Mercury/Chiron reactivates a painful conversation from Dec 15th and Jan 11th (the previous two squares). Wounds are triggered due to harsh commands/rules or words that are disrespected. The more authority you try to express when you communicate, the weaker you feel (or sound).
The struggle involves confronting (rather than repressing) what hurts and with the final square you may experience a breakthrough.
Mercury's opposition to Pallas (building to her own square with Chiron on Jan 28th) says this is the culmination - sensitive patterns from the past/childhood are involved and this could be about finally calling out the issue that's been part of your home life. Perhaps the solution is revealed as certain familial patterns are identified. At this turning point, you can stop repeating what hurts by putting a name to it.
Juno/Ceres presents another culmination, this time involving unbalanced nurturing in a partnership. The contract between you and another needs to be adjusted or ended- one person is giving all or is being smothered. The exchange is not equitable and in the lifecycle of the relationship this is an ending - if things continue after this point the dynamics of care will be very different. In the context of Mercury's aspects, we can see how uncomfortable discussions have brought you to this point.
