🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
🌑 NEW MOON IN LEO ♌️ (23º) 2:37 AM PT
Shout your intentions, loud and proud!
When the moon and sun meet in Leo, we can set intentions from a heart-centered space. Under the dark moon, we can use the light within to confidently birth new passion projects. We're aligned with our creative, life force energy, making this a potent lunation to manifest under. Dream big and align with your own unique magnetism to attract abundance. If your intentions feel a bit over-the-top, you're on the right track! This is the time to boldly declare our desires to the universe!
♍️ MARS TRINE ♉️ URANUS (23º) 6:53 AM PT
It’s a powerful day to take action! Mars and Uranus connect at the same degree as the Leo New Moon, inviting us to move with the inspiration and excitement we’re feeling. As the planet of war and the planet of rebellion harmonize with one another, innovation unfolds with ease. You might find yourself acting differently or letting your freak flag fly a little more freely today too. We’re more willing to take risks and make bold moves. This energy can allow us to break free from limits or boundaries.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
♌️ NEW MOON SQUARE ♉️ URANUS (23º) 3:00 AM PT
We’re forced to evolve under this new moon. As the moon and sun both square the planet of innovation and rebellion, we’re pushed to change. This is an uncomfortable activation, but our intuition will lead the way if we allow it.
♌️ NEW MOON CONJUNCT ♌️ LILITH (24º) 5:00 AM PT
There’s a spicy energy today! We’re more willing to boldly express our feelings when the moon meets Lilith. This is a moment to reclaim our autonomy and power, but beware of being overly harsh or controlling in the process.
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ VIRGO ♍️ (4:14 PM PT)
We can begin to plan the next steps we’ll take on the inspiration birthed under the new moon. The waxing crescent moon in Virgo over the next couple days invites us to be productive and efficient, paying attention to the small details that will bring us great success. We feel nurtured by crossing things off our to-do list, especially if we can be of service to others in the process.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
♌️ SUN SQUARE ♉️ URANUS, ♈️ NORTH NODE SQUARE ♑️ PLUTO
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The Leo New Moon sparks new passion! Proudly sharing what’s lighting up our heart can help it manifest more quickly. And don’t be afraid to think outside the box- The moon and sun square Uranus, activating us to innovate. Discomfort is par for the course- lean in! A harmonious trine between Uranus and Mars makes it feel easier to take action on inspiration and move from our intuition. The new moon is conjunct Lilith, connecting us to our deep desires and raw power. But there’s a fine line between expressing ourselves authentically and being overbearing or hostile. Be the change you wish to see in the world- not the drama!
