Neptune’s influence can do crazy things to our brains. It’s the planet of dreams, which means that it really plays with our subconscious and brings the thoughts that we may usually try to shove underneath to the surface. It’s also the planet of psychic ability-when Neptune comes around, we realize that we can see and sense more than meets the eye. It’s a powerful planet, and if we take the time to connect to its energy, we can see some benefits. On November 16, Mercury forms a square aspect with Neptune, and when the planet of communication combines its energies with the planet of dreams, crazy things can happen! Here are a few things you can expect:
- Your thinking might feel a bit distorted.
You’ll be daydreaming constantly, and the dreams you have at night will be confusing, abstract, and symbolic in nature. You might have no idea what your dreams are trying to tell you, whether you’re awake or asleep. The key is to write it all down, and do some research on dream symbols. If you make an effort to understand what your subconscious is trying to tell you, you can learn some fascinating things about yourself.
- It’s a bad time to do business.
Because your thought process is a bit clouded, you may not be in the best state of mind to make important business decisions. If you have a job interview coming up, think seriously about whether or not this is really the job you want and carefully consider the questions that you should ask your potential employer. If you’re in the midst of any kind of business negotiation, ask for advice from a trusted friend or fellow professional in your field. You don’t want the consequences of a bad business decision to come back to haunt you later.
- Be honest, no matter what.
Remember, everyone feels like they’re on shaky ground right now-it’s definitely not just you. The best thing that you can do to make it a little easier for the people around you is to be honest. Even a little white lie told under this aspect can easily get blown out of proportion and really hurt you and anyone else involved. No matter how hard it is, you owe it to yourself and those around you to tell the truth. It will make everything much easier in the long run, so don’t be afraid.
- People may try to take advantage of you-stay on guard.
Neptune can really open our minds, but the trouble with a totally open mind is that you might accept things that you normally wouldn’t believe. This can include everything from supporting a strange conspiracy theory to falling for a financial scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It’s in your best interest to avoid drugs and alcohol during this time-they will only make you more susceptible to those who might want to take advantage of you. Stay true to what you believe in!
