Change is in the air this Venus Day! Mercury stations direct, ending its 2-week retrograde. This is an opportunity to gather the insights from our review and use them to inform our next steps. The sun and Uranus come into a harmonious trine as well, opening us to innovation and excitement! The New Moon in Virgo makes her final connections this morning to Neptune and Pluto. If uncomfortable emotions surface, allow them to fuel your transformation. When the waxing moon glides into lovely Libra, we can come back to center and move forward from a place of balance.

The Virgo New Moon marks a powerful moment for manifestation. This is a clean slate. An opportunity to enter the next chapter with pure intentions. Harmonious trines to Jupiter and Uranus open us to possibility and innovation. The last new moon before eclipse season acts as fertile soil for the next two months of rapid change! As Mercury slows to end its retrograde tomorrow, we are invited to slow down and get crystal clear about how we want to evolve.

The Virgo moon invites us to slow down and get clear on our intentions for the next chapter. Yes, we love to be productive with both the moon and sun in the sign of service, but the most powerful thing we can today is pause. The moon opposes Saturn this morning, helping us start slow- but we’re prone to isolating under this transit as well. When the moon meets up with Mercury Retrograde, powerful realizations are possible. If we take a moment to release what’s been weighing on our mind, we can create space for new ideas and insights to come through.

The dark moon makes her final transit through Leo as she prepares to become new. But her final connections in the sign of the lion certainly pack a punch. Overnight harmony to Chiron brings healing opportunities, but we must get quiet enough to truly feel our triggers first. This morning, a square to Uranus makes for changes of plan or abrupt surprises. How can you rise to the challenge and innovate? Tonight, the moon meets Lilith, allowing our inner bitch to take center stage. Watch yourself- we’re prone to being hostile under this transit. Notice the underlying desires beneath your emotions. How are they preparing you for your next chapter?

Today’s energy feels like a slow burn… The dark moon in Leo connects with Mars, giving us a boost of motivation to start our week. When the moon passes over Venus this afternoon, love and passion dominate our experience. Life feels more beautiful- especially if we get still enough to really take it all in. But it’s easy to go overboard this evening. A square to Jupiter makes us prone to being overly generous or saying “yes” out of pride. Stay true to yourself and honor what your body needs. This is the time to slow down before the upcoming new moon.

We must embrace all parts of ourselves in order to truly evolve. We start the morning under an opposition between the moon and Pluto, pulling us between our comfort zone and our desire to transform. When the dark moon enters Leo, we are invited to slow down and tune into our internal experience. In a place of stillness, we can hold space for our inner child and hear their needs more clearly. Giving ourselves what we needed from caregivers early in life is not only incredibly healing, but it can give us the confidence to step into a new chapter with intention and confidence!

Growth is on the edge of our comfort zone. The moon in Cancer can make us want to pull the covers over our head and hide out at home all day. But there’s huge potential for innovation as the moon connects with Jupiter and Uranus today. Simply setting an intention can help us show up with more confidence under a supportive sextile between the moon and sun. But a square to Chiron mid-day could bring past triggers into the present moment. Remember- change isn’t always a clean process.

Good luck is on our side! The sun makes its bi-annual harmony to abundant Jupiter, opening us to expansion and growth. There’s plenty of possibility and positivity to work with today! With the sun in Virgo, fortune favors those with pure intentions today. The Cancer moon keeps us connected to our gut instincts. A trine to Saturn gives us natural authority and responsibility, but we’re prone to being impulsive this afternoon when the moon clashes with Mars! It’s easy to get caught up in the optimism of the day. Remember, there’s no rush. We can trust that what’s meant for us will find us.

It’s a foggy doggy day in the Milky Way! The stimulating Gemini moon clashes with Neptune, fogging our perception. This afternoon brings confusion or just downright sleepiness. If your brain feels like it’s moving in slow-mo, taking a break or a mid-afternoon nap could be just what the doctor ordered. Late tonight, the moon comes home to Cancer, asking us to rest and release into our comfort zone. People, places, and foods that feel familiar are especially nurturing over the coming days.

This Mercury Day is one for the books! Mercury Retrograde passes through the heart of the sun, bringing a profound moment for clarity and insight early this morning. With both the sun adn moon in mercurial signs, it could feel like we’re asking a lot of questions. Giving our mind space to ponder can invite in some of the answers we seek- but it may be helpful to give the body a rhythm to anchor to in the process. We’re certainly restless as the stimulating Gemini moon pulls away from a trine to Mars. As the moon clashes with the sun and Mercury, we reach a point of peak release. Venus brings support to this mashup, helping us lovingly let go of the stories that are no longer serving us. If it doesn’t bring health, wealth, or happiness, it’s time to create space for something that will!

Transformation is unfolding, even if it’s difficult to see how everything is coming together. The Taurus moon connects with Uranus and Neptune to start the day, bringing a sense of messy innovation. It’s okay if the future feels a little foggy. What’s meant for us is still on its way. Harmony between the moon and Pluto asks us to allow what’s falling away to go and make space for the mystery ahead. Truths or secrets could be revealed in the process. Stay open. When the Last Quarter Moon moves into Gemini, we become aware of the stories we’ve been telling ourselves. What narratives are no longer in alignment? The coming days ask us to close old chapters and let go of old thought patterns. Create mental space.

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.
