7/22/23 ✨ Leo Season Begins & Venus Stations Retrograde
✨ Happy Saturn Day!
SUN IN CANCER >> LEO | MOON IN VIRGO >> LIBRA
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am ready to rise.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♋️ SUN SQUARE ♈️ NORTH NODE (29º) 5:45 AM PT
The sun makes a tense T-square to the North and South Nodes as it exits Cancer and enters Leo. This marks a turning point in our awareness. This transit illuminates both the past and the future, marking a fated moment. Upgrades in consciousness are possible if we’re willing to lean away from our comfort zone. We can close the book on old stories and generational patterns now and begin paving our own path forward.
☀️ SUN ➡️ LEO ♌️ (6:51 PM PT)
When the sun returns home to Leo, we can tap into the energy of our heart and let our own light shine more easily. We’re more vibrant, courageous, and proud over the next month! This a potent season for creativity and romance as we tap into drama, passion, and play. This is the time for bold expression and fun! The more authentic we are to our true selves, the more magnetic we’ll be. Let your lion’s mane down and roar!
♌️ VENUS STATIONS RETROGRADE (28º) 6:33 PM PT
The planet of love and money stations retrograde in bold and passionate Leo until September 3. Retrogrades are prime time to reflect, review and revise. With Venus in the sign of the inner child, taking a trip back in time and remembering what we used to do for fun can open us to new creative energy. Simply playing and expressing our selves can allow abundance to flow to us more easily. Retro beauty looks could have their moment in the sun- This transit screams big hair! But fair warning- past relationships could pop back up over the next 40 days. Drama from previous seasons of life could give an encore during this retrograde.

THE MOON:
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN VIRGO ♍️
The waxing crescent moon in Virgo asks us to look at the fine print as we make plans for our next steps. Our attention to detail makes us adept at analyzing all possible outcomes as we figure out the best route to realize our intentions. Productivity comes naturally, but remember to take care of your body! Self-care can help us regulate our emotions over the coming days.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♉️ URANUS (22º) 7:00 AM PT
There’s a sense of excitement and anticipation as we wake up under a trine between the moon and Uranus. We might even get a spontaneous urge to try something new today! We’re certainly focused on the future- innovative ideas could come through too.
♍️ MOON OPPOSITE ♓️ NEPTUNE RX (27º) 5:00 PM PT
The last few hours of Cancer Season could feel especially sensitive as the moon opposes Neptune. Our emotions might feel magnified to the point of delusion. Beware on taking on others’ energy during this transit. Compassion can easily turn to enmeshment.
♍️ MOON TRINE ♑️ PLUTO RX (29º) 9:00 PM PT
In the final moments of Cancer season, the moon harmonizes with Pluto (with the sun opposing the planet of death and rebirth too!) This is the moment the phoenix begins to rise from the ashes of what has burned over the past cycle. How can what has fallen away alchemize into something new. The resourceful Virgo moon can show us how to use this compost most efficiently. We’re eager to transform now.
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ LIBRA ♎️ (10:54 PM PT)
The waxing moon glides into Libra this Saturday night, restoring balance and harmony. We’re nurtured by our relationships over the coming days, seeing ourselves more clearly as we mirror others. As the Libra moon approaches a point of action, we are invited to find the path of least resistance forward.
♎️ MOON SEXTILE ♌️ SUN (0º) 11:00 PM PT
We end the day under a supportive sextile between the moon and sun, gently ushering us into a new season. We can find confidence and vitality under this transit. We’re eager to experience pleasure.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The transition from Cancer Season to Leo Season marks a powerful moment. As the sun exits the sign of the crab, it makes a tense T-square to the North and South Nodes, creating a fated turning point in our consciousness. We must release what we think we know in order to open to new awareness. At nearly the same time as the sun makes his homecoming into Leo, Venus starts her 40-day retrograde. We can expect a review of our passion, sensuality, feminine energy, and relationships over the coming weeks. We can feel the air of anticipation, hope, and transformation as the Virgo moon connects with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto throughout the day. When the waxing moon glides into Libra late tonight, we can come back to our emotional center. Over the next few days, we are nurtured by our closest relationships, seeing our own feelings mirrored back to us by others.
