Hey there,

Today, Mercury and Lilith meet in a powerful conjunction, peaking at 1:13 PM PT, bringing a bold, raw energy that invites us to rethink how we express our truth.

Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, aligns with Lilith, symbol of the repressed, the independent, and the unapologetically real. Together, they create a space for us to connect intellect with instinct and see what happens when we stop hiding the parts of ourselves that feel “too much.”

Just yesterday, I was talking with a friend about how, for so long, I felt my own shadow was something to be hidden.

I used to believe those darker, messier parts of me were best kept quiet, like they were “bad” aspects of who I am. But I’ve come to realize that hiding these sides doesn’t protect us; it holds us back.

It keeps us trapped in a smaller version of ourselves, chained by the fear of judgment or misunderstanding. When we keep parts of ourselves locked away, we’re never truly free, never fully present.

But today’s energy gives us an incredible opportunity: what if we didn’t need to keep any part of ourselves hidden? What if we allowed ourselves to embrace everything, the bright and the shadowy, the refined and the raw?

This alignment reminds us that it’s by accepting all of who we are, especially the parts we think we need to hide, that we find our true strength and liberation.

Our shadow isn’t here to shame us; it’s here to empower us. When we can stand confidently with every part of who we are, we invite a kind of freedom and authenticity that radiates from within, touching everyone we meet. In the meantime consider asking our AI Astrologer for help.

Today's Chart Suggestion

In love, this alignment encourages us to show up as our whole selves, shadows and all, which can deepen intimacy and trust. Under this influence, our partners might see sides of us that are usually guarded, leading to transformative conversations that break down walls and bring a sense of liberation. While this energy can feel intense, it’s also an invitation to move past superficial connection and discover how freeing it is to be fully seen and accepted.
