Have you been stuck in a creative rut lately? Or have you been yearning to make changes in your life, wanting to start down a journey of personal growth, but you’re unsure of where to begin? The universe is about to send you a push in the right direction, so get ready for some cosmic intervention. On October 30, Mercury forms a trine aspect with Neptune, and this energy of these two planets combined makes for some great inspiration. You’ll be ready to start November off on the right foot if you use this time wisely, so it’s smart to be prepared. Here’s what to do under Mercury trine Neptune:
- Sleep with your dream journal under your pillow.
Ah, Neptune, the planet of dreams-both sleeping and waking. In this case, the dreams you have while asleep can both reflect your current waking life and your hopes for the future, so it’s extremely important to pay attention-this aspect can do crazy things to your subconscious! If you don’t already have a dream journal, now’s the time to start one, and make sure to write down every detail you remember. And yes, that might mean writing it down at 3 a.m.
- You’ll be interested in more abstract subjects.
This aspect can inspire your curiosity, but it will be towards more abstract topics-philosophy, social issues, literature-over the hard sciences. Indulge that curiosity and head to the library! This is the time to dabble in anything that you have even a passing interest in-you never know what will really grab you. Read, read, read-and really think about what you’re reading and learning. Question everything!
- You’ll be able to see the big picture.
Neptune encourages us to dream bigger and look further, and this aspect is no exception. You won’t just look at issues from one side-you’ll be able to play devil’s advocate and see an issue from many different perspectives. And sometimes, this means taking an unpopular positions. This doesn’t just apply to larger societal issues, it also applies to issues in your own life. You’ll be able to step back and look at how all the pieces of your life fit together.
- It’s a good time to plan for the distant future.
Because you have that “big picture” mindset, you’ll have a better understanding of where you want to be one, five, ten years from now-the sky’s the limit! Write down all of those big dreams you have for yourself, no matter how impossible they may seem. You’re not put on this earth to hold back, so go for what you want with your whole heart.
- Indulge your creative side.
Neptune tends to inspire creative energy, so express yourself in whatever form you wish! Channel those dreams into painting, poetry, songwriting, design-the sky is the limit under Mercury trine Neptune! Set aside plenty of time to just let everything go and create. It’s vital for your personal growth, and you may surprise yourself with what you come up with under this aspect.
