Mercury trine Jupiter (Sep. 4, 2023, 3:29 am PDT)
On this week’s particular day by day episodes, I’ll be masking the week’s main astrological information, together with lunar happenings and in addition a particular matter every day.
Immediately, Mercury trines Jupiter at 3:29 AM Pacific Time at 15º34’ Virgo and Taurus. Mercury is on the Sabian image 16 Virgo, An Orangutan, and Jupiter is on 16 Taurus, An outdated man tries in useless to share the mysteries.
That is the second of three trines which might be forming between Mercury and Jupiter throughout Mercury’s retrograde interval. The primary was on August ninth, and the final shall be on September twenty fifth. On the first trine I spoke about emphasizing the helpful and sensible in your entire communications. This trine, on this very attention-grabbing diploma, additionally brings within the factor of naturalness – to bringing your trustworthy, unadorned self to every little thing that you must say and write and talk. The Jupiter factor on this trine says that all of us have a lot that we wish to share, however Mercury in Virgo will assist us preserve our message just a little extra succinct.
Jupiter stations Retrograde (Sep. 4, 2023, 7:10 am PDT)
Additionally, in the present day at 7:10 AM Pacific Time, Jupiter stations retrograde. It is going to be retrograde by way of December thirtieth, when it is going to flip direct at 5º Taurus. And that coincidentally is the diploma of the lunar eclipse that’s developing on October twenty eighth. So we will form of be aware that date, December 30th, in our psychological calendar as a date once we’re prepared to really take some motion or do one thing associated to the problems that come up on the October twenty eighth lunar eclipse.
Throughout Jupiter’s retrograde interval, it’s all the time good to look to our personal internal steerage on topics like beliefs and faith, schooling, journey, and usually talking, journey. Jupiter is rather less inclined to wish to journey, perhaps, when it’s in Taurus. However should you do journey whereas it’s retrograde, you would possibly discover that you just get pleasure from revisiting locations that you just’ve already been.
Greetings from Listener Ann
Ann: Hello, my title is Ann and I hearken to the Large Sky Astrology Podcast from Charleston, West Virginia. I’ve been listening to April’s podcast for no less than a 12 months or perhaps extra. I’ve additionally had an exquisite studying by her and it helped me be taught a lot extra about my particular person chart. I really feel like I be taught one thing new each week, and I do respect that, and I hope the Podathon is an enormous success. So thanks April, and I’ll sit up for listening to extra episodes. So on that be aware, energy out!
Immediately’s Moon
April: And now for in the present day’s Moon report! We’ll be speaking in the present day concerning the Moon in Taurus, and the day’s Moon signal describes the tempo and tempo of the day and our pure means of dealing with issues emotionally.
Monday is after all, named after the Moon, and should you surprise why you get up on some Mondays feeling such as you simply wish to crawl again into mattress and conceal, it may very well be that your Moon is feeling just a little bit delicate.
On this Labor Day Monday, when many people in the US shall be having fun with a vacation from work, the Moon is in easygoing Taurus, thought of one of many moon’s strongest indicators. It’s because Taurus, which could be very earthy, brings stability to the delicate and ever-fluctuating Moon – so it grounds us emotionally. Moon in Taurus days are finest for engaged on established tasks, particularly those you discover significantly fulfilling and never too strenuous. Moods on today are usually just a little bit extra relaxed and indulgent.
Immediately’s Lunar Features
The moon’s features in the present day to different planets are comparatively gentle. The Moon will trine the Solar at 4:12 AM Pacific Time, sq. Venus at 5:08 AM, after which trine the Mercury-Jupiter configuration that’s forming in the present day. The Moon trines Mercury at 10:35 AM and conjoins Jupiter at 11:05 AM.
Of all of these features, the one one that’s probably just a little bit troublesome is the Moon’s sq. to Venus, particularly as a result of Venus guidelines Taurus, the signal that the Moon is in in the present day. In order that’s early within the morning. It’s about 5:08, as I stated, Pacific Time, so about 8:00 AM on the east coast of the US, and truly within the early afternoon in Britain and Europe.
When the Moon is in a tough side with the planet that guidelines the signal the Moon is in, it offers just a little little bit of a blended message, and it says to me that there’s something on this day which may counsel that you just really feel a specific factor goes to be simple, and then you definitely type of journey over a complication that comes up with it.
The sq. is all the time a side I affiliate with irritation as nicely. So the Moon usually, as I say, is making flowing features in the present day, and that implies that the temper is a bit more secure and we’re just a little extra cheerful than we’d in any other case be. The exception, as I stated, being that sq. to Venus. So simply look out for that early within the day or early within the afternoon, relying on the place you might be.
I additionally prefer to see the Moon trine with that side between Mercury and Jupiter in the present day. It’s incorporating the potential of that side into the day’s rhythm and stream. A factor that I all the time like about Mercury being in good side with Jupiter, and this shall be extra related to these of you who’re just a little more proficient at astrology, however in case you are making an attempt to decide on a superb time to do one thing, on a day like this, it is extremely a lot in your favor to have Mercury in good side to Jupiter – as a result of that mixture guidelines the Ascendant and Descendant of the chart for about eight hours out of every day.
So numerous the occasions once we’re selecting a superb time to do one thing in a day, we try to money in on a pleasant side like say Venus trine Jupiter, or no matter it is likely to be. However then we discover that there’s a battle between the planets that present up on a few home cusps which might be vital to the matter.
So that is an particularly good day, I believe, in case you are making an attempt to do one thing that entails getting cooperation from different folks, collaborating with others. And sharing the data that you just wish to share.
Immediately is the Moon’s Day
Now, every day of the week is related to one of many seven seen planets, and that features the Solar and Moon. I assumed that one factor that I’d do that week is speak about that affiliation between the planets and the times of the week. Monday is, after all, the Moon’s day.
Within the conventional house, Monday was the day for laundry, which is dominated by the Moon. Earlier than we had automated washing machines, this was one of the crucial bodily demanding family chores. In case you assume you dread Monday, now think about should you awakened realizing that you just had been going to spend the day feeding garments right into a ringer and hanging them on the road!
The Moon can also be linked to meals, so this can be a good day every week to cook dinner up an enormous batch of one thing tasty which you could freeze and perhaps thaw out for future meals. Haul out your outdated crockpot or Instapot And fill it up with components that simply can cook dinner slowly whilst you’re doing different issues.
Monday, dominated by the nurturing Moon, can also be a day for taking good care of others. Take a container of your selfmade stew to an aged pal or inscribe a reasonably card to a sick relative or a cellphone somebody far-off.
