In an article, NASA explains that these names for the full moon of July come from an old almanac, where the Native Americans gave these two names, because this is the time when deer and young reindeer show their horns. while also during this season summer storms often appear. But for astrologers, this year's full moon in July will be a compelling moon.
This is a moon that is accompanied by difficult aspects, aspects that bring tension, irritability, limitations, exaggerations, unfulfilled desires and lost opportunities and dreams, says the astrologer Alinda Kanaki in a relevant article in alindakanaki.gr.
The main aspect that accompanies it is a cross with Aphrodite, a difficult aspect that refers to difficulties in our emotional relationships but also karmic imbalances that afflict us. Venus, on the other hand, contrasts with the retrograde Jupiter, an aspect that is accompanied by irritation, something that is intensified by the plain stars involved in this Full Moon.
Aquarius who is activated through the present Full Moon seeks new experiences, new knowledge, adventure, freedom of expression and movement, while his contribution to every scientific field is important, as under his influence important scientific discoveries are made. The time we are going through, and as the Full Moon symbolizes the end of a cycle, may the efforts to create something completely new and pioneering, which will be presented to us in a short time, be completed. The first dean of Aquarius, in which the Full Moon takes place, has Aphrodite and Saturn as its rulers and is associated with diseases, while according to some astrologers, this dean has a karmic tinge, indicating poverty and endless toil, as well as slavery. Characteristic is the expression given to him, as "the sign of exile"!
Aphrodite, who plays a dominant role in the Full Moon of July, has moved to Virgo and is in second place. This position foreshadows issues that will arise in the fields of economy, diplomatic relations of countries but also personal relations. Virgo rules the 4th (buildings and land, crops and subsoil, earthquakes and weather conditions, as well as the opposition), the 11th (parliament, legislation, aviation, technological achievements and diplomatic relations) and the 1st house (people, public health and state affairs) of the Full Moon map, having an adverse effect on peoples, as it is predicted to bring outbreaks of disease, disaster and the use of weapons. Disagreements between country leaders are expected to escalate, religious fanaticism is on the rise, and disputes over places of worship and sacred sites of religions may bring us to the brink of armed conflict.
The Full Moon in Aquarius is sandwiched between Saturn and Pluto, and the two planets are currently retrograde, although they are significantly far from being in conjunction with the Moon, their influence still remains measurable. Saturn's involvement foreshadows the resumption of the restrictions we experienced in the first months of the year, which will not be welcomed at all. We will feel under suffocating control, which can lead us to reactions, since Aquarius has the revolutionary Uranus as his ruler. The resumption of restrictions is intended to teach us a lesson that we have obviously not yet learned, so that we can open the new avenues that should and will lead us to the next day.
As for the involvement of the retrograde Pluto, it emphasizes the need to get rid of what is obsolete, unnecessary and useless. We need to clear our lives, leave anything useless or non-functional behind us, and move forward with as few burdens as possible, individually or collectively, at the societal level. This can translate into closing the cycle of toxic political leaders or even our need to turn the page on financial management at country level.
However, the strongest planetary influences come at this stage from Venus and Jupiter, which are involved in cross-sections in relation to the Moon and Sun, while forming a contrast between Virgo and Pisces respectively. The full Moon-Venus cross intensifies our need for affection and love, but also brings a lot of tension to our emotional relationships. The moments when one will expect or need emotional coverage and love from one's partner, it will not come, at least to the extent that one will need or expect it. And then the slightest thing in our partner's behavior will start to bother us. In an alternative scenario we may feel insecure about ourselves, out of balance, which will be reflected in our relationships with our loved ones, causing friction.
Whatever the cause of the problems that will arise in relationships, we must keep in mind that these will be issues that will return from time to time, resulting in a long period of tension and friction. The only way to deal with the situation is to find the root of the problem and try to cure the issues on the basis of them.
And the cross-faced Sun-retro Jupiter also brings tension to relationships and is reflected in the level of personal success in life. If you focus on your personal success, setting aside your emotional life, you can escape the tensions with your partner and achieve some success in your professional or social life, but at the same time you will feel that you have sacrificed something very important for success. But this aspect is intertwined with greed and addictions, which at some point lead us to guilt. Only with moderation and self-control can we maintain a balanced attitude during this time. And because we tend to deal with a hundred cases at once, believing that we can do everything, it is advisable to focus our attention and effort on one thing at a time, if we want to be efficient and the result of our effort to be quality. par.
The Aphrodite-retrograde Jupiter contrast is a great aspect for socializing, for relaxation and love adventures. We are carefree, indifferent but also careless, as well as lazy, which is not the best for our business. In our romantic adventures we should avoid lowering the bar of our demands, just to find temporary and ephemeral erotic pleasure. The Venus-Jupiter contrast is also responsible for the exaggerations we can make in various manifestations of our lives, mainly in our expenses, in food, in drink but also in drugs.
The Venus-Mars conjunction, which was particularly strong on the New Moon, continues to affect the Full Moon, although the removal of the planets has begun. Mars is in the last degrees of Leo, while Aphrodite has begun her journey in Virgo. This broad session, however, continues to influence issues of the second solar house, which have to do with the economy, the purchasing power of peoples, and developments on the inflation front. Aphrodite, who is directly related to the economy, being in Virgo who loves transparency and order, can bring corruption scandals and revelations of unholy agreements. Mars, fiery and dynamic, triggers tensions and brings dynamic reactions. It is the aspect that can bring the universal opposition of the peoples to the exclusions and the division of the societies that the political leaderships are trying to impose on the occasion of its health crisis. Covid-19. "Divide and rule" is the motto of the ruling class, its last weapon to maintain control of societies, as it feels the foundations of the omnipotence of the few, which established the current political and economic model that blows the whistle, are being shaken.
The Full Moon is in session with the constellation of the eagle, one of the most beautiful constellations in the celestial dome. Its middle star, Altair (Arabic name for the "eagle"), which is directly associated with the Moon of July, is a first-magnitude star, a brilliant giant that is mythologically associated with the eagle of Zeus. Altair is responsible for the intense passions, the imposing character and the inexhaustible will. He brings insight and is known for his great imagination and penetrating mind. It has a bold character, many times unbearable, it gives courage and sudden but ephemeral wealth and a sudden rise and fall from positions of power. It is also associated with abrupt changes in weather conditions. In cosmic astrology, Altair rules the United States, space exploration, bombs and rockets. In conjunction with the Moon it draws our attention to strange or ancient discoveries. It brings frustration with the loss of position and money, bitterness from friends who turn against us and become our worst enemies, as well as difficulties, accidents or problems in our contacts with companies or the public.
All the aspects that accompany the Full Moon, imply a great release of energy, but also a lot of irritation. Our desire to achieve our goals and success is extremely great, but this momentum brings tensions and controversies in our personal lives. The Aphrodite-Jupiter contrast magnifies the contrasts between the partners and widens the gap that separates them, dramatically increasing the tensions between them. The high percentages of energy produced by the faces seem to never weaken, as a result of which we feel a constant intensity and the need to be in constant motion and vigilance. Difficulties in communication are obvious, as our insecurity increases. And because of the insecurity we will have, in every verbal attack we receive, we will react even more aggressively, refusing to admit our mistakes.
New relationships that can be created during this period may be karmic, resulting in a lot of suffering, psychological damage, pain and tears. At the level of society, however, we are shaken by the imbalances of the system, old and new. The new legal regulations that aim to reduce us all to meek plebeians, subordinates of the dispositions of each Nero who is in a position of power. Because there are many Neroes nowadays, ready to burn Rome again, in order to save the patricians. Only the plebeians have learned their lesson and are now ready to defend their rights. Madness and division are the concepts of the time, intensity and reaction their results.
The Full Moon in the house of open enemies, in combination with the other difficult aspects, can bring on the other hand a hot episode between countries, with occupation of territories, confinement of forces or even captivity. As for Mars from Leo and the 4th house, it favors beyond confrontations and hot skirmishes, high temperatures, forest fires and fires in general, while it can also accelerate the occurrence of strong seismic sequences. On the domestic political front, this divisive Full Moon can bring controversy and rifts in the political arena, regarding the handling of important issues, which could easily lead to divisions of political parties and the destabilization of the government, to a critical one for our nations. period issues. There is a possibility that secret agreements and scandals involving politicians and government officials will be revealed.
