July kicks off with the Full Thunder/Buck Super Moon in Capricorn at 11° 18′ on July 3rd at 7:39 EST . With Pluto now Retrograded back into Capricorn, this Full Moon will bring to light the issues and themes of Capricorn that include tradition, foundations, government, banking and finance, old regimes, religious control, politics, goals, corporations, work or career issues. With the Sun in Cancer
and being opposite to Capricorn, this Full Moon each year gives us the opportunity to explore our work/life balance; the importance of home, safety, security, our families, ancestors and the traditions that we carry through the generations. Choices and Integrity are highlighted this year as Saturn Retrograde in Pisces brings the flavor along with Neptune in Pisces to review and dissolve delusions, illusions, lies and deceit. Expect old stories to rise back up to the surface at home and in the media so they can be dealt with once and for all. All of this to build a new foundation and a new and kinder reality. There is also a surge of positive energy flowing through with a Trine to Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus bring something beautiful into our lives.
There is a caution straight ahead as they the Full Moon and Jupiter/Uranus are Squaring Venus and Mars in Leo; we could be accident prone, so be mindful of your actions and surrounding. Here are the highlights and key dates for the month:
Choices is the theme this month – choices to stay in victim mode or rise about and empower one’s self. This is a time for reevaluation of everything. Reevaluating our values will be highlighted when Venus Retrogrades in Leo. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog and video breaking that down. What I heard from my Guides was “We as a society have become addicted to suffering.” Old behaviors and patterns need to be reevaluated, but there is a fine line of processing emotions and tipping into toxic positivity (when one will not allow any negative feeling or thought into their space, creating judgment and separation.)
Uranus in Taurus Squaring Venus and Mars in Leo could bring a volatility to global finance and the economy. We could see unexpected expenses or something costing more than we originally expected. The Venus Retrograde will ask us all to review our own personal finances and readjust our budgets.
The New Moon in Cancer at 24° 56’ 2:32 pm EST compounding off the Venus Retrograde could bring too much drama to our worlds asking us to retreat into our shells and placing all our focus and attention on our own internal state, our values and what or who truly matters and aligns with the Self that we are right now in the present…not a past Self or a future Self, but right here and now.
Last, but not least, the shifting of the Nodes of the Moon from Taurus/Scorpio into Aries/Libra for the next 18 months will have the biggest impact for us this year. The energy is about The Self and The Relations; the balance between the two will be one of the myriad of themes playing out. Stay tuned for a in-depth blog and video soon.
Now here is the July Stars and Cards for the first half of July– returning mid-month for the New Moon in Cancer update, the Venus Retrograde and the North/South Nodes in Aries/Libra:
