This is how “Don’t speak!” should play out

1:30 AM PST we see the Moon sextile Capricorn Mercury–is it just me, or does this feel like an instance of banging our emotional heads against a stone wall? The Scorpio Moon won’t want to contain itself, and that’s all Cappy Merc wants to do. It reminds me of that character played by Dianne Wiest in ‘Bullets Over Broadway’: she was a very dramatic individual, romanticizing every conversation in her own mind, so that anytime anyone tried to say something to her, she would extend her hand, clap it over their mouth, and in husky, hushed tones exclaim, “Don’t speak!” I see this aspect as something like that, Scorpio Moon just wanting to express, Cappy Merc determined to cut it off at the pass, despite what should be a co-operative relationship (the sextile). Of course, we can add that Merc is also square newly retro Saturn–though that seems if it was revved up today, silence would be easy–but I think Saturn is all about itself right now, and with Pallas still within conjunction of Mercury, we might feel what we have to say is just too smart to keep to ourselves!

Coming up on 6 PM PST the Moon squares Neptune and trines Uranus. If we try to live a fantasy, or pass off a delusion or lie as reality, conflict will ensue. Conflict will specifically be fueled by the individuality urge, the need to feel unique or special, that will prompt the tall tale in the first place. Try not to talk smack
