Hahahahah - I feel like I'm playing a reverse game of YA jeopardy - lol.  Go to astro.com and plug in your stats for a free natal chart.  Are you sure Neptune is in Scorpio? What degree is your sun, mercury & neptune in Scorpio?  What house also? Any other planets in Scorpio?

The conjunction of mercury & neptune gives you the gift of clairvoyance.  Okay, the 3rd house makes more sense & also gives more credence to the clairvoyance - bet this isn't the 1st time this has happened to you. Is your sun there also and what degree?

Jung's interpretation is right on the money here, Laro.

Hi LaRo

Mercury automatically makes this person obstinate and hard to convince. The mind is active and somewhat sarcastic. Usually this position inclines a person to love secrecy with a mind to understand mysteries as well. It gives good manual dexterity and a good train of thought backed by concentration.

With Neptune, it enhances the occult side even to the point of clairvoyance or second sight. This depends on the person and his power to pursue such avenue.

House and aspects often indicate the quality of expression.

Mercury 's degree shows a mind that is often on the defensive side, yet forceful and alive.

Neptune's degree shows you as a charitable person and very humane, generous. This is the Sun's decanate through Leo.

edit....So you found the locksmith for the 3rd house (Grin)

If they are in conjunction, it is a good aspect for mystic communication but usually, the person is more often than not, artistically inclined or it can give an excessive and uncontrolled imagination.

Mercury gives a studious mind when in the 3rd house as this is also Mercury's natural placement by house rulership. One can expect a nervous temperament. This person wants to know the "WHY" of everything. The head rules everything - the mind rules the emotions.

With Neptune here, the imagination is strong and gives good creative writing skills but not always on a practical level. You can even be secretive about sharing certain thoughts with others. The mind has a touch of idealism which is why it is often found in film-makers, screenwriters and artists of all kind.

edit... thanx Janet.

Answer 3

Really perceptive and intuitive in a kick butt kinda way, especially in the 3rd house.  Also, you prolly have bros or/and sisters that are doing something interesting in your life.  Could be a psychologist or mental health worker if you were inclined.

On the negative side, there is a tendency to obsess and worry.  Can have bouts of anxiety and mental illness, too.

Answer 4

Hazy thinking (Merc Conjunct Nept) just took on ____ shades of venom _______ or the highest of ideals of the human mind depending on the ladder of development the Scorpio is occupying at the moment.  Scorpio grows through 3 stages of Achetypes in his life -  from the ground-crawling Scorpion  to the high-flying Eagle to the peace-abiding Dove.

Answer 5

When Mercury and Neptune are in the same house people often just don't get what you are saying; with the Sun in there also the secretive nature of Scorpio is heightened.
