July’s Full Moon in Capricorn

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” Thoreau

The Moon waxes full Monday July 3 at 7:39 AM EDT at 11 degrees of Capricorn. This Full Moon provides a good time  to consider what brings a sense of inner harmony and emotional fulfillment into your life and to create structures that support and sustain it. It’s a good time for a visit to a special place in nature.

The month of July holds some significant astrological activity.  The Lunar Nodes will move into the signs of Aries and Libra and square Pluto – indicating significant events.  Also Venus will station retrograde – the retrograde period will  last from July 22 to September 3. It will present a good time to review matters related to self esteem, personal values, love, autonomy, relationships  and finances.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is.”A student of nature lecturing, revealing little -known aspects of life.”

Neptune and New Dreams

“Spirituality isn’t an escape from the world, but an expansion of the world. The spiritual dimension enriches and sustains us -it does not limit or deny us, Spirituality is a celebration of life and love.” Diane Mariechild”

“Hark now hear the sailor’s cry,
Smell the sea and feel the sky,
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic.” Van Morrison

Whenever  a planet stations – either direct or retrograde- there is a window of opportunity. Planetary stations can represent the culmination of information and its wise for three days before and three days after the station to heighten awareness for subtle intuitions or realizations that may come. Neptune will  station at 27 degree of Pisces Friday 6/30 and travel retrograde until Dec 6.

The retrograde period offers a good time to make some space for new dreams. It is also a good time for spiritual growth and for integrating a higher level of spirituality into everyday life.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A fertile garden under the Full Moon.”
