the moon in july

Both the full moon in Capricorn and the new moon in Leo this month have a strong ego component and orientation. Skyhooks said it best with their song: “Ego, is not a dirty word”

Ego is our true sense of self. Ego provides the foundation for self belief, self protection and self validation. Through ego we recognize our right to take up space, establish our own boundaries and assertively say “no!”

Full Moon in Capricorn -  11th July @5:38am Melbourne, 10th July @8:38pm London, 12:38pm San Francisco

The Full Moon in Capricorn will illuminate the path of your ambitions and the goals you set. Take some time to celebrate what you’ve achieved so far and acknowledge all the hard work and commitment it’s taken to get here. Mars in trine aspect to the Moon will provide the impetus to keep moving forward with any new ideas or current projects. Over the next couple of weeks after the full moon, take advantage of the waning lunar energy to reassess current planning methods and strategies. Then, make any necessary adjustments to keep current projects on track and headed in the right direction.

New Moon in Leo - 25th July @4:12am, 24th July @7:12pm London, 11:12am San Francisco

The new moon in Leo forms a nice trine with Saturn/Neptune and an opposition to Pluto. The Sun and Moon in Leo will bring with it a sense of pride that is authentic and right sized. Confidence will infuse your actions and intentions, and Pluto’s opposition will give rise to an inner strength that might catch you off guard at first. The Sun/Moon/Pluto combination brings with it an opportunity for powerful new beginnings and perspectives. The Saturn/Neptune trine will direct your imaginative ideas out of the ethereal and into a more structured and workable format. Where they go from here is up to you.
