The Waning Trine offers an easy outlet to share solutions and practical details. Others (especially those in authority) will respect what you point out, even if you're pointing out errors. 

Moon conjunct BML extends yesterday's Sun/BML trine so this portion of the lunar cycle (sharing your knowledge with others) has a controversial edge that's accepted. When the Moon and Black Moon Lilith conjoin, opposites unite- mother and lone witch, comfort and discomfort. Here, a specific flaw or fix that would normally be rejected (because it's ugly/distressing) is embraced. And within that embrace profound improvements and healing occur. You can use this influence to integrate parts of yourself (that others have rejected) into your daily routines. Parental issues may become important as the unconventional (and possibly frightening) mother reveals her raw, potent wisdom. 

Mercury (ruler of Virgo) stations direct, so there's momentum for the Waning Trine in the guise of answers and confirmed knowledge. The time of reviews and delays are over - now you see the truth (or lie). Now you understand the lesson. The promise has been proven or debunked- either way, you can move forward with the assurance that you have the whole story. Travel, legal matters, education and beliefs may be involved. 

Having said this, Venus square Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) confronts you with a block. Rules (or a sacrifice) are a wet blanket. You discover you can't have that. Or, you're judged for your exuberance. You experience pressure and insecurity (am I attractive/worthy/fun).  

But this is not a full stop. Rather, it's a test. The pressure of the crisis pushes you to do the work. There is an area where you need to grow up or stiffen your spine. When confronted by fears, get with Saturn's program and focus on what you need to prove or where you need to commit. This is also your reality check- certain beliefs (regarding relationships, money or personal values) may be challenged. If you can't carry them forward, cut your losses.
