    Superficial affiliations feel less important as Neptune amplifies Aquarius’s egalitarian energy. This transit also brings a new wave of spirituality and encourages people to consider what’s good for everyone as a whole (not just themselves).
    • This transit is a time for acceptance and realizing all people and all things are connected.
    • In retrograde, Neptune in Aquarius brings inner clarity. Neptune is dreamy and cloudy normally, so when it reverses direction, it’s a time for insight (unlike when other planets go retrograde).
