4/1/24 ✨ Mercury Stations Retrograde
✨ Happy Moon Day!
SUN IN ARIES | MOON IN CAPRICORN
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: Slowing down helps me find clarity.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
☿ MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE ♈️ (27º) 1:58 PM PT
Slow down, turbo! Speaking out of turn could lead to full blown wars as Mercury moves backward through the feisty and fiery sign of Aries. Confrontational communication is par for the course, but let’s try not to let it get totally out of hand, okay? Aries energy likes to move fast and get to the point, but talking too quickly could lead to major mistakes. We could find ourselves getting newly irritated over issues from the past. Tech glitches and travel delays could make us want to scream. Our temper will we quicker than normal during this retrograde. If (when) frustration arises, it’s an invitation to slooowwww down. Say less... literally. Lean into the ability to share what’s on your mind through non-verbal communication- Actions speak louder than words. On a positive note, we could remember former passions, enjoy hobbies we loved as a kid, or even dust off an old favorite book.

🌗 LAST QUARTER MOON IN CAPRICORN ♑️
The Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn invites us to release our grasp on the long-term plan and let go of our expectations. As focused as we may be on the future over the next few days, the current energy asks us to stay in this present moment. Reflecting on the past can help us appreciate how far we’ve come and celebrate our progress. We’re very aware of the passage of time now. Appreciating our ancestry and acknowledging our lineage can help us connect more deeply to our sense of success. Imagine if your ancestors could see how far you’ve come.

We can take action this morning as the moon makes a supportive sextile to Mars. Motivation is easy to reach for this Monday morning! With the moon in Capricorn, our drive to succeed feels natural.

A 90º square between the moon and sun marks the Last Quarter Moon and the peak point of release in this cycle. Let go of the need to stick to a plan now.

We reach an emotional turning point as the moon squares the North and South Nodes late tonight. We have an opportunity to release karmic contracts and leave the past in the past. In fact, this is necessary to become the person we are destined to be.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Hit the brakes! Mercury stations Retrograde in Aries, forcing us to slow wayyyy down. A tendency to communicate quickly could lead to crossed wires. Tech glitches are possible too.
