Lunations and Long Term Aspects

This month the New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse which falls in Cancer on July 11. This is the other half of the eclipse pair that started last month. As part of the same family in the Saros Series it shares the same theme, which indicates that something that's been troubling you for quite some time will get worse before it gets better but it WILL get better. Cancer is your 4th House of home environment so this is most likely where this situation will manifest, which can be quite a target-rich environment, especially if you have a family. If your birthday is within a day or so of April 9 this will be more noticeable as it will square your Natal Sun. If your birthday is right around April 1 your Natal Sun will form a T-square with the lunar nodes, which is likely to bring something your way career or status-wise while eliminating something related to your home.

For this eclipse/lunation Jupiter and Uranus are still in Aries which will be making your life interesting for sometime to come. The conjunction isn't exact like it was last month but still close enough for the two planets to be operating together, which will be the case for several months to come. While this combination has been known to bring a sudden windfall or stroke of luck, it can also bring other unexpected situations that are less fortunate. The pair is aspecting numerous other planets in a variety of ways that will further color its influence. First of all it's opposing Saturn in Virgo, your 6th House of work, health and pets. Saturn in this house easily represents your boss or some other authority figure that you'll have to deal with in some manner and they're also squaring Pluto in Capricorn your 10th House of career, reputation, status and public image. This implies a challenge that affects your work life in a significant way as major changes are in progress which are likely to institute some disruptions in your life. That's the bad news.

The good news is that Jupiter and Uranus are also trining Mercury in Leo, your 5th House of creativity, children, romance, entertainment, speculation and ego definition, which should bring positive news or ideas your way. Mercury is quincunx Pluto, indicating some adjustments will be part of the situation that could represent transformational change. Jupiter and Uranus are quincunx Venus, indicating more adjustments or course changes, that are likely to impact your income, but not necessarily in a negative way. All in all it looks like a career and/or job change may be on the way which will bring opportunities for a change of direction where you will ultimately be happier as you get to express your creative side. This is influenced in a positive way by your Sign Ruler, Mars, which is throwing a friendly sextile to the Sun/Moon, also from your House of work.

A few other aspects imply a conflict regarding your financial goals, which may not have been realistic and will thus need to be restructured and redefined. Look to your past and don't hesitate to apply any hard lessons learned or perhaps it's time to revisit some other situation that hasn't been properly resolved. Transformations are in progress so be poised to grab any opportunities that come your way as they are likely to be the key for taking you in a new direction.

The Full Moon on the 25th occurs in Aquarius, your 11th House of friends, organizations, groups and goals. This can work very well hand-in-hand with the New Moon if changes are coming your way; a Full Moon typically indicates a culmination, ending, or shift to a new phase of life. This one repeats that T-Square described above involving the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction along with Saturn and Pluto. Your Sign Ruler, Mars is right in there cozying up with Saturn, which will lend more energy and drive to the change or situation before you. Mercury is opposing Neptune, an aspect between two planets that are very different in character by nature. Mercury is in Leo, which will be very useful if you're working on any creative projects. It will also facilitate communications with your children or any romantic interests. Particularly if things are a bit stressful be sure to work in some down-time to relax and enjoy yourself as well. Neptune can inspire but also provide delusions or deception, so just bear in mind if something sounds too good to be true it probably is.

The Moon is at an apex of a Triangle of Potential where she's mediating the opposition between the Uranus/Jupiter pair and Saturn. The implications behind this are to follow your heart and instincts and trust your intuition with regard to any structural changes you need to make. Another Triangle of Potential is in force between the Sun and Moon, in this case being mediated by the Jupiter/Uranus pair. Sudden changes or disruptions are possible, but they look as if they are going to take you in a new direction that has a variety of opportunities waiting to be exploited. Remember the theme of the eclipse. If anything seems to be getting worse with some long-standing issue, rest assured that in reality it is on the way to resolution. Changes or adjustments that may be of necessity now will work to your advantage later. Trust the Universe.

Short Term/Daily Aspects

July 1: News at home or from a family member may point to a new direction with your work or some act of service. Expect to take action quickly to fully exploit the opportunity that awaits.

July 5: Uranus goes retrograde today, which tends to destabilize what little can be predicted of his influence. Expect the unexpected and also watch your temper and reaction which may be more explosive than usual with this planet in your Sign. On August 15 he goes back into Pisces, bringing some relief, but in the mean time keep a lid on it.

July 8: A choice is indicated between something you'd like to do versus something you should do. Gather the data you need to make any appropriate course changes.

July 9 - 10: Expect the unexpected at home today whether it's from a family member or a sudden idea. Mercury goes into Leo which will do well for any creative efforts you're working on as well as communicating with your children or romantic interests, which may be put to use quickly when something unexpected comes along. Watch for work or health related opportunities at home as well.

July 11: New Moon/Solar Eclipse today in Cancer as described above. Venus enters Virgo today which will bode well for your work and service endeavors.

July 13: You will probably impress someone at work today or possibly receive recognition or some other benefit though it will require some course changes. This could relate to something you uncovered that others missed and thus made you look extremely good.

July 20: Another day for adjustments with regard to your home and the goals you're pursuing. If you made plans with your friends or an organization they're likely to need to be changed.

July 21: Saturn enters your polar sign, Libra, which will increase your responsibilities and obligations to those close to you.

July 22: Opportunities for taking a relationship to the next level are out there today as you see things differently than you did before.

July 23: The Sun enters Leo today, bringing emphasis to your creative efforts, children, romance, enjoying yourself and perhaps some speculative activities. An innovative idea that takes you by surprise is likely. Jupiter goes retrograde, which tends to stir up ethical issues, implying you may be faced with a moral dilemma of some description over the next few months.

July 24: Career conflicts may arise that will keep you from progressing as you'd like. Something from your past may be the stumbling block.

July 25: Full Moon today in Aquarius as described above.

July 26: This is a very active day astrologically and is likely to be significant. While inspiration is possible, make sure you aren't being delusional or being too idealistic. Adjustments to your career or status are likely which should be favorable and allow you to expand your influence. Expect to be motivated to change course with your work as your goals take on a different flavor. Your personal freedom versus responsibility are likely to be an issue as well.

July 27: Mercury goes into Virgo today which will facilitate thoughts and ideas that relate to your work. News or information at work is likely and could bring innovation on your part or the urge to break free from it all.

July 30: Your Sign Ruler, Mars, goes into Libra today, a placement that puts quite a damper on his self-propelled energy. The needs of others will be more of a consideration than usual. Unearthing hidden information that relates to your career or status is possible as well as a complete transformation in that area. Expanding your personal goals is possible, but moving forward as you like may be contrary to others around you. Your need for freedom, particularly freedom of choice, will be apparent.

July 31: Your desire to move forward will encounter even more resistance from someone close to you.
