Mercury conjunct Neptune

Mercury conjunct Neptune is the most potent combination for poetic and magical thinking. It supplies the native with a gushing well of imagination that knows no bounds. At its most positive, this aspect is fabulous for the artist or musician because it works so well with non-verbal communication.

Neptune is associated with right-brain, non-rational thinking and with Mercury you might imagine that this aspect could cause learning difficulties and foggy recall. This can be true if negatively aspected, but generally, the conjunction seems to be very gifted in glamourising information and showing things in their best possible light. The Instagram filter is your best Mercury/Neptune tool as is the advertiser’s dream application, photoshop.

“ The typical Mercury/Neptune person has a gift for distorting reality. A distortion can be highly creative or dangerously misleading, It’s a common combination for those who work in the media and more especially the advertising industry”

Mercury conjunct Neptune can be very psychic and it is also able to infiltrate the minds of others. Most often this is done by brain-washing with subliminal imagery and romantic, tear-jerking music. You see this done so well within the movie industry and in pop promo videos. It is interesting so many industry songbirds are on the list below, plus a couple of porno stars too. I guess that would show Neptune’s dissolving of boundaries pretty blatantly.

Mercury conjunct NeptuneOf course, lying would be one of Mercury conjunct Neptune’s worse manifestations and this also leads to making one a skilled propagandist. This is not then really the position of the scientist or the engineer as this aspect can so readily make adjustments to the truth. However, social engineering in the form of the Tavistock institute kind would resonate strongly with this archetype.

Mercury conjunct Neptune is a gift to the psychologist as they will be able to read their patient very well. On the other hand, this can also be the narcissist that carefully studies the psyche of their prey so that they can manipulate them. Of course, ‘gas-lighting’ would also be possible too with this aspect.

"Blue is not the colour of my voice
If I would sing in blue
It would drain the oceans

Demolish the pale blue sky
Green is not the colour of my voice
It would deforestate the surface
If I would be singing in green

Red is not the colour of my voice
If I would sing in red
It would be rage and bloodshed
Impossible to stop

So I sing what I sing best
Yes I sing what I sing best
Black
The blackest
Until it gets to the other side
And there's no more
No more darkness left

My voice doesn't sing to have a colour
But if I sing without a colour
I would diminish all the light
There's so much blackness in my repertoire
A lot of shadows in my arsenal

So I sing what I sing best
Yes I sing what I sing best
Black
I use up all the black
The blackest
Until it gets to the other side
And there's no more
No more darkness
left"

Thank you.
I am not even a Scorpio but I do have a lot of Pisces placements and what you explained is exactly how I feel / think or has happened in the past.
I guess my view or experience tends to stay in the dream mode and I don’t manifest it or say anything about it unlike a Scorpio who can sense something and act on it.

I dunno. Hard to explain.

Any Pisces out there ?

I'm Scorpio sun, Venus and Jupiter. I know to trust my intuition - I have been aware of it since I was young. I see it mostly as an animal instinct that humans too often, arrogantly and/or stupidly, separate themselves from. Brainwashing and other control tactics often involve trying to sever people from their natural, helpful protective senses.

Psychic connection with people I care about, at times, yes -- I had confirmation from them both ways (them picking up stuff about me too). It's a natural thing, IMO.

It has been rare for me to experience an out of nowhere sense of another person's emotions, though. That kind of thing is hard to prove, even when it seems to be happening, unless there is confirmation soon after from the other person, of course. Unless it's going to be helpful, somehow, I'd rather not have that happen. But, I have had intuitive senses about people in that way -- there was no emotion to it. A classic many people have experienced is suddenly, for no apparent reason, thinking of someone they haven't for a long time and then there is contact with that person shortly afterward.

I think that psychic ability/intuition is something any sign can have, if they know how to tune in, separating their sense from hope and fear and emotions in general. My mother is very in tune with her intuition yet she only has one planet in water - Jupiter in Cancer. She doesn't even have anything in water houses. She is mostly air (sun and 4 planets in Libra, Aqua moon)

You're welcome! Sorry, my notifications didn't alert me that you replied -- site error I imagine.

Definitely I think Pisces placements can create more of an openness to this, or aspects with Neptune. I have Mercury conjunct Neptune, only about one degree apart, and they aren't in Pisces, they are in Sag, but it creates a kind of Piscean energy to my mental process.

I can, or could -- I'm so out of practice I don't want to make claims about my skills now. I don't have formal training, I just have always enjoyed it and had a sense of rhythm even when very young.

I can't say what does it, except that I have a lot of Venus influences, both Taurean and Libran, which may help with grace and body awareness to some extent, and musicality. I have Mercury conjunct Neptune so closely they are almost fused, both opposite my moon, and sometimes my thoughts are like music videos.

Deception doesn't equal lying or vice versa. I think it's important to be aware of this distinction.
That being said I'd say that mutable can have a less rigid relationship with what is commonly labelled as the truth while some Mercury aspects can lead to the deception thing.
For an example, I have Mercury conjunct Uranus on and exact the IC and Mercury conjunct Neptune and I'd say that I'm a highly deceptive but extremely honest person that almost never lies.
