Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn

The full moon traditionally means endings, or completion… indicating this may be a good time to finish up projects already begun… This month’s Full Moon is in the 2nd phase, indicating it’s still a favorable time to work on projects, but we may not be able to get all (if any) completed. The message with this full moon then, is continue as you have been for the last little while, no hurry, no fuss. Being focused on our tasks could be easier now as the full moon falls in responsible, business-like Capricorn.   

When a Lunar Eclipse occurs it usually means that the moon’s influence’s will be stronger and can last from 6 to 12 months. This is only if the moon aspects your natal, progressed or solar arc chart positions. 

  • All of the above will be highlighted as the moon becomes full in this sign. Some of us may come across as seemingly unemotional, or too business like… this is great when dealing with business issues, but might not go down too well with close friends or loved ones. Take time out to really listen. 
  • This is a great time to get organized though, as we have a better understand that being organized helps us to be more productive.
  • Family business issues may be on the agenda for the next few days, especially those dealing with any of the more mature (elder) family member(s): Do what must be done, but don’t forget to give and take a little hug now and then.
  • Some folk may experience challenges with teenagers, workers or children, rules and guidelines may need to be set.
  • Those with a rebellious streak in their natures, such as Aquarius folk may not take kindly to any rules and regulations during this full moon, they are encouraged to keep their own council if the rules apply to a job, unless of course they are ready to move on to another.
  • Dealings with older folks, especially father types and authority figures may be on the agenda for some of us…

    HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

    In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

    The Moon Void-off-Course: 

    There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

    Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

    These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

    • Cancer
    • Taurus
    • Sagittarius
    • Pisces…

    Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

    There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

  • Date:  July 1 @ 9:21 pm (ET) 6:21 pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Sagittarius 
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: July 3 @ 9:06 am (ET) @ 6:06 am (PT) to Moon in Capricorn later that night for PT and Early July 4 for ET: Moon v/c in Sagittarius is one of the 4 void of course  “good signs”.
  • Opportunity Period: None
    • Sagittarius is the most “easy-going” of the fire signs and is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” **Jupiter is currently in retrograde motion in the sign of Capricorn, to mid September.**
    • We are going to want our personal freedom now, so take care, those of you who have possessive or jealous tendencies, they might not be tolerated for the next couple of days. 
    • Because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter “the lucky planet” we may be feeling luckier then usual… Just take care not to go over the budget… :) 
    • Sagittarius can be blunt,  :( it’s good to keep in mind that others may be more sensitive… :) thinking before speaking is a good idea over the next few days… ;) 
    • We could have more energy for fun things such as music, sports and shows
    • It’s easier to try something new and exciting just take care not to get carried away.
    • Could be a good time to take a few days for rest, relaxation and laughter
    • Good time for making fantastic plans for the future. 
    • The moon in Sagittarius may be good for: Borrowing money, buying a vehicle, sending mail or starting a diet.

  • Moon in Sagittarius

  • Mid-heaven in Sagittarius
  • Sun in Sagittarius
  • Aspects to the Moon and Jupiter.

*** Notes***

Saturn makes a sign change at 7:37 pm (ET) 4:37 pm (PT) on July 1. Moving into the sign of Capricorn. Saturn is comfortable in this sign, because he rules Capricorn… this “connection” also makes both Saturn and Capricorn “stronger”. 

Saturn is the planet of discipline, authority and traditions… Capricorn is concerned about career, and image, and sometimes it means a desire to get ahead. Saturn is currently in retrograde motion. We can expect to focus on the essentials in life, like work, career, schooling etc… And we can also expect to do things over again, or find ourselves meeting up people from our past… Perhaps we will go over our family traditions… research jobs and career options… A good time for all of those things… Keep in mind that when planets are in retrograde motion, new projects, jobs, relationships don’t always go as planned… If you have to start anything now, be prepared for delays and do overs.

The Moon & Astrology; how it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon In Leo June 2020: Venus turns direct

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

http://www.123rf.com: Copyright : chizhovao
  • Date: June 23 @ 8:33 am (ET) @ 5:33 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Leo
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: June 23 @ 10:34 pm (PT) June 24 @ 1:34 am (ET): *Leo Moon* v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to be noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts:

    • Moon in Leo:
    • Sun in Leo:  
    • Moon in Aquarius
    • Sun in Aquarius
    • Moon in the 5th house 
    • Aspects to the moon or the Sun
  •  Those who have a strong Aquarius placement in their charts may also feel this moon’s influence more than others. 

Notes:

Venus turns direct on June 24 @ 11:48 pm (PT) on June 25 @ 2:48 am (ET): Venus is the planet of love, beauty and money, she rules the signs Venus and Libra: New that she has gone direct again, life areas relating to relationships and money should begin to move along more smoothly… go slowly though, as it will take Venus a little while to feel comfortable moving forward again.

Mercury Retrograde: Enters Storm on June 9: Retrograde June 17/18 to July 12 2020: Remains in “storm” until July 19

Shining blue neon zodiac Mercury vector symbol

Mercury Retrograde

Sometimes Mercury gets a bad wrap when he goes retro… but it’s not all bad.. :) 

When Mercury goes retrograde it would appear from our Earth’s prospective that Mercury is moving backwards….. hmmm no wonder he can cause some confusion…  Yet, if we can “respect” Mercury while he is in this position by applying the “rules” that fit, we can come out of this period with a smile instead of a frown… :) 

The “rules” are as follows… 

  • Pay attention to and do as many things possible with the two letters RE in front of the word… for example… REnovate: REdecorate: REdo: REcreate: REnew: 
  • Try not to begin any new projects: 
  • Might not be a good time to start a new relationship
  • May be a good time to renew a relationship (depending on personal chart data)
  • Try not to sign important documents. Exception renewing a mortgage, but be very careful about the small print. 
  • If you need to sign important papers, make sure you understand everything, if you don’t ask questions. 
  • Mistakes in communications and messages are highly likely during this period, so read and REread before you sign or commit. 
  • Expect delays in communications or in getting your questions answered. 
  • Expect misunderstandings in communications
  • Have patience when communicating
  • Have patience when waiting for a reply or an answer
  • New plans made during this time may not work out as planned or may need to be REdone at a later date
  • Mercury is in the sign of Cancer ♋during this retrograde motion… Life area’s involving domestic issues and family may not go as planned… leave sensitive topics until after July 19th if possible. 

When Mercury is said to be in “storm” he is moving very slowly, the effects of the Mercury Retrograde will apply to a slightly lesser degree.

  • Mercury entered its “storm” on June 9th {Write down new ideas with date and time they occurred, when Mercury is “back on track” go through them and discard the ones you know will not work, then see what you can do with the rest :)}
  • He goes Retrograde on June 17 @ 9:59 pm (PT) June 18 @ 12:59 am (ET):
  • Mercury turns direct on July 12 @ 4:26 am (ET) @ 1:26 am (PT)
  • Mercury is clear of its storm July 19th: {look over any notes that you made earlier, and see what makes sense now}
