8/27/23 ✨ Mars Enters Libra
✨ Happy SUN Day!
SUN IN VIRGO | MOON IN CAPRICORN
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: My present state is a perfect balance between my past and my future.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♍️ SUN OPPOSITE ♓️ SATURN RX (3º) 1:27 AM PT
We can recognize the lessons we’ve learned and the wisdom we’ve gained as the Virgo sun opposes Saturn in Pisces. This transit can definitely feel harsh though. We’re could find ourselves doubting our passions or coming up against frustrating obstacles. The situations playing out today can be powerful teachers if we step into the role as a student of the universe. This opposition can also help us step up and take responsibility for the leading role we play in our lives.
♍️ MARS ➡️ LIBRA ♎️ (6:20 AM PT)
Weighing all options before taking action.
Mars enters its detriment in Libra, the sign where its influence is the weakest. The planet of war brings driven, motivated energy, but when it's in the sign of the diplomat, we are prone to weighing all of our options before taking action. This can result in indecision or inaction all together. But pumping the brakes isn't always a bad thing. This transit can be beneficial in helping us see multiple perspectives before moving forward. We're less interested in conquering or claiming what's ours and more interested in pursuits that are mutually beneficial. This is a potent time to engage in trades and negotiations. Libra energy brings a gentle authority that makes others more agreeable to our requests. If you find yourself paralyzed with indecision, bounce your options off a trusted companion who can introduce their own perspective.

THE MOON:
🌔 WAXING GIBBOUS MOON IN CAPRICORN ♑️
The waxing moon in serious and practical Capricorn distances us from our intuition and connects us with our logic. We’re more concerned with making sense of our emotions than truly feeling them over the coming days. We may be tempted to isolate as well. When the moon is in Capricorn, we are nurtured by the feeling of success and accomplishment.
♑️ MOON TRINE ♉️ JUPITER (15º) 8:00 AM PT
Sunday brings contentment, abundance, and success! A harmonious trine between the moon and Jupiter allows us to be grounded, yet optimistic about how much we’ve already manifested and our trajectory for future accomplishment.
♑️ MOON SQUARE ♈️ CHIRON RX (19º) 2:00 PM PT
Triggers could pop up this afternoon as the moon squares Chiron. Beware of taking things too seriously or literally. If you find yourself getting irritated or resentful, find the healing opportunity. This transit is an activation.
♑️ MOON TRINE ♍️ MERCURY RX (21º) 5:00 PM PT
We could have realizations about our past without even trying when the Capricorn moon trines Mercury Retrograde. It’s natural for our mind to wander to days, months, or even years prior. Hindsight is 20/20. Looking back allows us to analyze situations without being so emotionally invested. What wisdom can you gain from a distance?
♑️ MOON TRINE ♉️ URANUS (23º) 9:00 PM PT
There’s a sense of anticipation and excitement about the future when the moon harmonizes with Uranus. We can focus on our plans for the journey ahead while keeping an innovative mindset. There’s a natural willingness to try new things and step out of our comfort zone. By remembering nothing is set in stone just yet, we might even gain new insights on how to make our long-term goals a reality tonight!

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The present moment is a perfect balance between our past and our future. Motivating Mars enters lovely Libra, helping us weigh all of our options before taking action. But with the planet of war at zero degrees today, we could feel a sense of restlessness without knowing which steps to take next. Remember- there’s no rush. An opposition between the sun and Saturn shines light on the lessons we’ve learned and the wisdom we’ve gained, asking us to step into our authority and take responsibility for our experience. The Capricorn moon adds a dose of practical analysis. We wake up feeling optimistic under a trine to Jupiter, helping us recognize our own abundance. More harmonies to Mercury Retrograde and Uranus tonight help us negotiate where we’ve been and where we’re going, honoring our past while getting excited about future innovation!
