Mercury and his karmic and evolutive valence - 3 part








Edited by Paolo Crimaldi



Up to now we have seen the transits of Chiron and Uranus in aspect to the Radical mercury, while in this new article we go deeper into those of Neptune.
The transits of Neptune in aspect to Radical mercury are particularly important to understand the spiritual and evolutive dynamics which an individual must face during his/her existence.

We should immediately say that when speaking of spirituality this does not necessary mean the relationship with a divine being, but the acquisition of a vision of it that becomes less material, or fatalist and assumes a connotation that is a little more free of scientific and rational dogmatism. In other words the person assumes a greater consciousness of a determinate problem and acquires a greater propensity to solve it through intuition rather than reason.

The transit of conjunction between Neptune and Radical mercury can lead to the acquisition of a greater intuitive ability and to openness to particular perceptive channels that can also lead to exceptional experiences, like profound intuitions about the nature of a person or of a thing, if not absolutely real visionary episodes.
But more often this transit favours the acquisition of a particularly wide and holistic vision of existence and can lead to those particular and rare experiences that humanist psychologists have called peak experiences, top experiences, or a particular total openness and consciousness , of the duration of a fraction or depending on whatever provides a turning point in our existence, managing to also to transform it in overall terms.

At a karmic level the transit can lead to the recovery of fragments of preceding lives, or even real memories of the emotions, sensations, manners of thinking that can provide explanations on some aspects of the present existence. In some cases, especially for those who in their own natal chart have strong values in the Water signs, there can be a kind of openness of an energy channel that can let us enter the Akasha chronicle, or rather to that place in which things are kept all in the past, present and future memories of the whole universe.

When the Neptune transit forms dissonant aspects with natal Mercury, it is very probable that an individual could have inherent problems in understanding what he/she is going through, just as he/she may have the sensation of having lived the events, of no longer having the ability of acting and conditioning his/her own life. In some cases it is probable that memories, emotions, inherent sensations regarding the past existence appear on the surface, that they tend to impose themselves on present ones and to confuse the person, before giving him/her a life sensation that is out of time and space.

Lastly, the harmonic aspects of the transits of Neptune to Mercury radix can involve particularly happy and creative moments for the persons concerned and sometimes there is the possibility of being able to easily things that up to a moment beforehand were blocked or were lacking the right input would not let it work.
From a spiritual standpoint this transit can involve a great opportunity of bringing a vision of life that is close to being spiritual, if not mystic, learning to pay greater attention to coincidences, to those synchronised events that often open us up to a wider and fuller vision of our own existence. But we must not, however, forget that in persons who have no earth values in their natal chart, the same transit can lead to an excessive amount of attention being paid to the psychic and imaginary reality, moving further away from the practical aspects of life and risking situations that can put hard earned certainties at risk.

Therefore, during the transit of Neptune in harmonic aspect to Mercury it would always be better never to make important decisions which regard the practical questions, for example deciding to change job and follow our instincts, or getting involved in a new love affair and thus abruptly leaving our partner. In this period, which at times lasts even more than a few years, it is always advisable to wait for the end of the transit to make any decisions that regard practical questions.
