Mercury enters Scorpio this week and begins pushing Pluto in Aquarius in a square aspect. It pushes for answers, is curious, doesn’t leave a stone unturned and is in your face because it wants to know something. This is perfect if you are researching a paper, rewriting an agreement, and editing a paper. The two planets in a hard aspect can also create some harsh dialogue if not kept in check. Think about how you ask your questions. People will often answer your questions if you phrase it in unusual ways. Sometimes they won’t, especially if they are hiding something. How you present your idea, or your question makes a substantial difference in terms of the response you receive.
This is a wonderful time to put the final changes on a project you’ve been working on for even the last three years. The Mercury/Pluto square helps you maneuver through the forest of confusion often found when we are so knee deep in the information that we fail to simplify it in a way that others understand. Everyone learns differently which is why I try to make my presentations not only loaded with words but also loaded with imagery – because people ‘get’ stories and concepts better than just words on pages.
As the week unfolds and you enter into the Full Moon of Libra and Aries, some unexpected twists and turns may erupt since Chiron is right next to the Moon in Aries. Things or circumstances become known that were unexpected – and may change the game or direction you are taking. Consider this as a teaching moment and try to incorporate something that is more traditionally structured with the new concept you are trying to convey. This is the true gift of “Chiron” where you suddenly bring together the part that is split in your mind that needs a joining that is clear and provides a clearer path to the end you aspire to.
During this time community members offering support in your new endeavor may appear during the light of the Full Moon offering an even more avant-garde and fresh perspective that you never considered because you never knew about it. Reach out. Make a real phone call. Speak in real time with a live person. Personal meetings work much better than digital ones.
