The heart of Mercury opposition Neptune: one sentence version

Opposition Hang two planets at opposite corners of the astrolabe, like looking at each other across a table: the keenness to speak clearly and the group of desires that are always showing the picture remind each other and pull each other. Your words often go back and forth between “accurately speaking” and “beautifully spoken” - if they change hands and change smoothly, the two feed each other; if they get stuck, what you say does not match the draft in your mind.

What each planet wants

What Mercury wants is that the words should match: ask clearly, explain clearly, and communicate with evidence. What Neptune wants is the whole package of unopened desires: atmosphere, dreams, unnamed yearnings. Opposition allows you to be a translator between two languages ​​in this relationship: documents and dreams each use their own words, and you understand both. The price is the days of changing the wrong channel - making promises when it’s time to sign a contract, and memorizing the terms when it’s time to perform.

The feeling of hard aspect: three specific scenes

1. You were fascinated when listening to others describe the plan. You had quietly filled in the parts he didn’t explain. Only when you finally checked did you find that you had filled in some of the parts near and far.
2. To describe the same thing, you can come up with two versions: one to explain clearly, and one to describe the picture. Which version you use often determines whether the listener believes it or not.
3. On days when conditions are negotiated, your manuscript and your dream take turns to be on stage. When you go home at night, you always have to check the account yourself to feel at ease.

Immature and mature expressions

The immature version treats the other person as a rival: if the words are trivial, they will let go of the whole paragraph, if they are afraid that the dream will be dismantled, they will not say it at all, and they will hold each other down and drag them down. The mature version allows both ends to perform their own duties - the inspiration is first written down as a draft, and then the words are turned into a confirmable version before being sent out; the unattainable wishes are also frankly marked as wishes and not packaged into conclusions.

Orb and priority: 180 degrees, natal convention within 7 degrees

The natal orb is grasped at 7 degrees in the opposition square. The error is established within 7 degrees. The narrower the pull at both ends, the clearer the pull and the earlier the order. Mercury travels about one or two degrees a day and circles the zodiac once a year. Various distances appear in turn. Which one falls on you depends on the day of your birth. Neptune is a sign that lasts for about fourteen years, and that layer is the background shared by the same batch of years; to read it as your personal theme, it needs to be matched with a closer angle and other indicators of the entire chart.
