Overview

The full Moon in Capricorn on Wednesday July 13^th, as Pres. Biden begins his diplomatic journey through the Middle East, beginning with Israel, then flying to Saudi Arabia, and meeting with heads of state in Israel, Palestinian Authority, and Saudi Arabia. While his trip is focused on efforts to reduce the price of oil, lowering the cost of gasoline in the US, he will likely encounter several challenges to US policy every step of the way. Yet, the full Moon chart shows promise for success. Ceres is trine aspect to Neptune and conjunction aspect to his natal Jupiter. Transiting Sun in Cancer will be trine aspect to his natal Mercury, Sun and Venus. His famous empathy will doubtless be on display, as he approached by various individuals for legal actions. His bid to lower oil prices does not hold much promise, according to analysts. He will have to speak forcefully. With Uranus in Taurus in opposition aspect to the midpoint of his natal Mars-Mercury conjunction, he could come under strong opposition. Yet, the trip could be a great asset to his popularity worldwide. On July 15^th, the Moon in Aquarius makes a square aspect to Uranus, conjunction aspect to Saturn, and trine aspect to Venus, and square aspect to Biden’s natal Sun, at a high point of his tour. The Moon ingress to Pisces on the 16^th, as Biden returns to the US. Wishing him a safe journey and success in his mission.
