MOON TRINE MERCURY

This aspect shows an easy flow of energy and is generally considered favorable. You will mostly experience trines as talents and advantages. However, trines can also show areas which are the line of least resistance. This means that you may be letting these talents slip by unnoticed and that you are lacking motivation.

It is important to understand that the Moon rules the home and the family. It also rules the emotions, feelings, sensitivities and moods, while Mercury rules the reasoning and conscious mind that forms conclusions. The Moon is emotional, while Mercury is intellectual. This aspect represents good energy between the unconscious and conscious mind. Here the emotions have common sense attached to them.

This aspect makes it easier to communicate your thoughts and feelings. In fact, this is the perfect time to say, "Honey we need to talk." While this aspect reveals a charming person, this energy can also be, at times, manipulative.

The Moon trine Mercury in its ability to manipulate others through communication reminds me of a scene from 'Sex and the City' when Charlotte was at a hoity-toity dinner with her husband Trey and his mother (Bunny). Trey ordered a drink and then Bunny suggests to Trey a different drink while touching his forearm at the same time and gently rubbing it. Trey immediately changed his mind by that suggestion and touch. She did it again at the same dinner when asking what they were doing later in the evening. Charlotte picked up on it and when she and he were out to dinner alone, she did the same thing to get him to change his mind on his salad choice. Venus trine Mars has that kind of manipulative flare as well.

The Moon trine Mercury has the gift for making decisions that are based on feelings (the Moon) and the mind (Mercury). The planet Mercury reasons and thinks; therefore, this aspect reveals a shrewd, careful mind that has common sense and reasoning power. There is power in your ability to reason.

There are few, if any, emotional anxieties and if there are any, you are fully aware of them and can handle them reasonably without drama and fanfare.

When it comes to dealing with other people, this aspect helps you to evaluate reactions to events, people and situations rather quickly. The mind is able to comprehend, retain and use the information effectively. It also has one insanely retentive memory. You will remember everything!

This aspect is an effective communicator and has a pleasing way of expression. It is logical, reasonable, just and kind.

This aspect favors communication with those in the home simply because the Moon rules the home and the family. There is also a tendency for discussion of health, nutrition, diet, fitness and daily lifestyle and regimen since Mercury naturally rules Virgo and Gemini.

The Moon trine Mercury does not dwell on the negative, instead it will focus on the positive and move toward it. This aspect has a tendency to help others turn their negative mind into a positive one.
