I welcome sharing my writing, links, quotes and Astro Memes,
but copying and passing off my work as ones own, is plagarism!
Big difference!

The Moon in Virgo square Mercury in Gemini at 11:23 AM EDT.

Today there is one (1) lone aspect as the Moon in Virgo squares Mercury in Gemini. Now see, I find this aspect to be pretty darn interesting.

Mercury is the co-ruler of both Virgo and Gemini. So to have the Moon in Virgo squaring Mercury in Gemini, is like having Mercury punching itself in the face. Squares beware, right? But then again, it might be Virgo punching itself in the face, or Gemini punching itself in the face.

You might entertain right off the bat whether you are going to be figurative or literal today. Virgo is more literal, speaking from details, facts and minutia, while Gemini is more figurative, speaking from metaphors, stories and analogies.

As a Gemini, I am very figurative in my style of communication, but then again, I am also a North Node Virgo, so I do like to include details, ingredients and specifics into my writing. I can't just write a horoscope that uses the same language and descriptions every other astrologer uses. Nor will write using esoteric and cryptic language than only a few people understand. I am a literal and figurative speaker, listener and translator.

It helps to have some common sense when communicating. People 'should know' when someone is being literal or figurative, but then some people just like to be difficult communicators and they enjoy debate or challenging someone else's communication skills or level of intelligence. You know the type.

Well today with the Moon (emotions) squaring Mercury, you will need to tune-in with your literal and figurative ears. Getting hung up on a detail saying, "Well you said . . ." may make this day harder on you than it will anyone else. Literal language can be like being questioned on the witness stand. "Didn't you say . . ."

Literal leaves no room for imagination, interpretation or comparison. In figurative language there is likely allegoric, metaphoric and symbolic examples. Literal language leaves no room for interpretation, as it says what it means and means what it says. Figurative language is more colorful and it will exaggerate just to INFLATE what was said so that what was said can be easier to understand.

So my dear little Astrotators, CHOOSE! Will you be more literal than figurative today, so you can land yourself in a hot debate and maybe land yourself in a social media communication crisis? Or will you be a little of both. I think common sense tells us when to be literal and figurative, but then again, I am a Gemini with a North Node Virgo.

As a side note - if your 2025 Solar Return is coming around and I have ALREADY written a Natal Chart or Solar Return for you in the past, meaning you are already a client, then you can email me at the email address that I used when I sent your chart (it's an AOL address), and let me know you want your 2025 Solar Return Report written. You must already have been a client. As far as phone readings, new clients are always welcome. I'll do phone readings until I turn to Light and leave the planet. (winky wink)

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
