Aries
Aries
Aries
You can find yourself in an excellent position for a work project or plan, dear Aries, and you can enjoy yourself as you take care of things. The Moon transits your work and health sector all day, and you’re a little more focused than usual on your duties. Fortunately, it’s a fine day for easy productivity. Energy levels improve with enthusiasm as the day advances, and it’s easier than usual to get right to the point. Your openness is welcome now, and you’re willing to take the lead to get things done or work independently at your own pace. It’s a good time to tackle problems on both personal and business levels. It’s easier than usual to get into a positive and determined frame of mind.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
Your desire to share your feelings or have some fun is in the spotlight today, dear Taurus, with the Moon in your creative fifth house. It’s a fine time for social confidence and an improved personal outlook. Hobbies or outlets for expressing yourself can be most appealing. As the day advances, you can feel inspired and enthusiastic. Exciting ideas can come to you now. It’s a good time for personal magnetism and influence, and it can very well be something you communicate or do that magnetizes opportunities to you. You’d rather put a plan into motion than mull things over, although if you live this energy through the mind, it’s a great time for exciting musings. Be firm but positive for best results today.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Pleasant, restful activities are your best bet today, dear Gemini, with the Moon in your sector of home and family all day. Domestic issues tend to override other concerns at this time of the lunar month, and you’re focusing on your personal life. Especially as the day advances, you find it natural to focus your mind and prioritize. You’re ready to take on a mental challenge, and your problem-solving skills are above par. Tackling tricky issues or ideas makes sense now. Communications with others are energetic and forward-looking. Good energy is with you for healing or regenerative activities.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
It’s straightforward to make a friend or enjoy a current friendship today, dear Cancer. Pairing up with someone can be pleasant and rewarding. There can be good conversations, and sharing ideas is satisfying. The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, inclining you to want to reach out. Fun communications can figure strongly, and it’s a good time to express yourself positively and boldly, as well as to be spontaneous if you feel right about something in your heart. You might lend someone a hand or act upon an idea with satisfaction.

Leo
Leo
Leo
With the Moon in your resources sector all day, dear Leo, there’s a stronger focus on money, possessions, and business matters. This transit may instead be about wanting to feel comfortable and secure. You can have a bigger appetite for things, in general, at the moment. A smooth, easygoing approach to others and your work or chores yields the best results in the first half of the day. As the day advances, you’re optimistic and ready for action, especially with putting your ideas into motion. You are motivated to fulfill your duties, and positive feedback only serves to encourage you further. You find it relatively easy to focus your mind and get on track. Conversations or musings can be lively and engaging.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in your sign, dear Virgo, and its harmony with the Sun and Uranus brings good energy for connecting, cooperating, and innovating. Personal urges tend to override most other concerns. Your need to be understood and acknowledged comes to the fore. As the day advances, you’re in great shape to express yourself with confidence and vigor. There can be exciting conversations, news, ideas, and musings. You can be a little more assertive or effective with the ability to focus and prioritize, and your straightforwardness can be charming.

Libra
Libra
Libra
Today’s transits should be good for quiet activities, dear Libra, and taking things easy is fortifying. Due to the Moon’s transit of your soul sector, you may feel a stronger need for private time or extra time to regroup emotionally today. It’s a time in the lunar month for exploring your inner world, and laying low can be beneficial. Still, as the day advances, mental energy runs high. You’re communicating effectively, and your vision is sharp, which is good for business moves or strategies for life path and planning purposes. It’s relatively easy to drum up support for your actions and words. You seem fully equipped to persuade and charm with your communications. While you’re a person who understands and appreciates nuance, straightforwardness and candor today are much appreciated right now.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
You want to explore different options today, dear Scorpio, and you can be energized mentally, especially as the day advances. You might seek healthy ways to escape the daily grind with today’s Moon. It’s a good time of the lunar month to connect with your happiness goals or with a special friend. You can be enthusiastic about pursuing a learning endeavor or furthering a mental interest. Conversations with a partner or special friend can be helpful, encouraging, and motivating. You seem to attract strong, competent, and loyal people into your circle or network. It’s a time for putting ideas into motion, sharing thoughts and beliefs, and strengthening alliances through communication.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
With the Moon in your sector of goals and reputation all day, dear Sagittarius, you’re more aware of your objectives, accomplishments, and performance. Following the rules may be your best bet with this short but useful transit. You may need to lead or act independently. Especially as the day advances, mental energy and enthusiasm run high. Transits favor supporting others through practical or mental help or receiving this kind of assistance. Alternatively, you can find that problems are getting solved, or it’s a great time for work and research–you’re more motivated than usual to get answers.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
The Moon spends the day in your spirit sector, and you can be excited about helping people understand your point of view, dear Capricorn. Connecting with others through ideas and ideals can figure strongly. Seeing multiple layers and possibilities can be uplifting, and a release from a previous restriction is relieving. As the day advances, energies are bright for tackling complex problems or taking on a mental challenge. Communications can be exciting, and interesting information or fun conversations can figure strongly. You are especially willing to act on your ideas, and although you’re self-motivated now, a partner or special someone can also be encouraging. For example, someone’s feedback can stir up a new idea or direction, and motivation follows. You see the bigger picture, and you’re quick to identify your priorities. You’re also quick to get to the point.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Letting go of unhealthy patterns can come naturally today, dear Aquarius, and it feels good to grow and transform. You can be excited and hopeful about new developments on an emotional level. You’re more inclined to observe, plan, and analyze. Transits sharpen your thinking and communications, and you find it easy to get to the point. It can be charming to be a little bold or open, or you can be driven to put an idea into action or pursue a line of thought. Your personal interests are a strong draw, and learning something new can figure strongly.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
You’re seeking more balance and perhaps some feedback today, dear Pisces, with the Moon in your opposite sign. You appreciate a theme of cooperation, friendliness, and openness at this time of the lunar month. You can find yourself more invested in your relationships and social life than usual. As the day advances, you’re putting a creative spin on things. Decisions tend to be quick but practical, and a direct, positive approach seems most useful. It’s a great time to take care of business or get clarity on a matter. Use extra boosts of energy and motivation to fix problems, work enthusiastically on your projects or current interests, and look for ways to clear up the clutter in your life.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 4th:

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).
