The angle between Mercury and Neptune in your chart depends on your exact birth time. The interpretations below explain how they interact in your chart, grouped by the kind of aspect they form.
Conjunction: Mercury and Neptune
When Mercury's thinking merges with Neptune's dreaminess, your speech becomes rich but long and foggy, and your wording abstract and blurry. Sometimes you have to work hard to make people understand you. You need conversation partners with imaginative minds, who don't insist on describing everything through logic.
People trust you with secrets. It's no accident that this aspect turns up in the birth charts of psychologists and psychiatrists.
This aspect often creates an interest in the natural sciences, such as medicine, chemistry, and biology, and in any work where you can get at the hidden causes of processes and phenomena.
Harmonious aspects: Mercury and Neptune
This aspect is favorable for creativity and paints your thinking and imagination in the brightest colors. You may have a lovely writing style, good taste, and a fine musical ear. At the same time, the aspect makes the exact sciences harder to grasp and blurs the clear logical connections for you.
The aspect can indicate a dreamy, romantic nature, sensitivity, and tact, especially toward the opposite sex. People with such aspects can set the scene for a relationship beautifully, surround their loved ones with care and attention, and give them the most romantic, unforgettable love affairs, ones that seem to lift them out of reality.
Challenging aspects: Mercury and Neptune
This aspect distorts reality. It stands for a clash between mind and feelings, between reason and imagination. Because of it, people more often make choices that turn out wrong and echo through their future: the wrong career, the wrong business partners, the wrong person to share a life with. A common reason is a poor understanding of what they truly need and want, and of what they're good at and what's within their reach.
At times you're prone to doubt and wavering, and in the end you decide by relying on luck. It's important that wise advisers and mentors, experienced counselors, and real experts in their fields turn up in your life. Otherwise, you'll learn the hard way, through your own trial and error.
You especially need to stay away from alcohol and other addictions.
Mercury and Neptune in two different people's charts describe what happens between those people, rather than how one person works. The same angle reads differently in a relationship: instead of two forces arguing within you, it shows where you touch a nerve in each other.
