WARNING! FOG IN THE SKY MEANS FOG DOWN BELOW
What Mercury Square Neptune Means
Mercury squares Neptune again on June 4. This time with Mercury in Cancer, adding an emotional layer to the fog. Where January's version was philosophical and wandering, this one is personal and deeply feeling. Your thinking is colored by emotion in ways that make it harder to separate fact from feeling, memory from imagination, what happened from how it felt when it happened.
The risk is misunderstanding. Hearing what you fear instead of what was said, or interpreting someone's silence through the lens of your own insecurity. Communication with family members, roommates, and anyone you share emotional history with is particularly susceptible to Neptune's distortions.
But the same emotional porousness that clouds judgment also deepens intuition. You can feel what people mean even when their words fail them. Creative work that draws from personal memory, family history, or emotional truth is extraordinarily powerful today. The key is knowing when to trust the feeling and when to verify the facts.

How Mercury Square Neptune Affects Your Sign
Select your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign for a personalized reading.
Aries
Neptune in your sign clouds your domestic thinking. Conversations with family are tender but potentially misleading. A parent or roommate may not be saying what they mean, and neither might you. Lead with questions, not assumptions.
Taurus
Communication with siblings or neighbors carries an emotional haze. A misunderstanding is likely. But so is an unexpectedly tender exchange. Give people the benefit of the doubt before reacting.
Gemini
Your ruling planet Mercury fogs your financial thinking. A purchase, a deal, or a money decision looks better than it is. If it feels too emotionally appealing, wait a day before committing your wallet.
Cancer
Mercury in your sign squares Neptune. Your thinking is almost entirely emotional today. This makes you an extraordinary listener, a gifted artist, and a terrible decision-maker about practical matters. Know which hat to wear.
Leo
Subconscious emotional material floods your thinking. Dreams may be vivid, intuitions may be loud, and the boundary between inner and outer reality may feel thin. Journal everything. Sort it later.
Virgo
Your ruling planet Mercury gets foggy in your social sector. A friend's message may be ambiguous, or group dynamics feel emotionally confusing. Do not take anything personally until you have verified what was actually meant.
Libra
Career communication gets wrapped in emotional ambiguity. A boss or client may be unclear, or your own professional messaging may come across differently than intended. Proofread everything twice today.
Scorpio
Travel plans, educational pursuits, or legal matters are clouded by wishful thinking. A belief or a promise sounds beautiful. But does it hold up under scrutiny? Verify before you commit.
Sagittarius
Shared finances and intimate conversations are emotionally foggy. A partner may not be honest, or may not be able to articulate what they feel. Patience and gentleness go further than pressing for answers.
Capricorn
A partner or close collaborator is hard to read. Their words and their feelings may not match, and your own projections make it harder to see clearly. Ask genuine questions instead of interpreting silence.
Aquarius
Work routines dissolve into beautiful chaos. Your job may feel emotionally draining, or a health concern may be colored by anxiety rather than facts. Separate the feeling from the diagnosis before taking action.
Pisces
Your ruling planet Neptune squares Mercury in your romance and creativity sector. Art, love, and play reach an almost transcendent quality. But decisions made in this state need a reality check later.
