The Moon slips into Capricorn's steady embrace at 1:54 am PDT, but the early morning hours test that composure. At 5:36 am, she squares Saturn, like trying to climb a mountain with lead weights on your ankles. Six minutes later, Neptune adds its fog at 6:04 am, making the path unclear just when you need sure footing most. This is a day that asks you to build something real while the ground keeps shifting beneath you. Capricorn's natural ambition meets Saturn's harsh lessons and Neptune's dissolving mist, creating a strange alchemy where dreams and discipline must somehow find common ground.
If it's your Birthday this week: July 6-12
With your solar return Sun conjunct Mercury, this year marks a period where your identity becomes deeply intertwined with communication, learning, and mental expression - you'll find yourself more articulate and mentally energized than usual, with opportunities to teach, write, or share your ideas taking center stage in your personal development. The Venus trine Uranus aspect brings delightful surprises in love and money, suggesting that unconventional relationships or sudden financial windfalls may emerge in your life through unexpected channels - perhaps via technology, social networks, or progressive ventures that align with your authentic self-expression. However, the Jupiter square Uranus creates an underlying tension between your desire for growth and stability versus the pull toward radical change and freedom, meaning you may find yourself torn between safe expansion and exciting but unpredictable opportunities that could disrupt your established plans. The key to navigating this solar return successfully lies in using the clear thinking of your Sun-Mercury conjunction to make wise decisions about which Uranian innovations truly serve your Jupiterian growth rather than getting swept away by every exciting possibility that presents itself.
