Horoscopes
Aries
Today, you have special sight for family, domestic, and home-related matters, dear Aries. You can certainly use some objective energy in these areas with recent ups and downs. Also today, you’re in a great position to enjoy your relationships. It’s a great day for shopping, as well! This is largely because your judgment is excellent. While emotions are on the complicated side, you seem to enjoy simple pleasures and comforts now. One-on-one relations thrive with good advice and openness to intimacy or closeness. This is a strong time for assessing the value of items and getting in touch with your feelings about and appreciation for people in your life. You might find a lost item or discover a hidden resource. Comforting activities help you heal.
Taurus
The Moon is in your partnership sector all day, dear Taurus, and you tend to seek out some company or turn to someone special for sustenance. With Venus and Chiron connecting harmoniously today as well, it’s a fabulous time for reconciliations and pairings. If you need to repair a connection or enhance the friendship element of a relationship, this is a great time for extending and attracting good will. Others are drawn to you and trust you more than usual. Personal appeal and magnetism soar and social problems can be resolved. You may be seeing someone in a new, more positive light. A friend may be reassuring today.
Gemini
After several days of a rather emotional approach to money and ownership, dear Gemini, today’s energies are excellent for seeing these matters more objectively, which affords you the opportunity to assess things clearly. Today is also useful for judgment with people you work with and for business or career choices. You may feel a strong desire to serve or help others, which can be particularly rewarding. There can be a secret attraction or a stroke of good luck from behind the scenes. The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, pulling up a need to get things into order. No job is small enough today – in fact, you seem to instinctively know that accomplishing the little things helps you most at the moment.
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your creative solar fifth house and harmonizing with your sign, dear Cancer. Pressures feel less pressing! As well, you find it easier than usual to express yourself. This is further bolstered by a Sun-Mercury parallel in your sign. While you may have been feeling a slave to your emotions recently, today you feel clearer and more objective. Also active today is a Venus-Chiron sextile that further enhances your comfort and ease with others, and especially friends, networks, or classmates. You may feel supported or readily fill the role of supporter today. Friendliness and openness are themes and bring rewards. Someone’s understanding or reinforcement of your beliefs and ideas can feel good now.
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your sector of home and family, dear Leo, and this draws your attention to your personal affairs and needs for comfort, security, and familiarity. It’s a time for playing it safe for awhile, which serves a useful purpose in the long run. You have good energy for seeing a matter related to the past, your health, or your private life more clearly today after several days of an emotionally-charged perspective. Communications should also fare well now, not only due to this clarity but because Venus, your communications sector ruler, is receiving a harmonious aspect from Chiron, prioritizing the healing and compassionate sides of life. You have the gift of conversation. It’s a good time for positive word of mouth in your business affairs, smart thinking and judgment, positive reviews, and possible recognition for your ideas and advice.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Virgo, and your desire to learn or keep yourself mentally stimulated runs high. A parallel between the Sun and Mercury reinforces this theme and also helps give you a unique window into the affairs of a friendship or your social life that is far more objective than it has been in recent days. This can really boost your mood! Venus forms an excellent aspect with Chiron today, and whenever this occurs, usually twice a year, finances may improve or concerns about your bottom line lessen. You’re a better judge of character with people and value with things! Good feelings with a partner can emerge today, particularly with increased openness and honesty. This is more about honesty with ourselves as we let some of our defenses down.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, dear Libra, and you tend to focus on enjoying what you have or finding ways to acquire what you need! You have a unique window into your career, long-term goals, reputation, performance, and responsibilities. After several days of an emotionally-charged perspective, you can really benefit from an objective approach now. A Venus-Chiron influence helps you gain the support or interest of others and makes it rather easy to find the information you need. Fixing small problems now can feel good and even empowering. An openness of spirit endears you to people, and this may very well get you into revealing and breakthrough conversations.
Scorpio
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Scorpio, and you’re likely to be in the spotlight. Your emotional needs are up, front, and center. Even so, this day holds excellent energy for objectivity, and it can feel quite good after several emotionally charged days. You have an exclusive window into your educational goals or travel plans, or you may see your goals and ideas more clearly now. There is a stronger desire to feel emotionally alive and connected to the world around you with a Venus-Chiron aspect also in play now. Excellent energy for personal attraction on social and romantic levels is with you today! Venus in your partnership sector connects with Chiron in your romance sector, boosting your appeal, particularly with an open, vulnerable, and honest approach.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, dear Sagittarius, and you may need a break from the more demanding or hectic pace of everyday life. This is a time for gathering your forces and building your energy. You have a unique window into matters related to finances, sharing, and intimacy today, which comes as a breath of fresh air after some possibly emotionally-charged thinking in these areas in recent days. Also helping you out today is a Venus-Chiron aspect that aids problem-solving and good judgment, particularly related to home and work as well as relationships related to these things. Now is the time to tackle issues that can benefit from honesty, compassion, and openness. Repairing and healing efforts can be very successful.
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Capricorn, and this can give you a break from recent pressures. It’s a sector that encourages focus outside of ourselves. You seek out other activities to help round out your experiences now. Reinforcing this is a Sun-Mercury parallel that stimulates an objective perspective, particularly on recently emotionally-charged areas of your life, including relationships. Gaining this kind of insight is useful and even relieving. Also today, Venus forms a sextile with Chiron and brings a wonderfully honest and mature vibe to the day that you appreciate fully. Willingness to learn from one another and to share issues that are often kept to ourselves are key factors behind the day’s good energy for communication, creativity, and learning.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, and you’re more emotionally invested in your performance, reputation, and goals. You can gain an unusually clear and objective perspective on your work and health matters today with a Sun-Mercury parallel in play. This comes as a wonderful relief after several days of more intense and emotionally-charged energy in these areas of life. As well, a Venus-Chiron influence today boosts your feelings, communications, and family life. It’s a good time for reconciliation or healing and repairing relationships, as well as for judging what you may need. Financial decisions might be made now. For some of you, sharing financial concerns can be comforting.
Pisces
The Moon spends the day in your sector of spirit, dear Pisces, and this encourages and stimulates your sense of adventure. It helps you rise above mundane concerns. Also helping you gain perspective is a Sun-Mercury parallel. You get a unique window into a romantic or creative matter now, which can come as a breath of fresh air after several days of rather emotionally-charged energy in your social life. Your communications shine today as your special healing touch comes through beautifully in your words and manner. There is an almost poetic quality to your self-expression and your powers of attraction subtly lift as a result, and your openness and compassion are in the spotlight.

Event: Tr-Tr Ven Sxt Chi
Description: Transiting Venus Sextile Transiting Chiron
Opportunities for relationships or socializing can arise now. Interactions are open, warm, and supportive of growth.
Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 3rd:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN SCORPIO
You have an emotional intensity, and a strong need for drama. Under stress you will create drama and intensity in your life. You may have been born at a time when your mother experienced a crisis, or your birth may have been traumatic. Your mother may have been possessive and intense.
