Mercury Traits
Historians describe Mercury, the messenger of the gods, as a prankster, agile, swift, and cunning. To discharge his duties, the gods gave him a winged sandal and winged cap. Because of this god's swiftness, historians dub him as a thief too. Mercury is the protector of merchants and commerce as well.
We now move on to the planet Mercury in astronomy. Mercury is the smallest in the Solar System, albeit the fastest to revolve around the Sun. We correlate all these Mercury facts in astrology. In astrology, Mercury concerns itself with communication and its delivery. Do we tend to be open book when we communicate? Do we filter and limit the things we say? Mercury answers these questions.

In terms of delivery, how do we say the things in our heads? Do we do it straight to the point or beat around the bush? Mercury answers the question also on how often do we want to talk to other people? What is our preferred way to communicate? Mercury governs our internal processes, as well. The smallest planet concerns itself in our information and thought process. Do we rely only on our consciousness? Do our emotions guide us when we communicate, or it's all rationality?
Mercury, being the swift god and planet, rules over short trips as well. These trips include quick trips from a friend across town or weekend travels. Mercury also signifies curiosity and knowledge. This planet empowers us to search for knowledge and always quenches our thirst for it.
Neptune Traits
In Roman mythology, Neptune's dominion is freshwater and sea. He is the protector of horses and cherishes them too. In astronomy, Neptune lies on the frontier of our solar system. This cold and lifeless planet has the strongest winds in the solar system. Sometimes, the dwarf planet Pluto seems to be closer to us (because of its elliptical orbit) than Neptune.
Like how the planet Neptune's distance to us is an illusion, in astrology, Neptune rules over illusion. It also expands to dreams, confusion, psychic abilities, and fantasy. Where there is a thin line dividing reality and illusion, there lies Neptune. Neptune also signifies escapism. How often do we dream about escaping our lives? What do we do to escape reality for a while? Neptune has answers to this. While reality seems to be exhausting, Neptune reminds us to take a break and dive into our dreams for a bit.

However, if Neptune's influence is taken advantage of to the extreme, this may lead to delusion. Some people are lost in their dreams, that they forget that they exist in the real plane. Neptune rules over spirituality as well. This planet reminds us to be in touch with our spirituality and nourish it. This planet does not distinguish between a private spiritual practice or a religious practice. What's vital with this planet is that your spirit is enlightened and well-fed.
This ice giant does not concern itself with reality, worldly possessions, and materiality. What matters is the abstract things not found in our reality plane: spirituality, dreams, and illusion.
