8/10/22 ✨ Sun Square North + South Nodes
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN LEO | MOON IN CAPRICORN
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I give myself the love I crave.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ SUN SQUARE ♉️ NORTH AND ♏️ SOUTH NODES (17º) 3:43 AM PT
The Leo sun forms a 90º angle to the North Node in Taurus (and a simultaneous right angle to the South Node as well.) This aspect activates our purpose, forcing us to acknowledge the lessons we’ve learned and the path ahead. This transit can act as a turning point in our consciousness, especially if we’re willing to tap into our heart this Leo season. We are still in the midst of the Lion’s Gate Portal, making this a potent moment for ascension. We might even find an urge to express ourselves and step into our confidence along the way.

THE MOON:
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON IN CAPRICORN ♑️
The waxing gibbous moon makes its final connections in Capricorn before becoming full. When the moon is in the sign of the sea goat, we experience our emotions through a more practical lens. But in the same breath, we can be disconnected from our intuition this morning. Make any logical adjustments needed to help you see your intentions come to fruition under tomorrow night’s full moon.
♑️ MOON TRINE ♉️ MARS AND SEXTILE ♓️ NEPTUNE rx (23º-24º) 2:00 AM PT
The moon harmonizes with Mars and gets support from Neptune overnight. Neptune’s influence likely helps us sleep (thank goodness,) but our dreams could still be very active or even aggressive. If you experience this transit first thing in the morning, expect a surge of energy to start your day.
♑️ MOON CONJUNCT ♑️ PLUTO rx (26º) 6:00 AM PT
Can you say intensity? When the Capricorn moon meets up with Pluto, dark emotions can be realized. This brings up feelings from deep within and activates the part within us that seeks control. Dramatic moments are possible.
♑️ MOON OPPOSITE ♋️ VENUS (28º) 9:00 AM PT
The Capricorn moon’s final connection is an opposition to Venus, making us needy and hyper emotional. We’re quick to reach for anything to help us feel good. Comfort food is tempting now. Especially as Venus comes into the anaretic degree of Cancer- we can expect to be extra in our feels today.
VOID MOON - 10:00 AM - 11:45 AM PT
The moon is void for a brief window this morning before it moves into Aquarius. Take a moment. Have a rest.
🌕 FULL MOON ➡️ AQUARIUS ♒️ (11:45 AM PT)
The moon approaches peak fullness in Aquarius today, illuminating what makes us unique. Aquarius energy makes us want to be around the people who just get us. We are nurtured by collective belonging, but we als crave the space to be able to express our individuality. This full moon asks us to stay open to new perspectives and insights while getting clearer on our own boundaries as we navigate changes.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
On the final day of this moon cycle, emotions run high. The Capricorn moon meets up with Pluto and opposes Venus, bringing up intense feelings and making us needy for affection. Compulsive tendencies could pop up (ie. reaching for comfort food or poking at a partner to get attention.) But the Leo sun locks into a T-square with the North and South Nodes today too. Tuning into our heart can bring a shift in consciousness. We can give ourselves the love we crave. The moon moves into Aquarius this afternoon, illuminating what makes us each unique. Major lessons and new insights can be realized under this full moon if we can stay open to new perspectives and honor what we’ve already learned. Don’t be afraid of change. We aren’t meant to stay the same. Free yourself.
