At 4:42 a.m.: The moon is square Mercury
In the morning, the Aries moon squares Mercury in Capricorn, provoking stubborn behavior. Our first thought upon encountering a difference of opinion will be “how do I assert my authority in this matter?” Naturally, coming at conversations with a win/lose mentality sets up an automatic barrier to real understanding. The idea that someone else must be wrong for us to be right creates the need to legitimize our personal prejudices. Arguments or hurt feelings inevitably result. We should do our best to communicate that we simply don’t have the bandwidth to listen to others properly now, and table important discussions for another time.

At 4:57 a.m.: Mars is square Chiron
Shortly following this, Mars in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, escalating feelings born of the moon-Mercury square. We might be holding on to anger over events that happened in the past, and fast approaching our breaking point. Should we lash out, we’ll immediately regret our lack of self-restraint. Yet… how can we develop this muscle of control if we repress our feelings and pretend everything is fine? Rather than getting to a place where we are so tightly wound that we snap, we should strive to express difficult emotions in cases where the tension is not so fraught. Once we acknowledge that anger can be healthy, we can start to assert ourselves in ways that are not upsetting.
