New Moon in Cancer, 4 July: your 9th house
On Sunday 4 July the Moon and the Sun meet at 11°57′ Cancer, at 03:02 UTC; for Scorpio that degree lies in the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this July the planting is in your 9th house, the God, where the tradition looks for a beginning that widens the map, through travel, a teacher or a book. For Scorpio this July, Cancer makes the mood tender and watchful, attentive to who is safe and who is not.
If you want something to do with this July lunation, share something you know with someone who is starting out.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Scorpio forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Capricorn, 18 July: your 3rd house, penumbral lunar eclipse
The Full Moon is exact at 15:45 UTC on Sunday 18 July, with the Moon at 25°48′ Capricorn and the Sun opposite in Cancer. For Scorpio the Moon lights your 3rd house, the house of words, siblings and short journeys, while the Sun stands across in your 9th.
At a Full Moon the Moon faces the Sun across the sky, and this July it faces it from your 3rd house, the Goddess, lighting the result of a stretch of study, writing or negotiation. Set in your 3rd house, the July lunation takes its tone from its sign: Capricorn lends it structure, endurance and dry humor. With the Sun across the chart in your 9th house, the July Full Moon speaks along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
This Full Moon is also a lunar eclipse, a Full Moon close to the nodes, when the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow, and for Scorpio it darkens the 3rd house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 16:03 UTC with the Moon at 25°57′ Capricorn in Scorpio’s 3rd house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. The tradition reads the darkened Moon here as words that finally land, sometimes long after they were spoken.
If you want something to do with this July lunation, take one short trip without a reason beyond going.
Planets changing sign or direction in July
Venus enters Cancer on 3 July, your 9th house. Until 27 July, with Venus in the house of the God, the tradition reads a spell for pilgrimages of the pleasant kind and for love that widens your world.
Mercury turns direct in Gemini, in your 8th house: the backward loop that began on 10 June ends, and plans that stalled can move again, a little slowly at first. The turn comes on 4 July, at 27°28′ Gemini. For Scorpio what was under review in shared money and debts, and inheritance can begin to move after 4 July, though the tradition counsels a few more days before signing or launching anything large.
Neptune turns retrograde in Aries, your 6th house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 10 July, at 6°39′ Aries, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Scorpio’s health routines and service through July.
Mercury enters Cancer on 12 July, your 9th house. Until 2 August, with Mercury in the house of the God, the tradition reads a spell for big questions, good teachers and travel arrangements.
On 15 July Mars moves into Libra, which is your 12th house. Until 2 September, Mars in your 12th house works out of sight: private effort, hidden frustration and energy that wants quiet discipline.
On 23 July at 01:05 UTC the Sun crosses into Leo, which for Scorpio is the 10th house. Until 23 August, the Sun at your Midheaven, the 10th house, makes a month when career and reputation are in plain view.
Jupiter enters Virgo on 26 July, its first change of sign in a year, and moves into your 11th house. Jupiter in your 11th house is in its joy, the Good Spirit: the tradition reads a year of friends, benefactors and hopes that find support.
Venus enters Leo on 27 July, your 10th house. Until 20 August, with the lesser benefic at your Midheaven, the tradition reads a favorable spell for career dealings, especially the diplomatic ones.
Love, work and money for Scorpio in July
Venus begins July in Gemini, your 8th house, and enters Cancer, your 9th, on 3 July, and enters Leo, your 10th, on 27 July, turning affection toward how a relationship fits beside a career, and the public face of a partnership.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 11th, into Libra (your 12th) on 15 July, so the drive of the month shifts toward work behind the scenes, research and anything done out of public view.
For money, Mercury turns direct in your 8th on 4 July: the house of what is shared and owed. The tradition would make July a time to review debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life in Gemini’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
Questions to carry through July
- Is my faith growing, or only being kept?
- What am I learning, and what am I only consuming?
- What must be surrendered so trust can deepen?
