This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on July 02, 2019, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Risks of slowness, floating
The elemental energies are quite fragmented over the period, we see a stellium of personal planets forming around Cancer but this one is quite heterogeneous, on the one hand the Leo Fire is already beginning seriously to point with Mars in this sign, to ask for a self-assertion, a greater social influence, more direct, but on the other hand the emotional, sensitive and receptive energies of Cancer are still very present and can bring a part of floating, passivity, melancholy, nostalgia, blues…
I mentioned at the previous june lunation in Gemini the fact that the lunar nodes transit would be underlined for several more months by Saturn’s retrograde motion at the south node, and here typically this new moon can be useful to have precisely a greater objectivity on all these elements, it will be able to “bring to light” during this lunation in a more frank way the current goal to follow, the path to take, and it seems that we will have the energy for, the will, the ability to change our old values and adapt ourselves, it’s a new Moon of eclipse, so it is reputed to be “stronger” energetically and in terms of influence.
Having said that, this can be done in a rather nervous and anxious frame, I have talked a lot these last months about the duality “freedom / security” that can directly produce the investment of Uranus in Taurus, and here it can be one of these necessary turns to take, especially for the first decans of the Fixed signs besides (taurus, leo, scorpio, aquarius), can be a form of renunciation to lead on the shares of security precisely (the quadrature of mars and mercury to uranus applies directly to you).
As mentioned since the previous lunation, for everyone, don’t take a decision right away for everything that concerns the social sphere, these energies lend themselves more at the moment to analysis, to a part of introspection, even if you are pressed from certain sides (for example through a boss or an associate), and that yourself you want to make a final decision on some problems, impulsiveness will be a very bad counsellor under this sky.
Mercury is in stationary phase now, but the planet will thus pass retrograde to july 8 only, and it will remain so until august 01, that is to say exactly for the next new moon where it will resumption direct motion, as much as to say that this lunation will favour a depth of reflection, the planet will even have time to find Opposition to Pluto, a useful aspect for notions of investigation, excavation, analysis, psychology…
One of the interpretations of this type of influence is also a more pronounced feeling of disconnection between professional and family values, perhaps that delays will have repercussions in one area on the other, for example, or why not, as the summer vacation period opens, perhaps a setback will force you to change your mind along the way in relation to the summer projects initially planned.
The full moon of July 16 2019 is likely to be fully impacted by this retrograde motion in addition to the social planets retrograde motion Jupiter and Saturn, we also see Venus which is now conjoined at the north node, an energy that may involve a questioning of our values, the importance we give to things, probably under a more emotional prism, taking into account these sensitive data in the equation…
