In the morning, Mercury in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, fostering self-reflection. This is an auspicious opportunity to confront repressed insecurities and replace them with more purposeful intentions. At this time, we are striving for progress, and we refuse to let old pain weigh us down. If self-critical or self-effacing beliefs are not helping us to grow or thrive, then they no longer have any place in our narrative. Because we are taking a mental inventory of our past behavior, we also have a chance to consider how we use our words. Have you ever regretted harsh insults that you’ve levied against another? You have wrestled with former bullies, yet you might now realize that you have been the villain in someone else’s story. This transit can, therefore, facilitate empathic conversations and provide an occasion to make amends. With any luck, forgiveness and healing will be the outcome for all involved.
After noon, the Taurus moon squares off with Mercury, pitting emotions against intellect. Just because we are keen to face our past doesn’t mean that others are. Someone we attempt to reconcile with might not be ready to accept our apology. People must do things on their own time. The worst thing we can do is try to force our point on someone who doesn’t want to hear it. Have patience.
