Mercury squares the Big Three today

Mercury is moving quickly through Taurus and today it forms a challenging square to the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Aquarius. Mercury is the processor of our experiences; it digests the stuff of our daily existence and converts it into usable data that can be run through the software of our mind.  
The square is a challenging 90 degree formation and today it may be difficult to process the emotions that are springing forth as a result of the triple conjunction.  But as with any challenging aspect, the discomfort of the challenge forces us to find a way to mediate it and come up with a solution. 
For the next couple of days don’t be alarmed if you are feeling somewhat distressed and unable to make sense of the way you feel.  Try to relax and listen to the voices of the mind and the heart, and see if there is a way to negotiate a compromise.  
While Mercury is squaring off against the Big Three, it is also in a harmonious alignment (sextile) to Uranus, the planet of innovation and fresh ideas.  Mercury and Uranus are great allies and the presence of Uranus here adds more mental agility.  Listen to the intuition that comes at a moment’s notice, and follow its advice.

This has been a tough transit for many people, including myself. Mercury will be much easier to work with once it returns to Gemini on Saturday. :-)

I have my natal Chiron in Taurus in the 6th House. This position is like continuous scratching of wounds of soul, which are unable to heal up.
Now, Mercurury transit in my 6th House in Taurus is making me vocal anout my wounds. Along with it, I am having current Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron Conjunction by transit in my 3rd House of Communication in Aquarius.
For me, this situation is like communicating my sufferings, pains and wounds. The position of Chiron in Taurus is like reminder of unhealed wounds every time.

Sheesus! I sure hope so, Neith. Perhaps there really is no place like home.

For me, things were more stable when Mars was transiting Aries for the last 5 weeks. Now that it’s in Taurus, people are cashing me out of their lives in every corner. It’s like they always wanted to do this, and now they are. Sucks.

Southeast, Chiron teaches that the wounds of the soul DO heal. They do need to be scratched, but then as we embrace their teachings the wounds are released.
This transit of Mercury over the Big Three as I am now fondly calling them has been good for business. I don’t remember ever doing so many readings, as people are wanting to make sense (Mercury) of what’s happening to them.
Bill, at the risk of sounding all lecture-y, it sounds like there is something in your own psyche that is being activated here. Perhaps it is more difficult for you now to stand up for yourself now and you are allowing yourself to be taken advantage of. We often experience transits of Mars as coming from outside of us when really they originate within.

According to my chart, Uranus is at 26 dg Pisces, which is the same degree as Neptune, Jupiter in Mecury…creating all of the aspects mentioned in this blog. HOWEVER, nothing is being said about surprising, unexpected Uranus. Which, by the way could be adding to the confusion and all. Why no mention of this transit I wonder?
