7/28/23 ✨ Mercury Enters Virgo
✨ Happy Venus Day!
SUN IN LEO | MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: There is no rush to find what is meant for me.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ MERCURY TRINE ♈️ NORTH NODE (29º) 12:34 AM PT
We can see the path ahead and align our mindset with our purpose as Mercury harmonizes with the North Node. Thinking about the future comes naturally now! With Mercury at the anaretic 29th degree, we’re eager to make sense of where we’re going. We might be tempted to jump to conclusions or communicate more quickly than normal in attempt to achieve a sense of knowing. It’s a little too easy for our ego to take the mic now!
♌️ MERCURY ➡️ VIRGO ♍️ (29º) 2:32 PM PT
Pay attention to the fine print.
Clear and effective communication is key when Mercury returns to a place of power in Virgo. We're more detail oriented with our thoughts and words over the next few months. It will feel easier to make sure every "t" is crossed and "i" is dotted- just beware of being overly critical... we're very aware of the fine print now! We're also cognizant of how our words affect others with the messenger planet in the sign of service. Taking up a daily journaling practice or incorporating our thoughts and words into our rituals is especially powerful now. **Mercury will be in Virgo much longer than normal because of an upcoming retrograde from August 23 - September 15.

THE MOON:
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️ SAGITTARIUS ♐️
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.
♐️ MOON TRINE ♌️ SUN AND SQUARE ♓️ SATURN RX (5º) 3:00 AM PT
We have plenty of confidence and vitality to work with as the moon and sun connect early Friday morning, but feelings of doubt or fear could pop up unexpectedly too. A square between the moon and Saturn can make us feel sad or low. Saturn’s influence can feel like a limiter on the vibrant energy we feel from the Leo sun.
♐️ MOON SQUARE ♍️ MARS (11º) 1:00 PM PT
Irritation and aggravation flare when the Sagittarius moon squares Mars. Beware of impulsive action- this transit makes us want to move quickly without fully thinking through our next steps. Anger and accidents are possible side effects.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Think fast! Impulsive energy dominates this Venus Day. Mercury spends the morning at the 29th degree of Leo, making our mind restless. A trine to the North Node gives us the urge to make sense of our destiny. When Mercury moves into Virgo this afternoon, we can see the details more clearly- but criticism comes quickly too! Remember- words carry power. The Sagittarius moon adds to the spontaneous energy of the day. We wake up feeling pulled between optimism and doubt as the moon connects with the sun and Saturn. Recklessness is possible this afternoon when the moon squares Mars, making us want to act on our emotions with little-to-no thought. Moving too quickly could cause accidents or aggravation. Dance, run, or find your own way to break a sweat to release pent up tension.
