🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
🌑 NEW MOON IN TAURUS ♉️ (28º) 8:53 AM PT
Buds will bloom. All good things take time.
The new moon in Taurus brings our focus to the physical resources around us. We can bring in new energy through financial opportunities and tangible offerings. As Taurus Season comes to a close, we could find a new lease on our values and sense of security. There's a natural determination to go after whatever we have our sights set on now. After a wild eclipse season, we have a clearer sense of what we really want to prioritize and invest our time and energy into. The best way to use this energy is to ground and connect with the earth.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
♉️ NEW MOON SEXTILE ♓️ NEPTUNE (27º) 7:00 AM PT
A supportive angle between the moon and Neptune connects us with our intuition. This infuses magic into the intentions we set under the new moon. We are co-creating with Spirit
♉️ NEW MOON SEXTILE ♋️ MARS (29º) 10:00 AM PT
Another sextile to Mars puts energy behind our intentions, giving us the motivation to put them into action. We can move from a grounded, embodied place under this sensual connection. Even baby steps can have a major impact under the new moon.
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ GEMINI ♊️ (11:48 AM PT)
Just after the peak of the new moon, we feel a shift as she enters Gemini. We’ll feel more outgoing and social heading into the weekend. Our words can help us process our emotions. Talking with someone we trust or confiding in our journal can help us gain clarity around the intentions we’re setting now.
♊️ MOON TRINE ♒️ PLUTO RX (0º) NOON PT
The energy is shifting and we’re starting to understand the alchemy that occurred through eclipse season. We’re becoming more aware of how we’ve transformed and what is still unfolding. But in the same breath, we’re also incredibly eager to continue this evolution. Let it happen.
♊️ MOON SQUARE ♓️ SATURN (6º) 11:00 PM PT
After a heightened (and possibly magical) day, a square between the moon and Saturn could feel like crashing hard. This aspect is notorious for bringing up doubts and limiting beliefs. Late-night anxiety is possible too with the moon in mentally-activating Gemini.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Eclipse season officially comes to a close under the New Moon in Taurus. We can use the grounded energy of this new moon to take slow and steady steps forward. Supportive sextiles to Neptune and Mars help us take action on inspiration and trust in what’s to come. While Neptune connects us with spirituality and magic, Mars in Cancer keeps is rooted in our bodies in this reality. Shortly after the moon becomes new, she moves into Gemini, setting the stage for a socially stimulating weekend. A trine to Pluto allows us to understand how eclipse season has transformed us and makes us eager to continue our alchemy. Late tonight, the moon squares Saturn, bringing the energy to a halt. After a highly energetic day, we could crash hard.
