Moon in Cancer conjunct Jupiter in CancerΒ
Today brings a beautiful expansion of emotional abundance as the Moon meets Jupiter. This is one of best aspects for manifesting from the heart. Feel into the abundance that's already present in your life. When you appreciate what you have, you create space for even more blessings to flow in. What are you grateful for today?
π Wednesday, August 20th
Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer | Moon enters Leo at 4:17 PM PTΒ
The morning starts with Moon meeting Venus, bringing sweetness to your relationships and self-care practices. Then as the Moon shifts into Leo this afternoon, the energy turns bold and creative. You're being asked to nurture yourself first, then share your light with the world. How can you love yourself into your next level today?
π¦ Thursday, August 21st
Moon in Leo conjunct Mercury in Leo
Your heart and mind align today, making it the perfect time to speak your truth and share your vision. Mercury and Moon together in Leo give the perfect energy to reflect on what you have learned since the last New Moon in Leo. Take some time to review your intentions, and ask which ones you want to continue to nourish versus which ones you want to release for new ones.
