FULL MOON

This month's Full Moon on 8 July is in Capricorn with the Moon on a collision course with Pluto. In other words, she's a degree away from the lord of the Underworld, which will lend a somewhat dark character to this lunation. Pluto relates to power, control, corruption, unresolved issues, and things that should be eliminated in one form or another. Take a look at the section above where it states the part of your life that Capricorn represents for additional clues regarding where this influence is most likely to affect you at the personal level. Of course a Full Moon represents an opposition with the Sun, a time when your head and heart may be at odds with each other. The Sun is in Cancer, an emotional, family-oriented sign, that will emphasize these matters as well. Capricorn and Cancer are polar signs that truly represent the ongoing conflict between home and career so many encounter. With Mars in Cancer, a sign where he is prone to temper tantrums as his drive is hindered as if he's trying to move through figurative mud, you may find that those things you aspire to with an emotional component may be thwarted. Balance is your best recourse, though this may not be easily attainable. Relationships are very likely to be involved in all this as well, with Jupiter in Libra, the sign that rules relationships in general, is at the apex of a T-square with the lunation, showing a variety of conflicts which will require attention.

On the positive side, Venus and Mercury are lending some assistance with communications. Finding the relevant facts and rationale for what you want are favored along with the ability to speak from the heart with regard to your wants and needs. Don't expect others to be a mind-reader; explaining what you want or need clearly is much more effective than simply expecting those around you to figure it out, much less get it by osmosis.

Speaking of Mars and his frustrations, he is quincunx Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius, indicating that a complete revamping of your plan, which will involve a change of direction, is likely as well. A Catch-22 is also possible, a situation where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. No wonder Mars is growling! At least Mars' opposition with Pluto should be fading away, this hard aspect between two malefics unlikely to be helpful to anyone, other than those who enjoy being difficult, controlling, or combative. If this unfriendly energy exchange connects with your chart, be especially cautious. Don't take any unnecessary chances, drive defensively, and generally guard you health. If you have underlying health issues, this is likely to bring them out and demand attention.

Jupiter and Neptune are in quincunx as well. Since both are outer planets, which move relatively slowly, this will be in effect for a while. With Jupiter in Libra, as noted earlier, the simplest interpretation for this placement relates to the expansion of relationships. Neptune in Pisces, however, is the epitome of your visions and dreams, idealistic but most likely not realistic. I see this as perhaps expecting too much from those around you, which will ultimately result in disappointment. The quincunx therefore suggests an adjustment or change of course there as well. For this lunation, the Sun form a course adjustment loop with the quincunx by trining Neptune and squaring Jupiter. This configuration typically indicates hitting a snag where something isn't working, necessitating a change, then proceeding in a slightly new direction. Tying in all the family and relationship vibrations inherent in this lunation, it looks like an excellent time to address any issues that need attention. Again, look to which house the Full Moon occurs in for you for additional hints regarding your role.

New Moon

The New Moon this month is 23 July at 00:44 Leo. This time the lunation is cozied up to Mars, who is happy to be out of Cancer. While his temper tantrums in Cancer were emotional and most likely related to frustrations, now that he's in Leo, they're going to be fueling Leo's propensity for fiery displays of will. There is quite a cluster of planets in Leo, i.e., the lunation, Mars, and Mercury, as well as the lunar North Node. With the Sun, Moon, and Mars in conjunct, but otherwise not aspecting any other planets, they will be a veritable fireball of energy and self-will. Again, take a look to the section above which tells you which natural house this occurs in for hints on where this influence will occur. You are likely to be determined, energized, and vocal, about what you want. The vocal part, courtesy of Mercury, will display shades of the desire for sudden change if not downright rebellion and the need to do some serious rebuilding. Heartfelt ideas that may depend on others are likely to encounter delays and boundaries before progress can be achieved.  The quincunx between Jupiter and Neptune described above is still in effect, so be sure to give your dreams a sanity check. The North Node's conjunction with Mercury implies something new coming your way, perhaps in the way of ideas or information, so keep an eye out or, better yet, actively seek what you need to know to substantiate your rationale, both for your own benefit as well as others you may need to win over.

OTHER COSMIC EVENTS

Fortunately, no planets are stationing either retrograde or direct this month, which at least eliminates some potentially hostile blast of energy. Note that the Full Moon forms a T-square with your natal Sun if your birthday is right around 7 April. This suggests increased conflict, possibly pertaining to the ongoing home/career conflict. Uranus is still transiting your sign, Aries, and is currently sitting on your Natal Sun if your birthday is right around April 18. This can bring all sorts of surprises, disruptions, and disturbances your way as well as increasing your natural sense of independence and rebellion. Self-expression is emphasized by the New Moon and all that energy clustered in Leo, further emphasized by your sign ruler, Mars, energizing it as well.  Note the section above that describes the elements included in the 5th house for where this may manifest. Be slightly cautious, however, of the ego side of this, since you're likely to be perceived as overly aggressive. In some cases this is a good thing, in others a turn-off, so give it some cautious thought and consideration with regard to whether or not it's to your advantage, then act accordingly.

Jupiter is approximately half-way through Libra, your polar sign and 7th House of relationships. Since he tends to inflate and expand what he touches, relationships are likely to be dominating your time, especially if your birthday is right around 5 April. Some of these may relate to the past, especially if there are any unresolved issues or matters which have been swept under the rug. Being overly defensive is highly likely if confronted, even more so than usual with all that Leo energy toward the end of the month, so don't forget to do so in a manner that doesn't turn out to be self-defeating.
