8/3/22 ✨ Mercury Enters Virgo
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN LEO | MOON IN LIBRA
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I have everything I need.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ MERCURY ➡️ VIRGO ♍️ (11:58 PM PT)
Clear and effective communication is key when Mercury returns to a place of power in Virgo. We're more detail oriented with our thoughts and words over the next three weeks. It will feel easier to make sure every "t" is crossed and "i" is dotted- just beware of being overly critical... we're very aware of the fine print now! We're also cognizant of how our words affect others with the messenger planet in the sign of service. Taking up a daily journaling practice or incorporating our thoughts and words into our rituals is especially powerful now.
**Mercury is at the anaretic degree ALL day today, making us quicker to speak. Thoughts could feel like they’re racing as well. Try not to blurt out anything you’ll regret later.

THE MOON:
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN LIBRA ♎️
The waxing Libra moon helps us remain balanced and neutral. We can process emotions best by relating to others and seeing the situation through their eyes. Amidst the chaotic energy of the week, the Libra moon helps us come to our center and see both sides of the story.
♎️ MOON OPPOSITE ♈️ CHIRON rx (16º) 4:00 AM PT
We could gain some clarity on what still needs to be healed as the moon opposes Chiron. This can trigger our pain, but in the process, we can understand what adjustments we need to make to find peace. Pay special attention to your dreams last night. Any recurring elements could be signs of the trauma you’re still storing in your subconscious.
♎️ MOON SQUARE ♋️ VENUS (20º) 11:00 AM PT
We could feel needy today as the moon squares Venus in Cancer. We’ll want to reach for quick fixes to feel pleasure- especially in the form of food or bodily comfort. Under the Libra moon, it’s easy to want other people to fulfill our desires. Avoid codependent tendencies and pause before you indulge.
♎️ MOON TRINE ♒️ SATURN rx (22º) 3:00 PM PT
A harmonious angle between the moon and Saturn brings understanding. Lessons can be learned from seeing new perspectives. We can process our emotions through a more mature, practical lens this afternoon.
♎️ MOON SQUARE ♑️ PLUTO rx (26º) 11:00 PM PT
Power struggles are possible late tonight as the moon squares Pluto. Watch out for manipulation tactics- especially in your closest relationships. Deep emotions could surface unexpectedly as well. If powerful feelings are coming up, ask what message they are bringing before acting on them.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
We could feel a bit agitated or jumpy today. Mercury spends the day at the final degrees of Leo, making us quick to speak (or blurt out) bold statements. Slowing down is key to navigating the energy. But Mercury moves into Virgo overnight, bringing clarity, precision, and analysis over the coming three weeks. If you’ve been seeking a clear answer on something, this transit could offer it. The Libra moon helps us remain balanced, but we could also be indecisive or needy in relationships when the waxing moon squares Venus. This gives us the urge to reach for a quick fix to feel pleasure- especially when it comes to food or bodily comfort. We can gain a greater understanding of the lessons we’re learning as the moon harmonizes with Saturn this afternoon, helping us be more mature and practical. Late tonight, the moon squares Pluto, marking an abrupt change (or power struggle.) Stay centered amidst the intense energy.
