Monday, JULY 1
The Moon spends the day in reliable, earthy Taurus, but its alignment with Mars shortly after midday suggests strong emotions and desires and some tendency to impulsiveness. We’re connecting with our needs for comfort and predictability, and we’re ready to put some muscle behind achieving these goals. This aspect awakens emotional desire and stimulates a sense of urgency.
Today’s clever Mercury-Mars quintile helps us strategize and solve problems, but a Sun-Uranus semi-square tonight can stir some restlessness that may seem too generalized to put to productive use. We may want to shake things up, make changes, and break the routine.
However, we could also be tense if there are unexpected schedule changes or if we’re not in touch with what we need to change. In such times, it’s better to keep things simple.

Tuesday, JULY 2
Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, a period that will last until December 7th. This station may obscure our affairs, making it challenging to see things clearly this week. However, the retrograde cycle is not only a time of indecision or feeling in limbo. It’s a period of personal discovery and increased receptiveness–a time when we can grow and evolve. Despite the shift happening now, which may initially feel disappointing, it can lead us along a new and improved path.
Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo today, but before it does, it forms a trine to Neptune, encouraging us to tap into our imagination. With this transit, we more readily tune into and respond to our hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative, colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction.
While we may not be direct or definite, we see the way around obstacles. This transit favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.
Mercury transits Leo from today until the 25th. With Mercury in Leo in the weeks ahead, our thinking is confident and grand, and clearly defined goals motivate us. We are expressive, convincing, decisive, and persuasive. We want our voices and input heard.
It’s not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we must be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. For maximum absorption, we need to relate to information or create stories about it. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible or proud to change course.
A Venus-Saturn trine helps us sort out our feelings. We might demonstrate our affection through practical support, service, and shows of loyalty. This influence reminds us of the value of constancy and reliability. We approach love, relationships, money, or pleasure-seeking more maturely, responsibly, and with a level head. It can also be a time when we enjoy our responsibilities, work, or duties more than usual.
However, Mercury opposes Pluto early tomorrow, and its energies color tonight. With this transit, we can face some pressure to deal with problem areas. There can be mental tension, paranoid thoughts, or excessive suspicion to manage. We might either feel compelled to talk and question or withhold information. We can too quickly become embroiled in power struggles. However, if we aim to learn from our resentment, it can bring us closer to understanding what we truly want.
The Moon is void from 11:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 11:51 AM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Neptune now turns retrograde at 29° Pisces 56′Rx. It’s getting very close to the end of the sign of Pisces, but retrogrades before it moves on (Neptune will only enter Aries in March 2025).
Each year, Neptune retrogrades for approximately 5 months.
- Neptune enters the Retrograde Zone on March 11, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune stations and turns retrograde on July 2, 2024, at 29° Pisces 56′ Rx
- Neptune stations and turns direct on December 7, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune leaves the Retrograde Zone on March 28, 2025, at 29° Pisces 56′
Note that retrograde times are approximate.
The Neptune retrograde cycle is a period of increased receptiveness, even if we’re putting some of our dreams on hold. It can be a time of indecision or feeling in limbo, but it can also be a period of personal discovery. We may feel let down by a matter when the shift happens, but this can lead us along a new and improved path.

Mercury is in Leo from July 2nd to 25th, 2024. [Due to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde, it will return to Leo from August 14th to September 9th, 2024]
When Mercury is in Leo, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus is now on the goal–and the grander a goal the better! The details may not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence.
We are also more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or write. With this transit, we may not listen as well as we normally do since we’re very focused on our own ideas.
We’re also strong about making decisions ourselves and letting our voices and input be heard. This is not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we need to be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. We need to relate to information or create stories about it to absorb it well. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible, proud, or haughty to change course.

Wednesday, JULY 3
Early today, Mercury opposes Pluto, and we can be stressed or frustrated. We’re unhappy with superficial thinking and ambiguities, but we could be going too far with our investigations or suspicions.
The Moon spends the day in Gemini, and as the day advances, we feel much lighter. We’re following our curiosity.
Later today, we approach a Sun-Venus parallel, which promotes harmony and cooperation, and a Mercury-Jupiter parallel, which boosts our optimism and vision. It’s easier to extend the benefit of the doubt to one another. We’re in great shape for understanding, teaching, absorbing, and learning.

Thursday, JULY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:52 PM EDT, after which the Cancer Moon is more insular. We’re connecting with our needs for nurture, roots, safety, and familiarity.
A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.
With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn tonight, however, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for editing work, identifying flaws, or fixing problems, allowing us to be proactive rather than unhealthily focused on problem areas.
The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:52 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
Details
The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational and intimate, feelings; recognizing the sense of security and safety we derive from whatever it is we call home; allowing ourselves to accept support and offering support to others; and starting a project aimed at improving our domestic lives or a major long-term venture.
With this potent Cancer energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle.
It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. Concentrate on new ways to enhance family life and domestic affairs, and to build up your feelings of security and safety.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 14 degrees and 23 minutes of Cancer, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 10 to 18 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
The above chart wheel is excellent for visualizing essential chart patterns as it shows the positions of the major or core bodies.

Venus enters Leo
Venus is in Leo from July 11-August 4, 2024.
Love is magnificent and grand while Venus is in Leo. We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a good or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a strong desire to stand out and feel special during this period.

Mars enters Gemini
Mars is in Gemini from July 20th to September 4th, 2024.
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Fun fact: The last time Mars was in Gemini, it stayed for a long time due to a retrograde cycle.

The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT. The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024
Details
The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024 — this is the second one (the first Full Moon in Capricorn occurred a month ago–on June 21st).
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Cancer forms an opposition to the Moon in Capricorn at 6:17 AM EDT on July 21st, 2024. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
To understand this Full Moon, we need to recognize that the Cancer-Capricorn polarity concerns the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn.
In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. Cancer encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public or professional lines. While Cancer may be content to be dependent, Capricorn urges us to be grown-up and responsible.
Cancer represents the origin, and Capricorn represents the goal. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between roots and direction. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This lunation connects with Pluto and engages harmoniously with Neptune, Mars, and Uranus, suggesting we have the support, determination, and resources to realize our dreams. It’s a fruitful and ambitious period.
Occurring in the last degree of Capricorn, this Full Moon feels more urgent, but it also rounds out our feelings with further matter to consider compared to last month’s Full Moon in the sign, when we were fresh and still a little naive. We can experience powerful, well-formed realizations, perhaps with the final word or decisive revelations on a matter.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Cancer, and affecting planets at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most.

Sun enters Leo
The Sun is in Leo from July 22-August 22, 2024. In Leo, the Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful. The Leo Sun is intensely individual—not content with simply being just one of the team. It’s time to shine, add a touch of color and drama to our lives, and perform.
We’re blossoming–it’s a time when we want to enjoy ourselves and express ourselves. We are more generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain.
![Sun in Leo](https://cafeastrology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/suninleo.png)
Sun in Leo
While the Sun is in Leo, we take the high road, and we’re very often motivated by the idea of gaining respect and affection. We more naturally express our joy, humor, and warmth during the Sun-in-Leo cycle. We also tend to take the lead or become the center of attention and activity.

Mercury enters Virgo
Mercury is in Virgo from July 25-August 14th and September 9-26, 2024. [In two sets and extended due to an upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle]
When Mercury is in Virgo, precision in speech, thought, and process are more important to us. This is a time when we analyze and decide what is useful and what we deem to be impractical.
Mercury feels right at home in Virgo, one of the signs that it rules (Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo). Dealing with details is natural and easy now. We need to be careful that we don’t lose perspective if we find ourselves lost in details, however.
While Mercury is in Virgo, we should also be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves in a too factual manner, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.
We gravitate to useful information, and we can enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or to see the bigger picture as our confidence in so doing is not strong at this time. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.
While Mercury is in Virgo in 2024, it forms the following aspects:
This list excludes the Moon. Major aspect dates are in bold.

- Jul 30, 2024 6:13 AM Mercury biquintile True Node
- Aug 7, 2024 11:12 PM Mercury Rx 3 Virgo 44 conjunction Venus 3 Virgo 44 – We’re inclined to analyze feelings or relationships, particularly past ones. We tend to chat, socialize, and flatter when Mercury and Venus meet, and with Mercury retrograde, we look back and clarify feelings or connections and intellectualize emotions and affections. This is a cooperative influence that stimulates our desire for harmony and balance, and as a result, we may not dig too deeply. Mentally, we’re not as disciplined as usual, preferring to chat with others and think about pleasant things. It’s a friendly time, but it’s also a time for looking back at old issues in a new, although possibly glossed-over, way. Whether or not glossing over is helpful is the question — some things belong in the past. Indeed, our ideas feel new and exciting, even if we are recycling old perspectives.

We’re strong-minded and mentally busy, forthright, forthcoming, and direct. Needing intellectual stimulation, we’re ready to debate but also enjoy discussions.

Monday, JULY 1
The Moon spends the day in reliable, earthy Taurus, but its alignment with Mars shortly after midday suggests strong emotions and desires and some tendency to impulsiveness. We’re connecting with our needs for comfort and predictability, and we’re ready to put some muscle behind achieving these goals. This aspect awakens emotional desire and stimulates a sense of urgency.
Today’s clever Mercury-Mars quintile helps us strategize and solve problems, but a Sun-Uranus semi-square tonight can stir some restlessness that may seem too generalized to put to productive use. We may want to shake things up, make changes, and break the routine.
However, we could also be tense if there are unexpected schedule changes or if we’re not in touch with what we need to change. In such times, it’s better to keep things simple.

Details
Tuesday, JULY 2
Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, a period that will last until December 7th. This station may obscure our affairs, making it challenging to see things clearly this week. However, the retrograde cycle is not only a time of indecision or feeling in limbo. It’s a period of personal discovery and increased receptiveness–a time when we can grow and evolve. Despite the shift happening now, which may initially feel disappointing, it can lead us along a new and improved path.
Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo today, but before it does, it forms a trine to Neptune, encouraging us to tap into our imagination. With this transit, we more readily tune into and respond to our hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative, colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction.
While we may not be direct or definite, we see the way around obstacles. This transit favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.
Mercury transits Leo from today until the 25th. With Mercury in Leo in the weeks ahead, our thinking is confident and grand, and clearly defined goals motivate us. We are expressive, convincing, decisive, and persuasive. We want our voices and input heard.
It’s not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we must be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. For maximum absorption, we need to relate to information or create stories about it. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible or proud to change course.
A Venus-Saturn trine helps us sort out our feelings. We might demonstrate our affection through practical support, service, and shows of loyalty. This influence reminds us of the value of constancy and reliability. We approach love, relationships, money, or pleasure-seeking more maturely, responsibly, and with a level head. It can also be a time when we enjoy our responsibilities, work, or duties more than usual.
However, Mercury opposes Pluto early tomorrow, and its energies color tonight. With this transit, we can face some pressure to deal with problem areas. There can be mental tension, paranoid thoughts, or excessive suspicion to manage. We might either feel compelled to talk and question or withhold information. We can too quickly become embroiled in power struggles. However, if we aim to learn from our resentment, it can bring us closer to understanding what we truly want.
The Moon is void from 11:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 11:51 AM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Neptune now turns retrograde at 29° Pisces 56′Rx. It’s getting very close to the end of the sign of Pisces, but retrogrades before it moves on (Neptune will only enter Aries in March 2025).
Each year, Neptune retrogrades for approximately 5 months.
- Neptune enters the Retrograde Zone on March 11, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune stations and turns retrograde on July 2, 2024, at 29° Pisces 56′ Rx
- Neptune stations and turns direct on December 7, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune leaves the Retrograde Zone on March 28, 2025, at 29° Pisces 56′
Note that retrograde times are approximate.
The Neptune retrograde cycle is a period of increased receptiveness, even if we’re putting some of our dreams on hold. It can be a time of indecision or feeling in limbo, but it can also be a period of personal discovery. We may feel let down by a matter when the shift happens, but this can lead us along a new and improved path.

Mercury enters Leo
Mercury is in Leo from July 2nd to 25th, 2024. [Due to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde, it will return to Leo from August 14th to September 9th, 2024]
When Mercury is in Leo, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus is now on the goal–and the grander a goal the better! The details may not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence.
We are also more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or write. With this transit, we may not listen as well as we normally do since we’re very focused on our own ideas.
We’re also strong about making decisions ourselves and letting our voices and input be heard. This is not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we need to be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. We need to relate to information or create stories about it to absorb it well. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible, proud, or haughty to change course.

Wednesday, JULY 3
Early today, Mercury opposes Pluto, and we can be stressed or frustrated. We’re unhappy with superficial thinking and ambiguities, but we could be going too far with our investigations or suspicions.
The Moon spends the day in Gemini, and as the day advances, we feel much lighter. We’re following our curiosity.
Later today, we approach a Sun-Venus parallel, which promotes harmony and cooperation, and a Mercury-Jupiter parallel, which boosts our optimism and vision. It’s easier to extend the benefit of the doubt to one another. We’re in great shape for understanding, teaching, absorbing, and learning.

Thursday, JULY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:52 PM EDT, after which the Cancer Moon is more insular. We’re connecting with our needs for nurture, roots, safety, and familiarity.
A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.
With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn tonight, however, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for editing work, identifying flaws, or fixing problems, allowing us to be proactive rather than unhealthily focused on problem areas.
The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:52 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
Details
The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational and intimate, feelings; recognizing the sense of security and safety we derive from whatever it is we call home; allowing ourselves to accept support and offering support to others; and starting a project aimed at improving our domestic lives or a major long-term venture.
With this potent Cancer energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle.
It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. Concentrate on new ways to enhance family life and domestic affairs, and to build up your feelings of security and safety.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 14 degrees and 23 minutes of Cancer, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 10 to 18 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
The above chart wheel is excellent for visualizing essential chart patterns as it shows the positions of the major or core bodies.

Venus enters Leo
Venus is in Leo from July 11-August 4, 2024.
Love is magnificent and grand while Venus is in Leo. We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a good or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a strong desire to stand out and feel special during this period.

Mars enters Gemini
Mars is in Gemini from July 20th to September 4th, 2024.
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Fun fact: The last time Mars was in Gemini, it stayed for a long time due to a retrograde cycle.

The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT. The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024
Details
The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024 — this is the second one (the first Full Moon in Capricorn occurred a month ago–on June 21st).
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Cancer forms an opposition to the Moon in Capricorn at 6:17 AM EDT on July 21st, 2024. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
To understand this Full Moon, we need to recognize that the Cancer-Capricorn polarity concerns the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn.
In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. Cancer encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public or professional lines. While Cancer may be content to be dependent, Capricorn urges us to be grown-up and responsible.
Cancer represents the origin, and Capricorn represents the goal. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between roots and direction. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This lunation connects with Pluto and engages harmoniously with Neptune, Mars, and Uranus, suggesting we have the support, determination, and resources to realize our dreams. It’s a fruitful and ambitious period.
Occurring in the last degree of Capricorn, this Full Moon feels more urgent, but it also rounds out our feelings with further matter to consider compared to last month’s Full Moon in the sign, when we were fresh and still a little naive. We can experience powerful, well-formed realizations, perhaps with the final word or decisive revelations on a matter.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Cancer, and affecting planets at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most.

Sun enters Leo
The Sun is in Leo from July 22-August 22, 2024. In Leo, the Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful. The Leo Sun is intensely individual—not content with simply being just one of the team. It’s time to shine, add a touch of color and drama to our lives, and perform.
We’re blossoming–it’s a time when we want to enjoy ourselves and express ourselves. We are more generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain.
![Sun in Leo](https://cafeastrology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/suninleo.png)
Sun in Leo
While the Sun is in Leo, we take the high road, and we’re very often motivated by the idea of gaining respect and affection. We more naturally express our joy, humor, and warmth during the Sun-in-Leo cycle. We also tend to take the lead or become the center of attention and activity.

Mercury enters Virgo
Mercury is in Virgo from July 25-August 14th and September 9-26, 2024. [In two sets and extended due to an upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle]
When Mercury is in Virgo, precision in speech, thought, and process are more important to us. This is a time when we analyze and decide what is useful and what we deem to be impractical.
Mercury feels right at home in Virgo, one of the signs that it rules (Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo). Dealing with details is natural and easy now. We need to be careful that we don’t lose perspective if we find ourselves lost in details, however.
While Mercury is in Virgo, we should also be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves in a too factual manner, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.
We gravitate to useful information, and we can enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or to see the bigger picture as our confidence in so doing is not strong at this time. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.
While Mercury is in Virgo in 2024, it forms the following aspects:
This list excludes the Moon. Major aspect dates are in bold.
- Jul 26, 2024 8:49 PM Mercury 0 Virgo 47 quincunx Pluto 0 Aquarius 47
- Jul 30, 2024 6:13 AM Mercury biquintile True Node
- Aug 7, 2024 11:12 PM Mercury Rx 3 Virgo 44 conjunction Venus 3 Virgo 44 – We’re inclined to analyze feelings or relationships, particularly past ones. We tend to chat, socialize, and flatter when Mercury and Venus meet, and with Mercury retrograde, we look back and clarify feelings or connections and intellectualize emotions and affections. This is a cooperative influence that stimulates our desire for harmony and balance, and as a result, we may not dig too deeply. Mentally, we’re not as disciplined as usual, preferring to chat with others and think about pleasant things. It’s a friendly time, but it’s also a time for looking back at old issues in a new, although possibly glossed-over, way. Whether or not glossing over is helpful is the question — some things belong in the past. Indeed, our ideas feel new and exciting, even if we are recycling old perspectives.

- Sep 10, 2024 11:50 AM Mercury quintile Jupiter
- Sep 11, 2024 11:42 PM Mercury 4 Virgo 22 sextile Mars 4 Cancer 22 – We’re working well, quickly, and with resourcefulness. We’re strong-minded and mentally busy, forthright, forthcoming, and direct. Needing intellectual stimulation, we’re ready to debate but also enjoy discussions. It can be a time of wheeling and dealing, mechanical work, manual dexterity, and reporting.

- Sep 18, 2024 4:50 AM Mercury 15 Virgo 15 opposition Saturn 15 Pisces 15 – We may communicate harshly, sparingly, or reluctantly. It can be difficult to trust our instincts, and we second-guess things automatically. Doubts might slow down our movements and initiatives.
- Sep 18, 2024 7:01 PM Mercury biquintile Chiron
- Sep 21, 2024 4:49 AM Mercury 20 Virgo 49 square Jupiter 20 Gemini 49 – A time of optimism but some overestimation and frivolity. We may have difficulty realizing plans or might suffer from imprecision or sloppiness mentally and with details. We may be communicating too much or too soon, or our minds are racing ahead. We should watch for investing too much in what’s to come or what’s possible, overlooking current opportunities in the process.

Monday, JULY 1
The Moon spends the day in reliable, earthy Taurus, but its alignment with Mars shortly after midday suggests strong emotions and desires and some tendency to impulsiveness. We’re connecting with our needs for comfort and predictability, and we’re ready to put some muscle behind achieving these goals. This aspect awakens emotional desire and stimulates a sense of urgency.
Today’s clever Mercury-Mars quintile helps us strategize and solve problems, but a Sun-Uranus semi-square tonight can stir some restlessness that may seem too generalized to put to productive use. We may want to shake things up, make changes, and break the routine.
However, we could also be tense if there are unexpected schedule changes or if we’re not in touch with what we need to change. In such times, it’s better to keep things simple.

Details
Tuesday, JULY 2
Neptune stations and turns retrograde today, a period that will last until December 7th. This station may obscure our affairs, making it challenging to see things clearly this week. However, the retrograde cycle is not only a time of indecision or feeling in limbo. It’s a period of personal discovery and increased receptiveness–a time when we can grow and evolve. Despite the shift happening now, which may initially feel disappointing, it can lead us along a new and improved path.
Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo today, but before it does, it forms a trine to Neptune, encouraging us to tap into our imagination. With this transit, we more readily tune into and respond to our hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative, colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction.
While we may not be direct or definite, we see the way around obstacles. This transit favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.
Mercury transits Leo from today until the 25th. With Mercury in Leo in the weeks ahead, our thinking is confident and grand, and clearly defined goals motivate us. We are expressive, convincing, decisive, and persuasive. We want our voices and input heard.
It’s not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we must be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. For maximum absorption, we need to relate to information or create stories about it. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible or proud to change course.
A Venus-Saturn trine helps us sort out our feelings. We might demonstrate our affection through practical support, service, and shows of loyalty. This influence reminds us of the value of constancy and reliability. We approach love, relationships, money, or pleasure-seeking more maturely, responsibly, and with a level head. It can also be a time when we enjoy our responsibilities, work, or duties more than usual.
However, Mercury opposes Pluto early tomorrow, and its energies color tonight. With this transit, we can face some pressure to deal with problem areas. There can be mental tension, paranoid thoughts, or excessive suspicion to manage. We might either feel compelled to talk and question or withhold information. We can too quickly become embroiled in power struggles. However, if we aim to learn from our resentment, it can bring us closer to understanding what we truly want.
The Moon is void from 11:44 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 11:51 AM EDT (a brief VOC period).

Neptune now turns retrograde at 29° Pisces 56′Rx. It’s getting very close to the end of the sign of Pisces, but retrogrades before it moves on (Neptune will only enter Aries in March 2025).
Each year, Neptune retrogrades for approximately 5 months.
- Neptune enters the Retrograde Zone on March 11, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune stations and turns retrograde on July 2, 2024, at 29° Pisces 56′ Rx
- Neptune stations and turns direct on December 7, 2024, at 27° Pisces 08′
- Neptune leaves the Retrograde Zone on March 28, 2025, at 29° Pisces 56′
Note that retrograde times are approximate.
The Neptune retrograde cycle is a period of increased receptiveness, even if we’re putting some of our dreams on hold. It can be a time of indecision or feeling in limbo, but it can also be a period of personal discovery. We may feel let down by a matter when the shift happens, but this can lead us along a new and improved path.

Mercury is in Leo from July 2nd to 25th, 2024. [Due to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde, it will return to Leo from August 14th to September 9th, 2024]
When Mercury is in Leo, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus is now on the goal–and the grander a goal the better! The details may not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence.
We are also more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or write. With this transit, we may not listen as well as we normally do since we’re very focused on our own ideas.
We’re also strong about making decisions ourselves and letting our voices and input be heard. This is not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we need to be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. We need to relate to information or create stories about it to absorb it well. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible, proud, or haughty to change course.

Wednesday, JULY 3
Early today, Mercury opposes Pluto, and we can be stressed or frustrated. We’re unhappy with superficial thinking and ambiguities, but we could be going too far with our investigations or suspicions.
The Moon spends the day in Gemini, and as the day advances, we feel much lighter. We’re following our curiosity.
Later today, we approach a Sun-Venus parallel, which promotes harmony and cooperation, and a Mercury-Jupiter parallel, which boosts our optimism and vision. It’s easier to extend the benefit of the doubt to one another. We’re in great shape for understanding, teaching, absorbing, and learning.

Thursday, JULY 4
The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:52 PM EDT, after which the Cancer Moon is more insular. We’re connecting with our needs for nurture, roots, safety, and familiarity.
A Mars-Juno trine encourages us to be direct with one another today. Our relationships strengthen as we share power and validate one another’s input and opinions. We act with more purpose and resolve but also have a strong awareness of other issues and others’ agendas, which is a powerful combination.
With Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Saturn tonight, however, we should watch for hypersensitivity, negative thinking, and unhelpful criticism. It’s a somewhat beneficial influence for editing work, identifying flaws, or fixing problems, allowing us to be proactive rather than unhealthily focused on problem areas.
The Moon is void from 4:44 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:52 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).

The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
Details
The Moon is New in Cancer on July 5, 2024, at 6:58 PM EDT.
The New Moon in Cancer is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Crab. These include honoring our deepest, most irrational and intimate, feelings; recognizing the sense of security and safety we derive from whatever it is we call home; allowing ourselves to accept support and offering support to others; and starting a project aimed at improving our domestic lives or a major long-term venture.
With this potent Cancer energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle.
It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. Concentrate on new ways to enhance family life and domestic affairs, and to build up your feelings of security and safety.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 14 degrees and 23 minutes of Cancer, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 10 to 18 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
The above chart wheel is excellent for visualizing essential chart patterns as it shows the positions of the major or core bodies.

Venus enters Leo
Venus is in Leo from July 11-August 4, 2024.
Love is magnificent and grand while Venus is in Leo. We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a good or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a strong desire to stand out and feel special during this period.

Mars enters Gemini
Mars is in Gemini from July 20th to September 4th, 2024.
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Fun fact: The last time Mars was in Gemini, it stayed for a long time due to a retrograde cycle.

The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT. The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024
Details
The Moon is Full in Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 AM EDT.
The following is the chart wheel of the Capricorn Full Moon in the year 2024 — this is the second one (the first Full Moon in Capricorn occurred a month ago–on June 21st).
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Cancer forms an opposition to the Moon in Capricorn at 6:17 AM EDT on July 21st, 2024. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
To understand this Full Moon, we need to recognize that the Cancer-Capricorn polarity concerns the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn.
In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. Cancer encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public or professional lines. While Cancer may be content to be dependent, Capricorn urges us to be grown-up and responsible.
Cancer represents the origin, and Capricorn represents the goal. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between roots and direction. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems.
Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This lunation connects with Pluto and engages harmoniously with Neptune, Mars, and Uranus, suggesting we have the support, determination, and resources to realize our dreams. It’s a fruitful and ambitious period.
Occurring in the last degree of Capricorn, this Full Moon feels more urgent, but it also rounds out our feelings with further matter to consider compared to last month’s Full Moon in the sign, when we were fresh and still a little naive. We can experience powerful, well-formed realizations, perhaps with the final word or decisive revelations on a matter.
The following is a chart of this Full Moon with additional points:
This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Cancer, and affecting planets at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most.

The Sun is in Leo from July 22-August 22, 2024. In Leo, the Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful. The Leo Sun is intensely individual—not content with simply being just one of the team. It’s time to shine, add a touch of color and drama to our lives, and perform.
We’re blossoming–it’s a time when we want to enjoy ourselves and express ourselves. We are more generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain.

Sun in Leo
While the Sun is in Leo, we take the high road, and we’re very often motivated by the idea of gaining respect and affection. We more naturally express our joy, humor, and warmth during the Sun-in-Leo cycle. We also tend to take the lead or become the center of attention and activity.

Mercury enters Virgo
Mercury is in Virgo from July 25-August 14th and September 9-26, 2024. [In two sets and extended due to an upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle]
When Mercury is in Virgo, precision in speech, thought, and process are more important to us. This is a time when we analyze and decide what is useful and what we deem to be impractical.
Mercury feels right at home in Virgo, one of the signs that it rules (Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo). Dealing with details is natural and easy now. We need to be careful that we don’t lose perspective if we find ourselves lost in details, however.
While Mercury is in Virgo, we should also be aware of the possibility of expressing ourselves in a too factual manner, so much so that we come across as dry, critical, or unimaginative.
We gravitate to useful information, and we can enjoy helping others with our knowledge. It’s a time for analyzing and dissecting, but we need other influences to put the pieces together or to see the bigger picture as our confidence in so doing is not strong at this time. It’s a time of conservative thinking and a strong tendency to want facts and certainties.
While Mercury is in Virgo in 2024, it forms the following aspects:
This list excludes the Moon. Major aspect dates are in bold.
- Jul 26, 2024 8:49 PM Mercury 0 Virgo 47 quincunx Pluto 0 Aquarius 47
- Jul 30, 2024 6:13 AM Mercury biquintile True Node
- Aug 7, 2024 11:12 PM Mercury Rx 3 Virgo 44 conjunction Venus 3 Virgo 44 – We’re inclined to analyze feelings or relationships, particularly past ones. We tend to chat, socialize, and flatter when Mercury and Venus meet, and with Mercury retrograde, we look back and clarify feelings or connections and intellectualize emotions and affections. This is a cooperative influence that stimulates our desire for harmony and balance, and as a result, we may not dig too deeply. Mentally, we’re not as disciplined as usual, preferring to chat with others and think about pleasant things. It’s a friendly time, but it’s also a time for looking back at old issues in a new, although possibly glossed-over, way. Whether or not glossing over is helpful is the question — some things belong in the past. Indeed, our ideas feel new and exciting, even if we are recycling old perspectives.

Second part of the Mercury in Virgo transit:
- Sep 9, 2024 3:15 PM Mercury biquintile True Node
- Sep 10, 2024 11:50 AM Mercury quintile Jupiter
- Sep 11, 2024 11:42 PM Mercury 4 Virgo 22 sextile Mars 4 Cancer 22 – We’re working well, quickly, and with resourcefulness. We’re strong-minded and mentally busy, forthright, forthcoming, and direct. Needing intellectual stimulation, we’re ready to debate but also enjoy discussions. It can be a time of wheeling and dealing, mechanical work, manual dexterity, and reporting.
- Sep 13, 2024 9:49 AM Mercury 6 Virgo 44 quincunx True Node 6 Aries 44
- Sep 13, 2024 9:14 PM Mercury 7 Virgo 32 sesquiquadrate Chiron 22 Aries 32
- Sep 17, 2024 10:34 PM Mercury 14 Virgo 47 sesquiquadrate Pluto 29 Capricorn 47
- Sep 18, 2024 4:50 AM Mercury 15 Virgo 15 opposition Saturn 15 Pisces 15 – We may communicate harshly, sparingly, or reluctantly. It can be difficult to trust our instincts, and we second-guess things automatically. Doubts might slow down our movements and initiatives.
- Sep 18, 2024 7:01 PM Mercury biquintile Chiron
- Sep 21, 2024 4:49 AM Mercury 20 Virgo 49 square Jupiter 20 Gemini 49 – A time of optimism but some overestimation and frivolity. We may have difficulty realizing plans or might suffer from imprecision or sloppiness mentally and with details. We may be communicating too much or too soon, or our minds are racing ahead. We should watch for investing too much in what’s to come or what’s possible, overlooking current opportunities in the process.

Take full advantage of the SORTS and filters. You can scroll through upcoming and past months. You can also sort events by the following categories:
- Daily Overviews
- Lunations
- Planetary Stations
- Planetary Ingresses
- Aspects
The FILTER EVENTS option can be useful for showing only the lunations (New and Full Moons) in any given month or only the Daily Overviews, for example. Note that I only started this calendar format in April 2017 and it’s ultimately going to replace the calendars I have used for the past 15 years. The Monthly Calendars page will remain, however, since it shows details not addressed in this calendar. Daily Overviews will be added as we go along.
Daily Overviews Only
If you want only to focus on the daily overviews, see Daily Trends Calendar.
Year Format
The yearly format is found on this page: Yearly Astrology Calendar.
