🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♊️ MERCURY SEXTILE ♌️ VENUS (11º) 8:29 AM PT
When curious Mercury in Gemini supports Venus in Leo, it’s easier to notice the beautiful details in life. We might even feel nostalgic, finding ourselves looking back at the past through rose-colored lenses. We express our appreciation and enjoy talking or think about our passions. We’ll be drawn to activities and conversations that bring us pleasure. This transit could also bring pleasant news.
♓️ SATURN STATIONS RETROGRADE ⬅️ (10:27 AM PT)
Lessons learned are wisdom gained.
The Father of the Zodiac begins his annual retrograde, asking us to inspect our foundation and make sure we're standing on solid ground. Saturn is also associated with big lessons, making this 5-month period a time of karmic reflection. We'll be reviewing our relationships to authority and the ways we are (or aren't) disciplined. We could revisit old rules and consider new ways of holding people responsible. Any blurry boundaries or faulty foundations will be revealed. This is Saturn's first retrograde in Pisces in nearly three decades. The challenges we've been facing can bring profound spiritual wisdom. Rather than asking what will stand the test of time, we could find ourselves pondering the concept of time and space all together.
🌑 NEW MOON IN GEMINI ♊️ (26º) 9:36 PM PT
Sharing our ideas helps them blossom.
The New Moon in Gemini allows a new narrative to begin. This is a time to get curious and ask questions. Bounce ideas off trusted friends or family or simply confide in a journal. Words are our superpower now. Speak your intentions into existence. Be open to new information and collaboration- it could bring clarity about the path ahead. This is also a favorable time to upgrade tech or transportation. This new moon forms a square to Neptune, activating our imagination. Our vision for the future could be a little blurry now, but our intuition can act as a lightbulb of inspiration under the dark moon!

Active dreams and a motivated morning are in the forecast. We can wake up driven by the promise of a new chapter.
♊️ NEW MOON SEXTILE ♈️ CHIRON (19º) 7:00 AM PT
Support between the moon and Chiron opens us to healing as we prepare to embark on a new journey.
♊️ NEW MOON SQUARE ♓️ NEPTUNE (27º) 11:00 PM PT
Find a soft spot to land because a late-night square to Neptune could bring on overwhelming sleepiness tonight. Confusion could set in too. We could be forced to trust our intuition in this foggy state.
