MERCURY SEXTILE NEPTUNE

This is an easy aspect showing cooperation between two planets which leads to opportunity. It has a positive blending effect on the planets. Sextiles are considered a "soft" or "easy" aspects that reflect the planets involved. They have a way of delivering you an opportunity. It's as if the phone is ringing or there is a knock at the door. Again, it is your choice to answer the opportunity. Opportunities can reveal themselves under the strangest of circumstances.

It is important to understand that Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. Mercury is intellectual, enjoys learning, teaches and is communicative. 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). Neptune is intuitive, spiritual, musically inclined, dreamy, imaginative and artsy. Neptune has both dreams and visions; therefore, it is considered 'the visionary'.

I find this to be a very interesting and wonderful aspect that these two planets can come together and make peace. Mercury naturally rules Virgo and Gemini, while Neptune naturally rules Pisces. Virgo and Pisces naturally oppose each other, while Gemini and Pisces naturally square each other. Gemini and Virgo rule the conscious and reasoning mind, while Pisces rules the unconscious and imaginative mind. Read more in my Astrology Aspects eBook - click the graphic below!
