Calling In the Capricorn Full Moon

Dear Friend and Reader:

As I was preparing to write about this Sunday's powerful Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto, I happened to read a 2015 article by Asam Ahmad titled, "What Makes Call-Out Culture So Toxic." I realized the article speaks to one possible level of experiencing this Full Moon, or one of its messages.

The astrological setup is that the Sun in Cancer will oppose the Moon in Capricorn, exact just before 12:07 am EDT on July 9 (04:06:30 UTC). The Moon will be precisely one degree away from a conjunction to Pluto.

The Sun and Moon are both making their way to square Uranus and Eris in Aries, though the Moon will make its square later the same day.

Uranus and Eris in Aries are emblematic of much of the social and political chaos we're currently living in -- particularly as it is experienced via (and is shaped by) digital media.

In this Full Moon chart, Uranus-Eris represents not only our cultural environment, but the way that environment is provoking us -- both consciously and unconsciously -- and creating a sense of tension you may need to act on.

With the Moon-Pluto conjunction, we get an image of deep emotional transformation, particularly with regard to what has seemed previously set in stone. It also speaks of a sense of loneliness that can be inherent in such a personal, internal process. The Cancer Sun in opposition sets up an interesting dynamic: emotional sensitivity, but of the kind that could potentially get overly concerned with what's going on within others, or get a little defensive in reaction to what's being mirrored.

It speaks of the urge to seek safety by identifying with one's 'tribe' or family in reaction to some interpersonal confrontation -- such as being faced with changes that are beyond one's control; or even the attempt to control those changes and others' emotions anyway.

If Your Birthday is July 7
(The Day of Imaginative Revelations) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Maintain a dialog with people in positions of authority and you will maintain your independence. A civilized, ongoing conversation is essential because you've reached a phase of your life where you simply cannot be under anyone's thumb. Yet you're the one who is wholly responsible for keeping your ongoing affairs on an adult-to-adult level.

Written in the Planets
On one side of the equation are all the ideas your mother had about what is 'good for you'. On the other side, your inner child yearning to run free and let something loose, come hell or high water. Yet you may find neither of those options quite squares with the nagging feeling (also known as intuition) that the seeming conflict could point you to a deeper level of awareness and healing. That's where the key lies, if you can use any tension you're feeling as a springboard for investigation and integration. Today Ceres in Gemini makes an exact square to Chiron in Pisces. The Sagittarius Moon breezes through the aspect pattern just as it's exact, picking up on Pholus along the way. If you're still rebelling in any way against your mother's nurturance (or lack thereof), this could be a good time to begin figuring out why, on the doorstep of the Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto.

Astrology can help you. In the right hands, astrology can provide you with a new perspective on your life. My readings are designed to help you consider all of your possibilities, your greatest potential, and to help you see your problems in a new light. I'm about to record the Cancer reading for you. If you order now, you'll get the best pre-order price of $33. Shortly before publication, it'll be $44 and then the final price will be $55. These readings condense 22 years of my counseling experience, nonstop reflection on the human condition and lots of excellent astrology. They are in plain talk, easy to follow, and paced gently. They are some of my best work; these readings are an invention. And you can have all the benefits. I plan to do this reading next week -- earlier than usual, so get on board before the next two price increases. Here's how to pre-order. If you're seeking a private consultation, here's that link.

Daily Horoscope for July 7, 2017 | By Eric Francis Coppolino

If Today is Your Birthday

Maintain a dialog with people in positions of authority and you will maintain your independence. A civilized, ongoing conversation is essential because you've reached a phase of your life where you simply cannot be under anyone's thumb. Yet you're the one who is wholly responsible for keeping your ongoing affairs on an adult-to-adult level. You share a birthday with Jon Pertwee, Ringo Starr and Ana Kasparian.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Developing one's creativity is sometimes a matter of will, and sometimes it's a matter of necessity. The urgency might include the need to express yourself in a way that requires a special mode of communication. And it might be about recovering some aspect of your child-soul.

You can now pre-order all 12 signs of the new Midyear Reading by Eric Francis, In the Shadow of the Moon, for the introductory price of just $66. Just in time for the Great American Eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017, Eric will record a helpful, top-quality video reading. Get your copy today.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Sex and money issues always come back to authority issues in some form. You now have a beautiful opportunity to address your relationship to people you perceive as powerful. This also includes addressing any feelings of lacking power that you may experience. First, observe and make some notes.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- The way to get to the next level -- be it of your work, your creativity, your relationships, or your life in general -- is to use all of your intelligence. That starts with feeling; it proceeds to hearing, then to seeing, and then to thinking. Use your whole brain. You have it for a reason.

The astrology section of the Gemini birthday reading has been recorded, and the Tarot reading will follow soon. Order here to get instant access, whether for yourself or the Gemini you love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- It's that time of the month again: Moon conjunct the unusual, potent planet Pholus. That's the one cautioning about alcohol, or using any substance that facilitates loss of control or puts you in a haze. Even if you stay home, be mindful and maintain your awareness. Pay attention.

Your 2017 Cancer Birthday Reading is now available to pre-order at the earliest price. Eric intends to record this reading soon, so be sure to pre-order today before the price increases. Eric's birthday readings are accurate, friendly and long-lasting, and they make the perfect gift.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- You may be riding some ups and downs at the moment. You're tapping into deep inner mojo, and you have a lot you want to express. By mid-afternoon, when the Moon enters Capricorn, you'll cool off and be able to get some work done. Till then, go one careful step at a time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- If certain household or family situations seem too volatile to handle, back off and let things cool off. The more you stir the brew, the more potent it will become. If you take some distance and let the situation run its course, things will be significantly more chilled by evening.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Maintain a posture of humility, difficult though it may be in these times. Be respectful, even though respect seems like something that belongs in a display in a museum. You have important work to do, and you simply must not let your ego get in the way of your talent and wisdom.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- You must be cautious and alert today and through the weekend, as potent forces are at work. They are potentially disruptive, yet can also guide you through a series of breakthroughs. But you must be gentle on yourself and on others, as an hour-to-hour yoga.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Keep your temper, and divert your energy in creative directions. You would best work alone; all the better to avoid conflict and to maintain your concentration. Check regularly that you're on-purpose. There's a significant difference between activity and productivity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Refuse to let anxiety run away with you this morning. It's most likely to come in the form of 'there's something that I don't know', a stress factor around mystery. Resolve to be patient for a few hours. At about 2 pm the Moon enters your sign, and that will come as a relief.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Best to avoid starting any of the wild social media tornadoes that's just so popular these days. You might avoid making any public statements, or pressing 'send' on any important correspondence, until later in the day or, better still, tomorrow. There's a wild psychic wind blowing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Maintain spin control at all times, which probably means saying nothing for several hours today. You have more important things to do than chatter away, in whatever form: there's a powerful cosmic intelligence coming through you right now, that you can harness and use productively.
