Moon, meet mercury
It’s far from the first time they are meeting, this is just their monthly meeting for November. The moon will conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius at 9:03 AM est, after which point they will begin to separate and the influence will lessen.
When the moon and mercury meet, it’s an occasion when you can anticipate a flurry of information, that the computer processor that lives in your head will be whirring. You may be enduring a situation with a lot to be mentally unpacked, or there may be a problem that requires solving, it could be a period with many conversations to have… it’s an occasion for talking, thinking, writing, & busy work. It’s also the perfect moment to craft some awkward run-on sentences for your blog- like I’m doing right now! This is what happens when you attempt to formulate thoughts before your coffee has kicked in, how on-brand for mercury in Sagittarius.
Mercury is in exile in Sagittarius, it is now a planet far from home in a foreign country, where it struggles to read the street signs or communicate with the locals. When mercury transits Sag, its life is slightly more complicated, it is a planet with less bandwidth, and thus represents a time when humanity has less mental bandwidth. Thinking and communicating (mercurial things) are a bit more preoccupying, some of our most essential activities, that should be easy, simply aren’t.
This moon-mercury meeting, however, is receiving some Venusian support- we love to see it! Despite this period’s complications, we aren’t having a terrible time because we are feeling connected with those around us. Sharing an experience with others makes it easier to bear and sometimes it even makes the experience more fun. This Venusian influence also signals that this is an occasion when we are taking better care of ourselves and tending to our physical and mental needs, y’know self-care OR WHATEVER. Again- we love to see it!
