It
is important when delineating an aspect between transiting Neptune to Mercury
to take a close look at how Mercury is aspected in the birth
chart. The natal aspect can either soften the transit or challenge
it, regardless of what the current transiting aspect might be.
For
example, if Mercury is trine to Jupiter, sextile to the Sun, and conjunct Venus
in the birth chart, any transiting aspect would not be very
challenging. If, however, Mercury is square to Saturn, in opposition
to Uranus and also square Neptune, this would cause great stress when activated
through transit or progression regardless of the transit aspect. Any
aspect to Mercury in the birth chart will also be activated during this
transit, especially so if in close aspect by degree of separation in the birth
chart.
It
is also necessary to look at the house Neptune is currently transiting as well
as its placement in the birth chart, as this will help define what area of life
is being affected.
With this information at hand, a
conjunction between Mercury and transiting Neptune can be quite difficult to
handle. As Mercury rules the mind and thinking process, analytical
abilities can be misunderstood or unclear. You can be “way off” in
your assessment of a situation and restructuring of your life is not
recommended until this transit is over. Decision-making can be
clouded and if connected to business, you may not be getting the proper
information or someone could be deceiving you. Others may also have
trouble making sense of what you might be trying to convey as well.
On the positive side of this aspect, the
mind is now open to the subtle influences of mystical and inspirational
messages from beyond. You could experience amazing clarity with
visions as your mind is more open to such things. Your intuitive
faculties are highlighted and although you might have found something very
significant (unless others are in the same vibrational frequency and open to
mystical events), you might want to keep this information to yourself as they
may simply not be ready to hear what you now understand.
The energy of the square between these two
planets is similar to when the thinking process is off or
vague. Your mental focus will be off, and what you think may be way
off as well. It is wise not to make any important decisions during
this period as mistakes can have profound effects. You most likely
are not seeing things clearly and it is easy to misjudge important
matters. Communication with others has its challenges as well and misinformation
can be taken as truth and disillusion could be the result.
You may also find that you worry about
outcomes during this time or feel confused or even depressed. It is
important to recognize that this is a result of the influence of Neptunian
energies and the tests that you are experiencing will eventually lead to
clarity and understanding.
The opposition aspect is often related to
misinformation or lost communication with others. Other people are
usually involved in the equation. This could involve partnership,
family, friends, acquaintances, and even co-workers. There seems to
be a misunderstanding, and you may have quite the time getting things in proper
perspective. It is usually about communication or false information
and it may lead to actions that are not suggested. You may jump to
conclusions or mistrust others. Knowing that this is a possibility
is a wonderful tool.
The trine and sextile aspects can be very
inspirational and offer potential insight into the workings of the
subconscious. You may find answers to questions you have been
searching for, for quite some time. You may come to understand the
hidden universal language spoken only by a few. This can be an
awakening time and is very noteworthy as you can easily recognize the
difference between illusion and creative thinking. Dreams could also
be inspirational and you could use these tools for writing a book or to going
deeper into meditation. You could also share this information with
like-minded individuals.
This can be quite a magical time and an
open mind is suggested so that the information can come through.
