We have a New Moon on Monday night when the Sun and Moon meet up at 11 degrees of Virgo. Virgo is the mutable earth sign. Like its sister earth signs Capricorn and Taurus, Virgo is practical, reality focused, and experiences life through the physical.

Monday afternoon's Full Moon in Aquarius  has a lot of moving parts, all of which are pushing us to make long needed changes. Aquarius offers a vision for a better world that Leo energy can be directed towards creating.

Sunday morning we have a New Moon at 12 degrees of Leo. Leo is the fixed fire sign. Fire signs are idealistic and optimistic. They are "big picture" signs, not especially concerned with details.

Mercury retrogrades are like speed bumps in life. They are meant to slow us down and allow us to review, reflect upon and revise the way in which we approach the themes of the sign that is being traversed. 

This Full Moon is an astrological Blue Moon. If a month has 2 Full Moons, the second is known as a Blue Moon. They are infrequent, happening about once a year.  While this is the only Full Moon in July, it is the second Full Moon in Capricorn.
