12/30/21 ✨ Mercury Conjunct Pluto
✨ Happy Jupiter Day!
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I allow the old ways to fall away.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♑️MERCURY CONJUNCT ♑️PLUTO (2:00 AM PT)
As we pull ourselves out of the belly of the beast that was the Venus-Pluto Conjunction on Christmas, Mercury meets up with both planets in the middle of this week. On Thursday morning, Mercury joins Pluto, heightening the intensity of our thoughts and conversations. Our words hold more weight and influence under this transit- just be careful not to use them for manipulation or control. Deep reflection could lead to major breakthroughs. Talking or journaling will be powerful tools today. This is a time to dive into the darkness of your own mind to be reborn as the next version of yourself in the new year.

THE MOON:
🌘WANING CRESCENT MOON IN SCORPIO ♏️
The waning moon spends the morning in Scorpio, helping us explore our own depths and reflect on what we want to leave behind in 2022. This is a moment of release and surrender.
♏️MOON SEXTILE ♑️VENUS (4:00 AM PT)
The moon and Venus (retrograde) lock into a supportive angle, deepening our love and affection. Because Venus is retrograde, this brief transit could look like remembering past moments in relationships.
♏️MOON SEXTILE ♑️PLUTO (8:00 AM PT)
The moon forms that same supportive angle to Pluto a couple hours later. We might crave control and intensity under this aspect, but the key to unlocking the full potential of this moment is surrendering and releasing. Let the old ways die.
♏️MOON SEXTILE ♑️MERCURY (9:00 AM PT)
The Scorpio moon spends the day in sextile, forming another supportive angle to Mercury. This allows us to reflect on and express deep emotions.
Use the magic of the Scorpio moon for catharsis. Talking about your feelings or writing them down can help release them.
♏️MOON CONJUNCT ♏️SOUTH NODE (2:00 PM PT)
When the moon merges with the South Node, we get a final glimpse of our past so we can fully let it go. As you look back, notice how much you’ve transformed this year. Find appreciation for all the hard lessons you already learned. This was your preparation to rise in the new year.
🌘WANING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ SAGITTARIUS ♐️ (3:00 PM PT)
The waning crescent moon enters Sagittarius, setting the stage for a rockin’ New Year’s Eve! Sagittarius energy is all about expansion and adventure. We’ll ring in 2022 feeling more spontaneous, wild and free!
♐️MOON SQUARE ♓️JUPITER (4:00 PM PT)
The Sag moon squares Jupiter in Pisces, forcing us to acknowledge silver linings. This 90º angle activates our optimism and good fortune, but only if we intentionally choose the high road. The shadow side of this aspect could bring impulses or excess.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Today’s energy brings a pinnacle opportunity for release. As Mercury merges with Pluto, we are asked to do some deep reflection of the year behind us. How have you transformed? What do you still need to release before 2022? The moon spends much of the day in Scorpio, adding to the intensity. Back-to-back supportive angles between the moon, Venus, Pluto, and Mercury invite us to feel how much we’ve changed already and surrender to the next version of ourselves. Talking or writing about your emotions can be a very powerful practice today. When the moon moves into Sagittarius this afternoon, we’ll start to feel a buzz of excitement about the new year!
