Horoscopes
Aries
The Full Moon today brings a family or career matter to a head, dear Aries. You may be able to see a situation or problem more clearly, but keep in mind that there is an element of exaggeration surrounding any Full Moon that forces a realization, after which things settle down. We’re also moving into a Sun-Pluto opposition that has the power to pull up buried problems. The Sun shines a light on your darker fears and feelings, and this can be disruptive at first, but instructive in the long run! You get a window into your feelings about a project, relationship, family life, and ambitions. A struggle between personal and professional responsibilities is likely now. There are heavy expectations and demands on you, and you need to find a balance.
Taurus
The Sun opposes Pluto, and a Full Moon occurs now, dear Taurus, bringing a situation to a head or true feelings about a matter to bloom. If you’ve been feeling pushed to the wall emotionally, you’ll want to break free of the situation. There may be a difference of opinion that goes deeper than just a debate, and negotiations are unlikely to be fruitful with both parties clinging too strongly to their position. Avoid defensiveness, even if you feel overruled, as it won’t lead to growth, but do pay attention to deep-seated resentments that are revealed now. There is some rawness to the day, and you can be sensitive to lack of support. This is a time when rising emotions tend to find release through epiphanies and confrontations. As you face what’s been frustrating you, you’re likely to enjoy a nice feeling of personal power.
Gemini
There can be an ownership, money, or intimacy matter that comes to a head or turning point now, dear Gemini, with a Full Moon occurring today and a Sun-Pluto opposition closely tied to it. If somebody is playing the heavy, such as a partner or a financial supporter, or if you’ve been feeling undervalued, then frustration with the situation reaches a boiling point. You might open your eyes to an issue related to shared resources now. The need for support, or for better managing your life regarding support systems, can emerge for immediate attention. While relationships or financial matters may feel loaded or intense now, this is a time for releasing yourself from problems or burdens or making a plan to do so going forward. You’ll feel lighter as a result!
Cancer
A Full Moon occurs in your partnership sector today, dear Cancer, shining a light on your feelings, mainly related to your relationships. Some drama is likely now as a relationship reaches a turning point or you come to a new perspective on a matter. Avoid a tug of war today with a Sun-Pluto opposition directly challenging you. This can set off relationship problems that have been brewing under the surface of things. Deliberate actions tend to meet convoluted problems, but a convoluted approach doesn’t necessarily fare much better! You could be dealing with a difficult person or situation, or a conflict emerges now. However, you can come to a better understanding of where you may be overly attached to something that is preventing you from growing. Look for ways to reclaim personal power by first determining where you’re giving it away.
Leo
The Full Moon occurring early today alerts you to the need to pay more attention to your daily affairs, dear Leo, possibly through a deadline to meet. This comes after some time spent attending to your emotional life or time away from the routine. Life can feel a little chaotic for now, but you have all the right tools to get things back on track, with some patience. A Sun-Pluto opposition can push a matter that has been brewing under the surface of things, particularly if you’ve been micromanaging your life in the areas of health and work. Power plays can occur with those you work with. You may feel a lot of pressure to get things done, even if your heart isn’t in it or you are not feeling up to par emotionally and physically, challenging your desire to unwind and relax. You want to do it all, and you’re afraid to miss out on anything now! Pleasing you at the moment can be difficult. However, frustrations that emerge are telling — you’re likely to learn quite a bit about your fears and foibles.
Virgo
You can come to an important conclusion or feel a rush of feelings now, dear Virgo, due to a Full Moon occurring early today, forcing you to confront your deeper feelings on a matter or bringing a social matter to a turning point. Feelings or news about love or a creative issue can emerge. Buried feelings for someone may be acknowledged, or an epiphany occurs. Things can be a little chaotic before they sort themselves out. You may find yourself at cross-purposes with someone, or in a battle with yourself. Insecurities can drive behaviors of a lover, child, or friend, or there could be an event that triggers memories of disappointment or a letdown with the Sun’s yearly opposition to Pluto coming into force today. This influence pits light and dark forces against one another in your social sectors. Mindfully releasing some of your frustrations can be important work for you now. Be as honest with yourself as possible. In fact, the Full Moon helps with this! A Full Moon tends to awaken you to feelings or situations that you’ve brushed aside.
Libra
A Full Moon occurs early today, dear Libra, heightening emotions and bringing you to important realizations or a turning point. Issues surrounding your home, family, career, or ambitions can be in stronger focus. If you’ve felt too weighed down by attachments that have grown unhealthy, or if you’ve been imposing unrealistic limitations on yourself, you’re likely to confront these issues now. You might be considering a move or change in your living arrangements or living conditions. An annual Sun-Pluto opposition is also in play, complicating emotions but also bringing greater power or punch to this need to purge and release. If you’ve felt that others are attempting to pull your strings, you’ll want to correct the situation with the epiphanies and events of today. Try not to resist, fear, or avoid change, which can stir up more problems. Identify where you’ve been overly attached and consider ways to let go of unnecessary burdens in your life. This is an excellent time to clean up your life in fundamental ways, particularly around the home.
Scorpio
A Full Moon occurs early today, dear Scorpio, this can be a time of considerable activity. Especially if you’ve been away or enjoying non-routine experiences recently, this can be a time of scurrying to handle your daily affairs. There may be increased drama in your immediate environment or with news you receive or give. An annual opposition between the Sun and Pluto occurs now, pitting your desire for new experiences against your attachment to your routines. Consider, however, that you may be limiting your growth by sticking too closely to your habits, neighborhood, or home. Watch for trying to push an idea or way of thinking onto someone, or for sticking with what you know so tightly that you’re not learning anything new.
Sagittarius
A Full Moon occurs early today, dear Sagittarius, and you may awaken to your feelings about a relationship or problem area in your life. Personal possessions, valuables, or finances can be in focus, and revelations may occur surrounding these things. Something happening now, or your feelings, can alter your perspective about what you value most. A yearly Sun-Pluto opposition also occurs now, forcing you to confront your feelings or recent circumstances related to ownership, possessiveness, money, and boundaries. If you’ve been fearful of changes with your financial affairs or in your intimate life, you may need to examine how this attitude has prevented you from growing and thriving. A tricky problem could come to a head, and if handled well, you could get to a better place of understanding as a result.
Capricorn
The Full Moon occurring early today is in your sign, dear Capricorn, bringing epiphanies and buried feelings (and frustrations) to the surface. This is a time for recognizing feelings you’ve brushed to the side and for considering action that might fix problem areas. It can feel good to release emotions that you’ve bottled up. Take care as you do so, but do give your emotions air time. Make your biggest project yourself and your needs, if this is possible, while being considerate of others. With the yearly Sun-Pluto opposition also influencing the day, you should be particularly mindful when it comes to any compulsions to try to control or oversee a person or relationship, as this can be a real temptation. Attempts to mastermind an emotional situation should be avoided. While it can be difficult to be open and flexible now, doing so can leave you feeling more empowered, ultimately!
Aquarius
A Full Moon occurs early today, dear Aquarius, and it can bring a work or service matter to light. You’ve been busier than usual with chores and duties recently, and you may now recognize the need to decompress, unwind, and get away from it all. Balancing attention to mental and physical health as well as to work and relaxation becomes vital now, but is complicated by a Sun-Pluto opposition. This aspect occurs yearly but happens to coincide with the Full Moon this year, amping up the power and the drama of your discoveries and epiphanies. Something that has been hidden or buried can emerge for you to handle once and for all, or, if it’s too big to deal with all at once, it’s time to take a step towards its resolution. Examine your fears, but do your best not to dwell on them or give them more power than they already have.
Pisces
The Full Moon occurring today brings illumination to a friendship or about your social life in general, dear Pisces. The need to feel part of something bigger than yourself or simply part of a group or feelings of belonging to a person can be strongly stimulated now. A Sun-Pluto opposition complicates matters, as it adds extra power, impact, and drama to your feelings, revelations, and interactions with others. You may be questioning someone’s agenda, or you could feel so worried about a social matter that you miss out on opportunities to have fun and enjoy yourself. The goal now should be to let go of excessive attachments to things that are limiting your growth, particularly if the time suck occurring now is about attempting to mastermind a situation or fear of not being “in the know” in a relationship. Do your best to let it go and prioritize your enjoyment!

LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 9th:
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).
