New Moon in Cancer, 4 July: your 3rd house
The New Moon is exact at 03:02 UTC on Sunday 4 July, at 11°57′ Cancer. Counted by whole signs from Taurus, Cancer is your 3rd house, the house of words, siblings and short journeys.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in July that beginning is made in your 3rd house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Goddess, and it is read as a beginning in learning, the kind that starts with one honest question. Set in your 3rd house, the July lunation takes its tone from its sign: 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, begin a small course of study, even if it is one chapter a week.
Beyond the Sun sign

See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Capricorn, 18 July: your 9th house, penumbral lunar eclipse
On Sunday 18 July the Moon comes full at 25°48′ Capricorn, at 15:45 UTC, facing the Sun in Cancer; for Taurus it fills the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning, from across the 3rd.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the July axis runs through your 9th house, the God, showing what you truly believe, which sometimes differs from what you say you believe. For Taurus this July, Capricorn lends it structure, endurance and dry humor. Read as an axis, from your 9th house to your 3rd, this July Full Moon runs along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
Astronomically the July Full Moon is a penumbral lunar eclipse: the Moon crosses only the Earth’s faint outer shadow, a dimming many people never notice, here in your 9th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 16:03 UTC with the Moon at 25°57′ Capricorn in Taurus’s 9th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. The tradition reads the darkened Moon here as a time to examine conviction with humility, rather than defend it loudly.
One way for Taurus to meet it in July: spend an hour in a place of worship, a library or under an open sky.
Planets changing sign or direction in July
Venus enters Cancer on 3 July, your 3rd house. Until 27 July, Venus in your 3rd house sweetens your words: kind messages, warmer dealings with siblings and neighbors, and pleasure in small journeys.
Mercury stations direct in Gemini, your 2nd house, and begins to move forward again, closing the loop it began on 10 June. The turn comes on 4 July, at 27°28′ Gemini. From 4 July the matters of your 2nd house, possessions and what you value among them, are read as ready to move forward again, gently at first.
Neptune turns retrograde in Aries, your 12th 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 Taurus’s hidden patterns, and prayer and the inner life through July.
On 12 July Mercury moves into Cancer, which is your 3rd house. Until 2 August, Mercury in your 3rd house is at home in the house of words: messages multiply, errands pile up and learning comes easily.
Mars crosses into Libra on 15 July and so into your 6th house. Until 2 September, with the lesser malefic in the place it rejoices, the old books would set it to work: exercise, problem-solving and tasks that need force.
The Sun enters Leo, your 4th house, on 23 July at 01:05 UTC. Until 23 August, with the Sun in your house of roots, the season turns inward, toward the household, the past and the people who are family.
Jupiter enters Virgo on 26 July, its first change of sign in a year, and moves into your 5th house. Jupiter in your 5th house is read as a year of joy: romance, creativity and children all have more room, and pleasure is easier to justify.
Venus enters Leo on 27 July, your 4th house. Until 20 August, Venus in your 4th house brings affection home: a spell for making the house beautiful and for mending things with family.
Love, work and money for Taurus in July
Venus begins July in Gemini, your 2nd house, and enters Cancer, your 3rd, on 3 July, and enters Leo, your 4th, on 27 July, turning affection toward living together, family plans and the private life a couple shares.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 5th, into Libra (your 6th) on 15 July, so the drive of the month shifts toward the daily job, colleagues, workload and routine, most directly of all the houses.
For money, Mercury turns direct in your 2nd on 4 July: the house of what you earn and own. For Taurus that points July’s attention to income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses; it is a timing, not a forecast of gain or loss.
Questions to carry through July
- What am I learning, and what am I only consuming?
- Is my faith growing, or only being kept?
- Am I being paid in a way that matches what I give?
