Cosmic Daily Weather – July 2019

By Bernadette Evans

Overview

July is a busy month astrologically. Eclipse season is back. Eclipses are new Moons or full Moons that are super-charged. They’re powerful, and their effects last approximately six months. The first eclipse is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on July 2 in the sign of Cancer. The focus will be on family and how you can look after yourself in the mix. How can you support others while being supported yourself? The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is on July 16 in the sign of Capricorn. Family will still be emphasized along with responsibility—what’s yours and what isn’t. The month ends with a second New Moon, this time it’s in Leo. What would you like to create? Maybe you’re seeking more romance, want to play with your children or grandchildren or want to be a leader that everyone looks up to. Whatever your intention is, New Moons are the perfect time to set your intentions for the coming month. Mercury stations Retrograde on July 7 and will be retrograde for just over three weeks. When Mercury is Retrograde, depending on how it’s affecting your chart, it can mean miscommunications, emails and text messages getting lost, or just delays in general. If you don’t have to make a major purchase at this time, don’t. Be sure to look over any contracts carefully, before signing. Mercury isn’t all doom and gloom, it’s a terrific time to revisit, rethink or re-evaluate what’s been working for you and what hasn’t, and then make the appropriate changes. There’s a lot going on this month; with patience, attention to details and taking some time out for yourself, it can be a great month.

The Moon takes about 28 days to complete its orbit through the 12 signs, staying approximately two and a half days in each sign. When we say the Moon is Void of Course (VoC), it means the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets before it leaves the sign its in. At these times, it can be difficult to get focused and accomplish a task. You may want to relax, meditate or do something where your focus is turned inward. Don’t try and get a new project off the ground when the Moon is void. If you want to find out more about the Void of Course Moon, check out Moontracks.com.

The times below are listed in Central Daylight Time.

Sunday, July 7

You may want some time alone to sit with any feelings that surface when the Moon Trines Pluto.

Monday, July 8

Tuesday, July 9

Communication could come to a standstill with the Sun-Saturn opposition, squaring the Moon. You may feel misunderstood and want to isolate yourself.

Monday, July 15

Practical matters are at the forefront with the Moon in Capricorn. When the Moon trines Uranus an unusual idea could present itself, which helps you at work. There is electricity in the air with Uranus and the Moon-Mars quincunx. You may feel like you’re moving in one direction, only to find yourself readjusting and moving in another direction, then back again. It can be challenging trying to fit all the pieces together.

Tuesday, July 16

The energies of the Full Moon are amplified because there is a partial Lunar Eclipse. Pluto is also thrown into the mix, which makes it even more intense. The focus is still on family, home and relationships, a continuation of whatever took place on July 2. Is there something you’re seeing now with a more objective eye that you need to release? It’s powerful and emotionally intense. At times, you may feel alone on this journey, but you’re quietly determined and focused on what needs to be done and what you need to let go of. Today the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is at 4:38 p.m. and then the Moon is VoC.

Wednesday, July 17

There is an air of detachment today when the Moon moves into Aquarius. This feeling of separateness from others or feeling like you’re being restricted can make you feel like you want to escape from it all. You could turn inward and face whatever or whomever you want to run away from, head-on and learn from it. Moon enters the sign of Aquarius at 4:19 a.m.

Thursday, July 18

Saturday, July 20

The Moon in Pisces may motivate you to tap into your artistic side and feel into your emotions. Use your intuition to be creative or go on a meditative journey.

Sunday, July 21

The Sun-Mercury conjunction can enhance your awareness about what’s going on around you. Add the Venus-Pluto opposition and you could find those in authority trying to exert pressure or control the situation. Instead of getting drawn into any drama, use this energy to create something you love. Work on your craft, your hard work will pay off.

Monday, July 22

It’s the start of Leo season, so Happy Birthday to all the Leos out there! The Moon-Sun trine fills you with excitement and vim and vigor. You have enthusiasm when it comes to new ventures.

The Sun enters Leo at 9:50 p.m. Moon VoC at 3:34 a.m. until 5:02 a.m., when it enters the sign of Aries.

Tuesday, July 23

The fiery energy continues with a grand fire trine between the Moon-Mars and Jupiter. Feelings of impulsivity and enthusiasm are abundant. You could have a lot of irons in the fire, wanting to run from one thing to the next. If you find yourself scattered but with lots of energy to burn, do a physical activity; it will help ease the restlessness and ground you.

Wednesday, July 24

Expressing how you feel to the people you love comes easily when Mercury conjuncts Venus. The Moon squares Mercury and Venus inspiring you to say what’s on your mind. Moon VoC at 9:48 a.m. until 4:42 p.m., when it enters the sign of Taurus.

Friday, July 26

Intensity and passion are bubbling under the surface when the Moon trines Pluto. You want connections to be serious and deep. Everything is felt more strongly.

Saturday, July 27

Venus enters the sign of Leo at 8:54 p.m. She’ll be there for just over three weeks. You may feel like going out to parties with your friends or buying something that makes you feel gorgeous and confident. There’s a desire to enjoy all that life has to offer. There can be a need to express yourself in a dramatic way. Moon enters the sign of Gemini at 1:29 a.m.

Sunday, July 28

Today is a great day to gather information, do some reading, investigating, or working on something creatively. With the VoC Moon, you may not want to start any new projects. Also, be sure of your facts if you get into a debate with someone today, and take the time to listen to what they have to say. Moon VoC at 10:24 a.m. for the rest of the day.

Monday, July 29

You may be experiencing turbulent waters with the Sun-Uranus square and the Moon in Cancer. You may feel you have to exert your will over others and this isn’t going to sit well; or the opposite, you may feel someone is trying to exert their will over you. Either way, you may feel you need to escape. Taking time out for yourself to get some air is a brilliant idea. One word of caution, pay attention to what you’re doing, whether you’re walking or driving, to avoid accidents. Moon enters the sign of Cancer at 6:31 a.m.

Tuesday, July 30

Whether something has come to an end or you’ve arrived at a new beginning, depends on your point of view, when the Moon opposes Saturn. You could be feeling alone and depressed, but this is a momentary emotion and will pass. Tomorrow is a new day. Moon VoC at 10:32 p.m.

Wednesday, July 31

Mercury starts its forward motion tonight, and as much as you may be in a hurry to see your plans progressing, it will take a while before he picks up speed. There is also another New Moon this month, this time in Leo. One aspect of the New Moon in Leo is to connect with your Inner Child. Remember what it was like to just be in the moment and play? Have fun expressing yourself! Mercury stations direct at 10:58 p.m. Moon enters the sign of Leo at 8:18 a.m. New Moon at 10:12 p.m.
