In the pre-dawn hours, Mercury in Cancer opposes Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, in Capricorn, prompting misunderstandings. While we’ll attempt to provide for others by ensuring that their physical and material needs are taken care of, our bedside manner can be lacking. However, if we communicate in more compassionate ways, we’ll fail to stay on-task and can blunder opportunities to keep our loved ones resourced. This opposition can also prevent us from being open with others. We don’t want to come off as needy, but our needs may be valid! Remember, it’s never inappropriate to voice that you require support, too.
Late in the morning, the Aquarius moon sextiles Chiron in Aries, helping us to overcome insecurities. This transit helps us recognize our inner strength. We can give ourselves credit for personality quirks that we may have written off in the past as being “weird” or “strange.” This aspect will allow us to negotiate complications stirred up by the Mercury-Ceres opposition. Being less hard on ourselves will make it easier to open up to others.
