☽ ☌ ☿︎ Moon conjunct Mercury

Emotional thinker · Words that soothe · Instinct meets reason · Talkative inner world

Moon conjunct Mercury places your feelings and your thinking side by side, so the way you talk about what you feel often becomes the way you make sense of it. You tend to process emotions by putting them into words, and you may find that a quick conversation or a written note settles you more than silence does. This placement is about an inner life that is closely tied to language, memory and the stories you tell yourself.
