5/31/23 ✨ Mercury Square Lilith
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN GEMINI | MOON IN LIBRA >> SCOPRIO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am mindful about what I share with others.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♉️ MERCURY SQUARE ♌️ LILITH (16º) 11:01 PM PT
Watch your words! As Mercury squares Lilith, it’s easy to be harsh or reactive when speaking. Especially with Mercury in the stubborn and pragmatic sign of Taurus, our speech (and thoughts) could come across as mean. 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.

THE MOON:
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON IN LIBRA ♎️
The waxing moon in Libra invites us to find balance as we forge ahead. This is the phase of the moon’s cycle when we can gather more information and make adjustments ahead of the full moon. Imbalances and injustices could be revealed to be rectified- especially in our relationships. How can you remain centered as you grow?
♎️ MOON SQUARE ♋️ VENUS (25º) 8:00 AM PT
We wake up feeling needy for affection and love as the moon squares Venus. This can also make us crave a sweet treat to start our day. Our desires feel immediate.
VOID MOON FROM 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM PT
The moon is void for most of the day, inviting us to tie up loose ends. This is a powerful window to make peace and find closure. Wait to start anything new until the moon enters Scorpio.
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ SCORPIO ♏️ (4:35 PM PT)
The waxing moon in Scorpio takes us into the depths of our emotions, revealing powerful truths that can help us get to our desired destination. The days leading up to the most abundant full moon of the year bring an opportunity to check in with our most raw feelings and hidden desires. What’s been waiting in the shadows to come to light?
♏️ MOON SQUARE ♒️ PLUTO RX (0º) 5:00 PM PT
Power struggles and mood swings are possible when the moon moves into Scorpio, immediately squaring Pluto. This can bring up our most intense emotions in a rather abrupt fashion. Deep truths can be revealed (or revisited) now. Allow emotions to move through without destroying the peace created under the Libra moon.
♏️ MOON CONJUNCT ♏️ SOUTH NODE (2º) 9:00 PM PT
A meeting of the moon and South Node signals a cathartic release. This is a powerful night to let go of anything no longer serving you. Even the awareness of what needs to be released is powerful now. We could become aware of what we’re ready to move away from after this full moon.
♏️ MOON OPPOSITE ♉️ JUPITER (3º) 11:00 PM PT
Impulses are hard to ignore when the Scorpio moon opposes Jupiter. We’re more prone to act spontaneously now. It’s possible to overshare or go too deep too fast. Are you being generous or attempting to control a situation? (sometimes, they’re one in the same!) Our deepest emotions could feel exposed or exploited now too.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
We wake up feeling the pull of our desires as the Libra moon squares Venus. This transit makes us feel needy for affection and pleasure. Then, we spend most of the afternoon under a void moon, giving us an opportunity to find peace and closure. When the moon dives into Scorpio this evening, a wave of intense emotions can come over us. An immediate square to Pluto makes us prone to mood swings and power struggles. But what’s surfacing is asking to be released as the moon meets the South Node, showing us what we’re ready to move away from. Watch your words late tonight! As Mercury squares Lilith, it’s all too easy to be mean or harsh in our communication. With the moon opposing Jupiter at the same time, speaking or moving too quickly could land us in hot water. Be especially mindful about what you’re expressing, how you’re communicating, and to whom.
