Friday, July 31st: The Moon occupies Aquarius, the sign known as the disseminator of knowledge, for the whole day.

The Moon opposes the Sun, 5:43 AM: This is the Full Moon and it is known as a Blue Moon since it is the second full Moon occurring in the same calendar month. Our energy levels are very strong this morning and we are mostly focused on what our own emotional needs and desires are. Allow the full Moon to show you new ideas and new people that can support and champion your causes. On the dark side, narcissism and histrionics can also be produced by this planetary combination. For the rest of us, if you see some drama, turn right.

Venus, planet of personal desire and jealousy, retrogrades back into Leo, at 10:27 AM, for a 10-week stay. Venus in Leo indicates a time to remain focused on what really satisfies us and what makes up our sense of personal identity. This can be a delightful time where we lavish our inner child with anything that she wants. Because of the retrograde, we will be remembering both the times our needs were met, and the times our needs were denied. The retrograde Venus helps us to focus on having a better relationship with ourselves.

The Moon opposes Mercury, 9:26 PM: Our last aspect for the evening will have us looking for entertainment, distraction, or just doing something different to change up our routines. All of us will need some conversation and social interchange as these two planets combine.

All times are CDT.

Thursday, July 30th: The day begins with the Moon in Capricorn, but she does turn void-of-course in Capricorn, at 1:50 PM. She enters candid and direct Aquarius, at 4:40 PM, and is no longer void-of course. The void-of-course Moon today is short, so you should be able to work around it.

The Moon squares Uranus, 12:51 AM: If you are awake, this aspect can make it difficult to get to sleep. You will be more alert to strange noises and that may keep you sleeping with one eye open.

The Moon opposes Mars, 6:24 AM: When these two planets combine, we need physical expression and release of energy. It is an excellent morning to be cleaning the kitchen, out for morning jog, or playing some racquetball with your friends. The morning traffic may be more aggressive and hostile than usual. Find a pleasant route and take your time.

The Moon sextiles Saturn, 1:50 pm: We feel very productive this afternoon. When these two planets combine, it is such a favorable time for any type of goal setting, planning, or just getting things done on your own list. This can also be a really good time for doing those routine chores that we usually avoid.

The Moon is now void-of-course in Capricorn, at 1:50 PM. Stay with what’s on your current agenda and don’t add anything extra until the Moon enters Aquarius.

The Moon enters Aquarius, at 4:40 PM, and is no longer void-of course. As the Moon enters Aquarius, our perspective expands. This helps give us the vision and energy that we need to move forward.

There are no more lunar aspects for the rest of the day. Take it easy and don’t over load yourself.

All times are CDT.

Wednesday, July 29th: The Moon resides in Capricorn, the sign of practicality, for the whole day.

The Moon sextiles Neptune, 5:50 AM: This is a good morning to be out walking or jogging and enjoying the serenity of nature. Getting out and doing some tai chi on your patio will be just as useful.

The Moon conjuncts Pluto, 1:23 PM: Some of us are in a period where we can really look into how we feel and not be put off by some of the darker aspects that we encounter. For the rest of us, it is a favorable time to clean out your closet or the storage room at work.

All times are CDT.

Tuesday, July 28th: The Moon starts the day in Sagittarius, but she does turn void-of-course in Sagittarius, at 8:37 AM. She enters conservative Capricorn, at 1:47 PM, and is no longer void-of course. Try and get your important activities taken care of before or after the void-of-course Moon period.

The Moon trines Jupiter, 8:37 AM: We feel very positive about our day. The early morning is a better time to gain the larger perspective about our own reality.

The Moon is now void-of-course in Sagittarius, at 8:37 AM.

The Moon enters Capricorn, at 1:47 PM, and is no longer void-of-course. As the Moon enters work-oriented Capricorn, all of us will feel much more like accomplishing the tasks on our agenda.

The Moon trines Venus, 2:44 PM: The afternoon can be an especially productive time, especially if you have to deal with negotiations of any sort. We all feel more open to the other person’s point of view. Appeal to the other person’s desires, and avoid the hard sell.

All times are CDT.

Monday, July 27th: The Moon transits mind-expanding Sagittarius for the entire day.

The Moon squares Neptune, 12:44 AM: This aspect is perfect for meditation or sleeping! Enjoy!

During a major portion of the day, we do not have many lunar aspects to help activate and guide us through our day. We will still be able to get things done, but we won’t feel the same motivation as usual. Overall, it is a more relaxing week.

The Moon trines Uranus, 9:00 PM: This is an upbeat night to be out with friends, attending a lecture or a class, or watching your favorite movie. We will really value our freedom and independence this evening.

All times are CDT.

Sunday, July 26th: The day begins with the Moon in Scorpio, but she does turn void-of-course in Scorpio, at 4:14 AM. She enters positive and overly honest Sagittarius, at 7:24 AM, and is no longer void-of course.

The Moon squares Jupiter, 12:55 AM: We may be somewhat restless this early morning. You may need to find some distractions if you are interested in sleeping.

The Moon conjuncts Saturn, 4:14 AM: This is one of the best aspects to be sleeping through. If you’re awake, you are planning out your whole day, starting with what you have to do first.

The Moon is now void-of-course in Scorpio, at 4:14 AM.

Uranus, planet of social consciousness and personal freedom, turns Stationary Retrograde, at 5:38 AM. Uranus, in retrograde motion, indicates a time when we will continue to explore what personal freedom means to each one of us. But this exploration will be taken to a deeper and more personal level with the retrograde. Uranus will move in direct motion in December 2015.

The Moon enters Sagittarius, at 7:24 AM, and is no longer void-of course. We should feel positive and upbeat as the Moon enters Sagittarius.

The Moon squares Venus, 8:48 AM: Self indulgence is our emotional need this morning. This is a great morning to stay in bed, read your tablet for the morning news, and have a delicious cup of coffee. If you have to be somewhere, give yourself plenty of time to get there.

The Moon trines the Sun, 1:55 PM: We should really find the afternoon enjoyable. This is a great time to be around friends and family as long as there’s not too much planned activity.

The Moon trines Mercury, 9:26 PM: We feel much more “chatty” this evening. This is a great time to go to a movie, have a late dinner with friends, or do some online gaming. All of us want to relax.

Saturday, July 25th: The Moon spends another entire day in Scorpio, the sign of death and rebirth. This is another day where we don’t have a lot of lunar activity in the sky. And, with Venus turning Stationary Retrograde today, it will be best to set an easy and flexible pace as an agenda for the whole day. Nevertheless, our energy levels will be very strong; and may feel somewhat erratic, and possibly unmanageable.

The Moon sextiles Pluto, 12:23 AM: If you are awake, it is an ideal time to plan and organize. If you are asleep, you are clearing out some emotional garbage.

Venus turns Stationary Retrograde, at 4:29 AM. (She turns retrograde at zero-degrees Virgo and will retrograde back into Leo on July 31st and remain in Leo until October 8th.) We began to feel the effects of Venus retrograde back on July 15th. Now with Venus stationary, the effects of the retrograde are very strong. This will cause us to reassess everything in our lives in which we place value.

With relationships that are problematic, this is an excellent time to work on finding a resolution. This may be an excellent time to look at your financial affairs, or stock portfolio, but not the time to make adjustments, or invest in new options. Venus retrograde will make all of us a bit more self oriented.

Mars squares Uranus, 4:42 AM: This planetary combination helps to reinforce the whole idea that “we want to do only what we want to do”. And, with this aspect having been in effect for the last couple of days, we feel rebellious, somewhat bored, and are looking for some sort of adventure or fun. Since this aspect will continue to be in effect for the next 2 to 3 days, you will want to keep your exit strategy handy. All of us may not be sleeping well, and it may feel like we are all suffering from jet lag. Our patience may be nonexistent. On the positive side of this energy, if you have to tackle a problem that really requires you to think totally outside of the box, this energy can be really helpful. Otherwise, this is a promising time to get away, and do exactly what you want. And, remember other people are feeling this as well!

The Moon trines Mars, 1:49 PM: We feel fairly positive this afternoon. This is a wonderful time to get outside for some physical activity, take a drive to the beach, or just have lunch with friends. We try to keep everything light and happy.

All times are CDT.

Friday, July 24th: The Moon spends the whole day journeying through Scorpio, the sign symbolized by the Phoenix rising from the ashes. We don’t have a lot of lunar aspects today, so we may not feel very motivated. Keep your agenda and plans very realistic so you don’t try to overdo things.

The Moon squares Mercury, 12:05 AM: You could be still awake from the night before with this aspect. You need some form of distraction and entertainment. If you can sleep, you may experience a somewhat restless night.

The Moon trines Neptune, 3:41 PM: We connect with people psychically this afternoon. You may need some time for yourself, and you will certainly need to be aware of the people in your environment. Their problems could easily have a negative impact on you. This is the perfect time for an extra long coffee break.

All times are CDT.

Thursday, July 23rd: The Moon starts the day in Libra, but she does turn void-of-course in Libra, at 1:12 PM. She enters emotionally-deep Scorpio, at 9:07 PM, and is no longer void-of course. With the void-of-course Moon occurring in the middle of the day, try to get your more important activities taking care of before 1:00 PM or after 9:00 PM.

The Moon opposes Uranus, 2:02 AM: You still may be awake from the day before with this energy. You can also be having a very active and unusual dream night. If you are awake, you might as well get up and watch a movie and have a snack.

Mercury, planet of personal habits and daily activity, enters Leo, at 7:15 AM, for a 15-day stay. Mercury in Leo is a time when we want to focus on, and talk more about, ourselves. Also, we reach out verbally to show support to our loved ones!

The Moon sextiles Jupiter, 1:12 PM: Our sense of optimism is very strong this afternoon. In business, this is an excellent time to meet with clients and customers. We are more open and receptive to the point of view of others during this time.

The Moon turns void-of-course in Libra, at 1:12 PM. When the Moon goes void-of-course in Libra, you may need to focus more support on those relationships that need reassurance. A little attention will go a long way.

The Sun conjuncts Mercury, 2:24 PM: We feel confident about our thoughts and ideas today. We have been able to communicate our ideas more clearly than usual. And, with these two energies maintaining their connection for the next couple of days, all of us will think and speak more clearly. We do have to be careful to not take on too much detail, erstwhile we may lose some of our focus and momentum. This energy is really favorable for any type of writing, advertising or blogging.

The Moon enters Scorpio, at 9:07 PM, and is no longer void-of course. We feel more emotionally connected as the Moon enters Scorpio this late evening.

The Moon sextiles Venus, 10:36 PM: This is a desirable time to be in a familiar and comfortable place with people that you like and care about.

The Moon squares the Sun, 11:04 PM: We feel somewhat distracted because we are beginning to think about our activities for tomorrow. It would help to have someone around to bounce your ideas and views off of.

All times are CDT.

Wednesday, July 22nd: The Moon occupies Libra, the sign of the strategist, for the entire day. Since our first aspect of the day doesn’t occur until the afternoon, we may have somewhat of a slow start to our day.

The Moon squares Pluto, 12:36 PM: This is a perfect day to clear out the storeroom at work. Relationships may be tested this afternoon as comments will be laced with sarcasm and truth. Smile when you say that! You may need some time to yourself during lunch.

Mercury trines Saturn, 12:51 PM: Overall, we still feel the need to be productive. When Mercury, the organizer, meets up with Saturn, the goal setter, we strive to make best use of our time and energy. The energy of this transit is beneficial in any type of negotiations or presentations. This planetary combination also helps us to stay on track and not let us get lost in the detail. For most of us, this is a very good time to get all of those small tasks and chores completed at home and at work. This aspect is in effect for the next couple of days.

The Sun enters Leo, at 10:31 PM: The Sun enters the sign of Leo and remains there for approximately the next 30 days. When the Sun moves through Leo, our inner child wants to go out and play!

The Moon squares Mars, 11:04 PM: We feel a bit edgy and restless in the latter part of the evening. This could be an enjoyable time for some online gaming, or watching an action adventure movie. Your feelings are right on the surface. Watch what you say! This may also make it harder to sleep this evening.

All times are CDT.
