This is another doozy of a month for you, Capricorn, as your transformation continues, with prominent Pluto in these astrological skies, plus Neptune is close conjunction with Saturn, your ruler. The recent Cancer New Moon, in your opposite sign, indicates that there is this time a concentration of focus on relationships of all kinds, business, friendship, and more personal. Mercury is also in retrograde after mid-July in your intimacy sector, indicating that you might be spending time – this month and next – on re-thinking certain aspects of your relationship dynamic. Home and family concerns have likewise been prominent for you lately, continuing into the present month. There is simultaneously a rosy glow of compassion and spiritual connection to current familial dynamics. With prominent Pluto, your values and resources are also in transition, affecting finances and perhaps your attitude toward the material itself. With the Full Moon in your sign of July 10th, partnerships in your life remain a big focus, while your own self-development within that is also an important part of the story. You are taking in how much of what you do is practical, yet life in some ways partakes of that which is essentially mystical. The Last Quarter Moon in Aries on the 17th highlights this conundrum and adds an attention on internal wounding, likely stemming from childhood trauma, that forms a significant piece of your own current evolution. Your true life purpose can be seen in that way as rather more private than out in the world. Mercury turns retrograde in this same timing, which lasts until August 11th in its backward motion, and until the 24th as it recovers during it post-retrograde shadow period. This next New Moon – which transpires on July 24th – indicates that the August month is a somewhat difficult one as well, as these themes continue to emerge.
The following was written by our guest columnist, Kimberly Peta Dewhirst. You can find her at Star Sign Style.
July begins for you in the afterglow of the recent Cancer New Moon, which due to its lunation cycle of thirty days has energetic effects that last throughout the weeks ahead, up to the Leo New Moon of the 24th. The New Moon in your opposite sign indicates a new beginning for your seventh sector of partnership, and your relationship dynamic itself participates in this. An amplification of this theme occurs courtesy of Jupiter, closely conjunct the Sun and Moon, and exalted in Cancer, which adds a generous emphasis to partnerships of all kinds. You might have expansive feelings toward existing partners and be open to learning about all kinds of collaborations that inspire you to go the distance. The New Moon also highlights Saturn and Neptune, closely conjunct in Aries, or your home and family sector, indicating that there is a new-found dedication to making things work in this area, where you are also subject to a certain degree of illusion or fantasy, with the upside of a feeling of spiritual connection to issues of your dwelling or your familial concerns. It is possible that you might also be feeling progress on old issues that have long been festering within you; perhaps indicating that there are issues inner wounding that you are ready to deal with.
Mars is configured in a sextile to the New Moon, located in Virgo or your sector of higher mind pursuits, inner wisdom, philosophy – thus encouraging personal growth in this area. There are implications as well for long-distance travel and adventure, plus enthusiasm for educational paths, and projects that see you driving ahead. This might be bringing a positive influence to a fresh approach toward family or relationships. You might wind up talking to advantage with a best friend or business alliance – or a coach, guide, family member.
On the 2nd, the First Quarter Moon arrives in Libra, emphasizing your public image and reputation, and here you might be balancing your career or outer profile, and what you’re striving to accomplish within a significant union. Venus, the ruler of Libra, is conjunct radical Uranus in late Taurus at this time, the two blending their planetary signatures to bring extra attention to your passions, any children you may have, or as well, your creative self-expression. You might find that there are adjustments in your approach to your love life or artistic talents. It may be apparent that the way you indulge or pursue pleasure has undergone significant alterations, with unconventional affections or hobbies that seem unusual, odd or perhaps set you apart as an outlier. At this point, awareness of your personal or professional goals, aspirations or ambitions might make it apparent how you are able to enjoy yourself, and follow your heart!
Venus enters Gemini on the 4th, in your sixth sector of health, wellness and daily upkeep, while Neptune stations retrograde in Aries or your fourth sector of home and family. With Venus’ ingress into this mutable air sign you’re perhaps able to be more creative and playful in your workplace, or in the pursuit of your habitual efforts in support of your wellbeing. There could be a sense of fun about your daily habits that you can come to at this time, and the way you organize or systematize. Meanwhile, Neptune’s station to retrograde motion in the base of your chart, your psychological roots could instigate a re-visioning of your past, and the way you contextualize your ancestry, origins or start in life. Parenting or property issues could seem confused or illusion-filled, so that extra effort is required to remain discerning.
On July 7th Uranus enters Gemini, indicating a shift in this same area of day-to-day habits and environment. This could represent an awakening and unexpected left turn in your approach to healthy living and your body, routines, or your sense of service to others. Uranus has the potential to deliver shockwaves or breakthroughs, with significant alterations to your duties or lifestyle. You might suddenly overhaul the way you take care of yourself, or unexpectedly start doing things differently. Both Venus already in Gemini, and Uranus, newly entered, harmonize with Saturn and Neptune, thereby aligning a changing approach to managing yourself and others with an evolving understanding of your foundations, roots and nurturing tendencies. Further, a trine to Pluto in Aquarius taps into a transformation around finances or personal values, plus how you aspire to your own sense of self-worth.
On the 10th, the Full Moon in your zodiac sign illuminates your first house of personal life, ego, and character. It might be important that you acknowledge your sense of self or encourage others to look your way too at this time. As this lunation answers to Saturn in Aries, household interests could factor in here, as well as your identity in family settings so that you might direct attention to who you are within your inner sanctuary or the family fold. Saturn is at a standstill, ready to retrograde on the 12th, thus elevating his potency in this home and family sector, perhaps slowing things down at your residence, property, or sense of home base. Your family life could be realigning or you may be coming to terms with new responsibilities underfoot. There’s perhaps a slow restructure underway or more work to do in familiar surroundings, with a re-definition of safety, security or boundaries.
The Last Quarter Moon in Aries, or your root sector of home and family, arriving on the 17th, focuses additional energy there and brings up potential conflicts with key relationships in your life, symbolized by the Cancer Sun in your opposite sign. This same day, Mercury is also beginning to retrograde in Leo, or your sector of shared resources, with a supportive sextile from Venus. Partnership agreements could be the introspective subject of review and revision, while your emotional roots and domain are also important. With the retrograde underway it might be time to review and revise shared spaces, looking into what you have going and what you do not.
The Sun enters its domicile sign of Leo on the 22nd, appearing in this same sector where the Mercury is taking place. Partnerships and close relationship shine a little brighter.
The Leo New Moon arrives on the 24th, giving fresh energy to your sector of shared resources and also intimacy, and initiating another difficult and yet transformationally rewarding monthly cycle lasting into August. This New Moon is also loaded with outer planet aspects, really plugging into them, trine Saturn and Neptune, sextile Uranus, and opposing Pluto. This is another very potent lunation, with many of the same areas affected as during the beginning of July. You are up against massive change and do well to accept the inevitable and get on with it.
