Mercury Sextile Neptune
December 24 - 8:16 pm EST
This is such a mellow, gentle, flow-y aspect. Neptune might be making our communication a little messy, but it’s in a way that feels organic and easeful. Like when you have a long conversation with someone that takes so many tangents you don’t even remember where you got started, but it doesn’t matter because you both feel you gained so much from the journey.
The vibe isn’t serious, it’s relaxed. Conversations will flow when you follow the curious and exploratory energies that arise. Your chats (and thought processes) may not feel very linear, but they aren’t all over the place in a way that feels chaotic or overwhelming.
It’s a great day to watch a cheesy holiday movie, or your favourite show in the fantasy genre. If you’re into tracking your dreams, you may find them easier to recall around this day, more fun to explore, or more vivid in general.
Neptune can heighten our sensitivities and dissolve our boundaries. Mercury + Neptune can manifest on a non-verbal level. Under a cooperative aspect like the sextile, this can mean we’re more attuned to the subtle senses working all around us. That there’s much to be gained when we follow the breadcrumbs being laid out for us by our intuition.
As with any Mercury and Neptune interaction, there is a potential for delays, miscommunications, forgetfulness, and overlooking the finer details. Under a sextile aspect, these obstacles feel surmountable. There is a path to navigate through them, the energies would suggest following your gut rather than looking for any concrete answers. There’s a compassionate quality here, a tone of forgiveness, so whatever mixups transpire might not feel like such a big deal at all.
