11/29/22 ✨ Mercury Opposite Mars and Sextile Saturn
✨ Happy Mars Day!
SUN IN SAGITTARIUS | MOON IN AQUARIUS >> PISCES
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am intentional with my thoughts and words.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♐️ MERCURY OPPOSITE ♊️ MARS rx (19º) 12:30 PM PT
Slow down and watch your words. When speedy Mercury faces off against Mars (retrograde), we’re prone to speaking out impulsively. Our lips are already loose with Mercury in Sagittarius, but this transit removes yet another filter. Speaking off the cuff could get us into trouble… especially if we’re feeling Mars’ aggressive influence. Take a beat before telling someone off… and while you’re at it, watch your tone too! We’re all feeling a little more combative and expressive under this aspect. Mood swings are a possible side effect.
♐️ MERCURY SEXTILE ♒️ SATURN (19º) 8:17 PM PT
We can understand lessons and make sense of things more easily Mercury and Saturn lock into a supportive angle. This aspect allows us to be the teacher or the student, bringing mental focus and asking us to take things seriously and keep it real. With the opposition to Mars playing out at the same time, criticism is a little too easy to fall into today. Our words can come across as harsh or cold.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN AQUARIUS ♒️
As the waxing crescent moon moves through Aquarius, we’re invited to take a different approach to charting the path ahead. Staying open to new perspectives brings through new data we might not have noticed before. We enjoy being around people who let us be totally ourselves and express our eccentric side.
VOID MOON UNTIL 4:15 PM PT
The moon is void for most of the day, dampening the effect of tense transits playing out in our solar system. Tie up loose ends or take time to reflect on new perspectives gained under the Aquarius moon.
🌓 FIRST QUARTER MOON ➡️ PISCES ♓️ (4:15 PM PT)
The moon moves into Pisces this afternoon, marking the first quarter phase in la luna’s cycle. As we begin to take action on the intentions we set under last week’s new moon, we can tap into our spirituality and move forward with a sense of trust. The actions we take during this Pisces moon could be healing as well.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Loose lips sink ships and today, it’s all too easy to blurt words out! Mercury opposes Mars, making us more impulsive and aggressive in our communication. It’s as if we have no filter. Irritating thoughts are a possible side effect too. Slowing down and taking a beat before speaking can keep us out of trouble. And it will be easier to slow down when Mercury makes a supportive connection to Saturn this afternoon. This helps us keep our senses about us and understand lessons more easily. We benefit from mental focus, but we can also come across as harsh or cold. How we’re communicating will determine how our day plays out. The Aquarius moon is void for most of the day, putting a welcome damper on the touchy energy. When the first quarter moon moves into Pisces, we can begin to move forward with a sense of trust that everything is going to work out.
