When a planet is retrograde, it seems like it's moving backwards in the sky from where we see it on Earth. But this is just how it looks, not how it moves. It's like when you're driving, and a car next to you seems to be going backwards as you pass it. Even though it's just a trick of the eyes, this backward appearance often reflects what we experience during retrogrades. They symbolize a time for thinking about the past, looking inward, and remembering things. Sometimes, they also result in delays or setbacks.
Neptune retrograde occurs from July 2 to December 7, 2024 staying in its home sign, the water sign Pisces, during this period. Let's delve into its effect on these four zodiac signs.

As social butterflies, Geminis usually excel in love and friendships, but they might need to be more strategic in their professional lives. It's important to take time to understand your professional goals and navigate through any confusion.
Perfectionist Virgos should remember that "perfect" love doesn't exist. Romance may feel challenging due to harsh realities in your relationship, but working through these issues can strengthen your bond.
Known as explorers, Sagittarius signs are also emotionally insightful. Neptune retrograde is a good time to focus on your emotional well-being and seek a spiritual connection to stay grounded.
Pisces, the dreamers and empaths of the zodiac, may find it particularly tough during Neptune's retrograde. It's important to address past traumas and wounds to better handle the current challenges.
