Mercury square Neptune is a crisis between the story/sales pitch versus the illusion or belief. Neptune blurs the facts and creates disbelief, so the story is exaggerated and suspect. This aspect can be about outright lies or seeing something that is not real (the illusion).
If you find yourself questioning a “truth,” keep asking – the initial words have been distorted. If what you see looks grand and expansive, treat it as a nice picture but don’t rely on it.
Fortunately, Mars/Saturn adds a bit of reality to help with the above. Intensive, authentic actions (Mars) will be grounded and focused by the rules. Slow, determined effort can take you in the right direction, even if you’re questioning what direction that is. It will be better to rely on actions than intellect- stick with what you can physically take stock of rather than unproven words. Silent, purposeful work will take you further than pretty declarations.
Mars in Scorpio is deep motivation – tapping into the unconscious and making it visible. Saturn makes it real while restraining all-or-nothing impulses. This is sober, serious energy that asks you to push things just a bit further while applying discipline and total commitment.
Note the contrast in the energies – Mercury/Neptune is external and expansive while Mars in Scorpio contracts and is internal. Actions penetrate through the levels until you hit hidden reservoirs of strength/resources/authenticity. Mercury/Neptune may be distracting, but Mars will show you the truth. Rely on your physical senses, no matter what you hear or see.

Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (21°)
Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15°)
Venus/Pluto is the intensification of defined desires. Pluto adds a “must have” quality to a relationship, financial or self- esteem issue. The intensity of what you want or love will teach you about your personal limits: how far are you willing to go and how much control are you willing to give up? The truth of what you want will be excavated so there’ll be no room for denial. This could be about a total commitment or total ending and transformation (aspects to Pluto often indicate a metaphorical death).
Neptune can enable Mars’ actions as a smooth flow of motivation with zero resistance. It will be easy to dive deeply into something, so this energy can enable healthy and not so healthy actions. Just because an aspect (the trine) is harmonious, doesn’t mean that the outcome is always positive. You really have to look at what you’re doing and why. On the plus side, Neptune can encourage Mars in Scorpio’s deeply compassionate or healing efforts as boundaries are dissolved.
Overall, this is about serious actions (Mars) and attraction (Venus). There’s the potential to go deeper than you ever have, regarding what you want and what you’re prepared to do to get it. As noted, efforts will be easy but that may or may not be a good thing. What you end up with will reveal the true power or transformative potential in a relationship or resource.

Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)
Venus in Capricorn sextile Mars in Scorpio (9 deg)
Mercury/Pluto indicates words with harmonious power. Mercury in Scorpio is already focused on what’s beneath the surface, and when you add Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) you get authentic information that slides into your awareness. Words make a quiet impact.
Mercury/Pluto first made this sextile on Oct 19th at 20 deg, and then again on Nov 9th at 20 deg (when Mercury was RX). So this will be the conclusion of something that’s been brewing since October.
Mars/Venus harmonizes actions with attraction- efforts that tap into the deepest motivations (and are focused, passionate, authentic) can net you something favourable. Dig deep and you can manifest formal expressions of love, money or values. The overall theme is commitment: this is a quiet aspect but the energy is profoundly serious.
In general, today is excellent for confirming what you want while committing to undeniable truths.

Venus conjunct the Capricorn South Node (8 deg)
Mars in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (8 deg)
Venus over the SN is a culmination or ending involving a relationship, money, self-esteem or values. What you want/love will be defined, and it could be something from the distant past. This is about a mature commitment to what’s desired, or a mature acceptance that something is concluding.
In some cases, there could be a romantic connection with strong karmic energy; a meeting with someone from a past life with a sense of inevitability and instant seriousness.
Either way, it should be favourable because Mars is activating the North Node (path forward). So you’ve got intensive, passionate actions moving you forward. You’re not stuck (if you don’t want to be) and the key is “take action.” Efforts should flow forward easily, providing they are authentic.
To sum up these aspects, consider what you can do with what you want/own and how you can develop your situation further. The North Node always develops South Node energies, rather than cancelling them out. So you’re looking at how tradition/rules can be progressed to something emotionally authentic and satisfying.
