NEPTUNE RE-ENTERS PISCES: WAS IT ALL JUST A DREAM OR A DELUSION?
Hello everyone, this is Kelly from Pathways 2 Healing. Normally I would do a new moon horoscope but there is something more important happening on Wednesday, October 22nd so I am going to focus on that but I will tie it into the new moon on the 21st in just a moment because these two events do go together. However, today Neptune is retrograding from Aries back into Pisces. To understand this, let’s go back, and I mean really go back. Thousands of years ago the ancients looked at the sky and thought that our solar system ended at Saturn, thousands of years later the modern planets were discovered – which are Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. All these planets needed rulers, Pisces was given to be the ruler of Neptune. Fast forward to 2011 Neptune entered its home sign of Pisces, and it had been there until March 30th when it moved into Aries and we got a preview of what Neptune in Aries might look like. Now on October 22nd it’s going back into Pisces for just a few months before it leaves this sign for about 150 years. So, you could say it has some unfinished business. Neptune is a planet that has to do with our dreams, the ones we have when we are asleep and the ones we have when we are awake. It is what we fantasize about. But there is a downside to this, it makes it hard for us to connect with reality and because of that we can become delusional. Sometimes the illusion of what could be is more attractive than what it is. So, since 2011 there might have been an area of your life where you had a dream of something, but it didn’t quite come together as you had hoped. There might have been some disappointment, or even a sense of “how could this be real?” Another way this might have worked out is, depending on how much Pisces energy you have in your chart, you might have questioned a lot about what the “real” truth is. It could have been a confusing time for many because it wasn’t about getting answers at this time, it was about how your dreams influence your perceptions. So over the past few months, we have gotten a look at what Neptune in Aries will be like and we may have gained some clarity. But now we are going to go back into that dream space and hopefully come out of it with a new perspective. With Pisces you have to have the dream before you can do anything, with Aries you can’t do anything without taking action and this is a time where we can really have that last look at what we have fantasized about for so long so when we finally get to Neptune in Aries for real and it’s not just a preview, we will know where we want to take action. Now that’s one way to look at it, the other is we once again become delusional, and this feeling of confusion and fog comes back and it feels familiar but it is as if something doesn’t feel right but we can’t quite put our finger on it. This is where we may feel as though we are getting stuck, that we can’t move forward and that any progress we have made over the last few months is starting to fade away. Hold on though, this is not going to last long because it will go back into Aries on January 26, 2026 and it will stay there until 2038. So this is an important time, important lessons, important things to finish up.
Now I did mention the new moon on the 21st being connected to this. Because new moons bring about new beginnings and then the very next day we are kind of revisiting an old story, we may get a new perspective on something that has been with us for about 14 years. This could be regarding relationships, work, family and home life, finances – you name it, it could be anything where it feels as though the fog is being lifted. That’s not to say we get complete answers yet, that really is coming in 2026, but we must be conscious about what is real and what is not. This new moon was in Libra, Libra is a sign that has to do with beauty, love and pleasure but it also has the important job of diplomat. You need to go through the process in order to have a fair outcome. This is why Libra also rules over the courts and judgements, the system is how Libra comes to its negotiations. Even though Libra likes to be fair, in the end it has to make a choice, and in order for something to be determined as beautiful it must be judged. This is where we see the side of Libra that can act in higher realms and go to both sides and come out with a deal. You can go into a negotiation looking beautiful, but if you don’t know how to close the deal you will never come out happy, Libra always wants to be happy. So what does this have to do with Neptune? Well, we have this new moon and then we get delusional. But the new moon can support us to make sure we don’t lose sight as to what our goal is so we can finally end up feeling like we have accomplished something and go into Neptune in Aries feeling like we made progress. Looking ahead we may see this around the time of the full moon in Aries in about 6 months. So, pay attention to what happens in your life now so you can compare it at the full moon.
This really is a significant time in our lives and we all have something to work on, some story that needs an ending because it’s time for the next chapter. One thing Neptune rules is the seas, and the metaphor I think of is the ship leaving the port, are you the person standing on the dock sad about it or are you the person on the boat celebrating? Either way, now is your chance to change the outcome. If you don’t want to be sad, get on the boat, if you realize you might be celebrating too hard, put the champagne down and take a moment to reflect on where you are and where you are going. It’s not too late, this story is not done being written so go find your happy ending. Well thank you for reading this, I know it’s long and I apologize to anyone who was looking for it yesterday, but I do think life works out the way it is supposed to and I really wanted to get this right.

I hope this Neptune transit clears up any confusion you had over the past few years, remember we are not done, we still have a whole Neptune in Aries transit to get through together. With that said, as always, until we meet again, let the stars guide you on your journey.
