I have Neptune conjunct my Sun and this happens to me too. I have to make an effort to pay attention, otherwise it's like I go blank through the whole conversation. My body and emotions totally respond appropriately to the conversation, but my mind is on cruise control. This is especially annoying at work when my boss is giving me instructions for a project. Same thing happens with reading. My eyes read each word, but if I don't make the effort to pay attention, they will just read each word to nobody. I can read entire chapters and have to go back and read them again because I forgot to pay attention to what I was reading. I can't imagine how hard this is on your Mercury. What house and sign is your Neptune in? IP: Logged |

Exciting! I guess out of all the places it could be, 11th House is a good spot. Groups of friends are more forgiving when you accidentally ignore them. =)

I think its an awesome combination to have! With merc in aspect to both neptune and uranus - you definitely like to think outside the box and I'm sure you are a very intelligent cookie. I'd elaborate but I hate typing on my iphone- it slowly drives me insane lol, so i'll come bk laterIP: Logged |

Could Mercury conj. Neptune point to receiving intuitive messages easier? Esp. since it conjuncts Uranus?IP: Logged |

i have merc conj nept and uranus too but in 4th house. Only recently have i been bad at focusing i guess its some sort of depression thing or my anemic problem hah. I never like doing homework but i'd always get it done last minute if i had to, so i had last minute focus. But i dont zone out of convos, thats too hard cos id feel bad bout not paying attention to someone.------------------ I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.-Poe If the truth is relative then there's nothing that is really true.

I don't like how people are attacking morals and overgeneralising.Lying is also a choice. It's true that creative people might be inclined to lie (from that scientific study) but it doesn't mean all will.

Me too. I procrastinate alot! But then I attributed it to that (the merc aspects) and maybe the libra. I also always want things to be perfect so it takes alot for me to get sth started (cos I don't bother until I get it *just right* (referring to projects/assignments etc). Kinda sucks when that happens.

I have neptune conjunct mercury, I don't have any problem focusing but it doesn't last long. For example in university, when I was studying for exams, I used to lock myself up in my bedroom and never go out before I finish what I had to study. I never gave any breaks to myself because it was hard for me to concentrate again. I could never study in a crowded place like the library because I would get distracted and I find myselfdaydreaming, I wouldn't even notice how much time passed. Sometimes I can't concentrate on what the other person is saying I drift into daydreams very easily. Other than that mercury conjunct neptune makes intuitions stronger in my experience but it may be because of my pisces moon as well.IP: Logged |

I am not overgeneralising,or generalising.I know these people quite well,you see,I have H12 Merc. I can spot them. I carry same potential like them. Attacking morals? Oh,you have the conj? It is a choice. But with Merc/Nep gone bad (which was clear in my question since I was interested in the dark side,and where is dark there is also light side) it passes the realm of choice and goes straight to need,compulsion. Style of living. Sanctimonious reactions are also their thing Oh,the moral that has been attacked! I didn't say creative people lie,but that lies are creative in nature. IP: Logged |

Lies could be creative, sure. Hmm, how else could the it manifest....? Neptune rules the (collective) unconscious, don't it? When it's fused with Mercury, it could become unconscious lying...if that's possible. Is it really a lie when it's not deliberately delivering an untruth? Could also manifest as evasiveness, since Neptune is about dissolution and escapism. When Mercury is in Detriment (like yours truly ), lies aren't quick or clever. Maybe someone with Mercury in Gemini conjunct Neptune was a master liar, back in the Dark Ages or whenever Neptune was in the sign of the twins... Other than lying, this aspect makes your mind passive, receptive, and impressionable. Susceptible to hypnosis. Probably prone to Freudian slips too.

Empirically acquired,intuitively processed. But,I have H3 stellium,so it is hard to tell all those influences apart. Saturn is in H3,as well.IP: Logged |
