Moon at odds with natal Mercury
What is meant and what comes out stop matching. Overthinking and misspeaking both get easier, so hold the important email until tomorrow and answer only what is safe.
In detail
Transit Moon in challenging aspect to natal Mercury sets a tense angle between the two, totalling about ten hours at 12 to 15 degrees a day with a 3-degree orb. Mercury organises language while the Moon supplies the emotional material, and under tension the feeling arrives before the sentence, so what comes out lands a notch heavier than intended and the same exchange keeps getting rehearsed internally. Where the soft angle removed a translation, this one adds one, which makes moving anything important outside the window the cheapest handling.
