From June 23 to November 29, 2020, Neptune will be in retrograde motion.
All the outer planets turn retrograde every year for a prolonged period of time. Neptune generally remains retrograde for about 158 days. On November 29, it will finally turn direct again.
The Sun is moving into Cancer, at the Summer Solstice, June 21, 2020. The constellation of the Crab may be inconspicuous, but none is more significant!
Mercury, the smallest and fastest moving planet, goes ‘retrograde’ 3 times a year. ‘Retrograde’ literally means ‘moving backward’.
After an all too brief sojourn in its own sign Mercury moves on, into the watery sign of Cancer. In this sign, Mercury is a bit hampered.
Fiery Mars is moving into watery Pisces. Expect a lot of steam, foam, and frothing at the mouth. Pisces is not a very comfortable sign for Mars. It dissipates his energy. Pisces is so boundless and often in two minds about things that Mars here cannot be effective in pursuing anything in his usual direct, go-getting manner.
Mercury rules Gemini and is more than happy to return to his own domain. Here, Mercury feels light and breezy. He jokes and makes light of things that other signs may find distressing. Joking is a form of self-protection. Mercury’s approach to resilience.
