Astrology for Wednesday, July 1

Today is a good to wrap yourself in your cocoon, alone with your dreams and thoughts. Something terrific could be birthed in the middle of a dream, a meditation - big ideas, big dreams. The Moon in insightful Scorpio is trine Neptune in Pisces, and both are sextile to the cerebral asteroid Pallas Athene. Pallas Athene also has a martial quality, which can be allowed expression as the Moon in Scorpio trines Mars in Aries. Fighting for one's ideas or beliefs. Allowing time to recognize and develop those thoughts. Distraction is your enemy.

We are just days away from the next eclipse on July 5. We've had a lunar eclipse at 15 degrees Sagittarius on June 5; a solar eclipse at Midsummer, at 0 degrees Cancer, and now another lunar eclipse at 13 degrees Capricorn. This eclipse season has kicked off a six month period of disquiet.

The lunar eclipse happens near the full moon, a time when emotions run high, anyway.

There is a lot of stress in the eclipse chart between leaders and the people...change is obviously imminent, although the sort of change will be influenced by the will of the people. We do get to make choices. The choices we each make to expand or grow our understanding...or not, toward the matters ruled by Capricorn - big business, big government, authority figures, the patriarchy ....will be like the raindrops that make up a bucket of water. We all get a chance to choose.

The eclipse will most influence people who have 10 - 16 degree planets in Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra. The lunar eclipse happens near the full moon, a time when emotions run high, anyway. Many will simply experience it as a super-charged full moon event.
