Hegel was born with Mercury conjunct Neptune and it is easy to apprehend this combination in his writings. As Neptune is the ideal realm, Hegel was the greatest of the German Idealist philosophers. Hegel's work concentrates on reconciling the ideal--the world of truth, beauty, goodness, and eternal forms--with the material, which he attempts in his magnum opus, The Phenomenology (Mercury) of Spirit (Neptune).

Uranus-Mercury is also highly evident in Hegel. Uranus-Mercury not only grants brilliance in thought but it also bestows the individual with what one might call higher order thinking--the ability to transcend one's perspective and to hold multiple perspectives at once. This capacity is highly evident in what is somewhat inappropriately called Hegel's dialectic--the co-presence of opposites reconciling as a synthesis. Envisioning the world in this way is highly indicative of the Uranus--Mercury combination. The Pluto--Mercury combination is what elevates Hegel above his Idealist contemporaries. Hegel's idealism has to be taken more seriously than most idealism because of his credible reconciliation with the ideal and material realms. Thus, Hegel is able to incorporate the necessity of the Plutonic--the evolutionary manifestation of spirit in and through the material reality.
