Main Themes and notes on the Full Moon:
-Endings and Fresh new beginnings (anaretic degrees and zero degrees).
-Complicated matters that require reforms, upset plans or require unusual approaches
-Balancing Public and Private existence.
-Changes in Geopolitical power dynamics or group dynamics.
-Engagement in group discussions with like minded individuals, or friends may present some surprising information or viewpoints.
-Social unrest – Young people
-Revelations and/or things hidden or under the surface are beginning to rise.
-Expressing opinions – Dealing with rigid attitudes and ways of thinking
-Making a new start
-Issues with travel, media and communication or technology
-Correcting things
-Opportunities for relationships and creative endeavours, opening up new chapters.
-This Full Moon indicates a radical change, in our engagement with groups, the community, and may also present some critical issues or situations to deal with to do with boundaries, lack of clarity or value systems.
-The Sun is entering Leo after the Full Moon and opposes Pluto. This is a sense of betterment for the Sun going into the sign of its rulership (leader and leadership spirit), but also gives an indication of withdrawal, complication or opposition from a group, which will be resolved through Mars in Gemini. Active or heated communications or announcing new things about going ahead with big plans or projects.
-Sharing goals and successes with groups and friends, using intuition, being creative and focusing on empowering and correcting instead of disempowering and being rigid is good advice.
–This Full Moon is active for the next couple of weeks, and will indicate how the period between September to November will unfold for the whole world, as Pluto will return to the final degree of Capricorn.

We live in interesting times, to say the least. If there is one positive thing to take away from the symbolism of Mars conjunct Uranus on the Fixed star Algol (besides all the gloom and doom of its malefic influence), as the conjunction is applying and perfecting on July 15th, (there is also the parallel aspect to consider on July 18th), is that we collectively or personally release or liberate ourselves from violence, battles, disputes and aggression. The 2 year cycle of the planets is in its balsamic phase, seeking a new vision about what we need to defend and protect, through valuing or around values. The conjunction in Taurus, has a dispositor, Venus. Venus is in the sign of Leo, and is separating from an opposition to Pluto. An awareness , a crisis, or a conflict that has reached it’s maximum, and proceeds with a release or liberation. Pluto is an agent of elimination and renewal. Mars and Uranus in Taurus can be seen as a need for release from things, and/or approach chaotic or unstable situations with calmness (Taurus), and a heroic or authentic attitude pertaining to our values or mending things (Venus/Leo). The theme of ‘endings’ is present, in any cycle approaching its conjunction. As Algol is associated with the head of Medusa, the ‘decapitation’ is also perhaps of the fear to think of things in a different way, or the ending of a cycle and the overcoming of past trauma, or wounding to do with leadership, choices and self will (Venus in Leo, Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries). And yes, we may witness sudden and unpredictable acts or violence in the world, major shake ups, but we may also witness initiatives and actions that turn situations around in ways that unblock, aid, correct or end past injustices or conflicts. The range of manifestations is rather extreme and wide, from destructive to incredibly passionate and creative, and this depends solely on the predisposition and mental state of the individuals. Where the mind is focused or fixated on, does make all the difference.

-The conjunction resonates with themes manifested in October and November of 2023, and August of 2022.

A significant collective and existential threshold

Saturn stationed Rx on June 29th @ 19 Pisces 25′, and Neptune stations Rx on July 2nd @ 29 Pisces 55’:

  • Time for reviewing and reflecting on expectations, visions, ideals or mis-takes of the past. Collectively we are on the verge or a need to make a new beginning in connection to our ideals, the notion of the common good and the perspective of service, survival and autonomy. Neptune will ingress into Aries next spring, and will be going back and forth on the threshold of the Equinox point for a few months, until it meets Saturn in 2026. A kind of state in limbo or preparative stage, like a sea diver after a long sea exploration dive, takes their diving suit off and hops into their very own athletic attire or their tarzan outfit.
  • Neptune passed the same degree that now Saturn stations, on April 5-6, 2020, September 16, 2020, and Feb. 6, 2021 – If you have planets or significant points on your natal chart, on this degree, then these dates may mean something significant for you.
  • These dates obviously mean something really significant collectively, as April 2020, we were in the beginning of the covid pandemic lock down period (the Jupiter-Pluto cycle in Capricorn started.)

What is the most important binding thing for us all in our common future, what is a collective memory that we can share? Saturn, as it stations Rx, indicates a kind of ‘pause’ or need to reflect, that is subjective (apparent motion), and it is somehow  bridging a time gap between past and future. When slow planets go over the same degree, there is a noticeable kind of ‘echo’ effect, or a moment to check up on something. What Neptune started, Saturn needs to control, structure, make clear or solidify. The other scenario, is that it may give some understanding in retrospect, about matters that prevailed on those dates.
