Transiting Moon in Cancer square composite Mercury in Libra

When Moon does her monthly pirouette in the sensitive sign of Cancer, squaring that chatty diplomatic composite Mercury in Libra, prepare for some emotionally charged dialogue you two! This transit might cook up a storm of felt but unexpressed words, a bit like peas boiling unnoticed on high heat until "pop"! They're scattered all around the kitchen! Effective communication? Well, that may be akin to herding cats today.

The silver lining though, Mercury in Libra possesses stellar debate prowess. Instead of transmitting torrents of feelings, you'll aim for teetering libation scales, delivering a calm tête-à-tête. Sounds idyllic, right? Except there's a Catch-22, Cancer Moon might have forgotten to wear her boxing gloves. As you raise those verbal violins to the crescendo of soothing logic, boom! This soft-shell crustacean may inconveniently tear up, leaving Libra Mercury a bit flabbergasted.

To illustrate, consider this scenario. One of you decides to tidy up that labyrinth you call a garage. Simultaneously, the other decides on a Netflix binge-watching session. Eventually, an "innocent" question - "Have you seen the remote?" transmutes into a full-fledged discourse on the merits of cleanliness and chill versus recreation and relaxation. It's a classic case of the Cancer Moon's nostalgic attachment to the once, self-donned "I'm not a hoarder" label against Libra Mercury's inherent need for balance and harmony (including in their Netflix viewing schedule).

Take gentleness as an antidote, if emotional waves turn into a surfing competition for Triton! Use the diplomatic tact innate to your Mercury in Libra. Harmony should be your target, not trying to see who can strike the next emotional bullseye. Mindful interaction can become a lighthouse, leading you both carefully out of the shadowy depths and back to your cosy common ground.

So, when Mercury in Libra squares Cancer Moon, it's a bit like Salsa dancing with two left feet. With some patience and understanding, you'll manage to replace those jumbled steps with matured moonwalks!
