This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.
Mercury rules the mind, mental energy and the power of mental pursuasion. Mercury is the sign of mental telepathy, the thinking mind and things compart-mental-ized in the mind. Neptune is the planet of imagination, fantasy and illusion, which can often turn into delusion when the separation between fact and fiction are not realized.
A challenge to Neptune would be like an individual unable to tell the difference between a scene in a movie and a scene in their own Life. When Mercury squares (challenges) Neptune it makes it difficult for the mind to discriminate. Thoughts become confused and vague. The imagination gets in the way of logical and rational thinking. This also makes an individual absentminded, where the mind really is absent. This is like the 'absent minded professor'.
