\n<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nNeptune, the higher octave of Venus, moves through the zodiac at a luxurious pace, spending approximately 14 years in each sign. Neptune rules dreams, fantasies, and imagination, along with art, photography, films, and glamor. It holds sway over enchantment, magic, healing, intuition, spirituality, mysticism, self-sacrifice, transcendence, idealism, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and unification with Divine love. On the darker side of things, it can represent addiction, loss, illusion, delusion, and escapism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The twelfth house corresponds with Pisces, which is ruled by dreamy Neptune. However, in traditional astrology, Pisces is ruled by the benefic Jupiter. That means that Neptune and Jupiter<\/a> share a role as the ruler of Pisces. The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind and the hidden world. This is where we go to heal ourselves. Psychotherapy and psychic phenomena also fall into this house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional astrologers considered this the house of self-undoing, which encapsulates anything that we might do to undermine or sabotage ourselves. The twelfth house also rules large animals such as horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Roman god Neptune (whose Greek counterpart is Poseidon) rules the sea, all other bodies of water, earthquakes, and horses (his favored animal). The powerful King Neptune carries a trident and rides in a chariot pulled by multiple hippocampi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related: The Neptune Spiritual Meaning<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Neptune Retrograde is a phenomenon that occurs when Neptune appears to go backward. During this period, your intuition, dreams, and psychic perceptions will feel stronger than ever. However, at the same time, you may feel like you can\u2019t trust yourself or your insights. You may be tempted to second-guess yourself, but this is exactly when you most need to trust your gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related: The Full Moon Names and their Meanings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During Neptune Retrograde, you\u2019ll also be asked to dive deep spiritually and revisit your dreams and desires. You\u2019ll lift an inner veil and see reality for what it is, not just what you want it to be. Coming to grips with reality can be a bit painful, and you might feel the urge to run away. However, if you stick around, you\u2019ll see that this is ultimately for your own good. The illusions will wash away, but the truth will remain standing. This can help you reset the course of your life and decide what you want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that if something feels too good to be true, then it probably is, especially while Neptune is in retrograde. If things still hold up once Neptune goes direct, you have something real to work with. Remember that patience is your friend for the five or so months that Neptune goes retrograde each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make sure that you get through these cloudy waters safely, listen to your heart, trust your feelings, and follow your hunches. If you can do that, you\u2019ll reach the clear light of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your natal chart shows you were born with Neptune in retrograde, you\u2019re fortunate, because you can swim through the vagaries of life with practiced ease. It isn\u2019t easy to delude you, and you\u2019re able to focus on your intuition and your psychic dreams because you\u2019ve been developing this ability since you were born. You\u2019re deeply compassionate, and you\u2019re naturally drawn to become one with the sacred and the Divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll feel most of Neptune Retrograde\u2019s effects subconsciously, so this could be a confusing time. You may find yourself questioning your own judgment, and any illusions that you\u2019ve been harboring can get swept away, leaving only raw truth behind. Old wounds may resurface, which could give you a chance to heal them once and for all. If you decide to trust your intuition <\/a>ahead of time, you may be able to lessen your pain and confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some brief descriptions of how Neptune Retrograde may affect you as it transits through each house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve been prompted to find and nurture your inner Divinity. You\u2019re also being asked to stop refusing to see yourself as you really are. For instance, maybe you\u2019ve been beating yourself down by telling yourself things that aren\u2019t true and causing yourself pain. This is a chance to view yourself more clearly and start speaking the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Money matters get real as you take a serious look at where your money\u2019s been going<\/a>. You\u2019ll be shown where funds have been quietly leaking out from under your radar. (This is an ideal time to check old autopayments for things like subscriptions. Make sure that you\u2019re only paying for what you want to have.) You may be drawn to reflect on what you have and what you want, as well as how you can facilitate financial abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Third House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the time to observe how your communications affect others. You\u2019ll see if your words have been too little, too much, too soft, or too harsh, especially with any siblings. You\u2019ll find healing words to speak both to yourself in your mind and out loud to others. If you tend to daydream while driving and\/or running errands, you\u2019ll get a reminder to stay grounded in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fourth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll reach a realization about whether you want to stay where you currently are or get up and move to a new home. You\u2019ll also see your family members as they are, not as they want you to see them. You may get closer, or you\u2019ll get a reminder that blood doesn\u2019t make someone family. If the latter happens, you could need to separate yourself from potentially abusive figures<\/a>. It\u2019s someone\u2019s behavior that matters, and your friends can be family too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fifth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is time to take another look at that enchanting being who entices your heart. If you\u2019ve been wondering whether that person is really The One, you may know the answer by the time that Neptune goes direct. You\u2019ll finally have extra time to engage in creative pursuits, or you may find more ways to interact and play with your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sixth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve been pushing yourself, working too hard, and just generally overdoing it, this is the time to take honest stock of your health and emphasize self-care<\/a>. Right now, extreme self-nurturing is necessary. Try to take catnaps when you need them. If you\u2019ve been putting off a medical checkup, get one now. Take your pets to the vet for their yearly exam as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seventh House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may find yourself observing the people in your life with new eyes and seeing them for who they really are. The veil over your eyes will lift, and anything fuzzy or anything that you overlooked becomes crystal clear. This could be a time of reckoning and endings. Alternatively, you could fall even more deeply in love and develop a stronger unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eighth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s true that money makes the world go round. However, if it\u2019s been turning your world upside down, you\u2019ll now see whatever you need to do to bring it back into balance. This may require some sacrifice, but somehow, you\u2019ll find yourself abundantly compensated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ninth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re preparing to take an exam, lock yourself down and study twice as hard as you normally would. You\u2019ll be thankful you did because you might get some unexpected test questions. Check your travel plans carefully and be ready to pivot around unplanned changes at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tenth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve been laboring at a job or career that you\u2019ve tried to make yourself like or have felt pressured to pursue, take a step back and evaluate whether this is the path you actually want to be on. What would you really like to do with your life? Look for and follow your heart\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eleventh House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Are your friends who you think? Are they supportive of your life as it is now, and do you feel a true sense of unity with them? Or have you outgrown them? If it\u2019s the latter, Neptune Retrograde will help you see who you need to walk away from so new friends can come into your life. This applies to your hopes, wishes, and dreams as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twelfth House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let the inner healing begin. If you want, seek out a good therapist, friend, or trusted psychic to help you let go of painful thoughts and ideas as they come up. If you\u2019ve felt imprisoned by old attitudes or ways of thinking, reach around and unlock your cage. You\u2019ll discover that you\u2019ve always had the key to your own freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related: What is Your Life Path Number?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Embrace the healing energy of Neptune in retrograde. Let it restore your hope and soothe your soul. It can help you cast out the things that aren\u2019t worth worrying about or aiming for, allowing you to recalibrate your dreams so you can reach more fitting, solid, and rewarding goals. Give serious consideration to the new dreams that Neptune inspires in you. Remember, Neptune is the loving higher vibration of the goddess Venus, and it only wants what is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related: How to Read Tarot Card Spreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Astrology plays an important role in your day-to-day life.

It also inspires us to live up to our own inner spiritual purity and beauty.
