7/27/23 ✨ Mercury Conjunct Venus Rx
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
SUN IN LEO | MOON IN SCORPIO >> SAGITTARIUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: My thoughts create my experience.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ MERCURY CONJUNCT ♌️ VENUS RX (28º) 8:15 AM PT
We become consciously aware of what this Venus Retrograde is going to bring up for us this morning as mental Mercury meets up with Venus in Leo. You might notice your mind wandering to memories of past lovers or friends. Loving thoughts and words come easily. Past negotiations or agreements could come back around to be reviewed. Notice if your ego is telling the story- with these planets meeting in Leo, it’s easy to put ourselves at the center of the plot. One of the best ways to use this energy is to think about past passions and hobbies that made you feel alive in your youth! You might find new inspiration in fond old memories!

THE MOON:
🌓 FIRST QUARTER MOON IN SCORPIO ♏️
The First Quarter Moon in Scorpio invites us to take action from our deepest depths. When we’re willing to face our own darkness, we can move with greater power and awareness. Our most intense emotions are the impetus for our next steps. Knowing our fears allows us to uncover our truest desires.
♏️ MOON OPPOSITE ♉️ URANUS AND SQUARE ♌️ LILITH (22º) 3:00 AM PT
We start the morning with a spicy T-Square between the Scorpio moon, Uranus, and Lilith! Intense interactions, disruptions, changes of plan, and tech glitches are all possibility. And they could trigger a desire to rage against the machine! Remember- you can only control how you respond to change. This activating aspect can force us to reach into our depths and innovate!
♏️ MOON TRINE ♓️ NEPTUNE RX (27º) NOON PT
Creativity and intuition flow this afternoon under a harmonious connection between the moon and Neptune. But this transit can make us highly sensitive as well. If you feel a little foggy, protect your energy and connect with your psychic senses. An afternoon nap could be just what the doctor ordered.
♏️ MOON SQUARE ♌️ VENUS RX AND ♌️ MERCURY AND SEXTILE ♑️ PLUTO RX (28º) 2:00 PM PT
Intense cravings and deep desires could surface as the moon clashes with Venus Retrograde. With Mercury in the mix, there’s tension between our head and our heart. A sextile to Pluto connects us to our subconscious- this transit could look a lot like self sabotage. Our mind and our body have different agendas. Feelings from the past could bring discomfort in the present. But allowing ourselves to feel brings opportunity for transformation.
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ SAGITTARIUS ♐️ (5:24 PM PT)
The growing moon in expansive Sagittarius is an invitation to follow suit! This is a time of generosity, optimism, and learning. We can lean into the good vibes and expect more energy as we approach next week’s full moon. This moon phase gets the party started, helping us feel more friendly and social.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The journey we’re embarking on this Venus Retrograde becomes clearer as messenger Mercury meets up with the planet of love, money, and beauty in Leo. Fond memories (or former lovers) could come to mind, stirring up familiar desires. Negotiations or transactions from the past could come up for review too. The Scorpio moon forms a T-Square to Uranus and Lilith this morning, forcing changes that could disrupt our plans. A trine to Neptune amplifies our sensitivity and connects us with our intuition. When the moon squares Venus and Mercury this afternoon, we could feel tempted to self-sabotage. Our cravings could override our rational mind. The moon enters Sagittarius this evening, giving us permission to indulge and expand!
