10/24/22 ✨ Mercury Square Lilith
✨ Happy Moon Day!
SUN IN SCORPIO | MOON IN LIBRA
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I can only control myself.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♎️ MERCURY SQUARE ♋️ LILITH (21º) 11:32 AM PT
Watch your words! As Mercury squares Lilith, it’s easy to be harsh or reactive when speaking. Even with Mercury in the balanced and eloquent sign of Libra, our speech (and thoughts) could cut deep. We feel the urge to speak out against injustices and take a stand under this aspect. Remember- you attract more bees with honey than vinegar. How you say something can be the difference between someone truly listening rather than shutting down.

THE MOON:
🌘 DARK MOON IN LIBRA ♎️
As the waning crescent moon is its darkest phase in Libra, asking us to find peace in the pause before the solar eclipse. We’re nurtured by our relationships tonight, giving us an opportunity to find common ground. With Venus conjunct the sun, we can find a sense of easy by tapping into our ability to love.
♎️ MOON TRINE ♒️ SATURN (18º) 4:00 AM PT
We wake up feeling a sense of responsibility and duty as the moon makes a positive connection to Saturn. But slow and steady wins the race. This transit gives us the patience to pace ourselves and gradually pick up steam on a Monday morning.
♎️ MOON CONJUNCT ♎️ MERCURY AND SQUARE ♋️ LILITH (21º) 9:00 AM PT
Our feelings are fickle when the moon meets up with Mercury. It’s as if the scales of the Libra moon are tipping back and forth, swinging us from one mood to another. A simultaneous square to Lilith makes it all too easy to blurt out harsh words as soon as they enter our mind. Tap into the Libra energy to pause before speaking. Remember- not all thoughts and emotions that pass through our mind are true.
♎️ MOON TRINE ♊️ MARS (25º) 4:00 PM PT
We get a burst of energy this afternoon as the moon harmonizes with Mars. We can easily tap into our motivation and execute our vision. Mental exercise is highly favored with both of these planets in air signs, but physical movement can help us process our thoughts more effectively. This feels like go time!
♎️ MOON SQUARE ♑️ PLUTO (26º) 6:00 PM PT
Get ready for the eclipse… as the moon squares Pluto, we’re highly aware of the transformation brewing. This transit gives us a preview of the intensity to come during the Scorpio moon. But remember- we’re just along for the ride! This transit makes it all too easy to try to control, manipulate, or force outcomes. Power struggles are possible. So are obsessions. Let go.
VOID MOON FROM 7:00 PM - MIDNIGHT
This is the calm before the storm. The moon is void just hours before the Scorpio solar eclipse. Lean into the quiet. Take advantage of this sacred pause.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The tension is building as we anticipate the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio overnight… but today, it could be tempting to try to force and control outcomes to avoid our own discomfort. When Mercury squares Black Moon Lilith, words can cut deep. It’s easy to be harsh or reactive, even amidst all of the balanced Libra energy we’re working with. Beware of forcing judgements on others are being passive aggressive. We feel an overwhelming need to speak out against injustices or take a stand. The Libra moon plays into this dynamic, meeting up with Mercury. This conjunction can make our mood fickle, swinging from one side of the scales to the other. By the afternoon, harmony between the moon and Mars gives us renewed energy and motivation. But a square to Pluto brings us back down into the depths of transformation. Remember- we are not in control in eclipse season. Avoid the tendency to manipulate others. Let go and find peace within during the calm before the storm.
