6/15/23 ✨ Mercury Square Saturn
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
SUN IN GEMINI | MOON IN TAURUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I trust in the realizations coming to me now.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♊️ MERCURY SQUARE ♓️ SATURN (7º) 9:09 AM PT
Mercury squares off to Saturn, forcing us to face harsh truths and understand deep lessons. This transit can cause a temporary difficulty communicating as Saturn makes more doubtful or worried. We could also be prone to overthinking or find ourselves obsessively researching to attain as much information as possible. We can use this tension to our benefit by tapping into extreme mental focus and completing difficult tasks. At its best, this transit pushes us to communicate with authority and do hard things.

THE MOON:
🌘 WANING CRESCENT MOON IN TAURUS ♉️
The waning moon in Taurus takes us into full surrender. As long as we can remain grounded and stable, whatever is no longer meant for us can slowly drift away. Notice what sticks around when you stay connected to your core values. Release anything that feels unreliable.
♉️ MOON CONJUNCT ♉️ URANUS (20º) 1:00 AM PT
Upsets and disruptions are likely this morning as the moon pulls away from a conjunction to Uranus. Mood swings are possible too- especially for those who are lacking in self-care. Surrender to the chaos and nurture yourself through it.
♉️ MOON SEXTILE ♓️ NEPTUNE (28º) 2:00 PM PT
A supportive sextile between the moon and Neptune helps us trust and flow. But it could make us a little sleepy too! If you’re feeling like checking out, an afternoon nap or meditation session could be on the agenda.
♉️ MOON TRINE ♑️ PLUTO RX (29º) 5:00 PM PT
Harmony between the moon and Pluto allows intensity to alchemize and transformation to unfold. The disruptions of the morning can be burned away as we say farewell to the Taurus moon and prepare for a new chapter under the Gemini New Moon.
🌘 DARK MOON ➡️ GEMINI ♊️ (6:46 PM PT)
In the last day of this moon cycle, the moon enters flighty Gemini, stimulating our intellect. We can use our mind to process the emotions that have surfaced and the things we’ve released. Despite the social and mercurial energy of Gemini season, the next few days ask us to take a beat of stillness before taking flight again. 🦋
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Impactful lessons are learned and harsh truths are revealed today. Mental Mercury squares Saturn, creating obstacles that slow us down or bringing up fears and doubts. But at its best, this transit pushes us to do hard things. The moon and Uranus meet in Taurus overnight, causing disruptions and surprises to start the day. By the afternoon, it’s easier to slow down and trust in the transformation unfolding, even if we feel sensitive or overwhelmed. When the dark moon enters Gemini tonight, we are asked to find a moment of stillness to process everything we’ve attained and everything we’ve released in this past cycle. Finding stillness in our body can give our mind more energy to put the pieces together.
