Feeling finds its words while the friction lingers

The Moon in Cancer, its own sign, trines Mercury retrograde in Scorpio today. Between two water signs, feeling finds words without a struggle. The T-squares that pulled on yesterday's Moon have come apart, and the yod with Uranus has dissolved with them. Mercury's square to Mars, exact on 30 October, is loosening but still in force, so words can land sharp; the trine lets the feeling under them speak first. The Moon also squares Venus retrograde in Libra. If the need to feel secure turns into clinging, or into pressing someone for affection, the trine to Mercury offers the better tool: name the need plainly. The Moon's quincunx to the North Node in Aquarius is an aspect in modern practice that the classical tradition does not count. It strains home loyalties against the group's claims, and careful, piecemeal changes can ease it.
