This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on June 21, 2020, 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.
Be careful with your emotions
Mercury in Cancer just entered retrograde shortly after mid-June, thus adding to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, bringing an additional level of introversion, and always underlining the important confrontation that takes place during the period between the energies of Air and Water, between the mental, intellectual, rational forces, and the more receptive, sensitive and emotional energies.
Symbolically on the other hand, this new moon really marks the influence of the water element that sits in place over the period, and which clearly can exacerbate feelings but also risks making it more difficult to externalize these feelings, to verbalize them, to understand them, to make oneself understood, each one diving into “their own world” and having difficulty understanding the other’s world and their feelings…
It’s also a solar eclipse, since the new moon rises near the North Node, this marks an important karmic influence which may require a powerful refocusing on our fundamental goals of incarnation (whatever they may be according to one’s birth chart, analyze one’s natal North Node in particular).
The resumption of Venus’ direct motion will definitely not delay around June 25 while it’s stationary in the medium term on the 1st decan of Gemini, all the 1st Mutable decans can be particularly receptive and impacted by this period (Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), the affective / relational sphere requiring special attention.
On June 28th, the planet Mars invests its home of Aries, in the square of the lunar nodes which change colors little by little by going up the axis Sagittarius / Gemini, this very month ending can be quite tense, quite a lot of quadrature tensions are expressed in the sky, and just as much as it could be expressed through different confrontations in normal times, in this case, it may rather be repressed inside and risk boiling, hurting, gnawing, but without necessarily being able to really emerge.
The full Moon of July 05, 2020 will directly highlight the energies of the Capricorn stellium, retrograde Saturn having just returned to its home, its Earth is strengthened but this may also require more time and patience in terms of structuring, and clearly the first fortnight of July could give the impression of speeding things up and hitting the brakes at the same time !
The Mercury retrograde / Mars square will be fully active during this period and typically this is the kind of aspect that creates nervousness but also requires you to gnaw your inner brake, to hold back, to control yourself… And it will be necessary to wait for the second dekad of July to begin finding better exteriorizations and to have better dynamic capacities, Mercury already going straight back in direct motion (the kind of little pebbles you gladly take off from your shoe! 🙂 ).
