The current Mercury square Neptune aspect is important. We tend to notice the squares more than the trines and sextiles because they are pressure-aspects which make things happen, which force issues.
It will last for a long time--until November 28 while Mercury is slow and retrograde--and then again while Mercury is direct at Christmastime for the whole second half of December. So let's learn from C.E.O. Carter, that pioneering astrologer:
"This configuration usually indicates an astute and cunning type of person, capable of deep scheming and generally hardly able to avoid some degree of deception, though not necessarily for evil purposes. Sometimes the deception is of a quite innocent order." Now because Donald Trump has this aspect in his birth chart, we ought to learn from observing him. His supporters of course think that his "deception is of a quite innocent order." His detractors violently disagree. No one would deny that he is "astute and cunning, capable of deep scheming." How this might apply to your current situation, whether you are facing such people in your life or perhaps are taken to be one of them, is something for you to discover.
". . . delicate perceptions . . . enable the native to divine what others will do or try to do." This is one of Trump's trump cards. Maybe you have it also while this aspect lasts. "In negative types the same sensitiveness leads to a retired life, often combined with an amiable disposition." This may apply to us during this time, because Mercury is slowing down and goes retrograde on the 16th (Friday) and that denotes sometimes "retirement" or an inclination to the inner life. Sleep patterns might be unusual. "Sometimes it leads to easy discouragement and lack of self-confidence, because the native is too thin-skinned and worries unduly. Sometimes the same sensitiveness causes fierce outbursts of resentful anger. . . . Much will depend on [other factors in the chart]. Lack of real self-confidence may induce a person to resort to deceit."
Dr. Carter's final paragraph (I gave him the Ph.D.): "Active imagination and the insight into motives that results from sensitive perceptions may be invaluable to a man of genius or even a man of practical sense; but in the case of persons of weak judgment and understanding the same things may lead to all kinds of foolish and morbid fancies."
Tuesday: One needs to beware of cruelty (Mars square Jupiter), whether directed toward someone else or toward oneself, and whether emotional or mental. One's compulsions could make one unaware of danger. Karma can ricochet on and on. Perhaps one could find some way to reduce cruelty in the world.
Sorrow is a normal part of life when it is disappointment, but does not have to become a permanent weighty feature of our consciousness. When we get over it we can be as "a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis."
We could become adept at mediating between conflict and its resolution. "A veiled prophet of power" is supreme because of his or her insight and willingness to speak the truth.
One's restlessness could be irrepressible resourcefulness. That is, one feels impelled to try something for one's own welfare, "Hunters starting out for ducks," being enterprising while motivated by appropriate self-interest.
