Good morning, friends!
Well, today we have two positive transits that are going to take us through the day, Mercury trine Jupiter and the Moon trine Venus, but then we end with a harder transit, the Moon square to Mars.
So we could be feeling pretty good for most of the day and then there may be something that happens that kind of ruins the whole thing. Or you could be chill all day and then something sets you off and you feel anger and lash out at someone. Or you spend most of your day planning and thinking about things and at the end of the day take action toward your goals.
The Moon Square Mars at the end of the day represents conflicts at home, with loved ones and family members, especially Mother figures, and can signify fights, arguments, and angry outbursts.
Mars in Sagittarius feels they are right and may be riding around on their high horse unwilling to apologize for their righteous behavior. The Moon in Pisces may be emotional, turbulent, and easily triggered by Mars’ arrows being pointed at her and as such she could withdraw into an escapist, poor-me space.
At the very best, Moon Square Mars means that you have the energy and drive to get something accomplished today that you feel very strongly about and believe in—and the square can give you the necessary push to make it happen and manifest your goals. Since we know it is coming, maybe we can use the heads up to do our best to direct the Martian energy into something positive and constructive.
Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn and by the time I publish this, he will have just perfected his trine to Jupiter in Taurus retrograde at 9:27 am ET. This is a positive transit that can mean positive news coming in, or beneficial messages, or an increase in your Mercurial output, so that may be writing, speaking, or planning things—Mercury in Capricorn wants to make plans, and Jupiter in Taurus wants those plans to be about the future—it’s almost like we are trying to plan out our garden for next year and we might be!
I know for me, this is about homeschool planning because not only am I planning out the rest of my school year from January to June, but I am already thinking about the next school year, which is not normal for me!
But that is a big theme for this Mercury retrograde in Capricorn trine Jupiter, plans for the future. So, what are you going over? What are you rehashing in your mind or figuring out? This week is the last week that we have to kind of finalize those plans because Mercury will be moving back into Sagittarius on Saturday, December 23, 2023, and begin to square Neptune again and things can get foggy and hard to think about, so plan hard right now! Set yourself up for success by doing today what will make tomorrow easier.
The Moon today will also form a trine to Venus in Scorpio
