The full Moon in Capricorn has just occurred today and we will still be resolving what is coming up for us over the month ahead. We will be realising where we have completed a journey and a cycle in our lives and the coming month of July is one that is full of astrological shifts.
Mars has just entered Gemini on the 28th of June joining Uranus in that sign. This conjunction of Mars/Uranus in Gemini is bringing a powerful chance for change with its momentum and unexpected moments of brilliance. Mercury is also retrograde now in the sign of Cancer until July the 23rd. All of this will have us moving into a deeper part of our psyche and understanding about the past and also about how we navigate a new part of human nature that is emerging within us. It is as comfortable as we make it but also with Venus in Leo this lends a certain harmony to our day to day life to take us out of the doldrums should we find ourselves slipping into regret.
Jupiter now also moves into Leo today (30th) and the Sun and Moon are also square to Saturn which can result in wanting to be alone with how you work things through before moving forward. Saturn and Neptune still in Aries will make you more sensitive and you can be more prone to being impressionable with others so it is important to listen to your own heart now. Mercury is also conjunct Jupiter which can help with how you resolve issues with others. Mars in Uranus trine to Pluto and Sextile to Neptune which is a favourable connection. A powerful moment in your journey when you can have the drive to make the changes you need especially under this strong full Moon in Capricorn. You can see it through even it takes months as you are imbued with a new drive. Pluto is acting as the builder in this regard and the sextile to Neptune is making you see how you let some dreams go to accommodate others and now you are retrieving them.
Mars conjunct Uranus happens on the 4th of July and it is a day of liberation – ironically happening on the American day of celebration of independence. This can be an unpredictable day and it is one that can have you making spur of the moment decisions and actions. It is important not to act on impulse especially around that time as it is a moment when we reach a peak in volatility in some ways. It can be with the Full Moon in Capricorn having moved us into a deeper sense of what we lack we now have a fire within us to make changes but it is important to make them in a balanced way and to take one step at a time in a conscious way.
On 5th Mars trines Pluto and this is bringing your goals into focus. You have come to a realisation of what it is you may have been putting off or avoiding and now you can start with a new determination. This is about your personal empowerment and it will uncover secrets not just in the world but your own personal world. It is important to understand it is in how you react or respond to anything that comes to light that is paramount to what you go on to create in the future now.
ARIES
This is a big month for you Aries. Your ruler, Mars, is now entering Gemini and will conjunct Uranus also in Gemini on the 4th of July. It is a fireworks moment for you Aries. Something you have been working on or planning will be revealed as a winner for you. It is a majestic day in many ways for you but also one where you have to avoid clashes of any kind. Keep your opinion low key and hold on to your opinions if you can! Mars and Uranus (the planet of liberation and lightbulb, eureka moments) conjunct and they are in the sign of Gemini. Communication is key. It is not your forte Aries but only when you are in your heart and balanced can you shine now. You are running your energy on a higher plane and yet you have to keep your feet on the ground in July. You have to avoid the dramatic and just go with the magic! There is an idea or a vision you have that could just be the thing you have always waited for! Trust it and claim it as yours – you have earned it!
TAURUS
The transit of your own ruler, Venus, now in Leo will be good for you Taurus. It will focus on home and family and the 4th house and you will want to make some changes to the décor and make it even more luxurious and comfortable. You may find yourself more affectionate at this point in your life and want to show it to your partner or potential partners. You can find yourself drawn to artistic and creative projects also at this time with Venus in Leo. You want to show how you are able to create and its time to show others! You might find you are on holiday and spending more time with loved ones and home too. This is an incredibly warm time of year (not just the weather) for you and one you love so make the most of this time. The Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini is happening in your second house so it is a time when you want to speak up about something that annoys you or changing your mind with something you have committed to. It’s a time when you feel hyper active in a way and want to make changes suddenly but just ensure they are grounded and something that benefits you. Do not act on impulse just for the sake of making a change also. Trust the process!
GEMINI
Theres a lot going on Gemini! You have Mars and Uranus conjunct in your sign this week and it may be causing fireworks! You want to make changes and to enact what is needed to make them happen. This might also be making you slightly hyper active and yet a powerhouse of energy mentally. Being adaptable now in the coming month will help you find your goals are nearer than you think rather than arguing just for the sake of being right! But you have an innate gift of making things happen when you can reach the divine spark of that Mars in Gemini connection especially with Uranus like a lightning rod enabling it happen. Your primary way of creating has been mentally as you have Mercury as your ruler. But the higher ruler is Jupiter and the higher mind so it is an opportunity to trust your heart felt thoughts when they happen. To listen to the heart rather than the head. How something feels now is imperative. How it looks has to be put to one side as the logical is fighting with the heartfelt. You may find you are restless at the moment and tackle projects in an almost manic way! That’s the Uranian energy moving through but also with Mars there you are being given a chance to act in a new way – one that shows results!
CANCER
So much happening for you Cancer! You have the Sun in your own house and now you have just faced the Moon in Capricorn that brought up an awful lot of emotional stuff that was stuffed down! In the month ahead you will find you want to make those changes that you just have been putting off for so long. It is time. This is shaking up your 12th house of subconscious and dreams. Anything hidden has to be dealt with in the coming month ahead. With the Mars/Uranus conjunction you may also have sudden lightbulb moments for challenges that have eluded you for so long! It is also a highly combustible moment around the 4th when you can have that moment of clarity you have searched for especially if it is with a healing journey. Protect your peace and rest as much as you can. This is a time for you to have space to work through old threads of issues and that is exactly when something may come to light for you. The Mercury retrograde will also have you looking inward and this is happening in your first house of identity. Who you are is changing. Because something that held you back is being released…by YOU!
LEO
This is a passionate time for you Leo! Be in the throws of love or even for those not yet in a relationship, act as if the whole world loves you – because it will. This is like a theatre performance for you! You can put on a show and shine now Leo. Prepare for your moment because it is coming especially when the Sun moves into your own sign. Authenticity is key now for you Leo. You cannot hide behind old emotions or ways of being anymore and you know that. It is safe to come out from behind the furniture. So what if someone doesn’t accept you! That’s their loss! You have so many who want to be around you and just to sit with your dazzle! This transit will also activate your 11th house of friendships and community. You are the centre of someones world now Leo – friends and co workers and people who love you. Let the love reach you and lift you! With the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Gemini you also need to take it easy with how you communicate and avoid volatility! Reflect before you respond! But also rest as theres a lot of Sun in Leo coming this year and you need to manage how much you give. Reassess long term goals also. What does your heart yearn to do or be! Go for it!
VIRGO
Well Virgo this is a time when you are leaning into moments when you can just find peace. Peace from your thoughts, from others and from your over exacting mind that worries too much!!! Its time to let go of being perfect. You are already! You do not need to come across as perfect only as you and this month with the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Gemini (and Mercury retrograde) you find you have reached a stage where you have had enough in one area of your life. You may want to make those changes to career now and decide to walk a totally new path. With Mercury retrograde though you may decide that but make plans for a new direction in the coming months! Mars is squaring the Lunar Nodes (particularly triggering the Virgo/Pisces axis) and it is asking you to let go of that perfectionism trait that sees you talking yourself out of aiming to do what you love. You may find the month of July, especially this week, is a catalyst for your long term goals and you will see in hindsight – from what you plan out or have ideas for in the long term – take on a new foundation in the coming months ahead.
LIBRA
You want to find balance, harmony and peace. This is a Libra goal. But it is one that finds Librans making waves where there is an imbalance so as to achieve peace! So you see where the notion comes from of peace, love and harmony in Libra is really the end result not the actual aspect of Libra is all about! You could find that this Mars/Uranus conjunction in Gemini (your 9th house of spirituality/philosophy/travel) gives you a sudden urge to break free from a routine or travel somewhere new. Because you are an air sign and the transit is also in an air sign (Gemini) you may find it energizes your desire to speak your mind). However the volatile nature of this alignment means it can come at the cost of tension, so avoid this if you can. If you find your mind is overactive or eratic make time to go somewhere that is peaceful and calm and adopt a sense of stillness if you listen to music. To be flexible is key now Libra and you are definitely someone whose ultimate goal is peace, love and harmony just make sure it is not at the cost of your own peace. If travelling make time for delays but enjoy the moments of clarity that may come through taking different routes where you did not know you would go to! Miracles happen then!
SCORPIO
Scorpio as you know is a fixed sign and with Mars and Uranus conjunction in the mutable sign of Gemini you may be ticking off things from a long list of psychological challenges you have gone through and overcome. A shift is happening for you Scorpio and a long awaited one perhaps. You are a great strategist and see through people clearly! A gift some say – but not always. You have your deep wounds that have hurt and you may have spent some time over the last year going through a purging of old threads of patterns with those wounds. Now under the Capricorn Moon we just had you have made a final list of who stays and who goes from your inner circle of trust. You need intellectual freedom with what you do as a career but who you are as a person also. You run the show. Your mind may be going from one topic to the next during this time with Gemini and its Mars/Uranus conjunction but you Scorpio have a depth and focus that few have. You can get to the nub of something and bring out hidden depths no one cared to search for. It’s a time of uncovering and no one does it better than You!
SAGITTARIUS
Well its been a long time coming Sagittarius but you are ready to make a break for the border lol. Your ruler, Jupiter, in Leo now for the next thirteen months will have you avoiding the urge to hide away and stay in a quiet place so no one knows you are there. To keep it all very small and very simple. That is good too but it needs a balance now. You love to see the bigger picture Sagittarius but with this Mars/Uranus conjunction you also have a volatile energy of rapid fire in Gemini and communication. Mercury is now retrograde so those conversations may be ones with yourself! What you tell yourself and what your beliefs are. They may be changing radically over the coming months. You have seen the light and it cannot go back into a box. You want to know more about who you are and what your beliefs will mean for your future and this conjunction in Gemini will give you sudden flashes of insight when you need them. But be aware of making sudden changes just because you are intellectually bored or stifled perhaps channel the change into something you are doing or trying to create this month. These changes may affect romantic relationships because you want change. You have a deep need for it now. It does not have to be bad or the end it just needs to be re-crafted. A new path awaits you Sagittarius, it just means not talking yourself out of it but also not being too blunt in how you reach it.
CAPRICORN
This is a Moon for you isn’t it Capricorn! The complexity of it! The intensity and the deep dive into the foundation of your life will have been felt and continue to be felt this month. Slow and steady is the motto for Capricorn! You always get there in the end. But with this conjunction of Mars/Uranus in Gemini you may find you put aside your steady ways and want to make sudden changes after flashes of insight but hold on!!! Your sixth house of plot twists with careers etc is in play here. You are a practical Capricorn but you may need to navigate sudden changes also. Your earthly grounded Capricorn energy may be clashing with the airy Gemini transit and you could sometimes be at odds with that mental energy. It wants you to take impulsive leaps perhaps but trust the heart of who you are and the discipline of your own sun sign. You can also use this unfiltered energy of Mars/Uranus in Gemini and channel it into something you have set your heart on be it career or a new health routine. If you are put on the spot by someone also take a step back and see how what they offer works for you. It may not be your dream! Slow and Steady does win the race but also trust the heartfelt approach of softness and kindness as it is the key to everything.
AQUARIUS
This may have been a very heady time for you over the last week leading up to the Capricorn Full Moon. The foundation of who you are and how you show up in the world is changing and you may have had old memories stir up to show you something that does not need to be a certain way anymore. While that Moon is still active we find we are entering the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Gemini and for you Aquarius this is even headier lol but in a good way. It is the cosmic event of this year. It triggers a massive surge of breakthroughs where you might have despaired! The last year eight years especially have been a time of negotiating through old karmic contracts and relationships and now you find Uranus in the sign of Gemini joined by Mars on the 4th of July is a catalyst for a whole new beginning. It is very much a freedom cry. Channel any restlessness you feel into writing down your thoughts, creativity or just brainstorming! You may have so many ideas of the future or what your dreams are now that your head is spinning! Organise your thoughts by putting pen to paper and keeping a little journal of your heartfelt desires. Also pause before you react! Mars conjunct Uranus can be that explosive energy that makes us reactionary. This ensures any sudden changes will be aligned to your long held dreams and hopes for the future not as a result of someone triggering you!
PISCES
You are deeply empathetic! You know this Pisces. You are gentle and intuitive and hold a very spiritual nature that always desires to come out. But with the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Gemini you may find there is a restlessness and unpredictability stirring within you over the coming days. The mutable clash between watery empathy (Pisces) and airy mental volatility (Mars in Gemini) could mean you are processing the world through shocking bursts of inspiration and nervous energy (Uranus) now! There is a curiosity in you being stirred by this Mars in Gemini connection and the spark of genius (Uranus in Gemini) serves to have you craving mental stimulation when pursuing goals. Those flashes of inspiration need to come from a place of balance of course and also from that empathetic heart felt connection you so dearly love within you Pisces. But this transit serves like chaotic magic! It can be heady and wonderful but also destructive. You may be tested to go with the flow if challenged by others or if you feel you want to uproot where you are and change just for the sake of change. Gemini forms a square to your Pisces Sun and this transit could bring challenges to your daily routine. There is a test of faith here and its asking you to trust divine timing and how the Universe is working with you not against you. Its all going to work out in the end!!!
