Today is Friday, June 24, 2011. The Moon is in Aries all day, and enters Taurus on Saturday at 4:53 pm EDT. Before it gets there, it will make a square aspect (90 degrees) to Mercury in Cancer. This brings up an old question: when you have a thought, how do you know it’s your intuition speaking? How do you know you’re not being paranoid, or just wrong? And what if your ‘mind’ says one thing and your ‘intuition’ says another thing? How many times do you have to check that your door is locked before you figure out that it’s not your intuition telling you that it’s still unlocked (the official answer is 14-1/2 times)?
Moon square Mercury is one of those aspects that seems to put the feeling body into a tense relationship with the thinking mind. Yet with a square, it’s not a question of either/or — remember that in case you’re bugging out over one. It’s a question of working with each side of the equation until you have an answer that satisfies both. This goes for the squares in your natal chart, and it goes for the squares that are cruising by in the transiting sky. I think rather than have a theoretical debate with yourself, it’s better to assess the facts, then see what they add up to logically and then see what they add up to when you ‘feel’ their implications. Then if something is really important, check the facts again. I can tell you this, with both Venus and Mars in Gemini, there are a lot of different opinions in there; a lot of opinions buzzing around. Heck, even your opinions have opinions, and some have an attitude.
