Deeper Understanding

Moon square Mercury creates tension between what you feel and what you think. Emotions interfere with clear thinking; thoughts disturb emotional peace.

This often manifests as anxiety—the mind running over emotional material, feelings coloring supposedly rational decisions. The two faculties don't rest easily together.

The work is learning to honor both without letting either dominate inappropriately. Sometimes you need to think; sometimes you need to feel.

About the Square

Two planets at right angles create tension that demands action and generates growth.

Shadow

Chronic frustration when the tension isn't addressed. Forcing one energy to dominate rather than integrating both. Action without reflection.

Invitation

What action has this tension been pushing you toward? What would it mean to stop avoiding the discomfort and work with it instead?
