Astrology for Monday, 18 November 2019:

The skies are relatively quiet today. The Moon in Leo makes a square to Mercury moving retrograde through Scorpio. These are the last days of this retrograde before Mercury stations direct and begins retracing its path through Scorpio for the third time. Mercury has been moving through a process of deep review of our hidden feelings, those places far beneath the surface where the pressure builds up the closer we approach. Mercury is trying to find the words and courage to translate these profoundly vulnerable parts of ourselves to others, and the Moon in Leo is reminding us to show up and be seen. Leo describes the courage to blaze brightly and brilliantly in all the ways that feel abidingly true. As the Moon wanes, this could be a time to remove and let go of whatever is preventing us for showing up authentically. What are the messages that you tell yourself about why you must hold back, keep some parts hidden, withhold acknowledgement from parts of who you are? What if those messages are no longer true? What if they never were?
