The Moon's square to Mercury can trigger difficult discussions where needs are not adequately expressed or bold displays are not understood (and considered loud/obvious). Heart is at odds with mind and words may not be sufficient to bridge the gap. The tension can make you aware of what you need but aren't getting.

Then, the Moon conjoins BML and there's a breakthrough - taboo energy involving female sexuality, power and "unacceptable" behaviour is accessed. A level of comfort and pride is achieved with what was previously uncomfortable and shameful. Moon/BML can also manifest as the uncommon mother who shines from the darkness.

The trine to Chiron adds a healing release as wounds (and the feeling of being an outcast) are embraced. The only way through the pain is to feel the pain and accept what others find unacceptable. In the process, your light intensifies.
