The cosmic weather is quiet today until mid-morning, when Mercury and Chiron align in Aries, provoking communication anxieties. Under this influence, we risk oversharing and then overthinking what we’ve said. Yet we won’t be able to sidestep discomfort by keeping our mouths shut, either. Whether we say too much or too little, some regret is inevitable. However, this transit isn’t all bad. In fact, we can use this as an opportunity to heal insecurities around standing up and being counted. Sometimes, words said in haste must be said. Others need to know what we think, and word vomit, however awkward, will force us to own our position and truth. Asserting our point of view may feel uncomfortable. But the Mercury-Chiron conjunction illustrates that by being vocal, we can reclaim our agency, and in doing so, we’ll inspire those who witness our declarations to reclaim their agency as well.
In the afternoon, the Leo moon squares off with Jupiter in Taurus, inspiring bold claims. The Mercury-Chiron conjunction is the dominant influence of the day, and we are busy renegotiating how we communicate. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that this might entail some bluster. Perhaps we’ll attempt to puff up our confidence by making grandiose promises or big claims. Today, we’re encountering new information that might cause us to change our minds or adopt new ideas. Yet, we should spend more time vetting or fact-checking before jumping on a bandwagon. Be careful what you agree to or whose beliefs you align yourself with.
