Words carry extra weight when you speak, and you have this uncanny ability to say exactly what someone needs to hear at their most vulnerable moments. Your Mercury conjunct Chiron gives you a natural gift for turning painful experiences into wisdom that helps others heal. You understand that the deepest conversations happen when people drop their masks, and you're comfortable sitting with someone's raw truth in a way that most people simply can't handle.
The flip side is that your own communication can feel like walking through a minefield sometimes. You might hold back from saying what you really think because you're hyper-aware of how words can wound, or you find yourself overthinking every conversation for hidden meanings. But here's what makes you special - your past hurts have given you a translator's skill for emotional pain. You can take someone's messy, complicated feelings and help them make sense of it all. Your mind naturally bridges the gap between intellectual understanding and emotional healing, making you the friend people seek out when they need both clarity and compassion.
This Mercury conjunct natal Chiron transit is bringing up some old stuff that's been sitting in the back of your mind for way too long. You're going to find yourself having conversations that cut straight to those tender spots you usually avoid talking about. The good news is that Mercury is giving you the words to finally express what's been hard to say, and Chiron is ready to help you heal those old wounds instead of just carrying them around.
Your brain is working overtime right now, connecting dots between past hurts and current patterns in ways that might surprise you. Those moments when you feel extra sensitive during conversations aren't weaknesses showing up, they're actually breakthrough opportunities disguised as discomfort. Pay attention to what comes up when you're talking with people because transiting Mercury is helping you process and release stuff that's been weighing you down for years.
