March 28th, 2023: Mercury Conjunct Jupiter

• First Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Aries Sun (8 deg)

• Mercury in Aries conjunct Jupiter (18 deg)

The First Quarter Square can be volatile as anger/impatience stirs things up. The urge to withdraw or strike out are signs that deeper feelings must be acknowledged- you're not being "too sensitive."

If you feel it, it's valid. Use the turmoil to make some changes - if you're being pushed, if you don't feel safe or you're trying to avoid the whole thing (spoiler - you can't) you need to step up and assert your needs. Look after yourself and honour the sensitivities of others (maybe they're being pushed by you). 

Mercury/Jupiter adds big thoughts and courageously optimistic speech. The messenger can point you towards something beneficial. Words rush out, fuelled by passion and righteousness.

Great for looking ahead to something better and considering a potential that you would never have approached in the past. But there is a risk of fanatical declarations that leave no room for nuance (Jupiter in Aries can be a bit simplistic regarding truth). 

Mercury/Jupiter is absolutely convinced that a certain line of thought is correct. This can point you in the direction of a great opportunity but it can also steamroll anyone who doesn't agree. At its best, it's boldly open-minded. At its worst, it's the screaming fanatic. In the context of the First Quarter Square, you can use the optimism and courage to create necessary change.
