Hope Among The Field.
The Full Moon is in Aquarius 9º on August 1st at 2:31 PM ET. This Full Moon comes as a marker, an illuminated pinnacle. It signifies the power of release and finding our way through the tensions we may have faced since November 2021. With Aquarian energy so prominent at this Full Moon, we will have our eyes fixated on our hopes, dreams, and wishes—perhaps even our network, community, and friendships. We have to recognize where we are and who we surround ourselves with and see how that impacts the big picture (not only in our lives personally but also collectively). Aquarius brings truth, unmoved and undeterred, in the pursuit of understanding where we belong in the grand scheme of it all.
Saturn traditionally leads this Full Moon, making aspects to Mercury. It meets in opposition to this winged messanger to highlight the release of pre-conceived notions. Saturn’s opposition can add a bit of heaviness to this Full Moon, almost as if letting go isn’t as easy as we hope. Unfortunately, the tense aspect of this lunation does not end with Saturn. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and will also partially lead this lunation. Uranus represents a need to be free. Saturn and Uranus—two powerhouses at odds with one another. Uranus reinforces an ongoing narrative with Venus as they meet in square again, this time with Venus retrograde. With Fixed energy being the central focus, we must find ways to free ourselves from outdated or overly traditional mindsets. Uranus is swirling like a radical storm around this time, pulsing seismic activity to show us cracks in our own inner foundations. Where Saturn will ask us to stabilize, Uranus will tell us to upheave. But not all hope is lost; the Moon is in Aquarius, after all.
As I mentioned, not all hope is lost at all! Luckily, the outlet of this tension is Mars and Jupiter. Mars is receiving positive energy from Jupiter. It is travelling through Mutable Virgo, allowing us to shift and be flexible. Jupiter will encapsulate us in its expansive vision, pushing us to move through whatever difficulties could arise from this lunation. With the Sun and Moon both square Jupiter, there are even more golden beams to be had. When Jupiter squares the luminaries, we find strength and power in our talents and abilities. This is insurmountable energy. Even through any harsh realities, we face at this Full Moon, both Mars and Jupiter will give us the gusto to overcome; a resilience unmatched.
Don’t give up on something you feel passionate about, but do know that sometimes things take longer to achieve than we realize. It is important to recognize the collective focus of this lunation. The gifts of Aquarius are connection and idealism. Keeping that in mind means that as we pursue our goals, we must make sure we have people around us that want to see us succeed and will help us arrive there. Accepting that support will be monumental. You never have to face anything completely alone.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 4º to 14º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
11th House | Connection
At this Full Moon, the big questions are: where do you find hope? Who is there to support you? You are someone who may often try to do things all on your own. But at what cost? As we enter this Full Moon, your hopes, dreams, wishes, network, and support system all come into focus — as this Full Moon falls in your 11th House. Who do you call upon in your time of need? We can’t be the stabilizing factor for others all the time. Sometimes, we need people to rally around us too. Luckily, this Full Moon ensures that you have that. Friends are showing up for you, and a dream seems to be within reach. Yet, there is an air of uncertainty.
Uranus and Saturn lead this Full Moon. Uranus squares Venus, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 2nd House. You could be facing self-confidence or self-worth issues. Maybe this creates doubt in how you expend your energy. Alternatively, you could be battling something financial around this Full Moon that is making it harder to keep your cool. There could be an unexpected bill, or maybe a dream/idea comes at a cost. Uranus is a wildcard, and it is hard to see how it may play out. Expected the unexpected.
Saturn adds to this energy in a way. It opposes Mercury, bringing with it a sense of restraint. Saturn is telling you that it is time to actually leave the past behind. You have to trust your intuition more than you ever have before. Saturn gifts you spiritual wisdom and the knowledge that you can still move ahead without a fully formulated plan. You may feel you may need to make some sacrifices or compromises along the way. This isn’t forever — and really it may not even be the case at all. Saturn is also teaching you the value of an ending and closure. The resolutions we may see in the coming weeks, months, or year will be telling of the future that will unfold before you. Nothing can stay as it is forever, but evolution is what makes life so precious.
Use this Full Moon to open yourself to possibility. It is time to ask for help and see that the future is co-created. It requires that you have the will to seek support. Everything is in flux, but the outcome will present itself soon. Things may come and go in life, but focus on the people that remain a constant.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
10th House | Purpose
What is the pinnacle for you? The Aquarius Full Moon usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements. The last 6 months have had you working hard and making decisions that impacted your future — and now it seems that you are either beginning or about to begin a new phase. This Full Moon falls in your 10th House that rules all of these things: career, direction and publicity. You may not realize it, but you are in a position of power right now. The ball is seemingly in your court. You could be going for a promotion, looking to switch careers, move, or even change what you do for work. Whatever it is, how you build foundation and security in the world is in focus.
There may be hiccups as Venus will square off with Uranus. Uranus is sitting in your 1st House, creating waves for the last few years. You have been finding new ways to change how you approach your identity and motivations. This is about freeing yourself from past versions of yourself. Because of the tension between Venus and Uranus, one of the freedoms must be around expectations. If things have been rocky, it is time to clear the area. Uranus will create surprises, so watch people’s behavior. Don’t try to control what or who you can’t. We just have to go with the flow with this Full Moon.
Saturn’s influence at this Full Moon is equally as strong as it opposes Mercury. Perhaps there is a limitation created in the area of your dreams. A friend could be going through a hard time or weighing heavily on you at this time. So, as much as others may show up for you, you may feel the reciprocal need to do the same. Alternatively, you could be looking at how you can lessen a burden you’ve been carrying, as Mercury seeks to free itself from the confines of Saturn. Saturn rules time and in the case of your aspirations, give yourself grace. Longevity is a big part of what you are working toward. Immediate results are unlikely. You may even feel there is a trade-off or sacrifice you may need to make in order to achieve what you hope for.
Use this Full Moon to start a new journey in your life direction or career. Go for a promotion, a new job, or even a career change. Put yourself up on a pedestal more and see your worth and value as it is in the light of day. Work on your long-term goals and start making moves to bring them to fruition. You have a lot of power in your hands right now. How are you going to use it?
Gemini & Gemini Rising
9th House | Experience
Faith — a word that you must work with more. You must learn the power of having faith in yourself and taking a leap toward your goals and dreams. The Aquarius Full Moon brings the energy to nurture areas of growth in your life. There is a sense that your paths to growth, evolution, change, expansion and new territory are opening up. This can happen through education, spirituality, work, or even just your personal next steps. You have been sitting with “where do I go from here” for quite some time. This is your chance to make moves. Of course, that requires that keyword: Faith.
Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing – thus scattering your energy into too many things. Venus is under fire from Uranus, creating tension. Uranus sits in your 12th House. You are trying to talk things out, but you aren’t being heard. The 12th House rules all that’s hidden: secrets, dreams, subconscious energy, and even enemies. Someone may show you their true colors now — and not in the way you had anticipated.
Emotions will run high at this Full Moon, but know with Uranus in the 12th House like this, it will bring an ending. Maybe it is time to finally let go of something or someone in your life. Uranus wants you to trust your intuition more than anything. Saturn will oppose Mercury at this lunation, trying to keep things in order. It can feel heavy, but also help us with long-term planning. Even through the work you are doing in your career or public image, there is a dismantling, breakdown, or restructuring coming. You could feel limited in what you are able to share or speak upon. But ultimately, you know that are you building toward a long-term future goal. It may feel heavy at first, and not everyone is going to receive what you are doing well. However, do not let this be a deterrent. Saturn reminds us that in time everything will balance out. You have been here before in your life. The weight you feel will subside.
Use this Full Moon to truly believe in yourself, opening up the floodgates of potential. Take time, and see the sky’s the limit. You have to learn that some risks are worth the reward. You are itching to travel, go to new places, meet new people, or simply engage in new experiences overall. You are seeking a fresh start, and this Full moon can give it to you. What are you waiting for?
Cancer & cancer Rising
8th House | Intimacy
It is time to get intimate. You have to face the shadow eventually, and right now, you are asked to see what has been hidden from view or deal with what has been left unchecked. The Full Moon shines a light in your 8th House. This is a time of transformation, change, and evolution – but also a time of healing and sharing the deepest parts of yourself with someone else. There is a level of fear that can be associated with this, understandably. You are very close-lipped about your emotional nature. But sometimes, stability requires sharing what lies beneath the foundation. Questions around worth, shared resources, sexuality, close partnerships, and money could come up now.
Uranus, a co-ruler to the Full Moon, is creating activity and little tension from your 11th House as it squares Venus. It seems that a friend, relationship, or dream is being questioned. They could be depleting your resources (emotional and financially), as well as having you think about the longevity of it all. If it is a dream, maybe you are trying to figure out how to fund it. Well, with Uranus — inspiration can come! If it is a friend or relationship, Uranus is much more unpredictable. It is hard to figure out the outcome, but know you must have open and honest communication. The 11th House, where Uranus is, rules the future. So, your future is coming into focus and something needs to be addressed that impacts that. It will take some tact and maybe overcoming the fears you hold to help you see things through.
Saturn is the other ruler of this lunation. It sits in tight opposition to Mercury. Here, it helps us seek grounding and focus in the chaos that is Uranus’s energy. It reminds us that in the uncertainty, we may have to let go a bit or seek out space for sharing how we really feel about a situation. Saturn brings you experiential wisdom, where you learn hands-on, or through the process. Be careful when traveling at this time, as Saturn could bring delays. In the pursuit of your goals, know that you will not see immediate results. You are creating foundations for the future.
Use this Full Moon to start a new cycle for yourself and embrace your shadows. Commune with your inner world and transmute grief into strength. Find new ways of investing or saving financially, but also investing in yourself. Work on getting more intimate with your needs — find the hidden power that lies within you. Form deeper bonds with those you trust.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
7th House | Relation
The tone shifts from the New Moon to the Full Moon, where we focus on the “we.” Especially as your 7th House is coming into play under the energy of this Full Moon. From late 2020 through early this year, you had been dealing with Saturn going through your 7th House, restructuring your relations with others. This impacts how you engage in the world around you — and most importantly your one-on-one relationships. That period may be over, but this Full Moon brings an opportunity to make changes on the partnership front. This could look like anything, but the main factor here is that you have a choice. You can take things to the next level or choose to walk away. Some of you may be very happy in your relationship and seek to settle more into it. Others see that they may need to have conversations about reciprocity. Equality and level-setting seem to be coming up as well. This could be outside of romantic relationships – seeping into other personal or professional unions you have (friends, family, work).
Uranus squares Venus in your sign, creating electricity from your 10th House. There is something going on at work. There could be a restructure, a surprise, or a change in your career, office, work — or even in your own life direction! You may be questioning your vocation or might need to reframe your perspective to align with where you want to be. This could encompass working for yourself, changes to your personal life, or even a promotion. But whatever it is, Uranus is definitely bringing a call for attention — and possibly action. Know if something comes to an end, there will be something new that comes just as quickly. Uranus is the liberator, so you could be freeing yourself from the confines of your work and moving into a new field entirely (whether by your own accord or not). But it is unpredictable, so we have to roll with the punches with Uranus.
Saturn co-rules the lunation with Uranus, and it sits in an opposition to Mercury. Here, Saturn is a grounding force. Saturn may bring weight to feeling or shadow that sits in your heart, body, or soul. What feels like a limitation now is a point of power for you. This is a reclamation of sorts. Look your fear in the face, name it, and no longer let it control you. Saturn is helping you build long-term structures in the way you give and receive. But the requirement is to get intimate, real, and honest. The weight of the world is not on your shoulders. Put it down.
Use this Full Moon to start something new with other people in your life. Enact boundaries and keep them. Stand up for yourself. Form new relationships and alliances. Seek counsel and re-evaluate people who have been disrespecting your energy. Strengthen the partnerships that truly matter. Some of you may even decide to take your romantic relationship to the next level. Whatever you do, know that you will likely surprise those around you.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
6th House | Service
This Full Moon is a call to connect with yourself, your body, and the world around you. You are asked to get organized. Sometimes, order can help you focus, and this energy is with you to get down to business. You can make turning points in your health and work while creating new routines and rituals that fit your needs now. If you need medical care, this Full Moon will highlight that. You should schedule routine visits and simply do what you can to honor your body overall. If you are looking for freelance work, a new job, or even just a lateral move, this Full Moon can help you too.
Uranus, a co-ruler of this lunation, is sitting in your 9th House, so you could be questioning your next leap in life— your next steps. Your goals and future are being reflected upon. Perhaps you are trying to find new ways to grow and this requires a shift in perspective. Morality and education will come up here. You will have to take a stance on something you believe in and not be afraid to share this viewpoint with others…even if it upsets them. You may also be facing a crisis of consciousness, trying to learn to have faith, even when you may doubt yourself. Uranus squares Venus, creating some tension.
Saturn, the other ruler of this Full Moon, will oppose Mercury. The relationships you establish or reinforce now will have longevity — including the relationship you have with yourself. It could be a good time to commit. There may also be a heaviness you feel around others and the processing of your own boundaries. You could feel disappointed by the actions of someone close to you. Ultimately, Saturn is creating a space for you to share with others exactly what you need.
Use this Full Moon to find new routines and regimens that work for you. Create daily practices that you can keep while maintaining your love of variety. Try new workouts and adhere to a healthier diet. You may be asked to let go of a bad habit or improve something in your life. Watch how much you take on and make time for rest and self-care. Take care of your body, and your needs, and know it is ok to nourish yourself too.
Libra & Libra Rising
5th House | Risk
Full Moons are a time of illumination. This one comes in to remind you of your happiness, joy, and pleasure. It falls in your 5th House of creativity, conception, love, and children. You are asked to have the courage to be yourself and find ways to do things that set your heart on fire. This fiery area of your chart activates pleasure-seeking and learning to embrace our sense of expression. The Moon shines to bring about ways for you to take center stage. However, Venus (your ruler) is under siege by Uranus, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 8th House.
Uranus is in your 8th House of intimacy, shared resources, and healing. There needs to be a bit of a death…metaphorically of course. An outdated idea or mentality has to go so that you can actually achieve a dream. This also requires that you get intimate with yourself and others. Are you sharing the deepest parts of yourself? Do people know what is really going on behind the scenes? You can’t hide forever, and Uranus will have you feeling electric as you are itching to break out of your own skin. You have to be willing to confront your shadows or your demons. Seeking counsel will be important— even if it is just from a friend. You have to get out of your own way.
Saturn, a co-ruler of this lunation with Uranus, will be opposite Mercury. Saturn can have weighted energy. It is helping you restructure your routines and daily life. Saturn has been teaching you lessons on work/life balance and asking for you to know your limits and what you can take on. If you accept a new position or job, Saturn will ensure that this is a long-term choice, but it comes with more responsibility. Be aware of what you commit to. Understand the implications of the decisions you make. It is ok to take your time before rushing into anything.
Use this Full Moon to let loose and have a bit of fun! Work on finding your strengths and using them to your advantage. Follow your heart and your creativity — let it all flow. Get in touch with your inner child and open yourself up to new experiences. Most importantly, take time to stand out and shine radiantly! You deserve to be happy as much as anyone else does. It doesn’t make you selfish. It just makes you human. Have pride in who you are.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
4th House | Foundation
This Full Moon falls in a Fixed sign like yours, so the energy will feel more potent for you. With a Fixed Full Moon, what we find can last for a long time. With it in Aquarius, it impacts areas of your life that need attention. This would be your 4th House of home, family, foundation, and roots. You may find that you are having to face familial matters you have been avoiding. Alternatively, you could be doing work around the home: buying, selling, moving, and redecorating. Whatever it is, it seems that you are sitting at the center of this space. There may be hiccups, as Venus will square off with Uranus.
Uranus is the planet of surprise, with an unpredictable nature. You may be shocked at what you discover around this Full Moon – particularly around your partnerships or closest one-on-one relationships. You may be ending a partnership (business or romantic) or be presented with something you had not considered before. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem you were privy to the reaction or information. Of course, this could be a good surprise — as you never know with Uranus. Some of you may unexpectedly get a job offer, asked to be engaged, or take a relationship to the next level! With Uranus at play, it is best to not try to control the circumstances. This is a time to take a leap and see where it takes you, even if it shakes your sense of security. Keep in mind the 7th House, where Uranus is, rules all one-on-one relationships: business, familial, platonic, romantic, contractual, etc.
This Full Moon also comes with a strong opposition between Mercury and Saturn, one of the rulers of this lunation. Saturn has been teaching you lessons of actively giving yourself space to seek pleasure. Saturn may remind you of the value of doing things that make you happy. It can keep us grounded in the face of Uranus’s chaos. There may be some disappointments or recognitions around how you put your heart forward. You may need to carve out time for your joy and make long-term commitments to yourself in a new way. The heaviness you may feel now is temporary through the process of giving yourself what you need to feel loved.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your home and family life. Redecorate, renovate, or move. Try resolving past issues with family that may be residual or seek to create better boundaries with them. Take time away to rest and reflect on this lunation. Lean into your nostalgia a bit and make peace with the past. Open yourself up to ancestral guidance, learn more about your lineage and connect with those you love — living or deceased. Know that you create the security and safety you seek.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
3rd House | Understanding
It’s that time again! The Full Moon is here! This one falls in Aquarius, shining a light on your 3rd House. The 3rd House rules communication, connection, understanding, local community, siblings, and writing. This is the area of our chart where we tell people who we are and where we process information. This Full Moon will have you with no shortage of ideas or things to say — but you may be feeling caught in analysis paralysis. Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing, thus scattering your energy into too many things. To add to the matter, Venus is under fire from Uranus, creating tension.
Uranus is sitting in your 6th House. Work or your daily life seems to be busier than ever, almost a little overwhelming. You have been running around with no clear direction. It is muddying what you hope for and causing you to not see the big picture…your goals. Uranus is creating changes with work, health, and routines. Some of these are outside your control. It could be feast or famine, or maybe you are just looking to free yourself from the norms you have always known. Uranus pushes you toward understanding that you can’t control the circumstances, but you can control the outcome. You need to reframe your security. If you are having health issues, take charge. Alternatively, if this is about lifestyle, then maybe you need to rethink how you go about your routines. Make health a priority so that you can live out your future goals.
Saturn co-rules this lunation with Uranus, where it will oppose Mercury. It grounds us from the chaotic nature of Uranus and here you reimagine your idea of home or your role within your family. Now, you are focused on creating a more sturdy foundation here. You may have to face a harsh reality in relation to your inner world or home space. What you thought brought you safety may no longer. Alternatively, you could explore a redefinition of family or home in your own right. Saturn pushes us toward long-term decisions. The energy will feel heavy around this Full Moon, but it is temporary.
Use this Full Moon to really lean into using your voice. Listen to what others have to say— but also share what you need or think. Start a new project or reach out to those around you. Connect with friends and siblings. Write down all of your ideas and seek adventure close to home. Be flexible, use what you know and adapt to the situations that are around you.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
2nd House | Worth
This time of year can have your mind on finances. The Aquarius Full Moon always brings up questions about money, value, and worth. This is because the Moon goes through your 2nd House of income, self-worth, and material possessions. Actually, it seems that you could have the potential to make changes to how you earn money. You could be looking to bring in more or simply change your relationship with money. You may also have higher expenditures than normal. So, pay attention to your financial picture (especially with the Uranus square I will be talking about shortly). Alternatively, you could be making changes to your self-confidence and what you stand for or believe in. The last few years have seen you grow, evolving into a new person. Thus, you are making shifts in what you choose to find value in. What would you consider to be a tradition for you? What gives you a sense of worth? Don’t allow this to be tied to other people, as Uranus (see I told you we would get there) is squaring Venus.
Uranus is making things a little unpredictable. There is an air of uncertainty around this Full Moon. Uranus sits in your 5th House of expression, creativity, love, and self-confidence. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Uranus is itching to help you break free from limitations and choose to take that plunge, that leap. You have to put yourself out there, even if it seems hard so that people can see the real you…all of you. You can’t hide anymore. The ways in which you have made yourself small are coming to a head. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Saturn, your ruler, is in a prominent position at this lunation. It opposes Mercury, keeping you grounded and level-headed — but also adding to the restraint. It asks that you focus on what you say and how you are saying it. If you sign a contract, it could have a long-term impact. Saturn may also keep you feeling boxed in, which is where Uranus’s energy is conflicting. You could find that you are having a hard time sharing how you feel or even being heard. Understand that your voice is a point of power right now. Don’t quiet yourself in the face of criticism.
Use this Full Moon to open doors to new resources and focus on what you have and what you can gain. You may have to let go to receive. Seek alternative sources of income or money. Look to new pathways of earning. Confront your feeling of being unworthy. Hold yourself in high regard and own your value. Your talents bring you everything you want. You own, create, and hold all of the potential in your own hands.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
1st House | Independence
It is your time, dear Aquarius! Don’t let anyone dim your light. This Full Moon is a call to come home back to yourself, finding clarity in your identity, and what you actually want in life. It falls in your 1st House of self. You are carving out a new space for you to be more…you. This is important, as you have been working hard the last many years to figure out what you actually want. Saturn had been in your sign making it difficult to get ahead without effort or hard work, but that period ended in March of this year. Saturn does co-rules this lunation now, so it asks you to put what you’ve learned to the test! It isn’t just that you have gained new insight, but what you actually do with it.
Uranus is in your 4th House, squaring off with Venus. So, it seems that you may feel pulled in two directions. You could have shifts coming at home that you were not privy to. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could place stress on you. This Full Moon makes alterations to how you view your family. Perhaps shifting your home/family itself (is there a new member coming, or is your family dynamic restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. It is hard to tell what will happen, as Uranus is a planet of unpredictability. However, it is your co-ruler, so the outcome could be favorable for you. It helps you bring an end to something that may have been holding you back — or it could allow you to listen to your intuition more.
Saturn, our friend we spent time talking about, is in a tight opposition to Mercury. The energy here can feel binding. As if to say, whatever you start now will have a long-term impact on your resources and financial picture. This may create some pressure for you, however. So be mindful of the feelings you are placing on materiality and worth. You don’t need to make a passion or hobby a financial obligation. Actually, Saturn is helping you separate your feelings from your personal and professional life. You can leverage a talent in a way that creates a new type of security. It just requires some restructuring in how you feel about it.
Use this Full Moon to call back your power. Stand in your body and fully own who you are. Run for what you want and start a new cycle in your being. Seek wholeness in your identity and share yourself unapologetically. Give yourself space for freedom and open the doors to change. Don’t resist what unfolds, instead leap into it. Embrace the present. Own your shadow — and your light.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
12th House | Intuition
It is time to withdraw a bit, Pisces. You know your time is coming, but this Aquarius Full Moon highlights a time to go within and take time to rest. It falls in your 12th House, bringing something to a close and asking for respite. You could be working behind the scenes on a project, finishing up something personal, or even just taking some time off. The 12th House asks for you to get in touch with your intuition and pay attention to your dreams. You could be re-engaging with a more spiritual and hidden aspect of yourself now. You are asked to have faith and let go of control. This is a timely message as Uranus comes in to create tensions at this Full Moon.
Uranus is in your 3rd House. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that really changes your perspective. It may come from a friend, sibling, neighbor, or someone in your local community. Alternatively, you could be signing a contract or dealing with paperwork and discover something you had not found before. Make sure you read everything VERY carefully before you commit or put your name on the paper. Uranus can create some general anxiety, but the Sun and Venus in the 6th are helping you maintain focus — if you choose to control what you can. You may even get an unexpected offer for a job! Uranus is unpredictable, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Uranus can manifest is through inspiring ideas in your 3rd House. Uranus may push you to be more vocal or share — perhaps in ways you had not considered before.
Saturn has been teaching you lessons about letting go over the last few months. Saturn will oppose Mercury in Virgo, your polar sign. Here you are told to really remain grounded, secure, and focused. Saturn wants to know that you are unshakeable, and it grants you the ability to be just that. It offers you a chance to recognize how resilient you are — even in your gentleness. This is a fine time to refine how you see yourself and what you want out of life. The decisions you make may feel life-altering or heavy. But in reality, they will evolve as you do. Know that some things will take time, as Saturn rules time. So try not to seek immediate gratification.
Use this Full Moon to slow down and focus on completion. Take time for rest, reflection, and respite. Turn your attention to what needs to be addressed and seek resolution. Close doors on what no longer holds value in your life — let go of limitations. Ease into the spiritual space and commune with your spirit. Give yourself forgiveness, grace, and peace. You deserve it now.

Moon Miniscopes
Fluidity As Formidability.
Forward written by Anthony Perrotta, horoscopes written by Suprasensory Shahir.
The New Moon is in Cancer 24º on July 17th at 2:31 PM ET. The Moon comes home, back to its position where it feels most comforted and nourished by the soft energy of Cancer. We can let the waters rush in to cleanse us and prompt us for a new beginning. This is a baptism of sorts – we are renewed.
We watch the Moon itself closely, as it is the leader of this lunation. Just as the Moon goes dark, we too, turn inward to reorganize our inner world. The Moon touches the Sun, where they meet in a warm embrace. This energy is one of fresh starts and a reorientation of our internal and external worlds. We are taking stock of our emotional natures and trying to ensure that our needs are being met before we venture out into the world. This is especially true as both the Sun and Moon sextile Uranus. We must understand what keeps us limited or bound before taking steps outside of ourselves.
Uranus is a planet of revelation, change – so when it engages in a harmonious aspect, it may have us itching for growth or new potential. We may feel ready to embark on a journey that pushes us beyond our limits. This may mean that we step outside of our safety. Neptune also plays along this lunation, as it trines the Sun and Moon. The energy can feel dreamy, inspiring, and romantic. Neptune is newly retrograde, which actually has the inverse impact on us. We tend to gain clarity during Neptune retrogrades. So, its relationship to the Sun and Moon will be extra energizing and clear. We are willing to see what we once ignored. Our intuition will be especially heightened at this New Moon. Listen to what you are feeling.
Mars is also a key player around this New Moon. It is pulled into the hands of Saturn, where we must review where our energy is being placed. We are reworking and re-evaluating. However, this is not all bad, as Saturn can stabilize Mars. It helps it deconstruct what holds it hostage and create new pathways of revitalization. The Mars/Saturn opposition is a doorway toward intentional action and mindful movement, when we balance the energies. Whatever we begin now will have long-term impacts with a slow, but attainable, build.
Mercury will square Jupiter, and it seems that we are feeling stuck between blazing new trails and remaining comfortable with what we know. Instead of allowing them to battle one another, let them work in tandem. Because when we create comforts, we feel inspired to explore, quest; from this, everything else begins to steadily bloom in our lives.
Evaluate your sense of security, and who or what you turn to in your time of need. Who is your home? What brings you safety? These things create the backbone of your next adventure.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 19º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
4th House | Intimate Belonging
Home is where we retreat to feel safe with who we are and be with our chosen loved ones. Perhaps, ever since Pluto was in Capricorn in late 2008 opposing the Cancer sign, each Cancer season lunation felt like a catharsis and soul-reckoning of what “home” is to you. This New Moon is a reminder that home has always been your self-definition of it: the forever space of intimate creation between your inner-child and your inner-parent. You are in a more resourced space, be it materially, spiritually, psychologically, etc. to create new ancestral patterns for yourself, and your loved ones. Tap into this lunation to set the intention of creating the definition of home that brings the deepest sense of belonging - integrating the whole being and soul-longing of everyone involved.
There is unseen magical help available to you right now to orient toward your dreams with the lunation trining Neptune in Pisces - perhaps it is your beloved ancestors who have always been your #1 spirit guardian, perhaps it is the oceanic temple or healing garden you access through meditation, or perhaps it is just a meditative time and reflection with yourself.
With Mars, your chart ruler, in Virgo - there is an inherent desire to serve, to be discerning of your physical capacity and mental health. Sometimes, confronting the limits of our body capacity - makes us feel limited. What if, rather than feeling limited, we also feel liberated from knowing that we do not have to do it all? Knowing our physical limitations is a form of spiritual transcendence, and perhaps the secret recipe to feel like a winner in life. With Mercury and Venus stationing in Leo, you are clarifying the methods of how-you-play in life to derive the utmost pleasure.
With the North Node freshly entering Aries, there is an undeniable hunger to become more of the maverick and pioneering person that you are, always have, and forever will be. I hope the New Moon provides a spiritual and nurturing home base for everything that is to come.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
3rd House | Intimate Mind
The mind is the origin. This New Moon occurs in your 3rd House of Locality, Communication, and Inner-knowing amongst other themes. In spiritual and psychological teachings, there is a belief that our mental framings surrounding any events happening to us are such important factors to determine how we experience and judge life itself. This New Moon invites you to be more intimate with your innate and accessible power of creating new realities.
In ancient astrology, the Moon rejoices in the 3rd House, and part of it is because the Moon cares the most about our life on Earth, as it is the closest astrological body to us. In order to create new realities in our lives, we have to care about the people and places around us, because your environment shapes your mental framings, and your ideas shape your environment. Perhaps this New Moon is a reminder that your mind is a holy place for an intimate renewal.
What if I told you, whatever you believe and think about in the next two weeks will become true with this lunation? Sometimes, the process might also evoke a sense of fear because everyone has a different relationship with how powerful our minds are. Do not underestimate the mind. With Jupiter in Taurus, you might feel more spiritual and adventurous with life, and you might internalize the wisdom that the greatest teacher in your life is YOU. You have to be the one walking the path you believe in.
With your chart ruler Venus stationing retrograde in Leo, co-present with Mercury, another mental-focused planet, there is something about your authentic values which are changing, and undergoing a revision or a remembrance. Perhaps growing up you were taught certain values about yourself by your caretakers or family members, yet later you realized there is another pathway to go about those ingrained values - more authentically.
Allow your mind to be transformed, allow your mind to birth new words and new worlds. If you receive any spiritual insights during the New Moon phase, journaling might be a helpful practice to assist your channeling process.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
2nd House | Intimate Resource
The concept of self-resourcing might put money into the equation of everything. The lunation happens in your 2nd House of Money, Livelihood & Value. This is a great time for a spiritual reset around your value of money and tangible resources. Perhaps you are realizing that money is less important or more important for you to experience the things you wish for in life wholeheartedly. Sometimes we judge ourselves harshly for wanting and needing money, yet the deeper reasons why have always been our motivators for desiring money. This is the time to be more intimate with your relationship to self-resource, of knowing and loving what feels enough for you, what feels excess for you.
In ancient astrology, the 2nd House is called the Gate of Hades because of its initiatory relationship to the underworld houses, with transit Capricorn Pluto (God of the Underworld) in the opposite house with this lunation - there is a desire to adjust our personal resourcing process towards collaborating with the resources of another, of reaching the value of another as a support. Sometimes we feel like a sacred sacrifice is needed for us to transform ourselves - and perhaps that’s true. Because sacrifice is a pathway toward soul liberation and rich collaboration with another.
With chart ruler Mercury in Leo, there is a desire to speak your heart’s truth because speaking our truths is a luminous process that would break patterns that have been imposed on us by societal systems. If speaking your truth creates conflicts, know that healthy conflicts are needed to voice out our needs. Voicing our needs and desires is also a process of confronting our fears of being misunderstood, and feeling not enough.
The New Moon is a calibration towards enoughness, remember you are enough and perhaps this is an opportune time to initiate how enough feels in your heart, bones, and body. Allow the renewal of enoughness to move through your body and spirit.
Cancer & cancer Rising
1st House | Intimate Self
This lunation focuses on the revitalization of your life force. The Moon is at home in your 1st House of Body, Identity & Beginning-Of-All. The lunation trining Neptune in Pisces might bring about poetic dreams regarding your future travels or the next mythical stories you are about to live out as reality. Make time to be receptive and rest accordingly during this New Moon. This is absolutely the time to center yourself and your world.
The lunation opposition to Pluto in Capricorn is reminding you that soul-centered connections should and could make all parties feel powerful and empowered, rather than powerless and oppressed. The exaltation lord of Cancer sign is Jupiter, rejoicing in the fixed earth sign of Taurus - perhaps you are embodying new ways of showing up to community, and those who you would consider as allies. To realize the vastness of our hopes, we need other people who are also attuned to the bigger visions and move toward the direction we are going with them. For some of you, you are being invited to be a mentor for your community through physical or spiritual health needs.
The lunation also interrogates how much you value authentic communication between yourself and your inner-heart chambers - be bold with your intentions. With the North Node in Aries, freshly entering your 10th House, there is a desire to pioneer your next legacy - to bring originality to greater heights.
Naturally, the South Node in Libra will be in your 4th House, to release any past relationships and allow spiritually aligned relationships to support your next adventure. This is your time to lead the more aligned life you have always wanted - an opportune time to reassess all the skills you have acquired and how you implement them with care and with precision.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
12th House | Intimate Shadow
The New Moon might be more subtle for you as it is happening in your hidden 12th House of Subconscious & Suffering. An invitation is to look into how much have you had to hide your-hidden-self from certain parts of yourself because it could be coded as something shameful or undesirable. Or perhaps you are being invited to explore deeper into the spiritual realm about who you are, and who you were. There is nothing to be ashamed of being human: messy and forgiving. Our relationships with our past experiences have a way to empower us to move forward or to pacify us from moving forward.
This lunation is a reminder of the choices available to your life right now, no matter how small those choices are - small is all. With Jupiter in Taurus in your 10th House of Legacy and Public, there is a desire to be a teacher for others - to lead by faith and example of the possibilities of manifesting the world one could ever imagine. You might discover greater support for your ideas coming from creatives or institutions advocating for transformation. It takes so much inner-work for you to have faith in this new transformation - no matter how visible the outcomes are, you are committed to the gradual change.
Both Mercury and Venus in your 1st House have an effect on your relationship to self-love and communication of your heart. Like the lion you are, be loud and be proud of the things you have manifested for yourself. Maybe some of those things require a re-assessment, yet still, be proud of having to realize those things for yourself.
With Mars in Virgo in your 2nd House, you will feel energize to work on yourself towards greater heights yet remember to understand when the universe is signaling a “no.” Take time to reassess your values in life through and with Venus - she is spending a special and longer time with you with her retrograde phase!
Virgo & Virgo Rising
11th House | Intimate Community
Community is a form of care, and sometimes, everything feels better when we do it together. This New Moon occurs in your 11th House of Good Spirit, Friendships, and Allies. There is an opportunity to leverage your community towards your next soul-led creativity, where there is creative tension, there could also be an opportunity for further support and creation. You might feel that there is help coming from the people around you to support your next vision. Perhaps some of these supports come from places abroad or through the exchange of cultures with Jupiter in Taurus. Or perhaps you are learning something new and revealing about yourself from your mentors that resonates deeply with your body.
With Mars in Virgo, you might be given an extra dose of energy to make things happen right now, and you have always been one of those signs who are discerning of ways to make the transformation work more efficiently - for yourself and for others. Allow this New Moon to reveal to you the true supporters and allies in your journey.
With your chart ruler, Mercury, residing in Leo there might be a doubt that exists - a healthy amount of skepticism should remain healthy and should not be blown out of proportion. Trust that everything is working out as it should be in the background. And everything in life eventually comes to light, and sometimes those are beyond your responsibility. All we have to do is: trust the authentic process of unraveling who we are.
With Saturn in Pisces in the opposite house, you might feel you are facing an obstacle or a person who might not agree with your intentions, whether it be real or illusory - still an obstacle. Perhaps this is where we learn how a challenge has a way of teaching us something long-lasting about ourselves and the support systems we have available.
Libra & Libra Rising
10th House | Intimate Legacy
What is your highest aspiration in life? The New Moon is revealing something important for you to know and to remember for the long-term aspect of your life. Perhaps you are ruminating about your next home, perhaps you are initiating the steps toward your next career change, or perhaps you are pivoting yourself from whatever you are currently doing. This is an opportune time to think about how you want to be remembered in the long term, how you want to be known in your community, what kind of steward of the world are you, and which realm exactly. You might realize that a literal move might be required for you to be closer to your intimate visions.
With Venus stationing retrograde in Leo in your 11th House, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with friends and people who value the things you value too, or perhaps to start finding communities aligning more with your greater passions in this world. This is the time to make those connections because all relationships have a sacred way of changing who you are - especially with Jupiter in Taurus in your 8th House of Transformation. Venus in Leo transit is asking you to light the fire that has been kept hidden, and perhaps with Mercury in Leo - there would be information and messages delivered to you to make you feel more excited about the next thing!
With the fresh North Node in Aries in your 7th House, romantic and business partnerships are becoming more important to you, while you are de-centering yourself from any identity attachment. The South Node in Libra will bring about themes of dis-identification of the self, because when we allow ourselves to be an empty cup, we realize the true essence of our spirit. This is one of the pathways to being crystal clear with our desires.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
9th House | Intimate Perspective
This is a lunation of intimate perspectives. This New Moon in your 9th House of Religion, Travel, and Spirituality might bring an element of surprise into your life through your encounters with people from foreign lands or those with positions of power. Perhaps these folks are providing you with different perspectives of how things could be transformed for the betterment of your career direction. For some of you, perhaps you are planning a much-needed vacation with your loved ones. Regardless, this is the time to rely on the expertise of another to inform your own field of mastery.
The 9th House is also the place where the Sun is rejoicing because the 9th House is regarded as the House of God in ancient times - and the purpose of “god” is to illuminate. If you have been seeking clarity from divinity, this is an opportune time to make that prayer and intention-setting regardless of your belief system. Do it for fun, do it as a trial, do it to remember your power. Setting a sacred intention has a way to open up our hearts toward something bigger-than-us, it is how we communicate with the universe within and without.
With your chart ruler, Mars, moving through Virgo - the time to plan for the next bigger change is now. Mars in Virgo demands practical steps to build our version of hopes and dreams. You might also find others who are willing to be the advocate of your dreams together with you in your career space.
With Venus stationing retrograde and Mercury in Leo, your career space is bound to change direction and priorities with this lunation, and the important messages regarding them are being clarified. Potentially, there could be conflicts and crises within the lunar month, yet the purpose of Venus in your 10th House is always to harmonize different points of view and show you the truest selves of everyone who deemed themselves worthy of your support.
Allow the softness of time (patience) to be the one helping you out with your pacing, and do not allow time (Saturn) to be the one who is blocking your path.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
8th House | Intimate Rebirth
Sometimes the idea of rebirth is such a loaded word, perhaps because for some of us - dealing with certain endings has been difficult enough for us to accept, preventing us from even considering the next journey of a new beginning. The idea of rebirth forces us into believing that there is still life in death, and there is death in life - how everything is a cycle, perhaps.
The lunation is exactly a sacred space for rebirth for you. The lunation occurs in the 8th House of Grief, Rebirth, and Resources of Another. Perhaps for you, this lunation is a sacred reminder of how much you are needed in this world, and how much your thoughts and feelings matter to the people who find so much value in you.
With your chart ruler, Jupiter, residing in another astrological dark house - the 6th House of Labor and Illness, you are reckoning with your sense of importance with the work that you do for others. Your role in the lunation equation is to release yourself from any form of expectation of abundance but rather know your work holds so much value for others. This could be a wonderful time to tap into any new or existing collaborations to inform them of your sacred worth. To trust others is to trust the universe working its magic for you, rather than against you. You might feel guided to spend some time alone with this lunation, thinking about the parts of you that have died and how much the things that have died also hold a sacred and intimate treasure within them.
With Neptune in Pisces, you might be communicating with the dead ones for guidance - both the chosen and given ancestors to empower your next rebirth process. Endings have a memorable way to make space for new beginnings, a reminder to always choose life, because our stories have yet to end here.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
7th House | Intimate Arrival
The lunation occurs in the furthermost part of the chart - the 7th House of the Other - be it a personal or business relationship. How does it feel to have trust in another? To give them the support they need to create their realities with you playing an important role in those realities? If you have been single and searching, this could be an opportune time to set greater progress in partnership. If you are partnered, this could be a time to renew your commitment to each other for the relationship to flourish. For others, there could be important business or legal contracts to tend to that would transform your life direction. Regardless, know that you are not in a rush to solve whatever gifts and/or challenges life presents to you.
Saturn has been slowly threading waters in Pisces, and you have been slowly and intimately trusting the waves of your intuition and foresight. Trusting the softness and slowness of time is a difficult process sometimes, especially when others are hungry to rush the process for you. This is the time for you to tune into how it feels like to be taken care of by another person so deeply that you lose a bit of you sense of self.
The themes of love are transforming in your 8th House of Death & Rebirth. Perhaps there is a hidden desire resurfacing for you to feel authentically aligned with your sense of self. Your career space is also undergoing similar revision and transformation with this collaboration with another.
With Jupiter in Taurus, you are upgrading your skills to play and to be the teaching source of fecundity. I hope the lunation elevates your relationship with everything - especially the ones you felt most distant and unavailable to you throughout your life… I hope those things also arrive.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
6th House | Intimate Silence
The New Moon initiates you into establishing a supportive routine to support your process of intimacy with another. The 6th House of Labor, Illness, and Service is one of the astrological dark houses. It reminds us both of our power and our powerlessness in life. With the lunation taking place in the 6th House, it reminds you of your unapologetic needs when it comes to maintaining different partnerships in your life. If people at work have been draining your time and your energy, ask yourself whether you need more to feel replenished for your efforts.
With your chart ruler, Saturn in Pisces, trine by sign with the New Moon, there is a question of whether the unseen labor you are putting in would bear something fruitful. Perhaps it would be for some of you, for others, perhaps there is a need to reset your relationship with others who are extractive of your energy rather than having an equal give-and-take.
With Venus stationing retrograde in Leo soon, with Mercury co-present, there could be heartfelt communication from your loved ones that might change the direction of life. With Jupiter in Taurus in your 4th House, this is the time to allow the idea of home and privacy as something you truly value for yourself first before prioritizing others you love. Allow the spaces you love to go to in your house to teach you something deeper about yourself and your limitless worth.
The North Nodes shifting into Aries will increase your hunger to elevate your education and skills and the desire to connect better with your local environment, while the South Node in Libra will demand you to let go of certain ideas and perspectives which are no longer for you to carry about yourself. This lunation feels subtle, as it moves efficiently and quietly in the background - like new habits slowly forming and solidifying in silence.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
5th House | Intimate Playtime
For you, the process of play and care is something inherently intertwined. The New Moon occurs in the 5th House of Erotic, Play & Romance. I believe this lunation brings about your desire to teach others about how to play more with their creativity.
With chart ruler Jupiter in Taurus in the 3rd House of Skills, interacting with the lunation in the 5th House of Play - you are being asked to pave the way for a fertile future for others who would love you as their teacher or facilitator. Perhaps part of your magick is to allow others to unearth the potency of their own magic and creativity. On the other hand, this lunation could also remind you of your own creative breakthrough that you desire to make space for the future. Making space for your creativity in life has always been a central priority to tap deeper into your emotions and intuition.
With Mars in Virgo, you could be dealing with others who are eager to move forward efficiently, meanwhile, you would rather take your time trusting cosmic time. As Venus is stationing retrograde in your 6th House of Labor and Illness, it is always wise for you to take it slow and have mastery over your rhythms. Even if an inspiration comes, know that if such inspiration is important enough it would stay and it would come to visit again and again.
You are not at a loss when you wait and reassess your ways of serving the world - you are actually winning by waiting because there is always something better on the horizon. Especially since the fresh North Node in Aries is aligning with your 2nd House of Money & Resources - there will always be more to acquire and manifest through this transit. This lunation pulls focus towards how you play with your world, and how the intimate elements of the erotic make you feel alive and resourced.

Capricorn Full Moon Miniscopes
Capricorn Full
Moon Miniscopes
Nourishing Structures.
Forward written by Anthony Perrotta, horoscopes written by Aubrey Houdeshell.
The Full Moon is in Capricorn 11º on July 3rd at 7:38 AM ET. We now enter a Full Moon phase, where we begin to create foundations and structures from that New Moon. This is specifically true as the Moon becomes full to the brim in Capricorn. We are asked to confront our own personal barriers, walls, and fortresses.
Saturn is the leader of this Full Moon, where it redefines, restructures, and rebuilds all that has come into focus over the last few weeks. We know that path isn’t always easy, but through hard work comes reward –– every time. Saturn isn’t just about obstacles, but also the pinnacle. We have ascended the mountain and made it to the peak, but we have a different perspective on life from up here. So, to rest peacefully on top of that mountain, we must be willing to let some things go. Saturn sextiles Jupiter, making that summit easier to get to. At this Full Moon, we are invited to see how expansion is found outside of the boundaries set before us. This is a commitment to our growth, our fullness, and to those new perspectives.
Actually, this Full Moon comes with ease all the way around. The Sun and Moon both harmoniously link to Jupiter and Saturn. There is a general feeling of homeostasis, as these planets rejoice with one another. Jupiter will add some extra auspicious energy around this time – pointing to where we can feel assured and proud of ourselves. On top of this, the Moon/Saturn trine is quite stabilizing. Allowing us to effectively be in our emotions – claiming and naming every feeling that may arise.
Mercury has just come into alignment with the Sun, and our thoughts are not only meant to be shared – but also to bring full awareness to our desires. To enhance this energy, Venus and Mars are tightly conjunct. We may be asked to be more visible, witnessed, or seen. People are listening, so what are you saying? Mercury’s importance at this lunation teaches us the value of reciprocity and the power we find in our exchanges with those around us. We are told to remain flexible. But how can we find flexibility under a Capricorn lunation?
Perhaps rigidity isn’t permanent, as structures become more malleable than we once thought. We model and mold new pieces out of the clay of our minds from our own hands. Over time, it will harden, but just a little water can bring it back to a working state. This is the significance of the Cancer/Capricorn axis. Nothing is truly as immovable as we sometimes think. With a little nourishment, we can allow ourselves to let go of the “permanent” structures that don’t suit us anymore, making room for new, flexible structures in their place.
It is time to douse and rework the clay in our lives, so we can mold what we need out of what we have.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 6º to 16º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
NOTE: The horoscopes below were written by the amazing, Aubrey Houdeshell of the Graveyard Roses! Included with these horoscopes is a recording about the Full Moon between myself and Aubrey. See below!
This recording about the Capricorn Full Moon explores the astrology and themes behind this lunation, as well as upcoming transits and energies! As you have space, please feel free to give this a listen.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
10th House | Pinnacle
This Full Moon brings some light to your 10th house of reputation, career, and legacy, Aries, turning your attention to whatever you feel is your calling in this life. Pluto has spent the past fifteen years transiting the highest point in your chart, bringing incredible change and transformation to the ways people know you and the work you find fulfilling. Now, as you wrap up this huge cycle in your life, the Full Moon asks you what's left to be shed in order to truly find fulfillment and satisfaction in this arena.
With the Sun hanging out down in your 4th house with Mercury, who is making a tense square to Chiron in your first house, questions surrounding your self-worth as it relates to your career are likely to surface, as well as the need for a greater work/life balance. You are extremely ambitious, it's true, but where else in your life do you have goals besides work? Remember that your worth isn't defined by the job you have or the money you make. You're more than enough just as you are.
Venus has settled into your 5th house of joy and self-expression, where she will hangout until mid-October, further emphasizing the theme of identity for you. Do you feel empowered by the version of yourself that you're choosing to share with the world? Venus asks you to reassess how you're expressing yourself and whether or not you're truly showing your unique qualities to shine. Uranus reaches out via a square from your 2nd house of resources and self-worth to further expand the value you ascribe to yourself. However, Jupiter also plays a harmonious role in this house, helping to reward you for finding greater self-esteem. Remember that being bold about who you are is your superpower.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
9th House | Horizons
The Full Moon in Capricorn is hanging out in your 9th house, Taurus, shining a spotlight on things like education, spirituality, and the big picture perspective. After a long period of reassessment and transformation thanks to Pluto’s extended time in this house, the Full Moon shows up to ask you what you believe in now, and how it aligns with the big picture of your life. There may be a need to shed limiting beliefs, or at least outdated ones, that no longer align with everything you desire to achieve now. This lunation reminds you that change is inevitable, and so is growth, and asks you to make more room in your life for both.
Alternatively, the Sun and Mercury reach out from your third house, simulating the mind and inspiring your need to communicate what you know and feel. It's possible that school or some new form of education is on the docket. If so, this would be an excellent time to get the ball rolling. If nothing else, you may find your desire to connect with those around you quite strong underneath this lunation.
Uranus has been moving through your first house for the past while now, shaking up your sense of self, and perhaps even bringing out a side of you that's vastly different than normal. Venus, your ruler, who is currently transiting your 4th house, reaches out to Uranus now, perhaps creating some push and pull between your desire to share yourself with the world and your desire for privacy. Let Venus soften the edges of Uranus and find a way to honor all versions of yourself and their varying needs.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
8th House | Shadows
The Full Moon illuminates your 8th house, Gemini, bringing light to the deep caverns of the most intimate areas of your life. The themes of the 8th house include sex, death, shared resources, and the cycles of transformation. The Sun highlights your own resources from the 2nd house, highlighting the ways in which your money is tied up with others, as well as the way you share resources in your partnerships. If you live with someone, for example, this is a quintessential theme of the 8th house. In that sense, you may receive some kind of reward from others, but you may also find yourself taking a look at whether or not the dynamics of sharing are still working for you. Remember that Full Moons act as points of release - perhaps there’s a dynamic or relationship that needs to change now.
Chiron makes a difficult aspect to the luminaries from your 11th house of your social circles, which may further serve to bring up some sticking points in your relationships. As the sign of the Twins you embody duality and the idea of the self vs the other more than any other sign in the zodiac. Just because you are understanding and can see everyone else’s point of view, doesn’t mean that others are showing you that same energy. Make a point to connect with those who give back as much as they take.
Your ruler, Mercury, plays a helpful role for you underneath this lunation as it, too, is wrapped up in the dynamic of Chiron. Sharing your feelings with those who truly value you and can help to reflect your worth back to you is important now. Jupiter and Uranus reach out from your 12th house to help you reveal or work through the parts of yourself you normally keep hidden.
Cancer & cancer Rising
7th House | Duality
This lunation falls into your 7th house of committed partnerships, Cancer, highlighting the relationship axis in a big way. Thanks to Pluto transiting this house for the past fifteen years, you're no stranger to relationships being an important focus in your life. Over the past decade and a half Pluto has unearthed anything and everything you've needed to address in order to find truly fulfilling connections and healthy relationships. Now the Full Moon in Capricorn comes through to illuminate whatever final lessons or patterns need to be fully integrated - or what still needs to be shed - in order to have the kinds of relationships you truly desire. With the Sun currently highlighting your 1st house, finding balance in your connections is super important.
Uranus echoes this sentiment from your 11th house of your social circles, where it's been bringing significant change for the past few years. Undoubtedly, your relationships have undergone massive change, and there's a need to reassess boundaries and your definition of a healthy relationship here. With Venus creating tension from your 2nd house, self-worth is a huge factor here. Remember that you, too, are deserving of nurture and care from others.
Chiron in Aries also creates a tough aspect to the Sun and Moon from your 10th house of reputation and legacy, bringing forward a pain point of vulnerability surrounding how others perceive you. This, too, is something that's been highlighted in your life for the past while, and further emphasizes Venus' desire to boost your self-esteem and feel good about yourself. Lean into the connections you share with others who give just as much as you do. This is your moment to receive.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
6th House | Nourishment
The Full Moon pays a visit to your 6th house, Leo, shining light on your daily routines, rituals, and physical health. This has been an area of great focus in your life for the past fifteen years as Pluto has moved through this area of your chart bringing significant change. Now, as you move through the final moments of this journey, the Full Moon in Capricorn shows up to highlight any structures that still need to be implemented, as well as any daily habits that still hold you back from living your life the way you really want to.
Across the way, Venus is transiting your 1st house, giving you a boost of beauty and magnetism, while also asking you to confront any self-esteem issues that may be lurking underneath the surface. With Uranus creating a tense aspect from your 10th house of legacy, there's a real need to look at the ways you're playing small. Don't be afraid to do what Leo does best: shine.
Your ruler, the Sun, is hanging out alongside Mercury in your 12th house, highlighting your intuition, dreams, and most private pieces of yourself. There's a strong need to nurture both your physical body, and your emotional one. Pour into yourself underneath this Full Moon so that you can better offer your gifts to the rest of us.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
5th House | Expression
This lunation is highlighting your 5th house of creativity, self-expression, and fun my dear Virgo! As serious of a creature as you may be, the Full Moon in Capricorn illuminates the need for you to let loose and enjoy yourself right now. The 5th house asks us to step into the present moment and find self-fulfillment and satisfaction. What would truly make you feel good right now? Create more of that. Alternatively, what BLOCKS you from experiencing joy? Get rid of that.
Uranus, who has been transiting your 9th house for about four years, asks the same questions. You've been undergoing a huge shift in your perspective and part of that shift is allowing yourself to welcome adventure and fun and to loosen up a little bit. With the Sun and Mercury hanging out in your 11th house of friendship, this lunation is one to get social with your favorite people.
Venus reaches out to Uranus from your 12th house where she may struggle to be seen or felt. You'll have to work extra hard to unearth the Leonine creativity and flair and allow this part of yourself to be seen more by others. This is your invitation to put down the inner critic and give the special parts of you a chance to shine.
Libra & Libra Rising
4th House | Preservation
The Full Moon in Capricorn pays a visit to your 4th house, Libra, illuminating things like family, ancestors, roots, and your foundations. You've spent the past fifteen years on a journey with Pluto here, unraveling all kinds of tough family dynamics. Now, the Full Moon comes in to highlight any loose ends that still need to be addressed and, ultimately, released, so that you can move forward in a happier, more balanced way. Perhaps there are some boundaries that need to be fortified, or maybe there's just a strong need for rest underneath this lunation, as the Moon transiting the 4th house often calls for.
Chiron plays an important role from your 7th house this go around, as it reaches out to both the Sun, highlighting your 10th house of reputation, and the Moon. You may find yourself feeling overexposed or tender when it comes to relationships in general. Validation may feel difficult to find. Do your best to stand strong in your own self-worth and reach out to your very dearest ones who you can confide in.
Meanwhile, Venus is hanging out in your 11th house of your social circles, reinforcing the need to look at which connections of yours are still fulfilling. You may not feel as social as you normally do underneath this lunation, and that's okay. The call here is truly to focus on the relationships you know are good ones. Cultivate your inner circle of trust.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
3rd House | Integration
Underneath this Full Moon your 3rd house is lit up, bringing a focus to communication, learning, and the environment around you. With the Sun and Mercury highlighting your 9th house as well, there’s a strong need to look at the beliefs you hold about yourself. What stories have you been told about yourself that you’ve internalized along the way? Which of these stories are true, and which are you being called to shed now? Remember that others often feel threatened by your power, Scorpio, don’t let anybody else define you except you.
Uranus and Venus come forward underneath this lunation creating tension on the business partnership front. Venus is settled into your 10th house of career until mid-October, and Uranus has been transiting your 7th house of partnerships for the past four-ish years. There may be some kind of issue to resolve here, as Venus asks you to confront whether or not you’re being appreciated for all of the gifts you possess and bring into the work you do. This tension may also manifest as a push and pull between your career and your intimate partnerships. Don’t be afraid to assert your boundaries in either or both places.
Chiron also reaches out from your 6th house, further pushing that pain point at the job. Again, feelings of worthiness may come forward. Perhaps it’s time to assess whether or not you’re truly happy with work. In the meantime, know that your worth exists whether or not other people seem to see it.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
2nd House | Stability
The Full Moon illuminates your 2nd house of resources and self-worth, Sagittarius, reminding you of all you have and all you're capable of. This house has been a huge theme in your life for the past fifteen years, with Pluto stirring up all kinds of change here. This lunation illuminates whatever blocks you may still be working through that keep you blind to your own capabilities, and asks for you to do what is necessary to let them go once and for all. Self-esteem can be a fickle thing, and you may need to address how your sense of worth is tied up in the money you make.
By this time Venus has settled in for the long haul from your 9th house, asking you what you truly believe in, especially when it comes to relationships. With a tense aspect coming from your 6th house of your everyday life coming from Uranus, there's some kind of push and pull between the way you're living your life in the day to day, and the way you'd ideally LIKE to be living your life. Do your actions match up with these ideals? If not, there's a call to make sure you're walking the walk and not just talking the talk.
Meanwhile, Chiron reaches out from your 5th house of joy and creativity, asking about the ways you're expressing yourself these days. You may find yourself feeling overexposed and uncharacteristically vulnerable. Be kind to yourself and remember that you are inherently worthy. Regardless of others. Regardless of money. Regardless of anything.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
1st House | Motivation
This Full Moon falls into your 1st house, illuminating your identity and sense of self, Capricorn. For the past fifteen years Pluto has also been moving through your first house, bringing incredible transformation to who you are and how you choose to share yourself with the world. As you are now in the final moments of this transit, this Full Moon acts as a punctuation mark on that journey. Which parts of yourself have you outgrown that you're ready to release once and for all? This is your invitation to step more fully into who you are now; to take up more space in your life and your relationships.
Mercury and the Sun are also illuminating your 7th house of committed partnerships. With a tense aspect from Chiron down in your 4th house, feelings of self-worth, especially surrounding your most intimate connections, may surface. If you're struggling to feel good about yourself, now is the time to lean into the relationships with those you know DO value you, and support every version of who you are, including the one you're becoming. Share your thoughts and feelings.
The luminaries are also receiving support from Jupiter at this time, who is currently transiting your 5th house of creativity and self-expression. This house is truly about self-satisfaction and joy. Utilize this expansive energy to bring levity through allowing yourself to have some fun! There are gifts for you to reap when you allow yourself to lighten up and have some fun. Children may be a wonderful mirror for you in this way.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
12th House | Restoration
The Full Moon falls into your 12th house, Aquarius, illuminating the caverns of your subconscious that normally stay in the dark. As the only house in the birth chart that never sees the light of day from the Sun, the things we keep buried in the 12th house can feel difficult to engage with or understand, but this lunation offers you a rare gift of shining its light here, asking you to acknowledge the parts of yourself that are normally kept hidden. This is a good time for you to lean into your intuition - something that may often be neglected in lieu of objectivity - to better understand these pieces of your life.
Venus is leaning deeper into her extended stay in your 7th house of committed relationships, now in her pre-retrograde shadow period. Underneath this lunation she forms a tense square to Uranus in Taurus, who has been transiting the lowest point of your chart in the 4th house for almost four years. There may be unexpected events that arise underneath this Moon surrounding family and/or any of your closest connections. However, with Mercury making a supportive sextile to Uranus, there are solutions to be found through conversation.
Keep in mind that Venus will be transiting your 7th house until mid-October. Between that and the Sun and Moon squaring Chiron in Aries, questions surrounding self-worth may feel especially pointed at this time. With the Full Moon in your 12th, perhaps there are certain things you've felt for a long time that you feel pushed to speak up about now.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
11th House | Community
This lunation is shining bright in your 11th house of your social circles, highlighting different relationships of all kinds for you, Pisces. As we approach the end of Pluto's decade and a half long transit here, the Full Moon asks for some kind of release. What have you learned about your various relationships over the past fifteen years? Who is truly there for you? Are there any relationships or certain groups of people that you know aren't serving you anymore? As difficult as it may be for you, as someone who approaches everyone with understanding, it may be time to let some of those connections go. Or, at the very least, perhaps there are stronger boundaries that need to be implemented.
Venus echoes this sentiment from your 6th house, as she asks about your sense of self-worth and whether or not you're truly appreciated by the people you choose to surround yourself with in your everyday life. You may feel this coming up at your job in particular at this time, as Venus asks you to assess how much of your sense of self-worth is tied up in those dynamics. Uranus also plays an important role underneath this Full Moon as it squares Venus, asking whether or not you're speaking your truth to others.
Jupiter, your ruler, gets a nice boost from the Sun and Moon at this time, however. Reinforcing the fact that when you're able to share your knowledge, you will be rewarded. Lean into the connections you know are right! Spend time hanging out with friends and asking for the support and reassurance you truly need right now.

Creating Clarity.
The New Moon is in Gemini 26º on June 18th at 12:37 AM ET. With a gust of wind, the doors are swung open wide —waiting for you to walk through. This is exactly what the New Moon in Gemini is inviting in. This New Moon is one where we seek clarity of mind and space. The Gemini energy surrounding this lunation shows us that words hold power, and with that, we can speak our realities into existence. Like the Magician, we create our futures by integrating and amalgamating into our lives everything we have learned up to this moment. We float on the exhale of every word and wrap ourselves around our ideas, nurturing them as they take flight. Altogether, we rise higher and higher while maintaining control of our path.
Mercury is the leader of this New Moon, emphasizing the need to communicate, express, and speak: we can change everything with a single word. Mercury is active through its transits, empowered by Venus and Mars but restrained by Saturn. We may lack the conviction to speak openly with confidence, so we remain spinning our wheels. However, Mars invites us to open up, and Venus will ensure we find the right words.
With this said, the Sun and Moon do square Neptune, creating a fog. We are walking, what feels like aimlessly, with one hand outstretched to feel what’s right in front of us. Yet, we get flashes of insight, pulling us to move beyond Neptune's foggy realm. Really, once we clear the air, we can see that there are no obstacles ahead of us.
Mars is empowered by Venus, bringing the cosmic lovers closer together. Desire and passion align, yet, we still need to rework, reassess, and realize. Jupiter and Saturn sextile, ensuring we don’t get too ahead of ourselves. With so much Mutable energy at this lunation, we have to lean into the Gemini nature of flexibility and adaptability. We can be where we are needed instead of forcing ourselves where we don’t belong.
If you feel overwhelmed, take a minute to breathe and feel yourself lifting up as the air fills your lungs. Just don’t lose sight of the ground.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 23º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
3rd House | Integration
This New Moon will fall in your 3rd House, asking you to use your voice and speak up. This is about walking away from overthinking. You deserve to say what is on your mind as much as anyone else.
The New Moon in Gemini falls in your 3rd House, where we learn, adapt and integrate. This is the House of communication — a time to know that your voice holds value. Over the last few weeks, you have been taking stock of what you have, own, and share. Now, you are asked to start putting things to the test. In this space, we share, talk and create dialogue. Your mind could be full of racing thoughts. Important conversations can be had and ideas can be exchanged. Generally, 3rd House transits are a busy time when people are trying to get ahold of you. Your phone and email will be going off and you seem to be on the minds of others. Alternatively, you could be extra chatty now, too.
Mercury leads this New Moon in its domicile position. It works well with Venus as they meet in an exact sextile. This usually stimulates enjoyable conversations for you, especially as your 3rd and 5th House are activated. You may be exploring a new passion or hobby, finding new ways to express yourself, or deepening your relationship with your inner child (or just children in general). This transit is also excellent for self-expression and creative insights. You may find yourself generally feeling in a more upbeat mood.
However, Neptune is laying its thick fog though around this lunation. It tightly squares the Sun and Moon from your 12th House. You could find that although you are wanting to chat, be social or creative, you are actually feeling a bit sleepy or low energy. Neptune can create an illusion or may cast a light that is hard to see in/through. So maybe things aren’t as clear as you’d like them to be. This square requires you to surrender more into that softness and let go of what you can’t control. If you are feeling like you need some rest, then lean into that. Try not to push. Do whatever helps you recharge.
Use this New Moon to find power in your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any anxiety you may be holding or taking on. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
2nd House | Worthiness
Taurus, now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This New Moon is perfectly placed in your 2nd House! This will have your mind on income, self-worth, and value. You can work to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This lunation in your 2nd House, which rules finances, resources, valuation and worth. Some of you may be undergoing changes to your financial picture, even changes that you may not fully see yet. There could be increases to what you earn, new job opportunities, or even ways to obtain additional resources that you had not seen as available. Alternatively, you could be thinking of walking away from a “stable” resource in favor of using your own talents or pursuing something entirely new. So, this is about giving you space to take the next steps. Watch your spending now and find ways to save. If this New Moon is not financially related, then pay attention to how you see yourself, what you believe in, and what you stand for. You may be tasked with releasing outdated mentalities around your ideas of tradition, security, and worth. Your emotional resources are just as important as your financial.
Mercury and Venus are in a great position to ensure you know that “money talks”. You can find out positive financial news around this time. Alternatively, you may see that you are valuing your privacy a bit more or willing to communicate your worth. This particular sextile Mercury and Venus meet in is splendid for easeful ventures and creating some domestic bliss in your life.
As easy as the Mercury/Venus aspect is, Neptune is creating a bit of confusion. Don’t take the bait. Neptune is square the Sun and Moon, and it is casting a thick fog. You could be doubting yourself or feeling like support isn’t there when it is. This energy asks that you be a bit more realistic and take a step back as to not get caught up in nebulous energy of Neptune. Additionally, Neptune can have you feeling sort of day-dreamy. In this case, it is ok to let your heart or mind wander for a bit — so long as you remember to come back home. Don’t over-idealize things, but a little escapism doesn’t hurt when you need it.
Use this New Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy — and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. Get your finances in order. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth, and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value. You are worthy.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
1st House | Being
Gemini, there is a New Moon in your sign! This is important and points to the Full Moon we experienced in your sign late last year. Think back to what culminated around December 7th and how you are starting fresh now.
The New Moon is in your sign, where your 1st House is being highlighted. Now is a time to focus on your desires, motivations, and wants. What are you passionate about? Where do you feel your most true self? How can you embrace the new identity that has blossomed over the last year or so? Change is not always easy, even for an adaptable sign like you. So, give yourself space to grieve parts of you that you have let go but also remember to embrace the new you that stands here today. The New Moon does ask that you see the value in all that you have done, a point of reflection. There may be further release, but you are more ready than you ever have been. There can be a sense of “finalizing” and “separating” that comes this lunation, as well. But there is also a sense of empowerment from this New Moon. It is time to take control of your narrative and alter the story you tell about yourself to both you and others.
Mercury leads this New Moon and works beautifully with Venus. It brings a general ease and softness to the energy of this lunation. You could feel that you are finding the right words to express how you feel. If you need to have an important conversation, Venus will support you. Additionally, this energy promotes creative ideas and new ways of expressing yourself/your identity. The narrative is all yours!
The one downside to this lunation is the square to Neptune. Neptune will be creating a heavy cloud-cover over everyone. It will be hard to see things clearly — especially when it comes to distinguishing your desires or motivations. Perhaps you are afraid to make the wrong move or that you are being misunderstood. Give it a few days, as this fog won’t last forever. Neptune may also have you glamorizing or idealizing situations more than normal. Try to see things with a more realistic viewpoint or really deepen your attention to your intuition — what are you really being told?
Use this New Moon to focus on what you want out of life. See what brings your joy, passion, and happiness. Seek out desires and don’t be afraid to make your needs known. Work on creating more balance in your life and enact your boundaries. It is important. Instead of carrying the burdens, seek help. You have to release what no longer serves you now — whether that be a person, idea, or something else. You are in the spotlight.
Cancer & cancer Rising
12th House | Intuition
A call to quiet. You are itching for peace and a slower pace now. You have been working so hard the last few weeks. A demanding schedule for you, or anyone, can be taxing. However, this New Moon invites you to find more serenity in your life. Sometimes, peace is created, not found.
Your 12th House is being highlighted, a place of quiet and rest. You may feel you need to slow down or like you need some time away. Listen to your body. New Moons signal a new beginning, but you may be asked to close a door or let something go, as well. This isn’t always easy for you, but you know it will be better off if you do. This is also about service, but not always to another person. It can be to yourself, your body, your heart, mind, or soul. You need not always sacrifice to care for yourself. Right now, you should take time to comb through what you can let go of — so that you don’t take that energy with you into the next phase. That means time to process your emotions. This New Moon will highlight where you could use more balance, rest, and realignment.
Mercury rules this New Moon and is so beautifully oriented to Venus in your 2nd House. You could receive some great financial news around this time or pay off a pending debt. If you work for yourself, this transit will support flexible, but easeful work/clients. Regardless, you will be asked to lean into your natural talents. Venus is enlightening your self-worth and what you value, Mercury will help you let go of what doesn’t support those values any longer. Such a beautiful and supportive aspect to this lunation!
Of course, not all that glitters is gold. Neptune will square the Sun and Moon, shrouding us in a Neptunian fog. We may have some difficulty seeing things clearly around this time. For you, it may be that you know what you need to do but are unsure how to go about it or even having fear to act at all. Neptune will require you to trust — trust yourself, your intuition, your sense of belief. Sometimes, we need have faith in ourselves and not remain where we are comfortable or stagnant.
Use this New Moon to really bring yourself in. Take time to reflect, rest, and create your own peace. Don’t let anyone or anything take that away from you. Focus on what you can receive and what you can release. This lunation is potent for you — finally closing a door, even if it isn’t easy. Some decisions aren’t to be made lightly, but you know in your heart what the outcomes will be. Take care of yourself.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
11th House | Cohesion
The future can feel so far away, but we forget that it is unfolding even in this present moment. One thing to remember though – you are not alone in all that you have, and all that you do.
This New Moon comes to light up your 11th House and remind you of the people you have in your corner. You are really seeking some connection with those you consider to be your friends or even in your community. You may even be readjusting what your community is made of. You are in a period of growth, but it hasn’t been easy. This House also rules your hopes and dreams. You may be changing and shifting your outlook on your future self — learning how to better seek support to make dreams a reality. You asking for help or leaning on others doesn’t make you weak. It is a reminder that you can be filled and nourished by others, as much you may nourish them.
Mercury rules this New Moon and sits in a perfect position to Venus in your sign. This creating a magnetism and an abundant energy around you. You could feel like you are making bigger headway or that things are starting to come to fruition after all of your hard work. You may be seeking some social time and wanting to connect more with people you enjoy. This aspect will ensure that you can carve that time out! Venus will gift you the opportunity to update or change something in regard to how you see yourself — not only will you feel great, but this change can/will be generously delivered.
Neptune does cause a bit of a hiccup at this New Moon, however. It squares the Sun and Moon, creating a nebulous energy. You may be unsure of the motives of some people around you or like you are lacking clarity in regard to a financial situation. In some ways, you may feel like something is being dangled in front of your face but with no intention of being given. Try not to get caught up in the confusion. One of the gifts of this transit is to see the bigger picture and trust how we feel. It may benefit you to reduce expectation and pressure for now. It is ok to leave some things open without needing a final answer.
Use this New Moon to call upon your friends and community. Seek help and ask for it when you need it. People will show up for you. Don’t falter in the face of fear or allow anyone to undermine you. Take control of your future and go in the direction of your dreams. Focus on what really matters to you. You create the outcome.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
10th House | Publicity
You are one who isn’t afraid of hard work, but maybe there is a release around this notion. Why do we have to work so hard for the reward? Can things be easy and still satisfying for you? This New moon sits at the top of your chart. You are getting noticed in more ways than you know – but you may be seeing areas that need your attention, too.
The New Moon falls in your 10th House. A position that sits at the top of your chart. The Moon will be beaming a light here, having you focus your attention on your career, life direction, and practical goals. You know that you want to do something different in this area of your life. Is it a new job? A promotion? A complete 180º? Whatever it is, the lunation will bring it to the forefront of your mind. Some of you may move up, while some may quit, or lose a job. Others may feel a general pressure at work, and it can be the catalyst for something new coming later on. Now is time to see where you can lean into more work/life balance. In general, you are reaching a sort of pinnacle for yourself.
Mercury leads this New Moon and positively touches on Venus in Leo. You may find yourself wanting to rest a bit and rightfully so! Perhaps a vacation is in order (or soon maybe around the Full Moon in Capricorn in early July). Venus is helping you come to terms with some of the personal success you may have received lately or with how you are valuing the work you are doing. Venus may also bring with it some recognition for your hard work, even if it sits in the sign behind yours. Something bigger could be culminating for you, even if you can’t see it yet.
Neptune is opposite your sign and squares this lunation. This has you enveloped in a thick cloud. There is a lack of clear visibility; perhaps you need to adjust your perspective. You may not be seeing someone clearly in your life. Perhaps a relationship is getting overly romanticized or you may feel that something is just “off”. Try to listen to your gut here. Approach that uncertainty with your intuition (not your anxiety). Give it some time, too. Clearsightedness will come in just a few days after this New Moon. Don’t rush decisions or commitments, especially if you don’t have all of the information in front of you.
Use this New Moon to build a bridge for yourself. Focus on your next steps and your direction in life. Allow yourself to shine at work regardless of what others may say. If a job isn’t a good fit, then start looking around for something else. Work with your roots and nourish your foundations. Get intimate with your partner and dismantle any tensions that may arise. Create boundaries with anyone that tries to overstep. This is a pivotal New Moon for you. Really give yourself space to go after what you want.
Libra & Libra Rising
9th House | Boundless
This is not a time to compromise what makes you feel alive. You have worked hard to give yourself more freedom. Now you are asked to rewrite the narratives you had once written in your head. The perception of what is possible may be limited by what you are seeing, and not fully enveloped in what you are believing.
This New Moon will teach you the value of growth. But growth isn’t always simple. Your 9th House will be shining bright, and this turns your focus to finding new pathways and reaching goals. You may be seeking new adventures and itching to see what lies just beyond the horizon for you. In some ways, you know that change is coming. You can use this New Moon to also bring your attention to the skills you have gained and the new ones you will, or plan to learn. This is about applying your wisdom. If you are looking to go back to school, this lunation could bring opportunity. If you are simply trying to just expand your horizons in life and branch out, there is space for that, too! Really, the sky is sort of the limit for you — but it requires trust in yourself first. Travel is also often associated with this area of your chart!
Mercury is the leader of this lunation, and at this lunation, it works with your ruler, Venus, well. It has you seeking and finding comfort in your community, friendships, and network around you. This is an incredible social aspect for you in particular. You may find that you are quite busy. Additionally, this is a wonderful time of support. People may be wanting to show up and enjoy time with you or help you when you need it most. Lean into the communal aspect of this transit.
Neptune will throw a bit of a wrench into things, however. There may be a lack of clarity around this time or some sort of mix-up going on at work. You may have a misunderstanding or feel like there is little direction given to you. Alternatively, you may find your energy to be a bit lower like you have been going too fast/too far at a certain pace and there is a need to slow down. Know that this is temporary. Listen to your body. Positively speaking, this Neptune square will provide a good amount of creativity and heightened vision!
Use this New Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull to act immediately, give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
8th House | Healing
You are in a space of introspection, in a way – but this is not a problem for you. You seem to be transforming and looking to re-emerge in the coming weeks. But right now does not quite feel like the time. You are quiet and swimming through the waters of your own depth. What was once shadowed is now illuminated.
As the Moon reaches a new cycle, it will sit in your 8th House. You are processing the eclipses right now. This is an area of your chart that rarely sees the light of day. Here, the focus is on all you share intimately with others — your resources, your emotional nature, your fears, and your healing. There is a call to get deep and reflect on your path up until this point. The 8th House points to cycles. Your resources will be in question or come to mind — in a material sense and otherwise. You could receive unexpected sums of money, have larger debts to pay, or even just start to reframe your financial picture. You are asked to share more deeply with those you trust and open up, especially when you find yourself in a place of fear and uncertainty.
Mercury leads this New Moon and works well with Venus in Leo. You will be receiving some positive work-related news! There is a likelihood that you could get a bonus, recognition, or a project that you really wanted. Additionally, this energy supports smooth relations with those in “powerful” positions and brings a good amount of visibility to you. You could be working on something that supports your long-term goals or that contributes to your own personal legacy, as well. Whatever it is, there is an ease and enjoyment here. Lean into this!
Neptune is creating a bit of confusion at this lunation, perhaps turning your attention to how you show up. That although you are being seen in a good light, you may be feeling a little less confident than normal. Alternatively, you could be seeking out some pleasurable experiences or creative outlets but not necessarily finding what you are looking for. This aspect wants you to let up a little. Inspiration will find you in the most unlikely of ways! Remain open to new experiences.
Use this New Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to support you more deeply. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
7th House | Reflections
There have been major shifts in your autonomy and identity — as well as your relationships and your boundaries. We end the season on a lunation that lights up your relationships and the others in your life. This is aptly timed since we just had a Full Moon in your sign a few weeks prior.
Life is about a give and take, oftentimes we may give more than we receive. This can create an imbalance, whether or not you realize it. So, take a minute and really reflect on the word “receptivity.” What does this mean to you? The New Moon brings awareness and light to your 7th House. Here, a partnership, relationship, union, or important person is coming into strong focus. Now consider, for some of you, this is more business related than personal. You may be reckoning your boundaries and your space with this other person or entity. Have you been giving too much? Are things off-kilter? What needs to be addressed? This New Moon puts so much emphasis on others that you may need to step outside of yourself to see what is really happening. Perspective is going to be important. Some of you may start an entirely new cycle and commit to someone or something more intently in your life.
Mercury is the ruler of this lunation and sextiles Venus in Leo. This is quite positive for you as these two are bringing some ease to your relationships, as well as showing you new adventures and experiences. There is a sense that you are about to embark on a new sort of journey overall. Venus in Leo will show you the immense amount of potential that this journey may hold — and over the next four months, it will bring some awareness to the value of said journey. Dialogue and a new perspective will be imperative! Allow yourself to receive as well.
Neptune is sitting in your 4th House, creating a bit of a dreamlike state in your home life. You could be on cloud nine with something going on in this area of your life OR you could be entirely out of the loop and a little confused. Neptune acts like a fog machine. So we are not seeing things as clearly as we should. We may not realize that things are not as fluid as they may seem. Additionally, this energy may have you really seeking some privacy and alone time. There’s some immense healing in this transit that can be extremely supportive. If things feel off, give it a few days — the fog will lift.
Use this New Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamic and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
6th House | Necessities
Knowing your limits can be important. Over the last few weeks, you have been tasked with taking a look at you vs the collective. In many ways, you have been taught the value of who you are and who you connect with.
The New Moon will be in your 6th House, where your health, daily routines, and even work will come into play. You are being faced with ways to reschedule your life and create better rituals and regimens. If you have been dealing with health issues, this is not a time to sweep that under the rug. You will have to face the facts and get the answers you need. Some of you could be trying to get healthier or just find the balance between work and life. You will be busier than normal around this lunation, so care for yourself. If people try to overstep your boundaries, you have the power to let them know. Your workplace will likely be going through changes — try not to internalize it or bite off more than you can chew around it. If you work for yourself, consider how much you can realistically take on right now.
Mercury leads this lunation and works well with Venus in Leo. This energy promotes some good financial news for you. Perhaps you may receive some sort of financial support from an outside source. Alternatively, this could also bring about a beneficial project or a willingness to rewrite your routine. Venus is helping you focus on your debts, too. So if you have been wanting to tackle your debt, know the next 4 months will grant you the right situation to do so. Lastly, this transit is excellent for transformations and integrations of change you have been experiencing in the last few months or years. You have to see how far you have come!
Neptune will be creating a bit of fog around this New Moon. It sits in your 3rd House, so misunderstandings or lack of communication are likely. Perhaps you are not being as clear as you think you are or maybe you need to ask for some clarity in general. This transit can be incredibly cleansing though — so it may be helpful for you to literally “clear the air”. Watch for people saying one thing and doing another. Neptune may also cloud motivations. This may not be intentional but just basic oversight.
Use this New Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement a better way to be of service to your needs first.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
5th House | Playfulness
We know that change is inevitable. It comes with sweeping gestures that push us in one direction or another. To see the power of change as a potential new beginning shifts our mindset. For you, this is about the shifts in your own perception of your happiness and reinstating more confidence in your life. You need to see how truly valuable you are. You create all you desire.
We see the New Moon shine a light on your 5th House, a place of creativity, conception, expression, love, and children. This is an area of joy and pleasure. So, what makes you happy? You could be reflecting on how to bring more fun into your life and opening yourself up to new adventures. You feel ready now. However, this means repairing the relationship you have with your self-image. Why shy away from the spotlight? You deserve space as much as anyone else. To allow yourself to be seen is to be proud of who you are. Don’t hide for the sake of someone else’s perceptions. If you are looking to conceive an idea, a project, a child, or a relationship, let this New Moon help you. It takes a level of risk to make it happen, but what do you have to lose? You are becoming more aware of your ability to manifest your desires into reality.
Mercury leads this lunation and will be helping this energy along as it reaches out to Venus in Leo. Creative collaborations are likely! It seems that you may be inspired by people around you, those you are in dialogue with, or even by casual chats. Additionally, this energy prompts you to show up more for yourself and in your relationships overall. If you are single, this aspect will bring some fun into your dating life. If you are attached, this energy could spice things up for you. On top of this, you may even find that you are craving time with important relationships overall. There is an unlikeliness that you will be along much in the coming days. Seek out experiences to play and share that playfulness with others. Children may also factor strongly and how they relate to your one-on-one partnerships. Maybe a need to approach those partnerships with a more “child-like” nature is in order.
Neptune will be shrouding things in a thick fog, however. So financially, you could be feeling a bit confused or uncertain. You may be projecting a fear or you may be lacking clarity on a situation when it comes to work or your resources. Evasion is not the answer now. Actually, you will be supported when you confront this confusion. Stability is created. Neptune can inspire you to be creative with your resources, as well. So you may find that you are needing to reconfigure how you use what you have and re-evaluate what you value overall.
Use this New Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
4th House | Attachments
If you have been feeling a little withdrawn lately, that is ok. Go with it. It seems that there has been so much emphasis on your work, career, and life direction—that it may be time to come home and tend to yourself in some way. Rest is imperative. It is necessary. Have you been allowing yourself to slow down? This New Moon will bring a period for you to refocus your energy.
Your 4th House is being lit up at this lunation, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.
Mercury and Venus will be so beautifully aligned at this New Moon. Venus in Leo has some projects, clients, and work coming in to create more ease. If you have been worried about money, this transit will ensure that you find some solutions. Additionally, Venus in Leo will have you really evaluating what you want to do with your time, work, and energy in the coming months (it will retrograde at the end of July). There will be a period of revisions, but the overall take is quite positive. If you have been wanting to also get into some sort of routine or change something here, this transit will also support this for you. You could even approach it with a little more verve!
Neptune, your modern ruler, does create a bit of tension at this lunation. It squares the Sun and Moon, and you may be doubting yourself a bit. Don’t let this get in the way of the goodness you may be receiving! Neptune is asking that you not overthink things, but instead trust your intuition. Don’t turn away opportunities or moments to show up for yourself out of fear or impostor syndrome. People see different things in you. Maybe it is time to see those things in yourself too. Of course, Neptune may also make you feel a bit immobile or like you are lacking direction. Give it a few days, this energy will pass and more clarity will come — especially in Cancer Season!
Use this New Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You’ll redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.
