✨ Happy Moon Day!
SUN IN CANCER | MOON IN ARIES >> TAURUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I trust in the path ahead and surrender to divine timing.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ MARS ➡️ VIRGO ♍️ (4:40 AM PT)
It's time for strategic action. When motivating Mars enters productive Virgo, there's no shortage to what we can accomplish. Calculated moves are our middle name. Not only are we driven to go after our desires, but we have a 10-step plan for how we will achieve them. This is a season to get sh*t done. As focused we are on our own mission, we are motivated by serving others over the next six weeks as well. We're able to cross every "t" and dot every "i" as we take meticulous action- as long as we don't let perfectionism hold us back from completing the tasks at hand! We are hyper vigilant during this transit, making us more prone to criticize how others are operating. We might even find ourselves adopting the age-old saying: "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."
♍️ MARS TRINE ♉️ NORTH NODE (0º) 8:55 AM PT
We’re eager to take action today, but even the smallest steps could help the path ahead unfold. Our destiny naturally reveals itself when we’re willing act on our ideas. With Mars now in meticulous Virgo, we might even be aware of how honing in on the details now can set us up for success in the future.
♋️ MERCURY OPPOSITE ♑️ PLUTO RX (29º) 1:47 PM PT
A battle of minds is possible as the planet of communication opposes Pluto. This transit signals propaganda and manipulations tactics, but secrets and attempts to control could be revealed with Pluto currently retrograde. Infusing emotion into dialogue can be used to twist perception. Getting fixated or obsessed about an idea is also possible today. The most positive use of this transit is intense research or getting to the bottom of a hidden agenda. Trust your intuition.
♋️ MERCURY ➡️ LEO ♌️ (9:11 PM PT)
Let’s get LOUD! Get ready for bold words and dramatic expression! Mercury in Leo brings communication to center stage. We're all a little more performative with the way we speak, write, and even think during this transit. This is the perfect time to make big presentations or pitch daring plans. We're proud of our ideas and we can speak them with confidence and courage. We might even notice the ability to speak at a louder volume. But fair warning- our ego could take the microphone mid-conversation. Make sure you're not hogging the spotlight or monologuing. Give other people space to share their own authentic expression too!
♌️ MERCURY SQUARE ♉️ NORTH AND ♏️ SOUTH NODES (0º) 10:08 PM PT
Messenger Mercury squares off to the North and South Nodes, creating tension between our understanding and our destiny. This could feel like we’re at a crossroads with how we express ourselves. We’ll be more aware of how we think and speak today, knowing how far we’ve come with our communication style, but also acknowledging room for growth. This can make talking or writing almost feel uncomfortable. Mercury in Leo brings an invitation to find more confidence in how we communicate.

THE MOON:
🌗 LAST QUARTER MOON IN ARIES ♈️
The waning moon in Aries asks us to release through action. Getting our blood pumping can clear energy and emotions over the coming days. Increased physical stamina and drive can make us feel agitated or frustrated. Movement is the antidote. This is the perfect day to let it all out.
♈️ MOON TRINE ♌️ VENUS (25º) 8:00 AM PT
Love and passion flow easily this morning under a harmonious trine between the moon and Venus. It’s easy to express our affection and hype others up today! We’re more confident when it comes to money and beauty too. Pleasure comes naturally.
♈️ MOON SQUARE ♋️ MERCURY AND ♑️ PLUTO RX (29º) 4:00 PM PT
The feisty Aries moon makes an ultra-tense T-square to Mercury and Pluto, forcing uncomfortable conversation or communication. Intensity is par for the course! Power struggles could be possible side effects. Watch your words. Trying to control or manipulate the situation will only create more friction.
🌘 WANING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ TAURUS ♉️ (4:56 PM PT)
As the moon moves through Taurus, she invites us to surrender our emotions to Mama Earth. Get grounded. Dig your feet into the dirt and let go. Finding physical comfort can provide the safety to loosen our grip. As the moon loses light every night, this week asks us to trust in the darkness, knowing the new moon will bring new light soon.
♉️ MOON CONJUNCT ♉️ NORTH NODE AND TRINE ♍️ MARS (0º) 4:00 PM PT
When the moon enters Taurus, she meets the North Node and harmonizes with Mars. The actions that feel natural are the ones that will lead us toward our destiny. Even small steps can have a big impact. Let go of the need to control the final outcome and trust in the moves that just feel right.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
We’ve got a LOT going on in the stars to start our week! Motivating Mars moves into meticulous Virgo, making us eager to be productive. Even the smallest actions can bring us closer to our destiny today as Mars harmonizes with the North Node. Meanwhile, Mercury goes on a journey of its own, opposing Pluto and squaring the Nodes of Fate. This configuration is called a Grand Cross, a highly-activating aspect that can force us to change the way we see the world around us. Conversations and interactions we have today could open us to deeper understanding. The Aries moon starts the morning in a sweet trine to Venus. But restlessness this afternoon could lead to power struggles. When the waning moon moves into Taurus this evening, we’re invited to ground into the earth and surrender to the pace of the unfolding journey.
