🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
THE MOON:
🌓 FIRST QUARTER MOON IN CANCER ♋️
The first quarter moon in Cancer asks us to take embodied action. We can use the information we’ve received since we set intentions under the Aries New Moon to take action that aligns with our emotions.
♋️ MOON QUINCUNX ♒️ SATURN (22º) 6:00 AM PT
An uncomfortable connection between the moon and Saturn could allow worry or doubt to creep in. This transit could remind us of adjustments we need to make before we are ready to move forward.
♋️ MOON TRINE ♓️ JUPITER AND ♓️ NEPTUNE (23º) 8:00 AM PT
The moon harmonizes with conjoined Jupiter and Neptune, making us feel hopeful, optimistic, and deeply caring. This transit brings ultimate good vibes, especially if it’s spent with family or close friends. You might even find yourself crying happy tears as the energy aligns with universal love and spiritual understanding. (This transit also gives us a nice little boost of the Jupiter/Neptune energy that will grow stronger over the next four days.)
♋️ MOON SEXTILE ♉️ NORTH NODE (24º) 10:00 AM PT
As the moon comes into a separating sextile with the North Node, pushing us along the Yellow Brick Road toward our purpose. We continue to integrate the lessons we’re learning along the way, but we’ll feel confident about the progress we’ve made so far.
♋️ MOON QUINCUNX ♒️ MARS (25º) NOON PT
The moon makes an awkward connection to Mars. We’ll be aware of the need to do things differently, but we could find it difficult to get out of our comfort zone today. Baby steps can help us adjust to new waters.
♋️ MOON SQUARE ♈️ MERCURY (27º) 4:00 PM PT
As the moon forms a harsh 90º angle to Mercury this afternoon, our words could get a bit ahead of us… especially if we’re feeling emotional. Beware of speaking before you think or talking off the cuff. Bold words could provoke an emotional response without intention. When in doubt, slow down and listen to your intuition.
♋️ MOON OPPOSITE ♑️ PLUTO (28º) 6:00 PM PT
The Cancer moon faces off against Pluto in Capricorn on Saturday night, creating an environment of emotional intensity. Our subconscious could reflect back an inaccurate depiction of the situation at hand. We’re more prone to power trips, especially if we’re feeling exposed or vulnerable. This transit does have the potential to make for a transformative moment if we lead with compassion and remain open.
🌓 MOON ➡️ LEO ♌️ (9:00 PM PT)
The moon enters the sign of the lion on Saturday night. Over the coming days, we’ll feel more expressive, creative, and nurtured by play. Our emotions can be a bit dramatic with the waxing moon in Leo, but taking a bold approach can help us make progress to see our intentions realized by next weekend’s full moon.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Saturday’s First Quarter Moon in Cancer asks us to take action from an embodied state. While we make headway towards the intentions we set under the Aries New Moon, we are aware of the need to do things differently in order to nurture our body properly. Uncomfortable connections between the moon, Saturn, and Mars help us make adjustments accordingly. A flowing trine between the moon, Jupiter and Neptune brings an abundance of good vibes and an optimistic outlook. You might even find yourself crying happy tears as you realize how far you’ve already traveled along your own personal Yellow Brick Road. But tension could return on Saturday night when the moon squares off to Mercury— watch your words. Being too quick to speak could provoke an emotional response. As the Cancer moon opposes Pluto, we could come face to face with subconscious patterning or beliefs that are influencing our wellbeing. Prepare for an energy shift as the moon enters Leo tonight.
