Mercury Opposing Retrograde Neptune...

starts on July 26 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on July 26 at 8.03pm in Kilmore, leaves on July 27.  Mercury at 27 degrees and 57 minutes of Leo, retrograde Neptune at 27 degrees and 57 minutes of Aquarius.

Mercury, the planet of communication, information and connecting with the world around us in contact with the emotional, caring and nebulous Neptune through the opposition can be a bit like trying to shine a beam of light through thick fog!

The good news is that the opposition usually indicates a major turning point in a relationship or situation that began or was prominent when Mercury and Neptune were last conjunct late in February 2010 at about 26 degrees of Aquarius.

As usual, look to see where this aspect is happening in your birth chart and which houses Mercury (ones with Gemini or Virgo on the cusp) and Neptune (one with Pisces on the cusp) rule in order to get a feel for what or who may be involved in some confusion right now.

If you have personal planets or points in Leo or Aquarius then you may be more sensitive than others to this energy.
