SATURDAY, 7/4/2020: This evening’s Full Moon (9:44 PM PDT 13° Capricorn/Cancer) places our focus squarely on issues of safety and security. However, with Saturn now back in Capricorn, there is a sharp pullback from any sort of attempt to integrate innovative advancement (new ideas) into our search for a sense of safety and security. However, our attempts to return to some kind of practical, traditional security do not offer the satisfaction we may be hoping for because the structures we’re used to relying upon have changed or no longer even look at all steady or safe. For some, this may be a shocking recognition that the foundations that we have relied upon are gone or unrecognizable. This Full Moon may seem to offer only a cold environment if we have hoped to find refuge in the safety of the past. The lesson is to find our safety internally rather than rely on the failing structures and traditions of the past.

The moon squares Mars this morning, so it’s very possible that you could wake up in a bad mood for no apparent reason. You may also wake up in a fine mood but later lose your temper or get more frustrated than usual over something you’d normally ignore. The key here is how you manage your anger. Since the moon is still working its way through Capricorn, you should be able to manage this well. Use the tenacious energy you get from that and your attention to detail to channel your anger in a healthy way.

Later, when the moon opposes Mercury, you may also find that it’s difficult to express what you’re thinking and feeling—or even know what you’re thinking and feeling. This along with the potential grumpiness you face today means that you’ll want to be careful to avoid any arguments. If you need to speak to someone about an issue, see if it can wait another day. Instead, talk to one of your mentors or someone who has always given you great advice.

The moon trines Uranus later this evening, and if you handled those situations well, you may sense a bit of relief at this time. However, if those discussions simply couldn’t be postponed, it will likely lead to some restlessness. Don’t take any sense of relief as a cue to stir the pot with someone you’ve worked hard to get along with. Whether you’re feeling relieved or restless, you should absolutely sleep on it, because the penumbral lunar eclipse begins tonight and completes tomorrow morning.

SUNDAY, 7/5/2020: Following last night’s Full Moon (9:44 PM PDT 13° Capricorn/Cancer), we may very well feel concern over the choices and sacrifices that we have made. Although it may seem especially difficult, we should try to spend as little time as possible crying over spilt milk — let it go and move on. Today’s sensitivity may either show us new opportunities or leave us feeling emotional and scattered. Either way, our emotions may be hard to control and our passions could easily spin us out of control. Self-discipline is certainly needed but escaping the feeling that discipline is only oppression is a challenge that may be difficult to overcome.

While you were likely sleeping, the penumbral lunar eclipse took place, and this is going to help reveal certain things to you throughout the day. You might realize that someone you’ve kept close isn’t pulling their weight in the relationship. Alternatively, you could recognize areas where you need to work a little bit harder to reach your highest potential. Since it’s a full moon, you can expect heightened energies to play with and heightened emotions to contend with.

There’s a Mercury-Venus semi-sextile early in the day, and you may find that repeating yourself is more frustrating than usual. Or it could get under your skin if people just simply don’t understand what you’re getting at. Push for the right words, but if you need to ask for more time to think about a response, do so.

When the moon conjoins Jupiter this evening, you could be in a warm and joyful mood. Shortly thereafter, the moon conjoins Pluto, opening the way for clarity and intuition to come through. A little journaling wouldn’t be a bad way to end this day.
