8/25/22 ✨ Mercury Enters Libra
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
SUN IN VIRGO | MOON IN LEO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I trust in my ability to love.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♌️ VENUS SQUARE ♉️ NORTH + ♏️ SOUTH NODES (17º) 8:11 AM PT
Venus locks into a T-Square with the North and South Nodes, marking a turning point in relationships. As Venus sits exactly in the middle of the points of destiny, we can clearly see what we need to release from our past and what edges we need to meet to embody our purpose. Not only can this affect our love life and closest relationships, but because Venus rules money and beauty, this can also relate to our finances and how we view our appearance or surroundings. Any tension in these areas today is here to show us how to move forward.
♍️ MERCURY ➡️ LIBRA ♎️ (6:03 PM PT)
Words get a little lighter and gentler when Mercury enters the sign of the scales. Coming out of the precise energy of Mercury in Virgo, this Libra transit softens our communication and allows us to be more eloquent. We're able to perceive multiple perspectives now and comprehend several outcomes. This makes us great at debating, but it can also make us a bit indecisive. We'll find ourselves in more collaborative conversations. Bouncing ideas off other people will be helpful in making decisions and coming to conclusions. Beautiful discussions are possible over the coming weeks.
Mercury will be at the anaretic degree of Virgo for most of the day- watch your words. Speaking too quickly could come across as critical or harsh. We are also quick to jump to conclusions or make judgements.

THE MOON:
🌘 WANING CRESCENT MOON IN LEO ♌️
The waning moon in Leo asks us to go within and reflect on all we’ve experienced so far this cycle. We can easily tap into the pride we have for ourselves, our growth, and our accomplishments. Surrender through playfulness and fun!
♌️ MOON CONJUNCT ♌️ VENUS AND SQUARE ♉️ NORTH + ♏️ SOUTH NODES (17º) 4:00 PM PT
The moon meets up with Venus in Leo, bringing emotional attention to today’s T-square. We’re feeling the love and embodying our evolution in relationships, love, and money. It will be easy to express our affection under the bold Leo moon- and doing so could help us release the past to further step into our purpose.
♌️ MOON OPPOSITE ♒️ SATURN rx (21º) MIDNIGHT PT
We end this Thursday on a low note as the moon opposes Saturn overnight. This can make us feel depressed or lonely. We’re more prone to isolation, but if we find ourselves pondering alone, we can use this moment to reflect on the lessons we’ve been learning. This transit can make our responsibilities feel especially heavy. If we’re feeling down, leaning into childlike playfulness can lift our spirits.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Thursday marks a turning point in relationships as Venus locks into a T-square with the points of destiny. With the planet of love, money, and beauty sitting directly between the North and South Nodes, we become aware of what we need to release from the past to further embody our purpose. The moon meets up with Venus this afternoon, enhancing this energy and bringing an emotional awareness to this shift. Tonight, messenger Mercury enters the diplomatic sign of Libra. Our communication feels more balanced and eloquent, but we’re also more prone to debate over the coming weeks as we weigh different perspectives and bounce our thoughts off of others. It’s important to note- Mercury will be at the anaretic degree (29º) for most of the day today- watch your words. Speaking too quickly could come across as critical or harsh. We end the day with an opposition between the moon and Saturn, making us feel isolated or lonely. If we find ourselves in a state of introspection, we can easily understand our responsibilities and the lessons we’re learning right now. Remember, playfulness is our ally under the Leo moon.
