Events: Mercury direct station at 24 Gemini (Tues, Jul 1)
SUNDAY June 29: Neptune makes major transactions with the Sun, Venus and Juno. Who believes what? Do people’s statements require belief, or is it time for skepticism? Keep a greasy eyeball on blanket statements and gross generalizations. A noisy claque isn’t a majority. The Moon enters Leo at 4:43 am. Her big job today is a sextile with Venus in Gemini at 8:17 pm. This is a pleasant, social, talkative aspect. People exchange news and updates about their social activities and little journeys.
MONDAY June 30: The Leo Moon trines Uranus (1:40 pm), squares Saturn (2:58 pm), and trines Mars (5:42 pm). This suggests that the day’s most dynamic action will occur through the afternoon; three steps forward, one step back, and a rocket-launcher ahead. Great ideas need fact-checking. Attend to domestic matters in the evening. Venus is contra-parallel Pluto, a declination aspect rather like an opposition. Enthusiastic talk about the future could be subject to grumps who rain on the parade. Keep an upbeat, optimistic view and don’t let naysayers spoil the moment.
TUESDAY July 1: The Leo Moon sextiles Mercury at 6 am and goes void-of-course. This highlights Mercury’s direct station at 8:50 am, at 24 Gemini. The dawn rises and intuitive knowledge floats into conscious awareness. Pay attention to morning dreams, as they may be signals of things the subconscious knows that the ego hasn’t quite noticed yet. Moon-Mercury intensifies perceptions on all levels. The Moon enters Virgo (Mercury’s sign) at 5:24 pm. This is good for detail work, close scrutiny of details, and clean-up efforts.
WEDNESDAY July 2: The Virgo Moon rules the roost today. She opposes Neptune at 8:30 am, so the morning hours are dwarfish – Groggy and Dopey. Things are energized in the afternoon as the Moon sextiles the Sun (3:19 pm), squares Venus (3:50) and trines Pluto (6:20). People with similar experiences share what they’ve learned and coping skills. Creative people can be very productive with this Virgo Moon and the Mercury direct. Projects that were bogged down finally start rolling in a good direction.
THURSDAY July 3: The Virgo Moon sextiles Saturn at 3:32 am, and this orderly, organizing energy infuses most of the day. Keep track of important things, do math, and follow through on responsibilities. Venus is inconjunct Pluto, so everyone sees a different side of a situation. Venus is semi-square Jupiter, indicating that sentimentality and emotional conditioning can muck up the facts or reality of a situation. However, Venus is also parallel Jupiter. Find the confidence to put worries to the side and proceed toward goals and new forms of learning. The Moon squares Mercury at 7 pm. This is a critical, challenging aspect to the freshly direct Mercury. Road test ideas and new projects, and be willing to accept good suggestions that help refine and improve work. Kids may not want to do what they’re told, or may not want to eat the broccoli.
FRIDAY July 4: The Sun opposes Pluto. The Sun is conjunct the US natal Sun (the nation's birthday & Independence Day) and Sirius, the Dog Star, at 12 Cancer. The Virgo Moon sextiles Jupiter at 12:21 am and goes void until 5:43 am, when the Moon enters Libra. People want protection against threats. What constitutes a threat? What needs to be protected and from whom? People may be jumping at shadows, or generate fear to manipulate others. The Sun’s light gives leadership in dark times. Pay attention to those who are struggling with depression or illness – a good word or compliment can change their whole day!
Mercury makes his third trine to the North Node. Seek equity and balance, fairness in dealings, and strive for commonality rather than bigotry. True greatness comes from inclusiveness and not exclusivity. The things that different races and nations share are far greater than sectarian differences. The Libra Moon seeks justice and favorable conditions for the well-being of all. Kind and thoughtful acts are greatly appreciated today.
SATURDAY July 5: The Libra Moon squares Pluto and the Sun, forming a T-square from 5:30 to 8:00 am. Exercise caution if driving around sunrise. The Moon trines Venus at 9:52 am, shifting attention to all things social and communicative. The celestial Ladies plan events, parties, gatherings, and performances this morning. It’s time to come together in harmony to share food, talent, and fellowship. Vesta is conjunct Ceres at 21 Libra. These Lady Asteroids have spent several months retrograding in Libra along with Mars and the North Node, which are only a few degrees away in either direction. Conjunctions wrap up the old and plant seeds for the new. This is an aspect that brings early harvests, significant results from effort, and turning points in what people expect from negotiations.
In the early afternoon, the Moon opposes Uranus (1:46 pm), and dawdles a bit before making a conjunction to Mars at 9:31 pm. The Moon is conjunct Vesta, Ceres, and the North Node in the late evening hours. People’s attitudes may be changing in noticeable ways as they reach firm decisions on matters that have been up in the air for several months. It’s a great evening to talk, think, discuss and debate. Moon-Mars can spark up new friendships and attractions.
Sun Sign Horoscopes
Aries: It’s hard to judge results close-up; back up a bit and ask trusted friends to evaluate. Good suggestions are worth following. Clarify workplace muddles on Tuesday. Good and evil become shades of grey after Thursday; avoid extremes. Saturday is fine for enjoying companionship.
Taurus: Solidify alliances with capable women. Delayed messages finally arrive after Tuesday, and work that’s been hindered by distractions moves toward progress. Value and beauty improve with refinement. Watch for moodiness after Thursday; maintain health on a stable trajectory.
Gemini: Big dreams and visions can be undermined by insecurities or attachment to the familiar. Look for ways to make changes attractive and easy to accept. After Thursday, absorb criticism with an open mind. People close to you are shifting from one phase to the next.
Cancer: People in distant places relate encouraging news on Tuesday. After Wednesday, divergent opinions tug your emotions. Beware of manipulation, or people who want to rope you into their obsessions. Wrap up projects over the weekend and prepare for fresh activities.
Leo: You need a crystal ball to plan for upcoming events, but some factors remain unknown. Other people are on an emotional roller-coaster after Wednesday, some highs, some lows. Health issues need a balanced approach; don’t expect the worst. Trade tips and shortcuts on Saturday.
Virgo: What’s desirable depends on who is doing the talking. Your tastes and preferences can change along with an evolving situation. After Wednesday, self-analyze to gain insights on emerging attitude shifts. A good opportunity on Friday is worth a little haggling.
Libra: People’s responses to their current situations lead to ethical and moral evaluations. How far are you willing to go down the garden path, even when love is involved? Concepts of propriety mean more to you than others. Take a firm position and don’t apologize for it.
Scorpio: The people and things that are meaningful to you are in transition, and giving mixed signals. Puzzle it out after Tuesday. Learning is valuable, but requires an intense commitment to a lengthy process. It may be your fate to determine endings; do so with dignity and compassion.
Sagittarius: You see beyond immediate confusions or worries that cause people to worry as the week begins. After Wednesday, power plays and head games provoke criticism or skepticism. As one affiliation ends, a new one begins. Keep moving toward the unfolding future.
Capricorn: Take the opportunity to explore new horizons. The meaning of “work” and “value” are in transition. Apply knowledge and experience in a new way after Wednesday. People may be mirrors of what’s inside your subconscious mind on Friday. Find a new center of balance.
Aquarius: As the week begins, discussions about possibilities may be peppered with doubts. Do research, find facts, and gain clarity instead of fumbling with unknowns. Other people’s health concerns are central as the week closes. Older women have much wisdom to share if you listen.
Pisces: It’s tough to transfer mental visions into form perfectly. Don’t let it frustrate you. Lucky accidents lead to amazing discoveries; embrace mistakes. Love and beauty energize your deepest emotions – not all obsessions are a bad thing! Heirlooms and history are links to a family’s past.
