Neptune in aspect to your Yearly MERCURY Solar return chart

Suggests working with the less clearly defined psychological drives such as compassion, creativity, and spirituality. 

Your sensitivity to subtle emotional connections among all people increases your concern for certain individuals in particular and humanity as a whole. You are able to acquire information through intuitive and psychic insights. 

Dealing with these subtle themes can lead to some uncertainty and confusion in the thinking process. Increased intuitive or psychic awareness can precede the ability to weigh this information for its accuracy. 

It is sometimes difficult to discriminate between what is really psychic and what is more closely akin to worry, fear, or false hope. It is al so difficult to find practical applications for idealistic concepts and inspirations which are represented by this combination. Therefore, stress can sometimes be associated with Mercury-Neptune aspects, even with the more spiritual manifestations. 

Important factual information that you receive during the year may be partial, in-accurate, or vague. Sometimes secrecy and deception play a role. Your normal points of reference for evaluating information may be changing. Without adequate facts, you may be left hanging for most of the year. It may be impossible for you to make a decision at this time or to evaluate your circumstances definitively. You may be easily confused or misled, especially if the information you receive is in-consistent or incomplete. In older individuals, confusion and forgetfulness may actually be senility or dementia. Neptune's most negative interpretation is a loss of mental capabilities through drug and alcohol use or abuse. This tends to be an uncommon manifestation that is more closely associated with an individual pattern of consistent negative behavior. Most people will not fall into this trap. 

Put your trust in a Higher Power during times of uncertainty. Focus on compassion rather than a search for mundane truth. Understand that in the end, all will be known and understood. Be gentle with yourself when you are not as focused and detail-oriented as you used to be. Mercury-Neptune aspects can indicate a call to the right-brain, creative, artistic, intuitive, and spiritual processes. It may be time for development in these areas. Go with the flow of consciousness and open to a whole new way of knowing and perceiving.
