Moon in Aquarius
The spider watching silly flies could be Jeff Sessions, who is bringing charges against doctors and others who have been profiting from the opioid trade while their "patients" (victims) suffer even to the point of suicide. It could be (as it has been for so long) Robert Mueller. It could be congressional Republicans who are angry with Rod Rosenstein. It could be Trump or Putin or . . . People may be "closing in on the prey." Five retrograde planets help them gather evidence from the past.
Fidelity to ceremonies, rituals, everyday or weekend routines which have sustained you previously could sustain you now in a strong manner.
The five retrograde planets suggest profiting from the past, from memory and recollection and review, from history and what others, including so-called "dead" people, have accomplished.
You stand out in some groups of people, and this could make you popular, yet you focus not on the approbation (which is temporary) but on what you are trying to achieve.
We are interconnected with all others in varying complexes of experience, and these unsuspected yet real attachments come to the surface in interesting ways.
Strong imagination, engendering what it envisages, plus connections with eminent persons at a distance could bring you distinction.
Luna with Mars and in an X square with other planets could keep us active both mentally and physically. Through the activity modest yet steadfast gains secure contentment.

Law and order, and the Mueller investigation, and the Supreme Court, are in the news or in people's thoughts. Who is the clever detective-lawyer and who are the silly flies? (I am not pretending to have the answer up my sleeve!)
There is congeniality, "A houseboat part," with another Grand Trine in water signs, this time the sun, Jupiter and Neptune. Parties can be good while the moon is v-of-c, provided everyone is just basically decent and careful (prophylactic against the usual party consciousness which is deliberately the opposite of decent and careful).
The retrospective, in consciousness, can be as good as the prospective (five retrograde planets including Mars now). This could be your own memories, or reflections borrowed from books, movies or conversations.
Ambitions are with us (moon in Capricorn) but are not overweening and deserve a rest while the moon is v-of-c. Modesty and humility bring contentment.
Being popular, maybe unexpectedly, is a thrill while it lasts (Venus in Leo at the center of a Yod formation). But there is no reason to cling to such approbation in an unseemly manner.
Pride and obstinacy can amount to foolishness, but we see that in others before we see it in ourselves. Running the wrong way on a football field is pretty embarrassing. However, all have made their booboos, and there is joviality, sympathy with one another's weaknesses, and frank comradeship.

\Difficult Times Do Not Impede Amiability/
Moon in Capricorn
|Karmically sobering or challenging third| of this week continues
until Friday at 6:46a PT | 9:46a ET | 1:46p UT
(the most intense 24 hours of that period were pointed out in yesterday's report)
However, on Friday the moon will be void-of-course until very late in the evening. Things are not hopeless but we need fortitude.
Saying what one knows about everybody could be gossip, or slander, or just interesting conversation, but could have a payback.
The moon with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn gives a focus on study or learning, instruction given or received. This can be detailed and demands concentration but is interesting.
What seems old, decayed, or decadent, or just out of fashion, can still be worth reviewing and appreciating, whether universal or personal history.
Worldly seductions ever tempt us away from "the strait and narrow" or conventional, faithful family-community loyalties. One might abandon oneself to a hidden attachment (moon conjoining Pluto which is tri-septile Venus). If your life is not that banefully colorful, you could be hearing or reading about such thrilling but questionable connections.
You may be popular briefly with a friend who is momentarily in trouble. There is joviality even when there are indiscretions, a sharing of weaknesses within comradeship.
Someone in a powerful position whom you admire is truly good and shines with brilliant schemes plus generosity. You benefit from her or his efforts.

|Karmically sobering or challenging third| of this week is with us until Friday morning
/moon remains void-of-course
until it enters Capricorn at 8:53a PT | 11:53a ET | 3:53p UT
The center and (theoretically) most difficult point in the |difficult third| occurs at 8:34p PT | 11:34p ET | 3:34a(Th) UT today
and so the most difficult 24 hour period of this week, from one perspective, could begin today at 8:34a PT | 11:34a ET | 3:34p UT and continue until exactly one day later on Thursday morning. Don't be surprised if some things seem bleak to you. If you're 40, you've been through the |difficult third| at least 2,080 times, so there is nothing to fear. On the other hand, I maintain based on decades of observation that there are more accidents, desperate or violent crimes and suicides during these periods. The problem is that no matter how many times one has been through this, it can seem overwhelming while it lasts. But of course there are other, brighter aspects to tune in to, such as the sun's increasing trine with Jupiter and Neptune, another Grand Trine to bless the next couple of weeks. We can use that. Let faith lead!
The Supreme Court, as I write on Tuesday, has just made a couple of quite conservative decisions, in accord with the exact opposition of the sun with Saturn, the most conservative planet of all. This might be for the good, ultimately. Saturn says "Slow down." It believes in the status quo. And so the Court did not overturn the President's right to determine immigration and travel quotas, nor interfere with the right of pro-life groups to guide women to non-abortion solutions.
And the stock market is recovering. It generally doesn't like anything which rocks the boat.
Wednesday by symbols and aspects:
What are your excellencies? They are coming to the fore, which also means they are brought to the test, but you have an excellent chance of showing how strong they are. There is some area in which you are "the best." (We should solidify our successful approaches to gain or progress during the next 11 days, for the next Dark Hermetic Epoch, more confusing, begins on July 7.)
Ordinary associations with your usual groups are good for you, even if they require patience in the face of differing opinions.
If you feel antsy or impatient regarding some aspects of your current home or location, you might let your mind drift to the past, recalling a childhood home, or even a past life (in imagination if you can't get there any other way) and derive stability and contentment from those memories. Yet there is some good reason why you are where you are now.
Self-assertion to the point of bullying could be evident in some. Mars is stationary, which strengthens it, and at a critical degree, and squared to Uranus and Jupiter. Self-assurance ought not to be crude or cruel.
You can take advantage of your popularity at certain moments, while opportunity lasts. A desire to be "somewhere else" or to journey is restrained, because you need to "be here" to be a support and example for friends. You could be jovial and sympathetic while enjoying comradeship, for no matter your or friends' problems, you share frank liberality among one another, with or without libation!

It is not an easy time. Keywords for Saturn "bad" are Delay, Worry, Hindrance, and the like. It can be Modesty, Reserve, Seclusion, "holing up" to finish things. 'It just has to be done."
But the square of Venus and Jupiter can be negligence and indolence. Not helpful. The void-of-course situation covering most of the day exacerbates the problem.
Mapping out plans for the future is muted, yet some of those plans could be correct.
During happier moments there is a pageant of humanity's variety.
Looking to the past, even the ruins of the past, can be fortifying.
Using what wealth one has for mere play and pleasure is one possibility. It's a question of moderation.
Living for applause is natural, and good to a point, but depending on approbation too much could be depressing, for it comes and goes--and goes. Self-judgment and self-approval can be the corrective to fickle public response.
Who is a superior figure, as if an "angel in the sun"? Putin and Trump think themselves such, and many others. You? We all have superiority in some area. Or we may prefer to acknowledge someone else's glory and bask in reflected light.
Who in your life is innocent and harmless, a true friend? They are hard to come by. Treasuring them is promotive of happiness.

^Self-Expression One Way or Another^
Moon in Sagittarius
People may resent being parented by someone else, perhaps you; or you may resent being parented by someone. There can be a shakeup of "spiritual teachers" or "financial coaches" or "physical trainers" or "therapists" or "gurus," because one is evaluating their impact and their validity. (Venus square Jupiter in Scorpio which is the high-focus planet in a vise-shaped chart.)
One can detect injustice and falsehood easily.
There is an ingenuous quality, "the human soul awaiting opportunity for expression," which can come more easily today than on Sunday for Luna is forming a trine with Venus and sextile with Mars.
The past and thoughts of it need not be an obstacle but rather a support.
The opposition of the sun with Saturn is exact today, tomorrow, and the rest of the week. Delays, too many worries, old things to finish up. But we can do it because it is our karma, destiny or dharma. Aimlessness or laissez-faire drifting would just delay the moment of accounting which might then have to be paid with interest.
It is good to be loving and trustful even if one's over-optimistic view of people brings some betrayal or seeming unkindness. The loving and trustful one is the spiritual victor. Even if popularity is ephemeral, one's attitude of benignity wins heavenly approval.
A true friend or constant lover may not agree with you on everything yet still be true and wonderful.

A scientific study could be beneficial.
Companionship is sought, as in "an evening lawn party."
What is old is still alive. Retrospection can be good.
Attachments and connections form in surprising ways of which one may not be conscious.
Strong passions are fateful inclinations. Intense feelings could overrule reason and lead to grief. Within such grief a better path can be found.
Are your efforts endorsed, or repudiated? Popularity is ephemeral. Look for approbation to the Highest.
One can be patient, cautious and benevolent, and so gain advantage while enjoying magnificent surroundings.

/moon is void-of-course

< moon remains in the Via Combusta (until Saturday afternoon)
The keyword I gave for the once-in-three-years-or-so Venus opposite Mars aspect is Interference. But another keyword for it could be Misunderstanding. People do not see eye to eye, which is one significance of "opposition." One feels someone's misunderstanding as interference, as it were.
This could be specially true in early hours today while Luna is both void-of-course and in the Via Combusta. It could remain true in the afternoon and evening when it remains in the Via Combusta. This is a loss of morale, often, as "What does all this mean? Is my life going anywhere? Am I living in the wrong place? What about children or young people? I am missing them." People have their own paths to follow and may feel there is no room for anyone on their path but themselves! That makes for loneliness or despair. We need to overcome that, however we can, given the prevalence of suicide in the past year or more. Some "light near the end of the tunnel" could come on Saturday.
There is a desire to travel, yet a sense that this is futile because of financial or other limits, so one may feel imprisoned. Yet there could be considerable beauty in one's environment if one opens oneself to it. Even there could be, for a while, the delight of "children on a swing in a huge oak tree." If this were only memory, even that is something. Observing others happy can be one's own happiness, if one takes the attitude of accepting and owning it.
Antiquity, or something from way back in one's childhood which seems ancient now, could be meaningful and strengthening.
Even those who seem indolent, as beggars, have something to contribute to one's consciousness in some way or other.
Popularity comes and goes, but even a brief taste of it can be exhilarating. Since it's Friday, one may "throw over" the inhibiting factors I have been mentioning and "go for" some indulgence. "A man and woman are seated at a table where viands and wine are lavishly abundant." If this doesn't work out directly, it could at a distance, for attachments one has formed remain real in consciousness.

/ the moon goes void-of-course at 6:35p PT | 9:35p ET | 1:35a(F) UT
I have given the keyword "interference" for the opposition of Venus and Mars, exact right now, and exact on Monday and exact today and tomorrow and still with us a while after that. It was Interference in a big way for me today. I have spent an hour and a half trying to make it possible even for me to write this, with computer problems, Internet problems, weird inexplainable technological problems, not even solved after restarting the computer, though now at least I can write this. It will be brief because the Techno Monster has eaten up the time I had to write it. (The Techno Delay Monster also got a foothold with the sun's growing opposition with Saturn, for Saturn is the planet of delay. "What's your hurry?" he leers. And now I have to restart my astrology program.)
But we carry on. I do not have time to look at the symbols for the day.
The homicide of XXXTentacion on Monday may seem way in the background of events, for most of us, yet somehow I have seen that it hits a nerve and is a symbol of something important in the universal human consciousness. His latest album, ?, is being listened to more than any other in these days following his death. (Two tracks from it are presented below.)
I gave a mini-interpretation of some aspects of XXX's chart yesterday. Now let's look at what was going on in the sky on Monday. Oh, remarkably, there was another killing (in a drive-by shootout) of another rap star at just about exactly the same hour. 3:57pm Florida time is almost the same as 4:25pm Pennsylvania time (both Eastern) and those were the times of the two shootings. The moon in Virgo was forming a quincunx with Mars in Aquarius, exact within three degrees. That is about the maximum orb I allow for quincunxes in real-time charts. They can show upset, anger of violence when Mars is involved. Once I was sitting in Washington Square Park on the lawn reading a book and someone threw an egg at me. I looked at my charts and the moon was quincunx Mars within minutes of that "attack."
Mars is in Aquarius, at a critical degree and moving almost not at all, stationary before it turns direct on the 26th, which makes it very powerful by two criteria. That is very significant because Aquarius, in a general mundane way (mundane astrology is the astrology of current events) rules "free brown-blacks" in old lingo (evolved when there was still black slavery) and so has a lot to do with rap stars at the present time, especially because it is Mars (ruling young males) which is in question.
Now Venus in Leo is opposite that Mars, and moving up to it by less then four degrees at the time of the killings. Venus certainly has a lot to do with XXX, since he was facing serious charges of assault of his girlfriend and other complications. Now I hear that at his memorial service his girlfriend was excluded or pushed away from it. How sad and strange, and yet there was some clash of loyalties and perhaps some sexism with the Venus-opposite Mars aspect which as I said could be a "battle of the sexes" aspect.
What else? A lot more than I have time to point out here. Mars on Monday was at 8 Aquarius 49, and Uranus in XXX's chart is at 8 Aquarius 23. An exact conjunction of a stationary Mars with XXX's Uranus! Mars-Uranus aspects are considered by astrologers, and have been since shortly after Herschel's discovery of Uranus (originally called Herschel), violent aspects. Nobody like this but the evidence piles up. Of course, people who have good karma and are trying hard to be responsible generally do not suffer violence when they have Mars-Uranus aspects but experience some other sort of shake-up requiring some readjustment in their lives.
XXX is also part of a generation which has Uranus in Aquarius, and I discussed that generation months ago after the shootings in Parkland High in Florida when those students with Uranus in Aquarius presented such a strong united front against gun violence. "All is connected" in more amazing ways than non-astrologers could ever realize. Astrology is the science of Formal Cause, a type of causation recognized by Aristotle but never even suspected by most contemporary "scientists" who still, despite advances in "strange physics," cling to the old billiard-ball visualization of causation prevalent in the 16th and 17th centuries. The planets are not billiard balls, and neither are we.
Uranus means "Independence" according to Marc Edmund Jones. XXX was Independent to an extreme. He shows what can go wrong with that planet, and with Aquarians (he had four planets in the sign including his sun), if Independence becomes belligerence or cruelty.
But we look to the better always, and humanity is learning how to be Uranian and Aquarian in humane and loving ways, very slowly, with some backtracking as part of the process it seems. XXX was really a sensitive soul and his album could be considered one of confession, repentance and offering to G*d (or deified humanity), even though not overtly or conventionally religious. You will see what I mean if you listen to these two tracks from ? :

We have our hands full. You may have noticed that you get delayed in what you are trying to finish and have to keep at it beyond normal work hours.
The Grand Trine of Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune is wonderful at some spiritual level, with marvelous dreams and visions and a sense of spiritual security. But the oppositions and squares keep us focused in outer practicalities to complete.
There are dire possibilities, "an execution," but these will be in proportion to one's karma and what one needs to learn. One may become aware of deep problems others have gotten themselves into. There is mercy as well as karma, let us remember, if we invoke it in the right manner (which may depend on one's religious or spiritual orientation).
One can be deft in performing an art or skill one has developed through "hard knocks."
The unambitious side of us takes even our ambitions as something to be pursued in a gentle rather than striving manner.
Seduction and persuasion could be arts of deception, or not, or there is craftiness somewhere in others or yourself. But if all that is used in the pursuit of valid loyalties, it becomes a virtue rather than a vice, or we hope so anyway. One has to take a stand for something.
There could be display in a milieu where luxurious habits abound: "A fine chateau, with gardens and terraces. In the foreground a peacock in full feather struts leisurely." Then there is comradeship to the point of perhaps indiscreet frankness, with a shared knowledge of human weakness and character: "Two men seated at a table with beakers of wine before them."
I suppose I ought to warn against going to far in the trends of the previous paragraph, since we are in the |challenging third| period. However, today and tomorrow are the peak of the year, from a solar viewpoint, the Summer Solstice, so some celebration may be appropriate.

P. S. I have to say something about the surprising death by homicide of XXXTentacion, whose birth name was Jahseh Onfroy. It happened Monday afternoon in Florida. He was only 20 and was a rising star in the world of current music. His birthdate is January 23, 1998. He was an Aquarian, and a powerful one, with not only the sun there but Mars, Jupiter and Uranus, the sign's ruler. Very powerful. And I might say dangerous, because male Aquarians have a propensity either to violence or to being fascinated by violence. Perhaps they want to cure violence in others, yet become involved in it in trying to cure it; or perhaps they perpetrate it in the name of love, as in "You always hurt the one you love." Aquarian males can be, sometimes, sadists looking for masochists, even if they do not realize that about themselves. So it was with Jahseh, or XXXTentacion, for he had been in a juvenile detention center and later, as his career was blossoming, faced charges of assaulting, strangling and imprisoning his girl friend. Yet his music, which I listened to today, is sensitive, often, and shows signs of spiritual yearning in its unconventional manner. He was a good soul, I believe, whose horoscope, because of his past lives, was one requiring enormous self-management and development of awareness in order to avoid tragedy. This is shown by a number of indications, including the moon conjoined to Pluto, with both of them squaring the Jupiter-Mars conjunction in Aquarius! His bundle-shaped chart, with all the planets within the defining trine of moon and Saturn in fire signs, shows insistence and self-intentness, like a gyroscope spinning on its own axis. Not much room for compromise there, nor in the absence of water signs. Years ago I read a long description of a youth who had no planets in water signs and no one including his parents could understand his lack of ordinary human kindness. However, Jahseh or XXXTEntacion could have overcome that because someone with the lack of one element can spend a large part of his life trying to overcome that lack, as doubtless he was doing with his girlfriend, in an errant or amoral or perhaps simply wrong manner. Also his songs seem to express his attempt to "become human" or develop the sympathy and humanity of the water signs. His chart has genius possibilities and it is sad that he did not remain in incarnation long enough to polish them fully.

|Karmically difficult or challenging third| of this week begins at 2:24p PT | 5:24p ET | 9:24p UT

However, it is present also during the longer span indicated above.
Oh how I would love to say every day "Beautiful day! Take off from work and go to the beach! No worries! All is well and the world is your oyster and harmony and love are our gift from the gods!"
I want to say it but I am an astrologer who has observed what actually happens during all the kinds of daily aspects I have been able to observe for several decades, so I have to be "realistic" which I hope does not have to be a synonym of gloomy or grouchy.
Anyway, with the sun and Mercury both opposite Saturn by the orb I have carefully worked out over the decades, and Venus opposite Mars by normal orb (it happens only once every two to three years, around the time when Mars turns retrograde as he will on the 26th), we do have our work to do and our tensions to resolve. "Interference" is a term for Venus opposite Mars; yet we have the same term in football, "to run interference," suggesting that one does not have to be a victim of it. So we are "running interference" now to prevent something or someone or ourselves from being tackled or defeated.
There is also the simply slow, patient work detailed by the sun moving to its annual opposition with Saturn over the next couple of weeks. Yes, there is the beach, yet we do have that slow patient work to accomplish also. I hope that being aware of this will make it easier to "tackle" it and get it out of the way so one can also enjoy the good weather or other benefits summer brings.
The longest days of the year at the Summer Solstice (exact late on the 20th and early on the 21st) are wonderful. We might "latch onto them" in experience, memory and muse; to "hold them" to ourselves as a promise of immortal life and unending glorious light-filled consciousness of beatitude.
Tuesday: It is good to be kind rather than cruel when correcting someone. Punishment doesn't work but making someone aware of problems caused by wrong behavior can work.
One gains surety through "the constellations in the sky" and summer evenings are great times to see them. What does not change grants surety to our changeable, variable lives.
To remain contented while facing and fielding pressures is a key to rising beyond them and living in a way whereby they cannot hurt one but strengthen one.
We have our dreams and hopes but there is doubt and change, and we are tempted to succumb to that, thinking that nothing is worth doing ultimately. That is a trend toward suicide, which can begin internally before performed externally. We need to stop that at its roots through faith and hope. In what? In what you have found yourself able to trust immortally.
It helps to see others dramatize what we believe, and we help them by dramatizing our faith in true living. Then we do not just feel superior egoistically but can rise to a level where we actually are superior to travails and worries. You have your own scepter within the field of life wherein you are a central figure. Through moral courage your superiority is innocent and harmless, and you are a true friend, acting from the heart as much as from the head.

\Aspiration Within Fruitful Contentment/
Moon in Virgo
There should be good luck in the immediate neighborhood, and allso through co-workers.
I like Charubel's symbol for the sun's degree: "A baronial mansion with spacious park abounding with gigantic trees." Yet he does not emphasize the luxuriousness of the scene but says it indicates a student of antiquity, a profound scholar. Read a book in a park or expansive yard?
Yet the generations mingle: "An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl." The contrasts do not detract from but enhance each other.
An easy approach to life, following the routine of ordinary work, could be peaceful and contenting.
Again from Signor Borelli we have "A large and well cultivated tract of land." Maybe a good day to be outdoors. Sepharial says it indicates Fruitfulness.
The more virile part of the day centers in the opposition of Mars and Venus. This is not necessarily "the war of the sexes" but could border on it. There could be prowess and deeds of daring. People are trying to dramatize their virtues, skills, and courageousness. If not direct conflict, it is an attempt to rise above restrictions.
"A round temple with pointed roof" is still with us, for the final day. We have been searching into our spiritual foundations. Perhaps you have been very conscious of the outward things you do to stay linked with the Best: rituals, altars, temples, churches, synagogues, uplifting groups, or just photos of what inspires you or books of inspiration and the like.

Answer to Question about Void-of-Course
Nan, I'm surprised that you haven't noticed the thousands of words I have written about this and posted here, almost every time there is a void of course. I try to explain it somewhat differently each time based on other aspects also.
But in general: Things are unusual, for good or bad. There is no absolute formula for what to do. Watch these times carefully to figure out how to use them.
We want freedom during these times! So we may drop usual schedules and try something novel. Will that help or hurt? It could go either way.
Generally If you want to schedule a meeting or conference or negotiating session, it could be a bad time for that. People may not know what they really want. They might agree to something and then back out.
Also, trying something new, if you want it to be long lasting or have a future, could be futile. Example: I set up an Instagram account a week ago on a day the moon was void of course all day. I thought, good time to try something novel and it doesn't matter if it fails. Well, it was wonderful for a few days; I had 17 followers out of nowhere. Then one day the account was gone. I tried recovering it multiple ways and with different browsers but nothing worked. I set up another account on another v of c day and it is still there but I have only two followers and feel it to be a waste of my time. This is one thing that can happen in v of c.
But it can be good for (a) routine things which rarely go wrong and (b) outre, out of bounds things you want to try for the sheer fun of it (but probably not roller coaster rides). I am writing this during a v of course period on Friday in a bar, but I am very sober! Thanks for the question, Nan.
