The first day of July arrives under a sky stretched taut between two poles. The Moon is full — or nearly so, glowing at 98% in the sign of Capricorn — and it stands directly across the sky from Mercury, which is currently moving backward through its course.
Something significant shifts in the sky today. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, moves out of Cancer and into Leo — and it will stay there for roughly a year. If you want a simple picture of what that means: imagine the most generous, expansive, optimistic force in astrology walking…

Saturday arrives with the sky lit almost to the full — the Moon is a swollen, luminous thing in Sagittarius, ninety-four percent of her face caught in light, and her restless fire energy makes the day feel larger than an ordinary weekend, as though the horizon has been pushed back a few miles.
Today the Moon swells through Scorpio, bright and nearly full, casting a luminous and searching quality over everything — the kind of light that makes you want to look beneath surfaces, to feel what is really there.
