Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 12:30 PM to 1:45 PM EDT today (9:30 AM to 10:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will enjoy the company of friends as well as groups, clubs and organizations. Despite the fact that your strong focus is on home and family at the moment, you are nevertheless eager to socialize with others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you are high viz., whether you are aware of this or not. In fact, some people might know personal details about your private life. Nevertheless, with lucky Jupiter in your sign now, you have divine protection. Enjoy warm bonds with others. People are friendly today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Sudden changes and last-minute detours will make this an exciting day for you. Meanwhile, you will also enjoy warm relations with daily contacts, siblings and relatives. You will appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a great day to schmooze with others, which is why you will be up for a good time! You will find it easy to be charming and diplomatic with everyone, especially because you might be surprised at how popular you are. Meanwhile, take note: this is a good day to buy wardrobe items for yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Although you still have this feeling of wanting to hide or watch from the sidelines; nevertheless, with both Venus and Mars in your sign, you will be sociable today. Meanwhile, because the Moon is opposite your sign, this means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You will enjoy popularity with others today, especially younger people. In fact, if you have a chance, share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone because their feedback could be helpful to you. Meanwhile, travel plans will certainly appeal. You need a change of scenery!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

People admire you today – no question. In fact, expect to have interesting conversational exchanges with bosses, parents and people in authority (including the police). A competition might take place, especially something physical. Meanwhile, a friend could become a lover.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Two different energies are at play for you today. One energy (the Moon) makes you want to relax at home and cocoon in familiar surroundings. However, the other energy, (the Sun) makes you want to travel and explore new places and seek adventure. It’s your call.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In discussion with others today, you want to have a meaningful conversation. You don’t want to waste time on superficial chitchat. You have something to say and you want to say it and you want to be heard. (Hopefully, you will find someone who wants to talk to you for real.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

People are talkative today! In fact, you might be attracted to someone. If so, very likely, the attraction is mutual, which is why you feel this heightened magnetism. (Be still my beating heart.) Meanwhile, you are also concerned about your belongings and your cash flow today. It happens.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which means you will feel a bit more emotional than usual. (Bear this in mind.) However, for the 2 1/2 days every month when the Moon is in your sign, your luck is slightly better than all the other signs. We like!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is the perfect day for some holiday fun because you’re in the mood to play and socialize! Enjoy sports events, social outings, fun activities with kids, romantic diversions and sporting competitions. Even if you have to work today, relations with coworkers will be excellent.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Becki Newton (1978) shares your birthday today. You are passionate about your beliefs; and like to work with others toward a common goal. You are dedicated and loyal. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of people, places and things that are holding you back.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This day is going to be sort of difficult for some natives. There are people whom are currently stuck in their habits or in their thinking patterns and they feel like there is no exit.

While some might feel professionally stuck, others are having trouble dealing with their emotions and with their reactions to the outer world. All of them should focus on finding and following the motivations that keep them going.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are going to be incredibly interested in activities that are centered on art or on purchasing all kinds of objects.

You seem to be back to your observatory self who knows how to appreciate good taste. There is a high chance that you see something you like at someone else and then you will do everything in your powers to buy yourself that thing too.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is going to be quite a tense day as previous conflicts that were just hanging on are now ready to explode.

It seems that both you and those around you are ready to tackle things directly and little diplomacy or mercy will be shown. Prepare yourself for criticism but also for accepting your faults. There are high chances for you to be accused of neglecting certain things.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

There are great chances for you today to be all busy moving to a new place, changing your work place or undergo any other locative changes.

This whole agitation will exhaust you but at the same time there are high chances for you to feel quite accomplished at the end of the day. As long as you are at peace with your actions, you will be able to surpass all practical troubles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today is going to open quite a few doors for you as the current disposition will help you either achieve something you long wanted or to discover something new.

If there were things you wanted to do and felt you didn’t have the means to or there was something keeping you blocked, keep an eye on how today unravels because you might find some unexpected answers here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today is going to be a great day in terms of money, but only when it comes to investments that you make in yourself.

So do something for your image, indulge with a beauty treatment or go shopping. Transforming yourself will be a great investment as it seems that the next couple of days will prove you that image does matter.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today is going to be quite a demanding day for you. There might be a lot of things planned for the day or maybe there is nothing so important for you.

Think twice, it seems that even the most mundane of situations will keep you thinking. It is a great time to deal with legal issues or to settle legislative agreements between partners.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are going to deal with some changes in your family today. Maybe you need to postpone some activities due to changes at the office and your partner won’t be happy about it.

Prepare to be in the center of attention both at work and at home because how things unravel, you are certainly going to be kept very active on all sides.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is going to be an auspicious day for emotional endeavors. So, if there’s something you felt like sharing with your partner or to someone close, maybe today might be your occasion to pour your heart out.

It is also a great moment to take some time and explore a place, maybe do some short distance traveling as long as you don’t have other responsibilities to keep you in one place.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today there are some chances for you to have to make some traveling plans and some natives might have to drive for some hours. It will be a busy day as things unravel so you should be prepared and make sure you eat right so you’ll have enough energy.

Be prepared because there might be some delays on your way and also minor misunderstandings.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is going to be a busy day for you and the things you will mostly need are speed to react and thorough decision making.

As if it weren’t enough, it seems that your body will also give you a hard time and previous ailments might reappear. It’s a time of joint pain and similar issues so don’t spend to much time on your feet or running around.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you will benefit from a great deal of energy but it seems you won’t be enough prepared on how to use it so it will take you by surprise.

Sure thing you will react by being overly zealous and your work presence will be noticed. Be prepared not to be taken by surprise if those around you start avoiding you because you are overly demanding.

July 2023 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

WHAT PLANETS ARE RETROGRADE JULY 2023? TBH, IT’S KIND OF A LOT

From elitedaily.com

Here’s to longer days, shorter nights, as well as a booked and busy social calendar. It’s summertime, baby! As the sun prepares to shift into its home sign of Leo this month, you’ll be tapping into your main character energy just in time for a beach vacation. However, as you prepare to sit back and relax, July 2023’s retrograde planets are coming in extra hot. In total, there will be four planets reversing through the cosmos in July, which is a biiit much — but only one will actually be stationing retrograde this month: Venus. She’ll easily be the star of the show this summer, which means that you will be paying your relationships a lot of attention.

What’s A Retrograde?

A retrograde is an apparent change in movement of any planet through the sky. Each of the eight planets (excluding the luminaries, aka the sun and moon) maintain a consistent retrograde cycle, unique to their relative speeds. The inner planets, like Mercury, Venus, and Mars, experience shorter retrograde periods; the outer planets, like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, station retrograde for extended lengths, since they move at a slower pace. When a planet stations retrograde, it appears to be reversing its steps through the cosmos, but in reality, the celestial body is just moving at a much slower speed than normal. This is where retrograde mishaps tend to come from: The change in tempo tends to impact the planet’s ability to accomplish its usual objective.

What Planets Will Be Retrograde July 2023?

As previously mentioned, there will be a total of four planets retrograde in July, but only one Venus will be stationing retrograde this month. The planet of love, pleasure, and creativity will be joining Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, all of which stationed retrograde in the months prior. This is the first time Venus will station retrograde in Leo since 2015, so it’s bound to bring some important themes into focus specifically in the house Leo resides in everyone’s birth chart.

What To Expect From July 2023’s Retrograde Planets
