Aspects of Mercury and Neptune

Mercury – Neptune Conjunction

The native tends to dream and allow their imagination to absorb them. They are an idealist, a fantasizer, endowed with rich imagination and perhaps even psychic abilities. At times, they may decisively lack willpower and gladly simply go with the flow, refusing to take an active part in creating their own path. They are drawn to art and have fairly developed creative talents and abilities in painting, poetry, and especially music. If they do not play a stringed musical instrument, then at least they are drawn to the sounds and melodies those instruments produce. Their music reminds them of the voice of their true home in the spiritual worlds. Because of their impressionability, they can sometimes easily yield to suggestion and be led without their consent, so the power of suggestion has a strong influence on them.

Significant changes are difficult for the native to accept because their motives are unclear to them. There is danger connected with drugs and alcohol, and it is important for them to be wise by staying away from them. They may not have as firm a character as others, and for this reason it is important to pay attention to the influences and working conditions around them. They are not the most stable of people, so they should stay away from negative psychic influences, such as psychic sessions, hypnosis, and fortune-telling.

Their mind does not function in a linear, logical order, and they are often unable to express their thoughts in simple and understandable language. Symbols, images, art, or music can express their ideas better. For this reason, they may not perceive standard book learning as well as learning from someone who can tell or show them something firsthand.

Flights of thought and fantasy carry the native into strange and wonderful worlds, and they could develop the ability to write down some of their impressions in order to share them with others, for example through fantasy, science fiction, stories, or poetry. They are sensitive to nuances and things left unsaid, but may become confused between fiction and the truth of perception. They may have difficulty concentrating on practical and down-to-earth activities and separating truth from fiction. They are drawn to metaphysical and mystical themes and subjects, and there may also be an interest in photography. Nervous problems may occur, so they need to devote a little time each day to silence and peace. This aspect benefits writers, especially romantic writers or authors of adventure novels, as well as musicians and actors.

Mercury in Harmony with Neptune

The native has incredible fantasy and strong visualization. They have dreams and visions that they can make real by practically implementing them in a rational, conscious, and logical way. They are open to metaphysical disciplines such as astrology, telepathy, and various other occult fields, including healing. In fact, they may have the power to heal through the laying on of hands.

They have the ability to engage the subconscious and bring ideas up to the conscious level. Their mind is open to inspiration, with an inclination toward fine art and creativity, poetry, drama, and music. They prefer the artistic world to the scientific one and learn more by absorbing knowledge naturally rather than by forcing themselves through books. They have a love of the sea because of its ability to calm their nerves. Strong intuition and inspiration are characteristic of them, along with sensitivity to higher realms that can be developed and refined even further. They may touch this higher world in their dreams.

Inharmonious Aspects of Mercury with Neptune

The native tends to be very imaginative and very farsighted, but applying thoughts and ideas in a practical, everyday way is difficult for them. Sometimes they may fall into a gloomy mood and give free rein to their imagination. Having visions and wonderful ideas is healthy, but if they cannot realize them in the real world, their usefulness and effectiveness are lost. They need to learn to discipline the mind so that something real can come through their brilliant insights.

When problems become too much for the native, they recreate the situation in their imagination with the ending they prefer, until they convince themselves that the new ending is reality. They may have a tendency to run away from the world and its problems. Their inclination to seek possible refuge in drugs or alcohol only worsens any of their problems in the first place. Although it may be uncomfortable or even painful, they must learn to face their problems, because those problems will not go away if they ignore them.

At times, they are very absent-minded and forgetful, which makes others think of them as a frivolous person. They are not unintelligent; it is simply that their focus and concentration are on another planet. Of course, people must live here on Earth, so it would be wise for them to keep their head in the clouds only when the situation allows it or is appropriate for it.

Communication with others may sometimes be difficult because it is not always clear what exactly the native wants to say, or because they describe things in such a way that no one understands what they are talking about. They need to use their abilities for the artistic expression of their thoughts. The main inability to communicate with other people arises from a lack of concentration. There are also times when they may intentionally try to mislead or deceive others. It is quite difficult for them to hold attention and concentrate on anything for a long time, except, of course, their dream.

A tendency either to believe everything they hear or, conversely, to believe nothing unless there are solid reasons for it is characteristic of the native. They do not see the world around them clearly enough, so they are prone to mistaken conclusions. Their mind is highly creative, and they have dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. They perceive things that some people cannot realize or understand, and along with this they have an amazing ability to read information from people and situations without knowing anything about them. They have a love of mysteries and mysticism; metaphysics and the occult sciences also attract them, but they need to stay away from negative psychic practices such as hypnosis, psychic sessions, and fortune-telling.

There is a need to learn to distinguish truth from fiction and reality from fantasy. At times, the native is accused of lying, and it may sometimes be difficult to understand whether they realize the difference between truth and falsehood or are lying intentionally. A certain clarity of thinking on their part will prevent others from feeling that they are deliberately being misled. They must learn discipline and focus the mind if they want to use all their creative talents.

They are not especially strong in formal book learning, since they tend to absorb knowledge indirectly. It is easier for them to perceive new things through conversations, descriptions, or explanations rather than by trying to read about them and then understand the material. They may have literary talent, since they are excellent at creatively describing objects or situations. They are a wonderful storyteller. They should be careful with the people and environment they interact with, due to heightened sensitivity to vibrations, and as a rule, they absorb the atmosphere around them.  ✓
