A meaning is a theme, not a portrait

Mercury may introduce communication and the Moon a familiar response. That does not establish whether a conversation went well. Circumstances and feedback are needed for that conclusion.

Add the relationship

If the bodies are near a square, a symbolic question may concern a mismatch between words and needs. Check the degrees first, then look for an example without assuming the mismatch occurs in every conversation.

Allow a different answer

Ask when the description resembles an actual situation. If no example is available, do not keep broadening the claim until something fits. The note can remain a possible reading not confirmed by experience.
