The Extended Mercury - Neptune Conjunction


The following is a copy of my daily forecast for March 22, 2019, and it's goes a little more into depth about the current Mercury - Neptune conjunction, within 1° of exactitude from today through April 4. Since this aspect is usually only valid for a day or two, it's quite rare for it to last for two weeks, so I wanted to save this forecast for your reference.


Much like the previous two even-numbered days, the Moon is busy making contacts with most if not all of the solar system. Today, everyone but the Sun gets contacts from the Moon today, keeping the current planetary aspects active, such as the Venus – Mars – Jupiter configuration, the Mercury – Saturn sextile, and the upcoming Mercury – Neptune conjunction, exact on the 24th.
The conjunction of Mercury and Neptune is going to last for a while – MUCH longer than the usual day or two. This is because Mercury is towards the end of his current retrograde period, readying to turn back around in just six days, and moving forward very slowly at first. Long story short, Mercury will remain within one degree of Neptune until the 4th of April.
That is close to two WEEKS.
Breaking this down: Mercury conjunct Neptune, in some ways, feels like Mercury retrograde itself, because this aspect also encourages us to think in a different fashion from the norm, usually from a linear way of perception to a more abstract way.
Add to this the fact that Mercury is in Pisces, a sign ruled by Neptune.
This can be a good thing, however, as it helps us to be more creative in the way we communicate with others. This will come in handy during the moments when our usual communications are less effective than they normally would be.
