This morning, Moon in communicative Gemini favors taking care of paperwork, giving a presentation or speech, writing a letter, voicing a new idea, promoting something, reaching out to a sibling. At 2:48 pm (5:48 pm ET), Moon goes VOC. Now, we can kick back, take a break, and do crossword puzzles or play Scrabble. It’s best to leave key initiatives on hold after Moon enters Cancer at 6:24 pm (9:24 pm ET). Even then, we’ll want to move mindfully. We’re on the doorstep of tomorrow’s Eclipse, so it’s best to focus on something we’ve been preparing for, or something that responds to our soul needs. In tune with compassionate Cancer, we can connect with the pool of compassion in our hearts and share it in a gesture of empathy to a family member, our inner child, or someone who needs nurturance. Or we can work on forgiveness, embark on a new course of metaphysical studies, declutter our homes or personal spaces, research something related to real estate, go on an inner journey, cook, putter around the house, and/or (lovely!) take a warm bath.
TUESDAY, JULY 2
A Total New Moon Solar Eclipse makes today one of the year’s essential power portals. In conjunction to the North Node, this Eclipse is considered fortunate. It triggers an influx of new energy and opportunities and is more propitious for beginnings than for closing cycles or dealing with the past. However, with Mercury in pre-retrograde shadow, focus on something you want to get off the ground or consolidate, but that was started before Summer Solstice (Friday, June 21). Write down your intention. In sextile to Uranus the liberator and connecting with expansive Jupiter, this lunation serves to unblock something close to our souls that we’ve been trying to heal or to make happen.
Cancer is an active, cardinal sign—focused on the growth of one’s business, family, creativity and soul. Cancer is also emotional. We can get our bearings in this mobile sea by sitting on the grass, hugging a tree, walking barefoot on the beach, journaling, connecting with a support group and provoking a pause to listen to intuition. If you’re carrying an open wound, affirm healing and begin to develop a way to attend to it. In fact, Moon’s wide opposition to Saturn in paternal Capricorn—sign of the year’s next two Eclipses—indicates that issues around our children, including our inner child—are part of this Moon’s mission. The lunation also plays into the Saturn-Neptune sextile that’s another one of the year’s main transits—a propitious connection for building on our dreams. Reconnect with your vision and visualization, organize for progress, yet before acting or planning, listen to the magical child within. Her unique voice is waiting and ready to guide you.
The Sabian symbol for 9-10 Cancer says:
A WONDERFUL DIAMOND IS BEING CUT TO PERFECT SHAPE. Spiritual fulfillment or the acme of civilized being. Actualization of potentialities and out-pressing of real selfhood. In practical affairs, proceed with calm, but do act.
WEDNESDAY JULY 3
At 7:25 am (9:25 ET), Moon in sensitive Cancer goes VOC on an opposition to Pluto. Moon in the sign of the crab still performs, yet this aspect may cast a somewhat dark tone on a usually tender placement. Less than an hour later, the entrance of sweet Venus in Cancer offers a gift of healing love and beauty. We can schedule a therapy session, do something creative, and one way or another, work on emotional wellness. Share the energy by writing a letter to Congress about the children at the border or in Syria or some other group in need. We are caught up in a cosmic give and take today, making us unclear about our ambitions. An irritating connection between cerebral Mercury and imaginative Neptune can be confusing if we’re trying extra hard to wrap our minds around a concrete subject. Our attention turns away from noisy communication and toward nurturing others once Venus enters caring Cancer. Meanwhile, the Moon enters expressive Leo at 11:19 pm EDT, enticing us to speak our truth. followed by a conjunction to Mars that intensifies this already energetic placement. Now is the time to ask for support, and to give and receive positive recognition. If these vital vibrations keep you up, try going dancing, exercising, working on art, or on tomorrow’s menu or itinerary.
THURSDAY, JULY 4
Independence Day is here, and Moon in Leo is up for a party.
Leo Moon makes a morning trine to Chiron and a square to Uranus that can help early-risers get in touch with their own voice and release co-dependence. These transits are apt to fuel alternative celebrations like a march or protest of some kind. Before engaging in the day’s festivities, center yourself in your own being—take time to do dream work, or journal about what independence means to you.
FRIDAY, JULY 5
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the
ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald
pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. Venus, who gets
oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force
and as a creative one. The 5 roses represent the five senses in the Empress card (Atu 3) And in the Lovers card
(Atu 6 ) the senses are the five fruits of Eve. Venus is indeed in cahoots with the senses. All movement of all living
creatures in world of Assiah are tied to the senses and the desire-nature. The accomplished Lightpilot can remove the
robe of desire in order to withdraw into the worlds of Briah and Atzitluth, but in order to achieve anything in the
physical realms you keep that robe on. When you act, your gonna act in terms of desire. Venus represents that which
is desirable. Every living thing seeks pleasure and tries to avoid pain. Victory lies in understanding our desire
nature and learning how to use it Moon goes VOC in Leo the wee hours, where she coasts on for the rest of the day.
Rest up from yesterday’s partying, enjoy art, clown around, encourage someone, express your feelings warmly. Steer clear of potentially unpleasant encounters, avoid unnecessary arguments or making sarcastic or rude jokes that might hurt someone’s feelings. At 9:25 pm (12:25 am ET), Moon enters practical Virgo, great for picking up after the party or doing a bit of work.
SATURDAY, JULY 6
The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Fire Atziluth. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of
Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum.
"Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Fire week, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability
in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your
base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response,
with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and
build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be
growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our
survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this,
(such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian
imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with
money, possessions or health.Ladies and gentlemen, as we rise out of the pit of unpleasant reflexes on this
Saturnsday in Fireweek, let me remind you that the core is ill-prepared to respond to any whiny little
demands, so if you would kindly refrain from dying in your seats we shall all have a happier trip.Morning harmonies
to Venus and Uranus release the productive potential of Moon in Virgo and reduce its snit factor. Virgo Moon urges
us to clean, declutter, fix something, scour, sort, troubleshoot, and help. We might also find ourselves focusing on
our own health—and go to the gym, visit a health professional, or recommit to a diet and stock up on healthy food. In
the realm of communications and business, we might, research an alternative subject, work on practical manifestation and
finances, and push to complete something. Today’s prosperous numerology of 6 brings fortune in business and joy in
relating—especially with alternative kinds of company and conversation.
Nighttime is good for a heart-to-heart or cuddling in bed.
SUNDAY, JULY 7
With Moon in Virgo, ruled by Mercury, and the mental numerology of 7, this is a thoughtful day.
Early morning is good for healing and spiritual inspiration. At 9:50 am (12:50 pm ET), Moon goes VOC on a trine to Pluto the plumber. This influence is great for deep thinking, enjoying film and art, healing our emotions and/or helping others heal or transform their lives. Late this afternoon, Moon’s ruler, Mercury, stations to go completely retrograde, which is also propitious for looking within.
At 11:07 pm (2:07 am), Moon enters Libra.
MONDAY, JULY 8
This is an intense day that can catalyze a breakthrough, but that also requires an extra dose of diplomacy.
Now at the end of her First Quarter, Moon in socially adept Libra can do both. Her ruler, Venus, sextiles Uranus, planet of surprises, an aspect that can open wonderful doors, so knock! A contact from Sun to Jupiter sheds rays of luck; while both the big planet and Uranus support our freedom. Today’s powerful numerology of 8 increases our drive. These influences can make for significant breakthroughs, particularly this morning, before Moon triggers tense aspects beginning at 9:08 am (12:08 pm ET). An afternoon conjunction from Mercury the messenger to feisty Mars gives us mental energy but can spark unnecessary arguments. Also, Sun is approaching an opposition to Saturn, which keeps us focused on progress yet can also create a sense of being blocked or unworthy.Seek out collaborators and prospects, beautify your image, ideas, and proposals, but keep your eye on the big picture and your heart in harmony. Avoid getting nitpicky or reactive and save tense negotiations for another day.
