12/29/21 ✨ Mercury Conjunct Venus
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I feel in order to heal.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♑️MERCURY CONJUNCT ♑️VENUS (2:30 AM PT)
Messenger Mercury meets up with Venus (retrograde) in Capricorn. This transit could bring about conversations or thoughts about love, money, and our values. With Venus moving backwards, we might feel more nostalgic or find ourselves thinking about the past (just don’t text your ex!!)
This is also the first day of Mercury’s shadow period (aka Mercury Retro-Shade) before the planet of communication stations retrograde on January 14. We can expect any weak spots in the foundation of our relationships or long-term plans to be exposed while both Venus and Mercury are retrograde in the sign of practical Capricorn through the end of January.
♑️SUN SQUARE ♈️CHIRON (4:00 PM PT)
The sun challenges Chiron, creating conflict between our ego and our healing. This could make it more difficult to act from a place of understanding. Our pride could take over if any of our wounds are prodded. This transit specifically could bring up father wounds with the sun in the sign of masculine Capricorn.
♐️MARS SEXTILE ♒️SATURN (4:30 PM PT)
Mars and Saturn lock into a supportive angle with one another, allowing us to take action from a place of patience. While Mars in Sagittarius makes us more impulsive and spontaneous, Saturn’s influence slows our pace and helps us think more practically. We will have the determination to finish projects and uphold our responsibilities under this aspect. Taking steps in the direction of your long-term goals could get you further than you think…

THE MOON:
🌘WANING CRESCENT MOON IN SCORPIO ♏️
The waning crescent moon in Scorpio invites us to surrender control and do some deep reflection on all the ways we’ve transformed in 2021. Scorpio is all about energy exchange, making this a powerful time to cut cords and release any attachments you don’t want to bring into 2022.
♏️MOON SEXTILE ♑️SUN (2:00 AM PT)
The moon is supported by the sun. This could bring emotional balance as our inner and outer expression work hand-in-hand. Expect to feel more confident and powerful. We’ll be able to observe our subconscious patterns more easily as the sun illuminates our shadows.
♏️MOON QUINCUNX ♈️CHIRON (3:00 AM PT)
The moon’s awkward angle to Chiron could remind us we have more healing to do. While the moon is in Scorpio, we’re more aware of emotions we might normally repress. This connection to Chiron makes our pain hard to ignore.
♏️MOON OPPOSITE ♉️URANUS (7:00 AM PT)
The Scorpio moon opposes Uranus in Taurus. This energy could manifest as a need for excitement or rebellion. We’ll be more impulsive or reactive. Our emotions could even catch us by surprise. Try not to make any sudden moves.
♏️MOON SQUARE ♒️SATURN (8:00 AM PT)
The moon’s square to Saturn can create a fleeting feeling of negativity or depression. Thinking logically has its benefits, but this angle could make us overly observant or cautious. When the planet of restriction and limitation connects with la luna, we tend to worry more.
♏️MOON TRINE ♓️NEPTUNE (11:00 PM PT)
The moon and Neptune harmonize in water signs, heightening our sensitivity and empathy. It will be much easier to take on other peoples’ emotions under this aspect— strong energetic boundaries can create protection. We might feel like doing a deep dive into subjects surrounding spirituality, mystery, and psychic abilities. We could become aware of own fantasies or beliefs that have been lingering in our subconscious. This transit is the perfect backdrop for astral travel or profound dreams (or creating art if you’re up late.)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
We have a busy day in the stars! When Mercury meets up with Venus during its backspin in Capricorn, we might find ourselves thinking about the past or reflecting on our values. Conversations about the long-term potential of relationships or investments are also possible. Wednesday afternoon, the sun squares Chiron, bringing our deepest wounds to light. Mars gets support from Saturn, helping us take slow and steady action that’s rooted in practicality. The waning crescent moon in Scorpio activates Saturn’s square to Uranus, making us feel an urge for excitement while also making us very aware of our limitation. The day ends with harmony between the moon and Neptune, allowing imagination and fantasy to flow freely.
