The Moon is void until 9:34AM EDT when she comes home to Cancer - now we are nurtured/nourished by home, family, real estate, mom and apple pie. Her only aspect comes at 9:57PM EDT when she squares the Libra Sun.
The square is this month's Third Quarter Square - the Sun and Moon's final square before the New Moon next week, one last chance to adjust/turn a corner on something. Happening at 6 degrees, the square is Cancer/Libra.
The Sun in Libra is airy/detached - seeking balance/fairness, sometimes peace at any cost. The Moon in Cancer is emotional/attached - seeking nourishment/stability, sometimes safety at any cost.
Squares speak of tension/challenge.
Situations are apt to highlight what is out of balance within our partnerships/contracts/one-on-one interactions. The Cancer Moon wants her needs met, we can feel especially sensitive to detachment or power imbalances. Or maybe this 'getting our needs met thing' (or someone else's) involves some uncomfortable nurturing. We want a partner not a parent. Or they do.
With us at the very beginning of a long Mercury back and forth through Libra, we don't want to push anything under the carpet - unless we want to be dealing with an elephant under the rug later on - which sounds kind of messy and hard to vacuum.
If the Libra Sun is all smiles 'nothing to see over here, everything is just fine' then why is the Cancer Moon crying herself to sleep?
If one partner's lack of emotion is triggering the other partner's insecurity - this needs to be addressed. If one partner's neediness is triggering the other partner's need for balance/space - this needs to be addressed. Give and take.
Not because everything needs to be all 'even-steven' all the time - the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes are the only times we are truly balanced, and that only lasts for a New York minute - the rest of the time the 50/50 split thing is nearly impossible, not at all a goal worth pursuing in the short term. In the long term though, fairness/equity, should be required reading for all of us. Balanced stuff lasts.
This square can also show up in very literal terms - a relationship/partnership/contract vs home/family/real estate/mom. A Cancer vs a Libra.
Cancer and Libra are cardinal signs - they kick off new seasons. Their squares require action (at their heart are identity crises). When planets occupy these signs and square each other, like today, the changes the tension/frustration FORCE can be impactful/lasting. There is more potential to initiate something new here.
So, pay attention. If this isn't hitting your personal chart and even if it is, this is likely to be a small thing/fleeting. It's just something we want to address and not stuff/feed - we don't want to be tossing peanuts to an elephant who is going to rampage our living-room next week when the Moon meets the Sun meets Mars meets Mercury retrograde.
