March 31, 2023 – Mercury conjunct Eris

Mercury conjunct Eris in Aries

Degree and Time
Mercury, Eris 24°Ar24′ – 13:29 (BST)

‘But what about THIS?’ Eris shoves her nose in where it isn’t wanted. Just when we thought we were on a roll, along comes the Goddess of strife and discord with her annoying comments and pointy finger. ‘YOU!’, she says, looking at Mercury. ‘What do you have to say for yourself?’ Actually, it’s a lot, mostly expletives. If only Mercury would stop for a moment and listen. Avoid a war of words. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Sometimes the mind blurts problems where there are none. At other times we get an alarm call from the unconscious to say, you need to look at this!  Rather than shouting down inner (or outer) voices, sit with them a moment to see if there is any truth to them.

For some, today’s aspect may be exactly the warrior mindset needed to galvanise action, bravely speak up or challenge others. With asteroids Vesta and Einstein involved in this discussion, brilliant revelations of sacred knowledge are possible. Be open to new theories.
