Are you ready for this eclipse? There’s always so much going on these days and along with this eclipse we are also working with many other planetary influences, one of them being the retrograde of Mercury; which however really isn’t a big deal even though a lot of people make it a big deal. I find it really is hard to dispel all of those myths that Mercury retrograde causes all the problems. It is such BS pop astrology. Do stupid things happen during Mercury retrograde, are there delays too? Yes of course there is…..
I believe our attitude causes a lot of the problems. If we go into something thinking it’s going to mess up 
there’s a good chance that’s what the results will be. This isn’t Mercury retrograde this is us, we created the problems and we need to take responsibility for our own thoughts.
There are a lot of things that are changing these days. We have Saturn, South Node and Pluto all within the allotment of a conjunction. This means the old ways of doing things, the old regime, out dated government policies, and our old belief systems are breaking down. We see this happening all over the world. It is not everything but it seems to be the important things and that will make people fearful.
So do your best to stay out of fear; please!! I know there are many many things in this world that are horrible, unfair, and morally wrong. I don’t deny that, but I also choose to be in control of the things I can control. I take action where I as an individual can take action. I pay close attention to how I feel and am responsible for my own feelings.
I know most of my forecasts speak very little of what’s going on in the world; that is intentional because I’m trying to be a person who uplifts people, a person who allows people to have their own power and make their own choices from wherever you are on your life path. I do my best not scare people, but give you hope and knowledge so you know you do have choices.
So don’t miss understand my apparent simplistic approach to Astrology, it is not simple at all. After more than 30 years of practice my main intention is to help you take back your power and be the amazing creator you came here to be.
So with that being said let’s address the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and what the week of July 15th has to offer us.
Monday July 15th the Moon in Capricorn in her waxing phase inspires us to be logical and practical as well as feeling solid and grounded. Take today to be as organized and practical as possible.
Tuesday July 16th during the day before the eclipse the Moon will be in an opposition to Venus awakening our need for comfort and self-care, please pay attention to this.
Then the Moon will conjunct Saturn and Pluto all before the eclipse, this will stir up any lingering fears or fears hanging out just below the surface.
We have been working with this energy for a number of months now since Saturn, South Node, and Pluto have been close to each other but the eclipsing Moon will wake us up once and for all if we need this push to finally address something that we need to address.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is at 24 degrees of Capricorn on Tuesday July 16th 5:38 pm ET. So what is this Full Moon Lunar eclipse about? Full Moon in Capricorn has everything to do with recognizing and seeing what is strong and solid in your life and it usually comes about through fear. This is because Capricorn can bring up fear and lack and feelings of not being or doing enough. I find this unfortunate but most people are motivated more by fear than anything else. The good news is Capricorn also carries a lot of confidence, self-assurance and poise. We have choices.
Currently there is a lot of fear in the world around us as I mentioned in my opening statement so I would ask you that during this Full Moon in Capricorn you look at your life at your reputation do you feel solid do you feel secure? Examine those things and I would also ask you to take a look at what you’re afraid of and why are you afraid of whatever that is. If you can examine these things in an honest way then you can see what you are going to move forward with and the things that are no longer working for you and you can leave them behind. This is how I recommend we all use this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.
Now we can also get additional information about what this eclipse holds for you by looking at the lunar phase family that this eclipse is a part of.
Here are some dates January 16th 2018 New Moon, and then nine months later first quarter moon October 16th 2018, and now we have the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse July 16th 2019, and the third and final quarter in this lunar phase family will begin April 14th 2020.
What do you do with these dates? January 16th was a new Moon at a similar degree as this eclipse. Around January 16, 2018 we would have begun something; what did you begin back then that is related to now? The October 16, 2018 date was the first quarter moon and that means what you started in January 2018 by October 2018 you would start to see the fruits of your labor. And now July 16th is the Full Moon which is like the period of harvest the period where we are ready to reap the benefits of what we’ve accomplished, and release whatever has not worked that we began in January 2018.
So look back and figure out what those dates (A month or two on either side is an acceptable buffer period.) mean to you and you will receive additional information about this eclipse for your personal information.
On Wednesday July 17th Venus is in opposition to Saturn. If you are in a not so serious relationship then this aspect just might encourage you to go to the next level. In regards to finances we should pay attention to what we are spending this week.
Thursday July 18th Venus now makes an easy aspect with Neptune and all we want to do is go with the flow and relax with no boundaries. It’s a good thing Venus connected with Saturn first, now we can feel easy.
Friday July 19th Mercury re-enters Cancer by retrograde, he will stay in this sign for the next 3 weeks, half of which as a retrograde planet. I recommend we go easy on ourselves and spend as much time in self-care as possible. Some people will experience a recurrence of family issues they had in June. If that is the case for you go easy and listen then respond, don’t over react if you can help it.
Saturday July 20th with the Moon in Pisces all day I recommend we simply go with the flow, spend time near water or get lost in a good book.
Sunday July 21st Venus will be opposite to Pluto; time to get serious in regards to a relationship or a financial matter. Pluto says take the deep dive so you may understand more. The Sun and Mercury are also conjunct this happens regularly and means we are very interested in sharing our opinions and talking things out which is fine, just remember to think then speak.
All right let’s get started for the week in-between the two eclipses. On Monday July 8th the Moon is in Libra
for the next 2 days which is fantastic for keeping us in a more balanced emotional state, perfect for staying aware of the equilibrium and harmony in our lives.
The main aspect I want to talk about for Monday July 8th is the retrograde of Mercury in Leo conjunct Mars in Leo. These two together can do a lot of creating but when these two energies are not expressed properly, with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, then we get frustration and there can be an explosion of emotions. So I recommend as we’re coming up to Monday that we make sure and pay attention to how we’re expressing ourselves through our actions and what we’re passionate about and how we go for what we love.
A little side note about Mercury, currently he is actually stationary and in my opinion these are the most frustrating periods of the retrograde. This is when we really feel what most people think the retrograde is. So from July 5th to the 11th take it easy and don’t push too hard.
Moving on to Tuesday July 9th the main theme for the day is the Sun in Cancer opposite to Saturn in Capricorn. How I see this is an opportunity to ground what you’re doing, if you’ve been feeling overly emotional with the eclipse in Cancer and with Mars and Mercury in Leo. Today’s opportunity with the sun in opposition to Saturn is to really see what your truth is. Are you afraid of something if so then address it, go within and ask yourself if it’s true or not? If it’s true and you can do something about it do it and the fear disappears, if it’s not true then release it. Oppositions are always about bringing awareness to a certain point in our life. Take advantage of that as the Moon is waxing towards the next eclipse.
Wednesday the 10th and Thursday the 11th we have the moon in the sign of Scorpio; this is another opportunity for us to go deeper and really dig in emotionally. Wednesday the moon will Square the Leo planets and be in opposition to Uranus so it may be an incredibly stressful day if you are not in alignment. These are all fixed signs and that means many things have to build to a head before they are released. This is especially true if you keep sweeping problems under the rug. So do what you need to, don’t push your deeper issues aside at this time or they will come out when you least expect it.
On to Thursday’s main aspect which is Mars squaring Uranus this happens once a year and this is dynamic to say the least.
We must use this energy wisely or things will pop. Be creative and cautious in regards to what you love, what you value and how you may be pushing the limits of that right now. Whenever Uranus is activated by another planet it is showing us the very edge of our own creation. Showing us where we need to go to grow because we are most likely stuck. The square aspect from Mars creates enough stress and tension to get our attention, so pay attention and make the necessary changes. It is very important though that we take action but try and do it with purpose because sudden action can cause accidents. The details of this will be different for everybody depending on where these two planets are moving through your own personal chart.
We do have a little help today though and that is the Scorpio Moon making a trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Think of this as flowing water; if you’re feeling edgy with the Mars Uranus Square find a way to get into your own space of flow. Use meditation, music, dance, yoga or a walk at the beach and that will help smooth over any of the rough edges that the day may create.
On Friday July 12th and Saturday July 13th the Sagittarius moon is encouraging us to play, to learn and to be expressive. Remember we are still in between eclipses and this energy is building to the full moon eclipse in just a few days.
I can’t stress enough how important exploring your world and to get out there and play is during these few days. It seems so simple and it is.
Sunday July 14th the major aspect today is the Sun in Cancer in opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. This is an important day for us if we’re feeling challenged. If this is happening in your world it’s time to step up and be the powerful individual that you know you are.
Others may need to let go of being in control all the time and release what no longer is need.
Later this evening the moon enters the sign of Capricorn which is very earthy and very grounding and that is where the full moon lunar eclipse will happen on Tuesday evening and I’ll talk to you about that in the next forecast.
Weekly Astrology Forecast July 1 -7 #astrology #nhastrologer We do have a busy week in front of us but it is not as harsh as the week that held June 19th and the Mercury/Mars opposition to Saturn/Pluto. That one felt rough and fearful for most everyone I know. But what is fear? What is faith? Fear and Faith require the same thing from us, a belief in something unseen. If you are feeling fearful go inside yourself and ask what is it, ask if it is true for you? … Continue reading forecast …
Preparing for the Eclipses Old patterns are surfacing and have been for a while now. Subconscious fears are rising including expressing old habits of survival. Face your fears, let them go and replace them with security in yourself, a new sense of self awareness. Monday June 24th we start the week with Venus in social Gemini squaring off to Neptune. This is not so bad in my eyes because I think mutable squares are wonderful. They create just enough dynamic/stress so we will pay attention and make an adjustment … Continue reading forecast …

Monday June 10th we begin the day with what we astrologers call a mutable Grandcross. If you drew out the chart for sunrise it would have a big square in the center of it. The blessing with this is we have some flexibility available to us throughout the day no matter what else is happening so always keep that in mind as I tell you more. One of the main and stronger themes I am seeing this week on a whole is the need for adjustments and today’s Virgo Moon … Continue reading forecast …
