Mercury wants to sort and say; Lilith remembers what got banished when you tried to stay acceptable. Their square can tighten the jaw and quicken the pulse. You may hear yourself blurt the line you swore you’d never speak, or catch the bitter tang in your tone when you finally name a double standard. Conversations carry scent trails of old shame and anger, and even your inner monologue gets spicier. It’s not just about arguments; it’s about the psyche demanding that language reckon with the parts of you that refuse to be trimmed for comfort.
Working consciously with this tension means giving the exiled voice a chair at the table, not the head of it. Slow the reflex to explain or attack, and get curious: what truth am I defending, and what wound is driving my speed? Draft the raw version, then sand it—keeping the truth, removing the splinters. Let silence help; let the body weigh in. This is an initiation into a wider honesty where intellect serves wholeness, and taboo wisdom finds a way to speak without burning the bridge it needs to cross.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Conversations edge into territory that feels charged—desire, resentment, power, consent, the history you don’t name. If you stay with the feeling without making the other a villain, deeper trust can emerge from the friction.
Work & Purpose
Emails, meetings, and negotiations highlight politics and unspoken rules. You may be moved to call out what’s unfair; craft your message so it’s sharp on truth and soft on ego.
Creativity & Expression
Taboo themes and raw humor want airtime. Journaling, poetry, or performance can channel heat into form, turning private ache into precise, resonant language.

This period invites you to practice a brave kind of clarity—the kind that tells the truth without abandoning care. You don’t have to choose between kindness and honesty; you can honor the pulse of anger or desire while letting your words be guided by what would actually help.
When you feel the spike, pause long enough to locate the tender center underneath. Speak from that place. The goal isn’t to win, but to be real and intact—mind and instinct in the same room, facing the same horizon.
I let my untamed truth speak in a voice that can be heard.
