Astrology of Today – July 15, 2015

 

Summary:

A New Moon occurs today in the sign of Cancer and amidst more than the usual influences, and challenging ones. Mercury and Mars are applying to a conjunction (exact minutes into the day tomorrow). Both bodies are opposing Pluto and in hard aspect with (semi-square) Venus and (sesquiquadrate) Saturn. We may be feeling strongly about an idea or belief and expecting others to follow along or adopt our perspective, but we can become too stubborn or belligerent under these influences. It will be important to know when to speak and when to keep our own counsel today.

• The Moon is in Cancer all day (until Thursday, July 16th, at 10:14 AM).
• The Moon is waning and in its Waning Crescent phase until 9:24 PM / the Moon is waxing and in its New Moon phase from 9:24 PM forward.
• A New Moon occurs tonight in the sign of Cancer.
• Venus is direct and is in its pre-retrograde shadow (Venus will retrograde from July 25-September 6).
