This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on July 28, 2022, 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 fixed signs: Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus
Challenge to stability
The major event of the period is the formation of a Grand Cross within the Fixed Cross, which is the most “complex” astrological mode for this pattern, since it is the one which basically requires the most stability, security, “conservation and preservation”, whereas the quadratures act as forces of “violent rupture”, needs for change, impetuous impulses of “novelties”…
The major aspect within this pattern, and which can “sign” the present the most, is the stellium formed in Taurus by the triple conjunction of Uranus, the North Node, which Mars energizes! The whole thing is notably squared by the stellium of personal planets in Leo (Sun, Moon and Mercury), so it can form a particular “trigger factor”.
There is here a charge of emancipation not to be neglected, especially in all that can concern the socio-professional sphere, which seems the most directly and strongly impacted by these forces.
Note that this may require an analysis of what may have been awakened on the new Moon of May 30, and in particular what was played out in the second ten days of June, there may be correlations of cycles, the forces of personal affirmation were at their peak at this time, and we may be able to somehow “draw the consequences” of that, in this late July only…
The notion of “confronting authority” remains more prevalent with these energies, to assert our personal radiance (there can be “disputes and confrontations” even for that), to always, as I already said in the previous lunation, refocus on our fundamental karmic goals, these are important phases (for example, there is the notion of well understanding our natal North Node and Black Moon, to “better reach” the goal they represent)
If, for example, there are patterns of life (professional or relational) that no longer correspond, it may be time to turn the tables, even if this requires risk-taking, a break from our secure bases, there is a more acute feeling here that we can not have everything at once, on the one hand to feel free and independent, but on the other to have all the comfort possible, it’s necessary to make choices!
A lot will depend on how the Uranian transit in Taurus has been expressed in the medium term for you… and for several months now with its square to Saturn, which has been in place since 2021 especially, and which I have had the opportunity to talk about several times…
Depending on whether this transit was sensitive or not for you, depending on whether it pressed on this or that point of your birth chart, the triggering factor will be different but the charge of emancipation in relation to it will always be present (the conjunction of Mars forming a spark not to be neglected).
The notion of a “crisis of values” remains important over the period and this can inevitably require a lot of rethinking of our priorities, even in a rather excessive way I would say, by kicking the anthill compared to what could reassure us previously! (this can lead, for example, to an impulsive change of job or region, to try a new business, so there is nevertheless a “dynamic” to exploit)
The whole first half of the lunation will be destined to develop this and the various quadrature tensions will be fully active there, even the full Moon of August 12, 2022 is thus on Saturn Aquarius and is hardly more “calm”…
It’s only in mid-August that this Grand Fixed Cross figure really comes undone, and that it confirms a lot the notions of emancipation.
