Neptune Retrograde in Pisces 2025: The final phase of healing

As Neptune retrograde returns to Pisces on October 22, the universe delivers a powerful reset, one that invites reflection, surrender, and release.

After briefly stepping into Aries, Neptune drifts back into its home sign of Pisces to finish what it started more than a decade ago. Think of it as the final rinse in a long spiritual cleansing. 

This retrograde ensures to turn our gaze inward. It asks: What illusions are you still clinging to? What comforting dreams or distractions are stopping you from showing up in your real life?

Earlier, while Neptune was retrograde in Aries, the energy was about finding clarity and reclaiming your personal drive, your “inner fire.”

Now, in Pisces, that same process takes a softer form. Instead of action, it’s about trust. Instead of pushing forward, it’s about letting go. Together, Aries and Pisces form a balance--one ruled by courage, the other by surrender.

Over the coming months, you may feel your motivation slow down or sense a pull to retreat and reflect. Don’t mistake this pause for a setback. It’s a chance to realign with what truly matters before the next phase of your journey begins.

Collectively, Neptune’s retrograde holds deep significance. It marks the transition into a new 14-year chapter as Neptune prepares to move fully into Aries and, in a broader sense, the beginning of the next 165-year Neptune cycle. The message is to act intentionally, and bring your spiritual vision into form.

As Neptune re-enters Pisces, it performs one last sweep--clearing out emotional clutter, illusions, and false ideals. It’s the universe’s way of asking you to collaborate with your imagination, not escape into it. To dissolve the final barriers between your higher self and your everyday reality.

By the time Neptune settles into Aries again, you will feel clearer, braver, and more in tune with the truth of who you are.
