1/7/23 ✨ Mercury Cazimi
✨ Happy Saturn Day!
SUN IN CAPRICORN | MOON IN CANCER >> LEO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I understand.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♑️ SUN CONJUNCT ♑️ MERCURY rx (16º) 4:56 AM PT
Mercury retrograde passes through the heart of the sun just hours after the Cancer Full Moon. We refer to this phenomenon as Mercury Cazimi- a moment when the planet of communication takes over as ruler of our solar system for just a moment as the sun’s rays supercharge its influence. (The word “cazimi” comes from the Arabic term for “in the heart of the Sun.”) Aha moments and profound insights are possible as we process the emotions that surfaced during the full moon and throughout the day following. Viewing our feelings through a practical lens can lead to realizations about our past and how we want to proceed forward.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
🌕 FULL MOON IN CANCER ♋️ (6:15 AM PT)
The full moon comes home to Cancer, amplifying our emotions and allowing us to attune our intuition. Our emotional and physical feelings are linked with the moon in the sign of the crab. Nurturing comes naturally. We crave safe spaces and mothering energy. This moon can make us feel nostalgic and sensitive.
♋️ MOON TRINE ♓️ NEPTUNE (22º) 3:00 AM PT
Potent dreams and heightened sensitivity are expected when the moon harmonizes with Neptune. Subconscious messages can flow through with ease, helping us process any emotions that have been trying to surface under the full moon. Keep a dream journal handy!
♋️ MOON OPPOSITE ♑️ PLUTO (27º) 1:00 PM PT
Power struggles are possible today when the moon opposes Pluto. Deeper emotions are surfacing now, but trying to deny them or control them could lead to explosions. This is an opportunity to nurture our pain and shadows, embracing our darkness.
♋️ MOON CONJUNCT ♋️ LILITH (29º) 5:00 PM PT
It’s all too easy for our bitchy side to come out when the moon meets up with Lilith- especially if we’re feeling emotional. Beware of lashing out on others in an attempt to gain control. Instead, witness the capacity of your own power and ask how you can use it for good.
🌖 WANING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ LEO ♌️ (6:40 PM PT)
It’s time to let our hair down and play a little after an emotionally heightened full moon. We can begin our release through having fun and finding joy. After illuminating how to mother ourselves, we can allow your inner-child out into the safe space we cultivated.
♌️ MOON TRINE ♈️ JUPITER (2º) 11:00 PM PT
Harmony between the moon and Jupiter gives us a boost of excitement and spontaneity! We might feel like staying out late and keeping the party going tonight. It’s easy to feel optimistic.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Saturday opens us to powerful realizations as we process the emotions that surfaced during Friday night’s full moon. As Mercury retrograde meets up with the Capricorn sun, aha moments and breakthroughs are possible. This is called Mercury Cazimi- as the planet of communication passes through the heart of the sun, our mental state is highly activated. The Cancer full moon makes her final connections. Overnight, a harmonious angle to Neptune makes for potent dreams- take note of the messages that come through. A mid-day opposition between the moon and Pluto makes for intense moments and power struggles. Instead of trying to manipulate or control, observe deep emotions as they surface and ask how you can nurture them. This evening, the moon meets up with Lilith, bringing out our inner-bitch. There’s a fine line between powerful and overpowering. The moon moves into Leo tonight, inviting us to lighten up and release through play!
