At any angle: Black Moon Lilith, the point associated with what is suppressed, taboo or fiercely independent, meets the other person's Mercury, how they think, speak and name things. Conversations between the two tend to reach subjects both usually keep quiet — desire, anger, shame, the things said only late at night — and words land with an unusual charge.
