.55 GMT 7 July 2026) has Neptune partile sextile Uranua in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius with Uranus and Pluto in a partile trine aspect. This formation has been discussed many times by myself and other astrologers, Barbault defined it “the beginning of the golden era and a splendid relaunch of civilisation.”

    From my article in late March 2025 about Neptune’s brief ingress into Aries:

    What can we expect now with Neptune transiting Aries from 2025 until 2039? Probably (as already is happening in many parts of the world) – warfare, less from the seas and more from the air in the like of small aircrafts and drones. Some may believe this to be the only way to obtain their ideals. We may also see other wars of a religious nature or people wanting to be free from tyranny but Neptune dissolves slowly yet steadily, no solutions are on hand immediately in this scenario.

    Since Neptune also rules poisons, viruses, contamination of various nature and disease in general we may also expect water pollution (intentional probably with Aries involved) or biological warfare hidden under the name of epidemies etc.

    On a more personal level we may be more courageous and passionate in stating and fighting for our ideals, or our energy could be very scattered as the warrior loses his strength. As always, many possibilities always come with a planetary sign change.

    Some of the above have already come to pass and are continuing.

    When Neptune turns retrograde, the inner structures that are undergoing dissolution and change are more easily brought to the attention of our mind allowing us to review our blind-spots and uncover more hidden motives for our discomfort within the reality of the house it is transiting. We may even uncover parts of ourselves that need more nurturing and compassion rather than change.

    As we know, constructive change is made only by conscious effort in an already self-aware person, without this effort very little change can in fact occur.

    For some people, a Neptune retrograde could imbue a greater need for privacy and seclusion and even withdrawal than when the planet is direct owing to the fact that introspection is emphasized.

    This period, for others, could indicate a greater danger of taking refuge in escapist tendencies which might involve alcohol or drugs since emotional vulnerability is enhanced.

    Aspects to any planets or angles made by Neptune should give clues as to how each one of us might handle this retrograde period as will the house where the transit is occurring.

    However, tapping into our imagination, strengthening our powers of visualization and imagery by allowing inspiration through creative activities and relaxation could lead us to greater awareness of our latent talents and abilities.

    Wherever Neptune is transiting in our charts we should try to use visual imagination to picture ourselves functioning well and capably in the matters of that house. We should endeavour to integrate our senses and emotions with our physical bodies so that this imagery that we are visualizing is able to transform our reality.

    As we go along in this manner, we need to continually check on our inner self that we really do desire the experience we are imagining with the awareness that if we rehearse it often enough it just may become reality.

    The Sabian symbol for the retrograde station at 5° Aries: “A triangle with wings.” Indicating the capacity for self-transcending.

    For the antiscion point at 26° Virgo: “A boy with a censer serves the priest near the altar.” Indicating the first stage of actual participation in the great ritual of planetary evolution,

    Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.” E. Hemingway, 1946
