So when we're looking at Mercury conjunct to the moon, this is a wonderful time to be able to express, to communicate effectively in a way that lands and in a way that we're looking for to communicate effectively what's from the deep, what on the inside world. It's not the best transit if we're just looking to communicate logical information because there is this, uh, you know, wonderful intersection here at this mixing of what we're feeling and then being able to put it into words, being able to get it across where we feel like we've been understood, we've been heard. So it's not an objective time, it's an emotional time. And if Mercury is serving the moon, Mercury is bringing the messages of the moon to the surface, and it's in a way that is beginning a new cycle, a successful cycle. Get to implant new beginnings every time we have a conjunction. Hope a yield good fruit rather than rotten fruit. Sometimes it's rotten, sometimes the oppositions don't work out the way that we think they're going to, and then we have another chance to plant the new seed. But this is when we knew we plant a new seed of being able to communicate effectively what it is that we really want to communicate in a way that allows for emotional attunement. We're inviting that. So this is what we're putting out. So we are inviting. We aren't, uh, we aren't really able to see another's position. This is about communicating effectively our position, what's going on in us, and being open about that, being plain about that. And and that's if we have to communicate something. Generally, we're in a position of, you know, feeling like I have to get this out there. But there is also this, if if we are not in this state where there's something that must be communicated, and often after, not always, but often after we do get it up and out, there's an urgency that has been responded to. We've responded to that within ourselves. We've given voice to that. What is urgently needing to be communicated? What was inside of this? Then we will be in a position to be able to receive information. But we have to look at, you know, how influenced we are by our feelings with this particular conjunction, and how our honest communication and transmission of those feelings, and often, almost, uh, innocently urgently, you know, communicated, the kind of good results that that can lend. There is a sympathy, there's an empathy that can be accessed here. So we are communicating our feelings in such a way that, you know, brings a sense of communion, of connection. It's a personal day. We do want to talk about ourselves. But on the back side of that, if we do get that out, there is that room for learning about others. We're very curious about others on the back side. And I think that that's something that we have, that that we are being, we are being open to learning out what might be or must be going on with another. And I think that we are very much looking to read between the lines. So what's really being said here? I know that when I came home, you got after me about how I said I would do the dishes that morning and then I went off to work without doing them. But what is your body language and your tone and everything really communicating to me? Maybe it's that me leaving small things undone has been piling up. Maybe I've been telling you that I don't actually respect your time as much as I say I do by leaving these things. We may have some, some Leo moment there. So it gives us a chance to connect on a deeper level. I understand. All right, so let's look at the sextile. So we are very much giving expression to our inner world with the sextile. We do feel like it's easier to say what's really going on. It's easier to communicate, to put into words what our needs are, what's happening within our internal world. These are more frank, honest days. The moon plays a lot of games, all the water planets do. And, you know, these are games that are meant to protect ourselves. That's where the ego itself is represented by games, funny games, fifth house sun. But all the aspects of ego, of the different kinds of games that they play. I think that's why I was just on the verge of breaking out in laughter. So it's a day where we are open to again, deciphering our own games and others, in a way where we're not reactive. We don't take a person. And we are very good at bringing others to see what we see, persuasive with this style. It can be very effective in putting our personal point of view into words in such a way where the people around us, it's not as personal as the conjunction. The people around us in our daily life, we are able to come into a good amount of agreement with us. We can make some headway when it comes to communing with others. It's a charming day where we are, you know, able to juggle different, you know, tasks, thoughts, feelings. And we can achieve a certain amount of insight. But this is not a day where we're brooding. It's more of a day where we are putting into practice and acting on what it is that we've, uh, us little insight, little things that we're seeing. So there is an ability to say what we mean and mean what we say. And there is a trust, there's a plainness. Other people are realizing, oh, your body language, your affect, your tone, your words, these things are all matching. And we will get what we put out, get that same plainness, that same agreement that, oh, okay, we're all on the same page. It's obvious we're all on the same page. So we could be very effective when it comes to speaking, communicating, making signing contracts, sharing feelings, solving problems within relationships or within groups or within family situations. We are not as reactive as we can be because we have a good amount of emotion and logic coming together and telling us what something must be. We are also open to listening, are open to being flexible about what it is that we're opining about. We're not leaving ourselves out though. So it's a very good exchange of give and take. Mercury represents textiles and also in conjunctions because he represents Lugo Gemini sexile in the third house, which my in conjunctions the sixth house. So it has this, we have this openness, I think this curiosity that is there and useful, not misappropriated with the easy aspects. So we're not dealing with scatteredness. With the hard aspects, we are very scattered. I still got a lot out of it from those transits, but we are more together. We feel that there is a congruency with the sextile and the trine, especially. There's a congruency here between what we're thinking and feeling, and that puts us in a position where others trust us, and that's reflected back. This is a great, great transit to get good advice. This is a really good transit too, you know, expect where we expect somebody to come to us many, many times and ask for help, ask for a different point of view, ask for advice, and we may have what they need. It's not going to be flowery. It's probably not going to be something is ever presently spiritual, and we all dwell in the similitude of the sun. It's not going to be anything like that. It's going to be practical. It's often going to come from something that we've learned in the past. So let's look at the square. I know the squares indicate a certain amount of conflict where we're dealing with, uh, with some amount of immaturity. This is a delightful moment. I came to this morning, you know, about an hour ago, putting my makeup on and realized that's where we have this, yeah, possibility of just not progressing because we have this, this barrier, that opening square and the closing square too. These represent different aspects of maturity, cancer, Capricorn. And we can be so caught in this, there's a net, yeah, between the capacities that we have because of where we come from and what we want to be. So very much of the time, our squares are going to represent a state of emotional immaturity that we're going through, and we can act extremely emotionally immature. This particular square between Mercury and Moon, we're very much in touch with what's going on inside. It's very much on the surface. Our inner world is not terribly controlled. Is so our feelings are very, you know, they're exposed. It's like an exposed nerve where we've had the case taken off of it for a few days. And it could be very emotional. Our thinking and our feelings is very muddled. It's hard to tell the difference between one and the other. And how we're communicating, what we're communicating is with the square and the opposition, so influenced, marked by a subjectivity, what we've been through, our personal state, the day, what it is that we remember. It's very hard to know what something is in itself before we sort through with the square or the opposition, before we sort through, hey, wait, wait, wait, what is my real part in this and what has actually happened? What am I really reacting to? This is what we find out under the square or the opposition. Wait, what happened and why did I act that way or interpret it that way? Where did that come from? Because so often what happens and how we react to it goes, we're reacting to something in a way that, you know, is very descriptive, not so much of what it is. A multitude of people could react to the same stimulus very differently. Very much can tell us what we are. So we don't understand what our problem is a lot of times, and we are looking through the confusion of what just happened to understand what our real part is. So we can very much be a bit embarrassed because we can have the intention of saying something or communicating in a way, um, you know, it's more of our conscious self, you know, this is what I want to be, I think I am, and then we'll do something that's counter to that. We can be interpreted as very incongruent, unstable. We are for a little while here. So we'll look at, okay, what is it that I don't know about myself? Or are some of these inherited attitudes and patterns that I unconsciously act out? And what can I learn about that? How have I more unconsciously determined what something is or who somebody is in a way that maybe doesn't take them totally into account, or it totally into account? It was just more subjective. I just reacted to it in a way that, you know, totally descriptive and what I've been. So we can have problems with women, moon figures, people who we can interpret as too emotional, you know, was complex and have to really back up sometimes and look at what what is that we're really thinking. We might have to make some apologies with this particular square because we aren't totally in control of our reactions. But it can be a transit where the urgency to get something out or to express something, it may come out sideways, but it did come out. That was a good thing. We may have to explain ourselves a bit better. We may have to sit on it. We may have to back up, have a little bit of apologizing to do. But there's something that needed to be known. So we really look at how do we cause our own mistakes, problems? Yeah, how do we have a hand in this communication because of what we believe to be true based on where we've come from and what we've been exposed to? How do we trick ourselves? We may look at some of our games very carefully. Square. Let's look at the trine where we have a lot of interest and curiosity in what is going on with the people around us, wanting to invite them to share or to be understood. We are less concerned with inserting our personal point of view into our everyday world or into most people that we're dealing with. We're more about listening, receiving, and understanding outside of ourselves and what's personal to us, what it is that's really been communicated, said here. You definitely want this trine in chart between in the natal chart therapist. This is a wonderful, wonderful way to communicate our interest, the care that we have for another. Yeah, we're communicating that you're important to me by wanting to know more. And so this openness, this willingness within us, this lack of tension between what are you saying and what is it that I need to believe in order to keep my ego going and stand. And we just kind of erased and we're just like, yeah, what is it? What is it you're actually saying here? And how can I respond to you in a way that invites more information rather than closes it off? You can do that with difficult aspects. Just bring an end to things if it's striking us the wrong way. So we are improving our relationships potentially. Our relationships with mothers, women, receptive figures in our life can make some progress here. And I think it's our lack of agenda. Mercury is the daily agenda. Our lack of it, of needing to be right. We don't need to be right. We just need to listen with this trine because if we're really listening, we'll hear what's really being said. And we don't have to test, test, test, prod, prod, prod. This is another insight I had this morning when we are dealing with, when we're dealing with hard aspects within ourselves, we don't take things as they are because I think we're always holding it up against what was. And when we get into relationships and we're dealing with other people out of hard aspects, unhealed hard aspects, we're in relationship with them, we're testing them while in relationship with them. When all those tests ideally should really be just as a determiner when it comes to us deciding, are they an appropriate partner for us in the beginning? She be part of the discernment process. And how mean it is, how unconscious it is to continually test people within relationship. We're already there with them. It's like we're setting them up just to see what they'll do. And we can create our own problems with that. It's like that show, what is it, where they, what is it, it's an entrapment show where they leave a car with all the windows down, the keys in it, and then wait to see who's going to come steal it. It's a lot of what we do when when we're functioning out of unhealed hard aspects. And often times we get what it is that we're setting ourselves up for. So with the trine, I think we have a really good, a really good perspective. Temporary, it may be that allows us to understand how our own unconscious games are not benefiting us. Usually, we're, of course, we believe they're benefiting us, or we wouldn't do it. There's a payoff. We believe we're getting a payoff. So this, you know, our usual petty idea, yeah, there's not appealing to us from with this particular. And we're more honest too about what's going on within us. That one, we're plain about that, and we'll get that back. All righty, so let's look at the opposition. We're looking very strongly at how our own personal issues, what's emotional, our internal world, where we've come from, our record of the past, how is that directly affecting our perception? And how are we projecting what it is that's inside of us directly onto another? And we can, if we're open to it, we can see it in real time. If we're communicating those projections, much like what happened with my mother, she brought the laundry. I didn't keep it within me. My, oh, I see why you did that. I said, oh, okay, yeah, I get it. I won't leave my laundry up there anymore. I did respond to it in the moment because I felt compelled to do so. And it gave me this chance to have her reflect back what really happened. Because it's an opposition, we have two choices. We can reject that or we can accept it. Oh, okay, my subjective point of view was incorrect. I accepted it. But we can double down with oppositions. It could have gone like, accuse, accused her of being me like I initially did. She came back with, no, I just did this actually out of the kindness of my heart. I had the time and, you know, here you go. I could have been like, no, now, yeah, right, right, right, and took the laundry and shut the screen door. And then that's a doubling down that cuts off further insight because the ego, the gains are too heavy. So I chose not to give precedence to my feelings because they were telling me wrong. You know, that combination of thought and feeling in the moment, it was so muddled. So we make these little mistakes with Mercury Moon. Generally, we're not going to make like massive mistakes with these particular transits. These are little mistakes in perception that give us a chance to better know what something is. So whatever is needing to compulsively, you know, be expressed, I think it is best that we get it out there. In fact, we're not going to be able to sit on it with this opposition. We, and with the square too, we're in the moment, like verbal diarrhea that needs to come out so we can have the truth presented and we can choose truth, which is usually human because it will be different from what we thought. That's why we spout it off in the first place. So really with the opposition, we're looking about how everything, everything that we interpret it in terms of others is colored by this subjectivity. And you can really be looking strongly at how the outside is a reflection of the inside. As above, so below, as in, so without. And we really have to accept that whatever we're unconscious about, whatever's unknown, whatever is unexpressed, whatever is unrealized is going to be seen. It's going to be seen on the outside, and it's something we usually feel assaulted by in some way with the opposition. So if we can't just allow our feelings to have reign with the opposition like we initially do, but then we need to stop ourselves when we have the truth reflected back. Because honestly, it doesn't, it's, it's, I would say never congruent with what's actually going on. We're reacting like an idiot. You know, that is Jules' worst fear is to be interpreted as an idiot, and that's probably because on some level I know that I act like. Where's the box? It's a, this is a process with this opposition of seeing how our past has taken over, feelings taken over, and then getting straight with ourselves, getting straight with others. What else? Very changeable. Yeah, very emotional attitudes from mother, upbringing, the past. I think I hit the bullet points there. All right, any questions?
