Full Moon and New Moon July 2014

Since I am not spending as much time here as I once was, I am putting up the Full Moon for July 2014 (July 12) and New Moon (July 26) in this single blog post.  The FM is a Capricorn Moon / Cancer Sun FM.  Looking at the positions of Jupiter and Pluto, I would estimate this to be more of a FM to “excess” than others are.  People often take unnecessary and foolish risks during the summer, and this FM confirms that this weekend will be a dangerous one for some.  New relationships will seem particularly intense, and tensions will run high in existing ones.  Here is the FM chart:

Jupiter is very late in Cancer and may, in fact, be void of course.  v/c is generally viewed as an unfavorable time; most of the time it is discussed in relation to the Moon because the Moon v/c window occurs every 2 to 3 days.  Jupiter v/c occurs about once a year, and this one coincides with a FM.  Interesting to an astrologer and almost certainly dangerous in some way.

(We also note Neptune (deception, delusions, mis-steps) in the eighth house (of death and taxes).)

The New Moon is an early Leo NM.  This will be a particularly good time for romance, and any new romances from the FM on July 12 that survive this long will have a chance of prospering.  Even though it happens in July, this is very much an “August Moon” in many ways.  Here is the New Moon chart:

[The chart appears to be mislabeled as an FM instead of a NM.  Since it has been up for some time now, I am leaving it in the original form.]

We also note that if this is not a night of intense sex then it might be a night of intense power struggles.  Or, it could be both.  Jupiter has entered Leo by this point, and the “Grand Cross” of the year is over.  But, again, the power struggles are not necessarily done.  In many ways, this NM with Jupiter in Leo nearby marks the beginning of a new “Post Grand Cross” phase.
