Mercury sextile Neptune
Mercury sextile Neptune: imagination available to the mind on request, an opening for writing, music and intuition when it is cultivated.
Meaning
Imagination enters thought through a side door here rather than flooding it. Stories, images and hunches become usable when a channel is ready for them.
How thinking meets imagination: intuition, poetic or visual thought, and the boundary between inspiration, vagueness and deception.
Imagination feeds your thinking gracefully. You can describe atmospheres, write persuasively about intangible things and sense what someone means behind their words. You may learn best through stories, images or music rather than lists.
In practice
A sextile rewards initiative. The link is there, but it tends to stay dormant unless you use it — take the class, make the call, try the combination. People often discover their sextiles once they start acting on small openings.
