4/29/23 ✨ Mars Sextile Uranus
✨ Happy Saturn Day!
SUN IN TAURUS | MOON IN LEO >> VIRGO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I can choose to do things differently in any moment.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♋️ MARS SEXTILE ♉️ URANUS (18º) 1:04 PM PT
Mars and Uranus come into a supportive sextile, asking us to take action that spurs change. We desire innovation under this aspect. Uranus’ disruptive nature of implores us to do things differently today and trust in the motion we feel called to intuitively. We could also experience a shift in our motivations. But be warned— we’re also more impulsive when these two planets lock into a 60º angle. We could feel the need for a thrill... Take a beat before diving in headfirst. Check with your intuition.
♉️ MERCURY RX SQUARE ♌️ LILITH (12º) 7:59 PM PT
Watch your words! As Mercury squares Lilith, it’s easy to be harsh or reactive when speaking. Especially with Mercury in the practical and stubborn sign of Taurus, our speech (and thoughts) could cut deep. We feel the urge to speak out against injustices and take a stand under this aspect. Remember- you attract more bees with honey than vinegar. How you say something can be the difference between someone truly listening rather than shutting down. It’s easy for messages to get lost in translation with Mercury now retrograde.

THE MOON:
🌓 FIRST QUARTER MOON IN LEO ♌️
The first quarter moon in Leo invites us to move as our inner child would. Take playful action. Let it be creative. The sillier the better. Our emotions can feel like they’re on display, so we might as well put on a show! Just be careful not to let your inner toddler run the show- tantrums are possible- especially in eclipse season.
♌️ MOON TRINE ♈️ JUPITER (25º) 2:00 AM PT
Good vibes keep the party going late into Friday night as the moon harmonizes with Jupiter. But this flowing connection also has the potential to wake us up early or spark over-the-top dreams.
VOID MOON UNTIL NOON
The moon goes void until noon this Saturday morning, inviting us to take it slow. We might even feel sleepy to start the day. Wait to start anything new or jump into action until the moon enters Virgo.
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ VIRGO ♍️ (11:59 AM PT)
The waxing gibbous moon in Virgo gives us the ability to analyze our current situation and make adjustments to correct course. We’re more aware of details over the coming days, helping us better observe how to take care of ourselves and serve others. We might even feel comforted by planning our next steps.
♍️ MOON OPPOSITE ♓️ SATURN (5º) 10:00 PM PT
A late-night opposition between the moon and Saturn makes us crave isolation, but loneliness and sadness are possible side effects. It’s all too easy to fall into negativity or self-pity during this transit.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Do it different and make it weird. Mars and Uranus connect in a supportive sextile today, inviting us to take action that spurs innovation. We are encouraged to try new things and follow our intuition. Watch your words tonight, though! Mercury squares Lilith, making our communication extra spicy. But with Mercury Retrograde, crossed wires are certainly possible too. Being sassy or harsh can be easily misconstrued. The moon is void for most of the morning, starting our Saturn Day on a slow note. When the moon moves into Virgo, we can hone in on details, observing what needs to be adjusted to correct course. The waxing gibbous moon opposes Saturn late tonight, making us crave alone-time. But it’s all too easy to be overly critical or negative now. Don’t believe every thought you think or emotion you feel. Instead, try to view them as part of a much larger data set.
