Mercury and Pluto are conjunct; words have power, they carry the strength to transform, to change, and, naturally, to destroy. Speak with extreme care, and listen with the same–people may reveal far more than they mean to, particularly along the lines of what they deeply need and want–and you might, too.

Moon opposes Merc/ Pluto 8:30 PM Pacific. We may have an instance of emotional revelation related to the transforming words given and received–and this means we might be deeply touched, changed, transformed, by the feelings that come forward–and these can fuel some of those life direction changes of Merc/ Pluto. It’s a chance at the very least to explore how we feel about what’s been communicated to us–and knowledge is always a good thing This is also when the Moon quincunxes Mars; undoubtedly we will want to act on what we find out, what we feel. Think carefully before you commit to action–it’s the revelation that’s important, now. There’s also a simultaneous quincunx to Ceres that means authority and/ or nature figures in to the message we’re receiving and the thoughts we’re having–we could get totally sidetracked with an ego struggle against those we feel are in charge. This is really unnecessary; meaningful response rests with our feelings, and what we can conclude from these.

Venus is sesquiquadrate Earth, making relationships and finances tie too closely to the material for comfort. We may become much too aware of what part money plays in relationships, how values are limiting or expanding our personal reach, and how love could alter our physical situation. Try to retain a sense of balance, rather than letting these facets loom too large.
