Dreamy, moody Neptune is on a backspin as of June 13, so prepare for all of your fantasies to come crashing down. Normally when reality hits, Neptune cushions the blow, but while the planet of imagination is in retrograde, you’re flying through life without the aid of your own cosmic air bags. This can be a trying time for relationships, since all of your illusions about your partner are suddenly totally suspended. But if you’ve been struggling with a nasty romance or a flop of a fling for a while now, the next five months could be your best chance to break free for the better! If your dude is a dud, it’s time to put on your big girl pants and call it quits—for good.
1. You’re finally ready to stop making excuses for them. Any lofty illusions that Neptune might have been previously casting on your partner are being lifted right before your eyes, allowing you to see things for what they really are. If you’ve been romanticizing problematic behaviors or excusing abusive tendencies, this is the wake-up call that your soul has been waiting for. Harmful habits that you’ve previously been able to forgive won’t be so easy to forget anymore, which will finally allow you to see who your partner truly is—for better or for worse.
2. Your desires are in total clarity. The daydreams and harmless fantasies that Neptune usually casts are being cleared away to make room for what you really want. Without all of these pleasant potential realities clouding your view, you’re in the perfect position to zero in on what you’re actually looking for in a partner. While Neptune is in retrograde, it’s hard not to notice whether or not a person is who you truly want to be investing your energies in. This is a time to search your soul and ask yourself: Is this a person I really want to continue being with? If the answer is no, then you know what you’ve gotta do.
3. Your intuition has never been stronger. Neptune’s deceptive energies sometimes allow our own intuitions to betray us, but in retrograde, Neptune can only enhance your natural instincts. If you’ve been feeling paranoid or uncertain about your partner or their actions, this is the perfect time to brush aside your fears and anxieties to look at your relationship objectively. Do things still feel “off”? Then trust your gut—because it’s never been more reliable than it is right now.
4. Your dreams will provide incredible guidance. We’re not talking about your recurring fantasies about being swept off your feet by a billionaire philanthropist here—no, when Neptune is in retrograde, we’re talking about those zany hallucinations you have when you’re asleep. At any other time, Neptune’s influence means that you have to take your dreams with a grain of salt and dig deep to find meaning in them, but right now, your subconscious is ultra-connected to reality and it will show. Meditate on your relationship before you go to bed and be ready to write down anything you remember as soon as you wake up. Your subconscious will help you light your path and plan your next moves in this tumultuous time.
5. You have the power to break things off neatly. If your heart is saying it’s time to mosey on out into greener pastures, there’s no denying it: a breakup is inevitable. But thanks to Neptune’s retrograde state, what could be a really messy conversation doesn’t have to be. If you’ve searched yourself over and found yourself wanting, then now more than ever you understand yourself, your needs, and where you want to be. This will help you sever your ties like an adult—clean and efficient, no muss, no fuss.
6. Your next relationship will be as honest and true as they get. Breaking off something that just isn’t working right now means that you’re free to find new love—and while Neptune’s deceptive vibes are on hold, this retrograde will allow you to move into something fresh with a clear head! When Neptune comes out of retrograde on November 19, reality will seem softer, and you’ll find yourself awash with a whole new wave of the romantic love you deserve.
