5/18/23 ✨ Sun Sextile Neptune & Mercury Sextile Saturn
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
SUN IN TAURUS | MOON IN TAURUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I trust in the ever unfolding story of my life.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♉️ SUN SEXTILE ♓️ NEPTUNE (27º) 1:59 AM PT
The grounded Taurus sun gets support from dreamy Neptune, softening our awareness and opening our sensitivities. We can be more empathetic and compassionate under this helpful aspect. We’re more aware of of our spiritual consciousness as well, enhancing our psychic abilities and intuition. This transit brings a sense of trust and reassurance, even if life doesn’t totally make sense at the moment.
♉️ MERCURY SEXTILE ♓️ SATURN (6º) 11:39 PM PT
We can begin to put the puzzle pieces of Mercury Retrograde back together today and understand the lessons the Universe has been trying tot each us. A supportive sextile between the planet of communication and Saturn helps us make sense of our reality more easily. This aspect allows us to be the teacher or the student, bringing mental focus and clarity to situations that have felt confusing or delayed. Mercury in Taurus wants to keep things real, but with Saturn in Pisces, our intuition carries weight as well.

THE MOON:
🌘 DARK MOON IN TAURUS ♉️
When the dark moon enters Taurus, we are invited to sink deeper into our physical experience. In the final days of this moon cycle, we can find stillness in nature. This is the time to revel in our comfort zone and find peace in the lull before the next cycle to come. We are nurtured by anything that makes our body feel safe and secure as we prepare for a new chapter to begin.
♉️ MOON SEXTILE ♋️ VENUS (11º) 2:00 AM PT
An overnight sextile between the moon and Venus brings sweet dreams. Late night or early morning urges for physical pleasure could pop up too. After all, the moon and sun are both in the sensual sign of Taurus!
♉️ MOON CONJUNCT ♉️ URANUS (19º) 4:00 PM PT
Uranus could throw a wrench in well-laid plans this afternoon as the moon meets up with the planet of disruption and rebellion. Stubborn tendencies will only make changes (or surprises) more difficult to navigate. Remain flexible and expect the unexpected. Sometimes, a breakthrough looks like a breakdown. It’s always darkest before the dawn.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
In total darkness, it becomes easier to see the light. The Taurus moon is in her darkest phase today, inviting us to find clarity in stillness. Meanwhile, the sun gets support from Neptune, helping us soften our perception and open to spiritual insights. Our intuition is heightened, we just have to get quiet enough to listen. Late tonight, another sextile between Mercury and Saturn helps us begin to make sense of the lessons we’ve been learning through Mercury Retrograde. Staying grounded and open is key. But flexibility will be equally important this evening as the moon meets up with disruptor Uranus. Expect the unexpected! Surprises and changes are in the forecast. Remember- a greater plan than we can understand is constantly unfolding. Trust in what’s to come.
