Dear NightFall Astrology readers,
Welcome to a remarkable week where the cosmos choreographs a dance of celebration, insight, and growth. The week’s main event is a powerful Full Moon in Capricorn, highlighting the importance of acknowledgement and abundance. At the same time, Mercury’s tryst with Neptune opens channels of profound understanding and empathy.
But it’s not all seriousness and reflection. Venus and Mars in Leo ensure the week is suffused with theatrical excitement, adding a dash of exuberance to the mix. While there are moments of introspection, a sense of stability is ever-present, creating a fertile ground for innovation and evolution.
In essence, it’s a time to honour our progress, find joy in our ongoing journey, and brace ourselves for a celestial expedition filled with captivating twists and turns. So, fasten your cosmic seatbelts and let’s uncover what the stars have in store for us!
I. Full Moon in Capricorn:
This Monday’s, July 3rd, Full Moon in Capricorn is poised to be a monumental one, characterised by revelations of personal growth and impending abundance. It serves as a harbinger of a future that favours diligence towards positive endeavours.
This lunar event occurs precisely at 1:38 PM (CET), the Sun occupying the second decan of Cancer at 11 degrees, with the Moon mirroring its position in Capricorn. Such an alignment is quintessential of Full Moons, embodying peak drama, absolute illumination, and a moment of cathartic release.
For the uninitiated, Full Moons typically symbolise the end of a cycle or release of pent-up drama, as opposed to the start of a new cycle signalled by a New Moon. This particular Full Moon’s Tarot association is intriguing: The Sun in the second decan of Cancer corresponds to the Two of Cups card, known as ‘The Lord of Love’, reputed for its overt positivity. The card’s depiction of two people sharing an abundance of joy hints at a successful synthesis of efforts, a milestone worthy of celebration.
Further reinforcing this theme, the Moon finds itself in the second decan of Capricorn, corresponding to the Three of Pentacles tarot card, co-ruled by Mars. The card symbolises significant progress made in constructing something substantial. Yet, it also highlights that the work is far from over. In essence, we find ourselves in the midst of a journey – a thrilling, challenging, and rewarding odyssey that deserves recognition and celebration. We’re most likely seeing the fruits of a project or situation that started around last year’s New Moon in Capricorn that took place on December 23rd, 2022.

During this Full Moon, the Sun will still be conjunct with Mercury in Cancer, an alignment known to bring about mental clarity and realisation. This suggests that this Full Moon will be more about awareness and understanding rather than dwelling on difficult endings. Indeed, there is an element of seriousness to this recognition, given how far one has come.
There is, however, a slight caveat: the Sun and Moon’s square to Chiron serves as a gentle nudge for us to confront any lingering vulnerability. It’s an invitation to step out of our comfort zones, overcome feelings of impostor syndrome, and fully embrace the recognition we’ve earned.
Yet, the presence of a trine to Uranus in Taurus suggests an effortless ability to innovate and realise. Coupled with the Sun’s trine to Saturn in Pisces, this points towards a great sense of stability and groundedness.
Finally, the lively theatricality introduced by Venus and Mars in Leo turns the celebration into an exuberant, larger-than-life event. The festive environment infused with Leo’s inherent drama and flair becomes an apt platform to honour our achievements. The square from Venus and Mars to Uranus adds a dash of unpredictability, serving as a delightful wildcard that adds zest to the occasion without overshadowing the core celebration.
In essence, this Full Moon in Capricorn presents a unique blend of recognition, reflection, and celebration. It reminds us to honour our journey, our progress, and the relationships that have shaped our course. And amidst the earnest seriousness of the event, it encourages us to revel in the joy of our accomplishments, making for a truly unforgettable celestial event.
This Full Moon will be felt most intensely by Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, and Aries, particularly if you have planets and/or important chart points around 11 degrees of these signs (give or take 1-5 degrees).
II. Mercury trines Neptune:
On Sunday, July 9th, we find ourselves under the creative and compassionate astrological convergence of Mercury, the planet of communication and cognitive functions, and Neptune, the mystical planet of dreams and intuition. This cosmic alignment signals an intensification of our empathetic abilities to such an extent that we might all feel almost psychic in our understanding of others.
Setting firm boundaries may prove challenging during this time, but therein lies an opportunity. It’s a moment that allows, and indeed encourages, profound listening – not just to others, but to our inner selves as well. In the subtle vibrations of empathy, we could discover a path to resolving longstanding issues that have been burdening our relationships. It’s an invitation to let go of resistance, to understand, and ultimately to heal.
Sunday is a day favourably inclined towards creative and spiritual pursuits. This might manifest as an increased ability to connect with the creative muse or heightened intuition and openness to spiritual exploration. Activities that encourage free expression or contemplation, such as free writing or meditation, are likely to be particularly rewarding.
There’s a sense of a door being opened to the divine, an opportunity for heightened spiritual connection and increased intuition. Whether you’re seeking guidance or looking to connect with your higher self, consider asking your spiritual guides for a sign. It’s a day when the cosmos seems inclined to answer. In this ethereal exchange, we are reminded that even as we journey through the tangible world, we are intimately connected to the universe’s mystical and spiritual dimensions.
This transit will be most favourable for Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio.
