Print article - Week’s Mercury Opposite Neptune in Your Natal Chart

For the duration of this week Mercury will be in an opposition aspect to Neptune in our solar system. Although Mercury’s orbit around the Sun is only 88 Earth days long, it takes around a year for the planet of communication to go through the whole zodiac from a geocentric perspective, due to Mercury’s retrograde periods. This is a special aspect because it only happens once per year.

Mercury opposite Neptune is especially significant this Wednesday the 25th of August, when it is exact and at it’s strongest energetically. Making it all the more potent, are the fact that both Mercury and Neptune will be in the signs the rule: Mercury will be in Virgo and Neptune will be in Pisces.

While Mercury is the planet of intelligence and logic, he’s in Virgo and this brings our mental sharpness down to earth in dealing with all things practical and useful. In stark contrast to this, Neptune symbolises imagination and intuition. In Pisces this is expressed through the realms of emotions and kindness; we have to balance the right side of our brain with the left this week, so we can use this opportunity for useful yet soulful manifestations. Find your Ascendant sign in the list below to find out which areas of your life this opposition will be highlighting this week.

Aries Ascendant

You are ‘all systems go’ this week as you become a powerhouse, thinking up various ways you can increase your productivity both at home and at work. You know you will need to take a very well-earned rest so you don’t experience burnout, so do just that.

Taurus Ascendant

This week you are feeling super creative and you have no trouble adding new techniques to your arts through your hobbies and work. However you feel a greater urge to put yourself out there and you imagine ways you can. Now it’s time for action!

Gemini Ascendant

If you are analysing how you can invite more harmony and love into your home life right now, you are likely coming up with some amazing ideas. You are also very aware this also needs to spill over into your career, so follow your intuition and that creative process!

Cancer Ascendant

This week for you is about communications, thinking and studying. Your tasks are either logical analysis, speaking or writing. How can you use your image and your higher knowledge to push yourself to do great? Philosophically, you have all the answers!

Leo Ascendant

Your mind is on your income this week and on creating ways to increase this. You wonder what you can do to attract more clients or an upgrade at work and you are able to imagine some real genuine and artistic ways of achieving this. Find that balance by making this priority a goal.

Virgo Ascendant

Perhaps it is time to go ahead and start that new routine this week to improve your image and ultimately, your dating game. If you’re already in a relationship, you may be thinking about how you can improve your joy by having some creative fun with your looks. Why not?

Libra Ascendant

You may be feeling somewhat dazed and confused lately while you become aware that some alone time in your own bubble is the best way forwards. How can you tap into your spiritual side to make your daily routines intuitively easier and more suited to you?

Scorpio Ascendant

You’ve been concocting practical ways to help yourself feel good this week and may have even started a new routine in doing so. Friends are on your mind as are social groups that bring you pleasure and fun, so take that leap and send some invitations!

Sagittarius Ascendant

Your career and your future are very much on your mind this week as you come up with ways you can progress and succeed in life. You are inventive and imaginative, but remember you must not forget your home life in the process. Perhaps your family can help you?

Capricorn Ascendant

Whatever is going on in the world is somehow drawn to your attention and you realise just how much the world needs to stick together. Are there ways you can help? Our beliefs are so important and so is the way we communicate these. Follow your dreams and your intuition.

Aquarius Ascendant

You may find you have to deal with banks or other financial institutions this week, which is fine as you are feeling motivated, but you might have to wait on that physical cash coming your way. You need it right now but you may have to be a little patient.

Pisces Ascendant

Now is a time to work on your personal relationships and focus on ways you can improve them and overcome obstacles within them. How are you going to communicate yourself genuinely to create the best impact? Being gentle and caring now are important.
