Surviving the Retrogrades.... Advice for the Elements

We now have two planetary giants retrograde in the same sign; Saturn since Saturday, day ruled by this planet, and now Neptune, starting today.

The energy moving about the collective is heavy, dense and full of illusion at this time. There is a lot of density within moving within the collective subconscious. This is to propel us into a clearer future. However, we must first move through the fog, patiently, diligently, knowing that the clarity with seek is coming.

With that being said, I have provided advice below on how to make the most of these transits. The advice is based on Pisces placements within a an element being fire, earth, water or air. Fire rules the 1st, 5th and 9th house of the birth chart. Earth rules the 2nd, 6th and 10th house. Air rules the 3rd, 7th, and 11th house. Lastly, water rules the 4th, 8th and 12th house. As always, this advice is intended to be guidance only. You have free will. Take what resonates and leave the rest behind.

May these transits illuminate you from the inside out.

Advice for the Elements During These Transits

If you have Pisces in a fire house (1st, 5th, or 9th): 

This transit will feel electrifying, with the push and pull between fire and water significantly felt within your body. You might feel impulsive and impatient, and emotions—either your own or those of people around you—might feel particularly volatile. It is essential for you not to take life too seriously during this transit. Spirit is coming through to take you on a ride. Neptune has special activations waiting for you, but you need to loosen your grip on how you believe your life should be unfolding right now. Some of you might feel you should be more advanced than you are, while others might feel lost. Whatever you are feeling about yourself and your journey, take a pause. Give spirit the reins for now. Listen for key insights and downloads. Quiet your mind and see the jewels within your emotional experiences. Your emotions will be key guides at this time. Don’t judge them. Let them flow. Let the current of life take you out to sea. A new destination is on the horizon, but first, you must jump into the journey with both feet. Allow spirit to have their way.

If you have Pisces in an earth house (2nd, 6th, or 10th):

This transit invites you to ground what you know. Share the insights, wisdom, and knowledge you have gained during your journey so far. Many of you have been on an intense healing journey, experiencing deep spiritual and mystical moments through meditation, breath work, or plant medicine. This transit invites you to create something where you can share your richness. Allow the divine to inspire you. This could be through creating art, storytelling, or becoming more active within your community in a way that lights up your soul. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. The world is ready for what you have to share. Allow this transit to crack you wide open. You have much gold to give.

If you have Pisces in an air house (3rd, 7th, or 11th): 

You might feel conflicted during this transit, going back and forth between your mind and your heart. Fogginess and uncertainty about how to move forward with your life may arise. Now is not the time to make last-minute decisions if possible. Rather, it is a time to slow down and allow more rest into your life. Engage in activities you enjoy, such as reading, practicing yoga, or spending time in nature. Any routines or practices where you drop into your physical vessel will be beneficial. This transit invites you to spend more time being rather than doing, as the energy around you will not be clear. Forcing yourself to make decisions may result in setbacks. Slow down and take your time. Delay big decisions to give yourself time to reflect calmly, preferably in nature. You will know in your heart when you have the clarity to make a decision.

If you have Pisces in a water house (4th, 8th, or 12th):

You might feel as though you are dying under these transits. Neptune retrograde in Pisces will not be easy. Any delusions you have been feeding yourself will surface for you to deal with. While others may experience illusion and fogginess, your sight will be relatively clear. However, you will be asked to introspect deeper than ever, as water rules our emotions and hidden memories. This transit will take you on an inward journey. If things are chaotic in the outside world, this is an invitation to turn inward. Spend time in meditation, quiet reflection, and journaling. Write down your dreams and observe what comes up. This is a period of observation. Simply notice patterns, habits, and tendencies without judgment. You are being shown what you need to see, but it is not the entire picture just yet. Practice patience and do not let your emotions overwhelm you. Remain centered and grounded. This transit will be beneficial for you in the long run.
