In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Mercury on their Neptune, or their Mercury on your Neptune. The person whose planet is Mercury brings words, curiosity, a way of reasoning; the one whose planet is Neptune brings dream, empathy, the romantic ideal. The sextile opens a door: the agreement is there, but it has to be brought to life by gestures, or it stays a possibility.
The lever of a harmonious aspect: do not take it for granted. Name what works, cultivate it, and lean on it on the days when other contacts between your charts grind.
