In the pre-dawn hours, the Leo moon squares off with Mercury in Taurus, making us crabby. We expect our peers to agree with our opinions (or even to admire us for our brilliant thinking)! When they don’t, we become irritated and annoyed. We risk projecting onto others (“they’re not smart enough to get it”) or rejecting them outright. Avoid setting traps for people to fall into! While Mercury is retrograde, we’re especially susceptible to errors in judgment. Don’t be so quick to judge and criticize, or the universe could bring you to task!
Late in the morning, the moon trines Chiron in Aries, helping us to access personal healing. In the past, others may have bullied us for our unique points of view. We stood out from the crowd, and this made us a target for criticism. Now, we understand that hurt people, hurt people. Those who made fun of us back in the day were trying to ignore their own wounds. Today, we recognize how the ripple effect of pain can last a lifetime, and impact whole communities. Course-correcting this unhealthy cycle of trauma begins with us.
