New Moon July 2017 Astrology

The astrology of new moon July 2017 is pretty easy to interpret. Forget about all the aspect lines in the chart below and just look at the new moon, the sun and moon symbols at the beginning of Leo. The closeness of Mars makes this new moon one about action and reaction. It carries a lot of potential for aggression, sex and war. The new moon and Mars square Uranus makes this hot and potentially destructive energy more erratic, unpredictable, dangerous and explosive.

Mars square Uranus urges us to break the shackles and raise our voice against authority. Acting rashly without thinking about consequences can bring upon disruption and even violence in your life. on the other hand, being aware of the dynamic energy of this New Moon can instead lead to inventive and creative breakthroughs and a reinvigorated personal life.

Find yourself a place or an area where you can break the rules, have some fun and enjoy life to the fullest. You cannot restrain this erratic energy so must express your crazy, creative or sexy side in a safe environment. If your job includes a lot of sitting and repetitive tasks, then you should find a creative outlet socially, sexually or though a hobby.

Your goal is to vetn out your kinky or dangerous desires in a safe way without affecting or hurting others. An original outlook may lead to works of creative brilliance or scientific breakthroughs. However, you should avoid impulsive actions and taking dangerous risks. Lack of attention and concentration can lead to accidents, especially when driving or working with electricity or technology. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

New moon July 2017 conjunct Mars places the focus more on your desires and actions than change, excitement or higher awareness. It allows a conscious control over your actions to a certain extent, but be ready for a lot of impulsiveness . If you start worrying about personal freedom, change or accidents then you have to first go through Mars.

New Moon conjunct Mars brings abundant energy and initiative which should be burnt up in a constructive way, otherwise there could be damaging consequences. Mars square Uranus makes this even more critical. If this hot energy were to build up in the body, it would be spontaneously released without control. Such a release of uncontrolled hot energy would be rapid and destructive, hurting yourself or others.

Remaining unaware of the buildup of energy can lead to accidents, aggression, temper tantrums, and even violence or rape. You will initially notice the buildup of energy as irritation, annoyance or impatience. An inflated ego and abrupt attitude means than working alone is the best option. If you feel an argument brewing or someone provokes you, it would be wiser to back down to stop things escalating.

Another good idea is apply your creative energies to artwork, or even better sculpture, and other creative pursuits such as dance. Physical activity is preferable but the brain can also burn up a lot of energy. Sex drive can go through the roof and baby making fits the role as both creative and productive, enjoyable too. You can express your identity through physical actions.

You want to burn up as much of this hot Mars energy as you can in a safe and controlled way, before it explodes uncontrollably through Uranus. Hard work is the answer, physical if possible. Housework and gardening are productive uses if you do not have a physically demanding job. Sex is more enjoyable but should be consensual with a willing partner. Otherwise, too much of Uranus may leave a nasty taste.

Asteroid Sisyphus at 0°41′ Leo is only 0°03′ from the new moon. It leaves no doubts that hard work is the best way to diffuse the aggression of new moon July 2017. Sisyphus was a king from Greek mythology:

He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it come back to hit him, repeating this action for eternity … tasks that are both laborious and futile are described as Sisyphean. [Wiki]
