New Era Cancer New Moon

Overview

The Moon transits from the conjunction aspect with Jupiter in Gemini on Wednesday to the square aspect to Jupiter in a week’s time. Neptune in Pisces turns retro, and the New Moon on July 5^th begins a new soli-lunar cycle that could transform the political landscape. A focus on achievement could improve chances for a breakthrough event, as Uranus is triggered on Monday. The Yod formation next Tuesday indicates an accepted agreement for a transforming event.

Looking ahead
