Feeling dreamy and a little spaced out? You’re not alone. As Mercury opposes Neptune on September 8, communication may feel like it’s taking place underwater. Though this transit is fleeting (in effect September 7-9), it would be wise to work with the softening effects of Neptune rather than try to swim upstream.
Logic and common sense may not be the best tools of choice now, because trying to get your point across in a factual, systematic manner may just end up leaving you confused and frustrated. However, this doesn’t mean you need to keep your mouth shut while this transit is in effect.
Instead, you can tap into the power of Neptune’s magic through poetry, dreams and metaphor. Say what you mean by painting a picture with words, or make up a song, rhyme or rap to get your ideas across. Tap into your rhythmic, unconscious mind to draw on your intuitive power of imagination and dream up a new vision of reality.
Though this transit can help you to tap into your romantic side, it can also breed confusion and misunderstandings. So try not to hear just what you want to hear when it comes to relationships. Instead, stay open to understanding others at a deeper level. You may want so badly to believe in the story you create in your mind that you make up a fantasy that has no basis in reality.
If you must have important conversations during this time, make sure that you put facts and agreements in writing, as the potential for misunderstanding is great. Even better, use this time to brainstorm and wait to make more formal decisions once the transit has passed.
