Neptune, the planet of spirituality and intuition, moves directly into Pisces on December 3.

However, once Neptune is direct in Pisces, the old retrograde feelings of clarity and discernment can begin to slip away from us if we’re not careful.
“Now that Neptune is direct, it’s up to us to maintain that intuitive, spiritual discernment that we gained from the retrograde period,” Simmons says. “Part of that is not falling back into old habits or perspectives that don’t help us stay grounded. It’s important to fantasize and have hope, but don’t forget to take off the rose-colored glasses to get back to your reality. Integrate your discernment, intuitive understandings, and retrograde realizations under the guidance of the Neptune stations. By doing so, you may feel more enlightened and in touch with your world.
