Moon square Mercury

Moon square Mercury have this tendency to pay attention to unimportant things and to feel insecure for no reason. Very capable of efficiently communicating with their closest friends and family members, they have a problem when interacting with strangers, which can impede them from achieving success. They should avoid not considering others’ opinions when these are disagreeing with them. Instead, they should just evaluate every idea coming from someone else and be as objective as possible about it. It doesn’t matter if the Moon is in conjunction, square or opposite aspect to Mercury, natives having one of these aspects in their birth chart are aware of the strong connection between their conscious and unconscious mind. Their thoughts and emotions can influence their decisions a lot, and they’re most of the time listening to what their feelings are saying. Depending on their Sun sign and other aspects in their birth chart, they can be very sensitive when interacting with others, but this means they’re only sympathetic and very understanding. Mercury is the astrological ruler of learning and communication, whereas the Moon rules over behavioural patterns, moods, creativity and intuition. When these two are in a square in birth charts, natives with such placement can understand how others are functioning, also what they’re thinking and feeling. The perfect way to take advantage of this transit is to communicate in a sensitive and very accurate way. Usually, people are reluctant to giving bad news, which means they tend to twist the truth so that it sounds softer. This is exactly what an aspect between the Moon and Mercury does to natives having it at their birth: it gives them an amazing ability to sensitively inform others of anything bad that happened or is about to take place. In some occasions, Moon square Mercury can lead to instability, frequent attitude changes, lightness, irritability, dispersion and wandering of the spirit and sensitivity. Lack of realism, agitation, superficial, highly versatile conscience, infantilism, childishness as well as prone to immorality.

Moon square Mercury creates high tension between your heart and mind. This is not open warfare but a continual questioning or internal debate between your thoughts and feelings. The result is an intellectual or creative genius, but the process can affect your personal life. Anything you feel strongly about or have an opinion on is subject to your questioning, indecisiveness, and variability of emotions or interests. This can have a particularly detrimental effect on your intimate relationships. You may not care much about what others think of you, but your partner will most likely. The internal conflict between your thoughts and feelings can manifest externally as communication problems between you and your partner. You are willing to openly and honestly share your feelings, but the message received can be less thoughtful and caring than intended. Friends may come and go, but family is forever. Your parochial views on family may extend beyond the clan and even to nationalism. There is no doubting your wit, charisma, and cultural understanding. However, this aspect is neutral for good or evil, so your provocative influence can lead to fame or infamy. With Moon square Mercury, there is a conflict here between the head and the heart. The emotions tell them one thing and the mind tells them something else. The result is a wavering, and a see-saw effect is most evident with the opposition–emotional to the point of irrationality at one moment, and logical the next. How to blend the head and the heart is a constant struggle for these individuals, usually because there is a tendency to resist blending them. These people love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, and usually possess a sparkling wit! They are animated when they speak, and have a sense of humour that others appreciate simply because it’s very imaginative. Some are especially adept at satire. You can usually tell their moods by how much they’re talking. When nervous or excitable, they talk up a storm. Moodiness is a characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes them prone to hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that they take in so very much from their environment. This is also one of the reasons why they tend to be indecisive.

The Moon square Mercury indicates that you have difficulty in making reasonable judgements, because your feelings are usually involved. It can be disturbing to find out later that your actions have shown incredible immaturity. It isn't easy for you to be completely rational or objective, for you are overly sensitive and cannot remain impartial in what you say or do. You sometimes have difficulty in separating fact from fancy and may unfairly assume that people are criticizing you when this is not the case at all. Because of this, you get involved in gross misunderstandings with many people and can become very unpopular. You are sentimental about those close to you and attach great importance to the things you own. Preoccupied with trivial matters, you waste a lot of needless effort and energy on them. Your problem is that you dwell to excess on yourself, for you are insecure and fearful that people won't appreciate you, no matter what you do. In a sense, you are selfish; you need to devote as much time and concern to other people as to yourself. Try to rechannelled your interests outside yourself. Just the effort of trying will help reduce your almost neurotic attitude about your personal affairs. It would not only be healthier but would enable you to observe that the problems others have are not very different from your own. After you realize your shortcomings and can relate to people more easily, you can look to the future with optimism. You should find some comfort working with young people or children. But stay clear of people in your own age group until you learn to withstand their criticism, which you see as a put-down. Once you are truly secure in what you know and what you can do, you should think about competing with your peers. Be careful that you don't cut people down when they challenge you. Before you launch a verbal attack, re-examine the facts to see if it is justified. You communicate well with those close to you, because you don't feel insecure. It is quite different with strangers, though, for you feel threatened by them. This is why you don't make friends easily. You resent having to make adjustments or allowances for other people, preferring that they adjust to your particular frail and vulnerable personality. You hold fast to your opinions and are defiant when anyone suggests you are mistaken. Unbend a little--it will be a lot less painful for you and will encourage others to be more sympathetic and understanding.
