MERCURY OPPOSING NEPTUNE

This aspect depicts conflict which, when resolved, results in growth. Oppositions show a tug of war between opposing forces. If they are resolved, then the oppositions become the backbone and strength of the chart.

It is important to understand that Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. Mercury is intellectual, it is the thinker, while Neptune is in-tune. Think of Neptune as being intuitive, in-tune and tuning in like a Tune-Ah-Fish, since Neptune is the ruler of Pisces (the fish).

This aspect reveals you can be easily seduced into believing other people's ideas, which means you may be confused in your own thinking and can therefore be easily deceived. You need to trust your own thoughts rather than relying on the thoughts of others. This also means you are 'sensitive' to the thoughts, ideas and motivations of others.

While this aspect is mentally telepathic, it is unconsciously telepathic, which makes it easy to fall into deceit or trickery by others. Do not believe everything you see or hear. Smack yourself and open your eyes! At the same time, it could be you who is attempting to out-think, gaslight or out-maneuver someone else where you could be the one who is deceitful or the trickster.

This is the aspect of false illusions and smoke screens. Wave your arms around and wake yourself up! This can cause you to become irresponsible and easily fooled. Mercury opposing Neptune is the classic placement for having your head in the clouds. Not seeing is believing with this aspect.

The opposite positions of Mercury and Neptune show communication is marked with creativity and imagination, a vivid imagination that is not always dependable. Competition is an obstacle that poses a problem for you.

You are at your best when you don't have to look back over your shoulder and worry about what your competitor is doing. Your advancement may be impeded by a tendency to dream and scheme a little too much. Beware of a tendency to be deceived or to deceive with this placement.
