Mercury opposite Neptune is never a good time to make a financial decision (September 12th). Worse than a square and more treacherous than a retrograde, you could find yourself on the verge of getting fleeced by a wolf in sheep's clothing. What makes this situation even more difficult is that the only way out is to cut your losses. Go ahead and cut them. Yes, it's quite a sum to part with, but the Mercury/Pluto trine taking place on the same day shows you'll be amply rewarded for your sacrifice. Pluto always blesses those who brave its ordeals, but you have to brave them first.
