1/12/23 ✨ Mars Stations Direct
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
SUN IN CAPRICORN | MOON IN VIRGO >> LIBRA
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: My relationships are my teachers.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♒️ VENUS SEXTILE ♈️ CHIRON (12º) 10:46 AM PT
Relationships are our greatest teachers along our healing journey. As Venus in Aquarius forms a supportive angle to Wounded Healer, Chiron, looking at our relationships through a different lens can lead to new realizations. Friendships can benefit from this transit too. A light quip among friends could provoke something much deeper, allowing us to see how much progress we’ve made and where we still need to heal.
♊️ MARS STATIONS DIRECT (8º) 12:56 PM PT
When the planet of motivation and drive stations direct, we can resume forward motion. Mars' backspin through Gemini asked us to review what we really want and where our energy is being pulled. With the intel we gathered during Mars' retrograde, we can now move forward with clarity and progress on projects or ideas birthed in 2022. We're gaining momentum and the pace is picking up. With Mars in stimulating Gemini, it's easy to multitask- but beware of starting too many things at once! Mars is still in its shadow period until the beginning of March. We can tap into the wisdom of Capricorn season to take things one step at a time and set a steady and sustainable pace as we go after our desires!

🌖 WANING GIBBOUS MOON IN VIRGO ♍️
The waning moon in Virgo is an invitation to release expectations. We crave purity and cleanliness under the moon in the sign of the virgin. Instead of holding other people to our own standards, we are invited to focus on what we can control. Cleaning your house and tidying up your environment could bring a sense of emotional comfort over the coming days.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♑️ SUN (21º) 2:00 AM PT
Grounded confidence comes easily as the moon harmonizes with the sun. Our internal emotions are balanced with our external expression.
♍️ MOON OPPOSITE ♓️ NEPTUNE (23º) 6:00 AM PT
We wake up feeling sleepy and confused when the moon opposes Neptune. The pull back to dreamland is especially strong. Fantasies are attractive and our imagination is heightened. Our sensitivity is heightened as well.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♑️ PLUTO (28º) 4:00 PM PT
Transformation unfolds as the moon connects with Pluto. We can understand what is falling away in order to make room for a new beginning. Intense emotions surfacing now can show us where we need to loosen our grip or let go all together.
VOID MOON FROM 4:00 - 7:00 PM PT
The energy dies down, acting as a welcome diffusion from intense emotions. This is an opportunity to find closure or clear the air.
🌖 WANING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ LIBRA ♎️ (6:57 PM PT)
The waning moon in Libra reminds us that our relationships are our greatest assets. By connecting with others, we can better process our own emotions. Sharing how we’re feeling with trusted allies can help us identify what we need to release in this moon phase.
♎️ MOON OPPOSITE ♈️ JUPITER (2º) 11:00 PM PT
Watch out for going overboard when the moon opposes Jupiter late Thursday night. Late-night bursts of energy are possible. It’s easy to be too optimistic or overly generous. Let go of people-pleasing.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
It’s on! Mars stations direct after a three-month retrograde through Gemini. While the planet of motivation, aggression, and action has been moving backwards, we’ve been forced to slow down and assess how we’re using our energy and what we really want. As Mars resumes forward motion, so can we! Venus connects with Chiron today as well, reminding us that relationships can be our greatest teachers on our healing journey. The Virgo moon opposes Neptune, making us sleepy or confused first thing this morning. It’s tempting to stay in dreamland a little longer than normal. A trine to Pluto this afternoon allows transformation to unfold and deep emotions to surface. When the waning moon moves into Libra tonight, we are nurtured by our relationships. Sharing how we’re feeling with the people closest to us can help us process our emotions. The moon opposes Jupiter late tonight- watch out for overdoing it!
