This week the sky undergoes a great changing of the guard. The week opens as the night of June 29 turns into June 30, with a Full Moon at the 8th degree of Capricorn; along the Cancer-Capricorn axis, the balance between home and career, between private life and public responsibility, is brought to light. This Full Moon also takes place under the shadow of the Sun-Saturn square, so alongside the emotions it carries a weight, a test, or a sense of facing reality; it is a Full Moon that brings maturing more than exuberance.
The week's true turning point is Jupiter's move from Cancer into Leo on June 30. Jupiter, which has spent a year advancing through its exaltation in Cancer, leaves its strongest position and begins a new cycle of expansion in Leo. Whichever area of life abundance, luck and growth will flow into over the coming year, this week that door opens. Meanwhile Mercury, which began its retrograde on June 29, continues retrograde in Cancer all week; we are in a period of slowing down, returning and reviewing in communication, decisions and technical matters. It is a week better suited to correcting and completing what has been started than to launching something new. The Sun-Saturn square tightens throughout the week and approaches exactness on Sunday; responsibilities, boundaries and postponed burdens are on the agenda. Mars advances through Gemini with a quick, communicative energy, but because of the Mercury retrograde this energy is best channeled into concrete work rather than hasty words. After the Full Moon the Moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in its waning phase.
