4/3/23 ✨ Mercury Enters Taurus
✨ Happy Moon Day!
SUN IN ARIES | MOON IN VIRGO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am willing to dig deeper.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♈️ MERCURY ➡️ TAURUS ♉️ (9:22 AM PT)
Know your values. Know your worth.
Mercury begins an extended trip through Taurus thanks to an incoming Mercury Retrograde! Expect the pace to slow with the planet of communication in the earthy, grounded sign of the bull. Communication and conversation gets a little more practical. We’ll be slower to commit to plans, but more sure of our values and desires, making this a favorable period for decision making. This is a great transit for financial negotiations and talks about money (outside of the retrograde window) We’ll experience more willpower and a higher capacity for concentration
♈️ MERCURY SQUARE ♒️ PLUTO (0º) 11:55 AM PT
A clash between Mercury and Pluto creates an environment for intense and deep thinking! This transit can also make us compulsive with our words or obsessive with our thoughts. Power struggles could play out in conversations (or debates.) There’s an eagerness to get to the bottom of things. If we turn this energy inward, we could be forced to realize our own subconscious tendencies or structures. Where has your mind been fixed? Can you dig deeper?

THE MOON:
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON IN VIRGO ♍️
The waxing moon in Virgo acts as an invitation to collect more information. We have the ability to analyze our emotions when the moon is in Virgo, helping us better understand ourselves and plot our next steps. Paying attention to details can pay off. Assess what adjustments need to be made to move towards the intentions you set under the new moon.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♉️ URANUS (16º) NOON PT
Harmony between the moon and Uranus brings excitement and innovation. Even with both planets in grounded earth signs, this trine makes us open to surprises and thrills. Trying new things and taking new approaches comes naturally now.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♉️ VENUS (21º) 10:00 PM PT
Love flows tonight as the moon makes a balanced connection to Venus. Sensual touch comes naturally and it’s easy to see the beauty in life. Cash flow could benefit from this aspect too. It feels good to feel love.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Expect a lot of mental activity- Mercury is making moves this Monday! The planet of communication transitions into Taurus to begin the week, giving us the ability to slow our thoughts and reflect on our values. There’s a natural determination that comes along with this transit, especially today as Mercury squares Pluto at 0 degrees. This cosmic clash forces us to dig deep into our psyche and see what’s been hiding in the shadows. Obsession and manipulation are possible side effects, but there’s great potential to see a new perspective if we’re willing to tolerate the discomfort of truth. The waxing Virgo moon makes harmonious trines to Uranus, then Venus, helping us stay open to trying new things and flowing through change. We end the day in a beautiful, loving energy. Let your senses lead the way.
