Composite Mercury in aspect to Composite Neptune

Mercury Neptune in the composite chart is a strange combination of planetary influences. Mercury represents the principles of the rational mind - precision, orderliness and logic - while Neptune represents the mystical and spiritual principles of the universe, with all their paradoxes and illogic. The effects of Neptune on Mercury are twofold. On the one hand, it can totally neutralize the logic of Mercury, leaving only confusion, self deception and unclear thinking. On the other hand, it can bring to the intellectual perceptiveness of Mercury a higher knowledge of the universe, with which Neptune is ultimately connected.

The first effect brings chaos, the second great sensitivity. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict with certainty which potential will be brought out in a relationship; the two possibilities are equally accessible to you.

Usually it takes the form of overidealization, of confusing what you would like with what actually is. When you eventually confront reality and discover the facts of the matter, you may be extremely disappointed.

The best way to approach the situation is to live in the present in your relationship. Do not anticipate and idealize. If you keep your antenna up and become aware of what is happening, the positive effects of this aspect will be brought out.
