This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on July 06, 2024, 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.
Main signs impacted during the lunation:
All cardinal signs, with Aries, Libra and Capricorn.
Development of points initiated since spring
It’s not a new moon that tends to form a lot of particular new triggers, it’s just that the black moon has been initiating the ascent of Libra for some time now, and I’ve been able to cover this in a dedicated post.
Otherwise, this New Moon can ask a lot to build on the momentum of spring, particularly the important impetus of the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction of last April, as well as Jupiter’s transit through Gemini in May.
It can represent a certain lull, in the sense that we already know the goal now, and we’ve already set a course to reach it, so it’s more a question of patience and perseverance at present, which can be punctuated above all by the fast moving transits.
These are still good influences for developing emotional and relational aspects, and for daring to say what you feel to someone else, even if this means activating certain wounds and fears in the process.
This may mean revisiting our attachments and sense of belonging too, to redefine the way we feel reassured and secure inside (or to regain this if these elements are lacking).
In any case, don’t neglect these safety issues, as they seem to be very important, especially during the first half of the lunation.
Be careful around mid-July, as the fast-moving transits are more likely to be intense, electric and explosive, which means they may conceal certain confrontations, power struggles and domination, but also a desire for emancipation (depending on which side you’re on), which will culminate at the Full Moon.
The full moon on July 21, 2024 is in direct contact with Pluto in Aquarius so it can form a trigger factor on it not to be overlooked!
This can be very useful if you want to purge / purify or emancipate yourself from something, be it a person or a situation. There are good energies for this, not only for cutting things off, but also for asserting yourself, for externalizing yourself, and for doing so even within a framework of faith, trust and serenity.
On this lunation, the Full Moon clearly seems much more dynamic than the New Moon, so try to wait longer for this period, especially if you need forces that require you to project yourself onto the world.
The second half of the lunation will be very dependent on the impetus generated by the Full Moon, and will continue much in the same vein, with the Fire forces gaining in power, which will be very useful for personal assertion, even in areas of seduction.
Be careful at the end of the lunation, towards the end of July and beginning of August, again with more tense, rapid moving transits which could mean, for example, an argument or a heated discussion, something where it will be more difficult to get everyone around you to agree…
