As Mercury tires of its cosmic vacation and decides to transit through Virgo, it eyeballs Neptune in Aquarius from across the cocktail party of the zodiac and declares, "It's time for a good, old-fashioned opposition." "You" become the soiree as Mercury's analytical prowess and Neptune's fluid illusionism begin a tug of war in your relationship's space-time continuum.
The grit of rational Mercury in Virgo could feel like sand in the swimsuit of your Aquarian Neptune dreams. There's a danger here of over-analyzing your shared visions, of trying to "ground" what needs to breathe and flow. This warns of a risk of feeling like mental mechanics, tinkering tirelessly to render dreams down into detailed Excel spreadsheets. No need to worry. Dream bubbles are not so easily popped.
At the same time, just as one is about to sigh, "Ah, reality - what a buzzkill," the interaction's humor may unravel. Think of it as Mercury, armed with a slide rule and stern spectacles, inadvertently sliding into Neptune's mystery lagoon. The hilarity kicks in as the water sprays and splutters around, as every attempt to calculate the immeasurable leads to more floundering.
