Mercury’s trine to Neptune helps open our minds to possibilities. Ideally, this aspect stirs our imagination, and we may be able to apply it to practical matters creatively. However, Mercury opposes Saturn and forms a quincunx to Jupiter, pointing to some reluctance or blockage related to our communications or transportation. We may face some criticism or delays, or perhaps challenges to our opinions, ideas, or intelligence. Circumstances are such that we may need to tone down our enthusiasm if our plans are lacking, and favor thinking in more practical, realistic terms. We may be struggling with decisions as we flip-flop between alternatives.

Jupiter’s square to Neptune is the second of three, the first of which happened in January, and the final one will occur in September. This influence suggests a struggle with our expectations, faith, and dreams. We’re easily misled whether by others or by our own unrealistic or inflated expectations. We may need to deal with the consequences of disorganization, extravagance, neglect, or exaggeration. The tendency for restlessness magnifies, and routine seems to be particularly unsatisfying now. We need to watch for a tendency to evade and avoid things, as well as for writing ourselves new beliefs or philosophies that justify this avoidance. There can be a lot of wandering, meandering, and lack of groundedness happening with this influence. We might have troubles setting boundaries for ourselves. Spiritual inspiration is a potential, however, as we shed false beliefs, expectations, and paths.

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Sagittarius and is reaching full, with the Full Moon in Sagittarius exact tomorrow morning.
