4/29/22 ✨ Mercury Enters Gemini, Pluto Stations Retrograde
✨ Happy Venus Day!
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I walk through energetic upgrades with ease.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♑️ PLUTO STATIONS RETROGRADE (28º) 11:36 AM PT
Retrograde season begins with Pluto starting its backspin through Capricorn. Just when you thought the planet of death and rebirth was making its way out of the sign of the goat, Pluto buys a little more time here. While Pluto has been making its slow, yet powerful trek through Capricorn, we've seen structures crumble and collective lessons learned. We could be forced to review the transformation that has taken place so far in order to complete our metamorphosis. Secrets or true intentions could be revealed over the next five months. Pluto will be retrograde until October 8, 2022.
MERCURY ➡️ GEMINI ♊️ (3:23 PM PT)
When Mercury moves into its home sign of Gemini, we gain a renewed interest in learning. Expect heightened curiosity and intellectual conversations. We'll have a clearer ability to speak and write. We are prone to dabbling in a wide variety of topics. Games that involve word play or quick thinking will seem especially fun- But be warned: The shadow side of this transit makes us prone to petty gossip and we can be easily distracted. In general, this transit could make it feel like the pace of our daily activities is picking up. **Mercury will station retrograde on May 10, so enjoy clarity while it lasts!

THE MOON:
🌘 MOON IN ARIES ♈️
The Aries moon keeps things spicy, building the energy ahead of Saturday’s solar eclipse. Under the waning crescent moon, we are asked to surrender and let go. If you’re feeling resistance or the tendency to control, physical movement can he a helpful outlet for tension. The fresh energy allows us to feel new emotions.
♈️ MOON SEXTILE ♒️ SATURN (24º) 6:00 AM PT
The moon gets support from Saturn, helping us act with maturity and patience- an especially helpful transit under the impulsive Aries moon. We’ll be very aware of our duties and responsibilities and ready to protect the people we hold dear. We are loyal and strong under this aspect.
♈️ MOON SQUARE ♑️ PLUTO (28º) 2:00 PM PT
The Aries moon comes into a harsh 90º angle with Pluto, forcing our shadows into the light. This transit could feel especially uncomfortable or agitating as Pluto just stationed retrograde. Subconscious tendencies could blindsight us, making us more compulsive or manipulative. Power struggles are possible. But whatever this transit pushes out into the open can be released for the better, helping us break bad habits or release density.
VOID MOON FROM 2:00 PM - 5:30 PM PT - Take the afternoon off! The void moon asks us to rest and tie up loose ends before the weekend.
🌑 MOON ➡️ TAURUS ♉️ (5:19 PM PT)
The nearly new moon enters Taurus, getting into place for Saturday’s solar eclipse. This makes for the perfect Friday night in as we’re nurtured by comfort. But if we happen to spend the end of the week out on the town, we’ll want nothing but the finest things in life. Give yourself permission to delight your senses- wherever you spend the evening.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The tension is rising and energy is shifting ahead of Saturday’s solar eclipse! Pluto stations retrograde for the next five months, revealing shadows and forcing us to review the transformational journey we’ve been on. Mercury celebrates a homecoming as it moves into Gemini, picking up the pace and igniting our curiosity. Our focus could feel a bit scattered over the coming weeks. The Aries moon keeps things spicy. Moving our body can help us release tension and surrender to the alchemy of the universe. The moon connects with Saturn, helping us slow down and find maturity. But when the moon and Pluto lock into a harsh square on Friday afternoon, power struggles are possible. Beware of letting your subconscious take over. The moon enters Taurus on Friday night, enhancing our senses and helping us reflect on our values.
