Neptune Turns Retrograde With a Vengeance

By Lou Raedwulfe


I have written previously both on a blog and elsewhere on the effects of a Neptune retrograde. For the people in the Gulf area, the last backward dance of the Neptune, the Sea King is still fresh in the minds and hearts of those who had to endure the Gulf Oil Spill of 2010. On June 3, 2011, the Sea King again has gone in reverse. This time, however, the effects of a Neptune retrograde will be played out in the backdrop of Pluto also being in retrograde and located in the sign of the Capricorn, the Sea Goat. Given the potential impact of this astrological "double whammy", I am going to take a closer look at what these events may mean both on personal and world event levels.

Neptune is the ruler of fantasies, illusions, deceptions of all kinds and dreaming. It also rules human escapes which can include drinking, drugging and addictions big and small.

Many astute astrologers have differing views of just how a Neptune retrograde can play out. However, many of them to agree that is does have an impact on all liquids on the Earth. This type of retrograde will have an effect and may play a part in the Earth's resources this year. There may well be another huge event similar to or greater than the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed lives and one of their main nuclear plants.

While there are differing views of just how this Neptune and Pluto retrograde on people, they are in agreement that it will impact the Earth's resources such as oil and gas. It could have effects on dams, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and torrential weather. As far as people go, they may get a hefty dose of reality as the vail is removed during a Sea Kind retrograde. If you have been wanting change, be careful what you wish for!

The other school of thought is that, during a Neptune retrograde, the urge to lose ourselves in dreaming, fantasizing, and generally tuning out the ever increasing chaos of the modern world is almost overpowering. While such techniques as lucid dreaming can be beneficial in helping us find solutions to issues, the desire to escape by whatever means, including drugs and/or alcohol or other addictive behavior, can blind people to the very actions which are needed to try and right the proverbial ship.

Regardless of which interpretative system is applied, we can expect more scandals, lies and deceptions to be revealed involving those in power or those who are seeking power during this cycle. Water related issues involving the weather will also make an impact. This could well be a devastating hurricane season following the assaults from the spring's tornadoes and floods.

This time frame can cause people to be rather befuddled and unable to gather their thoughts or to express them clearly. It will behoove most people to think before they speak as mis-communications can become a problem along with gossip.

Against all of this, the retrograde of Pluto in Capricorn continues to push for change on a global level. The Dark Lord's power to effect transformation through destruction will continue to be felt. The unrest in North Africa may well spread to other parts of the continent. The old order which many people seek to cling to, whether out of fear or uncertainty, will continue to crumble. Importantly, the world view of banking and finance may be drastically altered. This, too, may well result in a realignment and reassessment of who is and who isn't in charge.

Pluto turns direct in September. However, the impact of the next three months will be felt for years beyond the current reverse dance of the Dark Lord. Expect the unexpected and know that transformational changes are coming whether we're ready or not.

These will be high impact months which may just create some history that we have not experienced before. Just think about it this way; you will have been living during a historic time during your short life here on this planet.
