7/05/23 ✨ Mercury Square Chiron
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN CANCER | MOON IN AQUARIUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I acknowledge what tension is here to show me.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♋️ MERCURY TRINE ♈️ CHIRON (19º) 9:27 PM PT
Triggering conversations could lead to healing realizations. A tense square between Mercury and Chiron forces us to acknowledge our wounding. With Mercury in nurturing Cancer, our solution could involve approaching our pain with softness and compassion. If we feel threatened or insecure, it could be easy to put up our defenses or hide behind our “crab shell.” Watch your words- hostility is possible if we’re not mindful about how we’re communicating- especially with Lilith also forming an aspect to Chiron at the same time. Moodiness can be perceived as bitchiness or anger.

THE MOON:
🌖 WANING GIBBOUS MOON IN AQUARIUS ♒️
There’s liberation in letting go! The moon begins her two-week release in Aquarius, inviting us to break free from convention. We are nurtured by community over the coming days, but we could feel a need for our own space as well. The Waning Gibbous moon favors introspection, asking us to find time to ourselves to process what was illuminated during the full moon. New perspectives and innovative shifts are possible if we keep our mind open.
♒️ MOON SQUARE ♉️ JUPITER (10º) 3:00 AM PT
The moon clashes with Jupiter, keeping the Fourth of July festivities going late into the night. But it’s easy to go overboard during this transit. Mishaps and unwanted attention are possible if we overlook details and get caught up in a grand plan or big idea.
♒️ MOON OPPOSITE ♌️ LILITH AND SEXTILE ♈️ CHIRON (19º) 5:00 PM PT
As the moon reaches her closest proximity to Earth, she illuminates what has been hiding in the distance. An opposition between the moon and Lilith allows us to clearly see repressed desires, but it could feel like a stretch to actually fulfill those needs now. A simultaneous sextile to Chiron can make this a healing moment- just simply by acknowledging the truth we’ve been avoiding.
♒️ MOON SQUARE ♉️ URANUS (21º) 9:00 PM PT
Upsets, mood swings, and abrupt changes are possible tonight when the waning moon squares disruptor Uranus. We might feel an intense urge for a thrill. This transit could make it difficult to fall asleep or wind down- especially for little ones who are more sensitive to the energy. Lean into the tension by throwing something different into your nighttime routine to satisfy the urge for excitement.
♒️ MOON OPPOSITE ♌️ VENUS (23º) MIDNIGHT PT
We crave affection and love as the moon squares Venus overnight. We could have sweet dreams about lovers or visions of desires fulfilled. Late-night connection between the sheets would be favored under this passionate opposition. Bonus points if you can get a little creative or try something new!

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
This Wednesday is anything but smooth sailing. As tension arises, it shows us what still needs to be healed. Mercury clashes with Chiron, forcing us to acknowledge our pain. If insecurities pop up, it might be tempting to put up our guard, but Mercury in Cancer asks us to stay soft instead and approach our wounding as a nurturing mother would. The waning moon in Aquarius makes tense aspects throughout the day as well. An overnight square to Jupiter kept over-the-top 4th of July celebrations going late. Expect more disruptions tonight- Another square between the moon and Uranus sets the stage for unexpected changes and surprises. Late-night thrill seekers could get themselves into trouble. As the day comes to a close, the moon opposes Venus, making us crave love and affection. Trying something new between the sheets could led to new levels of passion and connection. A midnight snack could be in order too…
