The Moon square Mercury aspect is often associated with tension between emotions and logic. Many astrologers believe this aspect creates a struggle between what one feels and what one thinks, making individuals prone to mood swings or difficulty in expressing emotions clearly. However, because squares promote growth, some suggest that this aspect can also lead to strong communication skills when emotional awareness is developed.
In a birth chart, this aspect is commonly linked to a restless mind and fluctuating emotions. Some believe these individuals may overanalyze their feelings or struggle with making decisions based on logic versus intuition. Their greatest growth comes from learning to balance rational thought with emotional sensitivity.
When the Moon and Mercury form a square in the sky, it is thought to be a time of miscommunication and inner conflict. Many astrologers suggest this is a great period for self-reflection and understanding emotional triggers, though some caution against reacting impulsively or making decisions based on temporary emotions.
Moon is currently at 7° in the zodiac sign of Leo and Mercury is currently at 26° in the sign of Scorpio.
