9/4/23 ✨ Jupiter Stations Retrograde
✨ Happy Moon Day!
SUN IN VIRGO | MOON IN TAURUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am grateful for the abundance in my life.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♍️ MERCURY RX TRINE ♉️ JUPITER (15º) 3:28 AM PT
We can think fondly on the past as Mercury Retrograde harmonizes with Jupiter just hours before the planet of abundance stations retrograde as well. Our mental state benefits from inherent optimism and faith. Philosophical conversations are good for the soul and powerful realizations are possible- especially when we take the time to review what we’ve already learned. We’re easily excited by spontaneous thoughts too. We might feel like revisiting old travel plans or dreams for ourself.
♉️ JUPITER STATIONS RETROGRADE (15º) 7:11 AM PT
Don't discount treasures of the past.
Jupiter spends all of autumn in a backspin, asking us to review how we've grown and how our definition of abundance has evolved in the process. We may revisit old teachers or re-read old studies during this period. Revisiting wisdom from the past can spur new growth in the present. This transit might feel like a hunt for buried treasure- retracing old steps to discover wealth from years past. With Jupiter in Taurus, we might even find old possessions with tangible value over the coming months!

THE MOON:
🌖 WANING GIBBOUS MOON IN TAURUS ♉️
The waning moon in Taurus asks us to slow down and connect to nature. Grounding into the Earth can help us decipher what we’re ready to let go of. This moon phase asks us to give our emotions to Mama Earth so she can compost them for our next phase of growth. We crave physical comfort and security over the coming days- notice the response when discomfort does arise. This is precisely where we can loosen our grip.
♉️ MOON TRINE ♍️ SUN (11º) 4:00 AM PT
Harmony between the moon and sun brings confidence and vitality. We can easily express our inner emotions with intention and ease. Our energy is grounded and stable.
♉️ MOON SQUARE ♌️ VENUS RX (12º) 5:00 AM PT
The stubborn Taurus moon makes a harsh square to Venus Retrograde, making us feel needy for love and affection. We might even revert back to feeling former unmet needs in the present moment. Our craving for pleasure could feel almost overwhelming.
♉️ MOON CONJUNCT ♉️ JUPITER RX AND TRINE ♍️ MERCURY RX (15º) 11:00 AM PT
We can really feel the energy of Jupiter stationing retrograde as the moon meets the planet of good fortune in Taurus. At the same time, a trine to Mercury Retrograde reminds us to slow down and receive the insights retrograde season brings. The energy might feel uncomfortable stagnant, but in stillness, we can take time to reflect. This is a potent moment to dwell on all the abundance you’ve already cultivated in life and meditate on gratitude.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
There’s abundance in slowing down. Jupiter begins a four-months retrograde in Taurus this morning, inviting us to reflect on all the abundance we’ve already cultivated in life. With so many planets retrograde, the energy might feel uncomfortably stagnant. But there’s magic to be found in stillness. Mercury Retrograde harmonizes with Jupiter just hours before it switches directions, bringing though insights. It’s easy for our mind to be pulled into the past now- come back to the present through gratitude. This is a season to appreciate the fruits of what we’ve already manifested.
