Aunt Starling's Reading

In May, Mercury slips beyond the sky’s ordinary limits, and because it lands in your house of partnerships, something in how you relate is about to feel unusually alive. You carry Chiron and your South Node there already, old wounds, old patterns, so this unruly Mercury may stir up conversations you’ve been holding back, truths that want saying in ways you don’t usually permit yourself.

The real gift lives in your 9th house, where your Mercury naturally sits. You think in big, searching ways, and this out-of-bounds moment gives you permission to speak what you’ve learned, to say the harder, truer things in your closest relationships without the usual hedging. The caution: that unfiltered quality is a tool, not a license. Use it to deepen understanding, not to wound. Your words will carry weight. Choose them with care and honesty both.
