24th Lunar Day 
1:51
This Lunar Day is propitious to traditions, the family, social work or common ventures, but also injustice.

Moon in Taurus

Suitable energy for practical activities, making money, business, building, engineering, woodworking, sculpting, pottery, cooking, massage, healing, meditating, contemplating, being still and content, artistic, sensual. All pleasurable activities. Purchase of beautiful objects, furniture, furnishings, clothes, flowers, art works, jewellery, land.
Lunar Day 24
In the European tradition, this day is of no account and is considered to be absolutely neutral, but Veda and Avesta emphasise that it increases physical energy and sexuality, and inclines to arguments, risks and rivalry. It is not recommended to start anything, especially with the hopes of significant financial results.
Vronsky:
This day can be named neutral, indifferent. It won't bring any harm if you will continue to do something that was started earlier.

Symbol — the bear. The day of awakening and transformation. A revelation and an enormous energy can pour down on someone. A beneficial day for subduing one's physical nature, sexual energy, for conceiving and healing. One should strengthen their health and elevate their spiritual level.

JULY 12
The Sun’s square to Chiron this morning can pull up insecurities and areas of vulnerability, possibly disruptively. We could too easily follow others’ leads because of self-doubt, to please them, or out of fear of asserting our desires. Alternatively, we might go to great lengths to prove ourselves or assert our individuality when a better approach would be recognizing our feelings of vulnerability that people or circumstances are stirring. Today’s Moon in Taurus is harmony-oriented, comfortable, and stubborn.
JULY 13
The Moon is void from 2:10 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Pluto), until the Moon enters Gemini at 3:26 AM EDT.
This week: The Sun is in Cancer; Mercury is in Cancer until the 11th, when it moves into Leo; Venus is in Leo; Mars is in Leo until the 10th, when Mars moves into Virgo.
The Sun is in Cancer from June 21-July 22. We are self-protective and insular under this influence. Our attention turns to our nest–our families, homes, and anything that makes us feel “at home,” safe, and secure.
Nurturing and caring for our loved ones and pet projects come into focus. Emotions run deep, and we easily tune in to the world of feelings. Note that we are more in tune with the Moon while the Sun is in Cancer.
We may not want to grow up and face responsibilities or the outside world during the Sun-in-Cancer cycle. We should watch for dependence when we’d do better for ourselves otherwise. However, it’s a robust transit for recognizing our needs for comfort, safety, and familiarity. We’re inclined to form strong bonds and protect our loved ones.
Mercury is in Cancer from June 26-July 11. When Mercury is in Cancer, we move from the desire for quantity with information to the need for quality. We think, speak, and take in information on a deeper, more instinctive level. We have less interest in what is universal and more interest in what affects us personally and the people close to us. Our thoughts are colored by our emotions, making it more challenging to be objective.
We have outstanding and detailed memories during this cycle. We’re more likely to absorb information about the emotional background or atmosphere/setting around us, picking up on moods and tones in addition to facts.
While we may not have great confidence in our ability to generate new or original ideas, we have a well-developed sense of humor and radiate warmth in our communications. We take great interest in (and notice of) personal issues and interactions during this period. We don’t care much for intellectual stands if they’re devoid of a personal or heartful element, and we need intimate settings to express ourselves fully.
Mercury is in Leo from July 11-28. When Mercury is in Leo, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus is now on the goal–and the grander a goal the better! The details may not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence.
We are also more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or write. With this transit, we may not listen as well as we normally do since we’re very focused on our own ideas.
We’re also strong about making decisions ourselves and letting our voices and input be heard. This is not a time when we’re content with letting others make all the moves or decisions–we need to be involved. We take the lead, manage, direct, and create while Mercury is in Leo. We need to relate to information or create stories about it to absorb it well. During this cycle, we should watch for being too inflexible, proud, or haughty to change course.
Venus is in Leo from June 5-October 8. [This transit is longer than usual due to the retrograde of Venus in Leo from July 22nd to September 3rd.] Love is magnificent and grand while Venus is in Leo. We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a strong or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a compelling desire to stand out, be remarkable, and feel special during this period.
Mars is in Leo from May 20-July 10. In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have grand goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and take the least complicated route to our goals. The sex drive is strong, and passion for life is high.
Mars in Leo can awaken a competitive spirit or drive. We’re more willing to take risks to get what we want. We also tend to make a splash, and we want to be in the driver’s seat. This transit is passionate, ardent, and dramatic. We seek to appear strong and prefer to be in the lead or the center of attention. We can be particularly angry if we feel disrespected or in an undignified position.
Mars is in Virgo from July 10-August 27. In Virgo, Mars is somewhat of a workhorse. We have a passion for details, as well as a need to do the right thing at just the right time under this influence. The satisfaction of a job well done is one of your greatest incentives now. We are more precise and concerned about performance.
We’re more exacting and concerned with correctness and details in our work, output, or efforts. It’s a time of greater caution, skepticism, and discipline. We tend to focus on details and plans, sometimes losing sight of the bigger picture.
There can be a perfectionistic or workaholic streak. We have a greater interest in excelling or mastering a particular skill. Science and health are most appealing. This transit highlights work with details or requiring precision, such as surgery, bookkeeping, crafts, musical instruments, etc. It also spotlights attention to health and nutrition, the healing arts, and a great interest in how things work, techniques, mechanics, and systems.
It can be a time of irritability, tension, or nervousness. Attention to detail and technique is tremendous, although our vision or confidence may suffer if we limit ourselves. There can be competitive or inflamed situations with co-workers, work, routines, or healthcare.
Our standards for ourselves are high during this cycle, and we work hard to be accurate, precise, and efficient.
Jupiter is in Taurus.
Jupiter begins its transit of Taurus on May 16th, 2023, and it will continue its transit of the sign until May 25th, 2024. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Taurus.
Saturn transits Pisces from March 7th, 2023 until May 24th, 2025, and Sep 1st, 2025, to Feb 13th, 2026. Read about Saturn’s transit of Pisces.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.

Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Leo from June 5-October 8. Love is magnificent and grand! We take pride in love, and we are generous with our money as well. This is a warmhearted, teasing, expressive, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. Love is a bit of a game–a game that is perpetual, as Venus in Leo is forever stuck in the romance stage of a relationship. We feed on attention, acknowledgement, validation, and adoration.
Venus in Leo loves to be adored, pampered, and admired. Pride and passion are hallmarks of this cycle. We have a strong ego investment in our love lives during this period. The negative expression of this placement is overstating our feelings simply for the effect, as well as extravagance.
This week: Sunday, the 15th, brings awkwardness as we can feel vaguely unsatisfied, especially on romantic, spiritual, and emotional levels. It’s best to treat it as a shift day rather than one to make big decisions. We’re likely to doubt someone in our lives, or happiness, in general!
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Leo Romance becomes an end in itself as a new cycle begins for you. It marks a time when love, creativity, and self-expression satisfy a deep yearning to be appreciated and admired – needed, even. A flashy, flirty, stylish splash of color and warmth.
Venus parallel Mars July 4. Favors romantic and sexual relationships. Intense passions.
Venus parallel Jupiter July 4. We are charitable with others and have a stronger desire than usual to find meaning in our relationships. There may be some overstating or overindulgence now, however.
Venus quincunx Neptune July 15. Idealism and disappointments in love. Avoid becoming blinded by what you want to see, rather than what really is. Doubts about love.
Venus parallel Chiron July 19-20. Healing energy is brought to love relationships, and a new cycle begins. A commitment-friendly transit. Love can heal old wounds. We are open to romantic feelings, and more willing to act upon them. This is a good time to make a resolution to repair, heal, and improve relationships.
Venus semi-sextile the Sun July 21. We may feel that our quest for pleasure, affection, love, or comfort is at odds with what we think we should be doing, which can lead to mild tension or feelings of guilt, and perhaps some indecision. Seeking to fulfill both of these needs without doing so at the expense of the other makes sense, but isn’t straightforward at this time.
Mars quincunx Pluto. A strong desire to prove ourselves may be at the root of confrontations and bull-headedness at this time. Avoid forcing issues.
Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We may easily sense the thoughts and feelings of others. We express ourselves with subtle flair. Favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.
Mercury opposition Pluto. This energy produces either a compulsive need to talk or a desire to withhold information. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade others to think like we do, insisting on knowing the “truth” or on exposing falsehoods, making mountains out of molehills–these are all possibilities now. This aspect can also represent mental anxiety or concern. On the other hand, it can suggest the ability to engage in deep, penetrating communication.
Sun square Chiron. The desire to learn and grow through experiences and through others is strong, but may be hampered by a lack of confidence or a fear of being different. We might experience a lack of faith in our own decisions. We could too easily follow others’ leads due to self-doubt, or simply to please them and out of fear of asserting our own desires.
Sun sesquiquadrate Saturn. It’s hard to satisfy the ego today. We feel blocked by circumstances or others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster. Gratitude isn’t forthcoming right now, so it’s best to wait it out rather than waste energy letting it get to you.
Mercury quincunx Saturn. Communication challenges today make it hard to get a point across. Delays, “red tape”, and vague feelings of forgetting important details.
Sun sextile Uranus. We are willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events, as these can be enlightening. We can find creative solutions to problems now and effect positive changes. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence.
Venus quincunx Neptune. Under this influence, we are apt to see what we want to see, rather than what actually is, when it comes to both financial affairs and affairs of the heart. Still, we tend to doubt our perceptions of perfection. The end result is a feeling of insecurity on romantic and social levels. Avoid making large purchases and commitments at this time.
Last Quarter Moon
The LAST QUARTER MOON occurs on Sunday, July 9th 2023, at 9:48 PM EDT.
On Sunday, the Last Quarter Moon occurs when the Sun in Cancer forms a square with the Moon in Aries.
The Last Quarter Moon phase points to a crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the whole light of the Moon at the time of last week’s Full Moon, we disperse our knowledge and come to a point when we need to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon, when something new is born once again.
This is not the best time to start a significant project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes descent into unconsciousness. It’s time to begin finishing up the details of what was conceived at the last New Moon. What revelations did you have last week? What did they mean for you? What can be done now?
The following is a chart of this Last Quarter Moon in a 0-Aries (“locationless”) wheel:

Calendrier Lunaire juillet 2023
- En période sèche, pour éviter un enracinement superficiel des plantes, arrosez davantage et moins souvent, de préférence le soir. Il est bon de sarcler quelques heures après l’arrosage pour éviter l’évaporation. Pensez également au paillage, qui est la solution idéale pour conserver au maximum l’humidité du sol.
- Un jardin en phase avec la Lune : semez un engrais vert le 8 ou le 9 pour protéger le sol et obtenir une masse végétale importante.
- Composter avec la Lune : pour réaliser un compost ayant un faible échauffement, procédez entre le 2 et le 4 ou entre le 9 et le 11.
- Pour les fongicides naturels : certains aspects planétaires vont renforcer l’action des produits, et donc permettre d’en diminuer les doses. Par exemple, appliquez les produits entre le 11 et le 15.
- Se chauffer avec la Lune : pour qu’il sèche mieux, empilez le bois de chauffage de préférence entre le 16 et le 29.
- Épilation avec la Lune : pour une épilation qui retardera davantage la repousse des poils, préférez la période du 16 au 29, et de préférence entre le 17 et le 20 qui est la meilleure période du mois.
- Le miel et la Lune : pour extraire le miel avec la Lune, préférez les 3, 7, 12, 20, 21, 22, 27 ou 30.
Jardiner avec la Lune
LES INFLUENCES LUNAIRES
Bien que nous ne réalisions pas toujours son ampleur, la Lune exerce une puissante influence sur la Terre. L’exemple le plus spectaculaire reste le phénomène des marées. Ce sont en effet des milliards de mètres cubes d’eau qui se déplacent quotidiennement sous la seule influence de la Lune. Les scientifiques ont d’ailleurs constaté que le phénomène des marées ne se limitait pas seulement aux masses océaniques mais agissait également sur la croûte terrestre. Celle-ci pouvant s’élever de plusieurs dizaines de centimètres lors de l’effet de marée montant.
Si l’effet semble moins visible, la Lune exerce toutefois une influence sur les êtres vivants également. Les végétaux, les animaux ainsi que les êtres humains sont eux aussi sujets aux rythmes lunaires. Les plantes et les animaux sont les plus sensibles et les plus réceptifs à l’influence des différents cycles lunaires, il est d’ailleurs possible de le vérifier en réalisant des essais comparatifs. L’être humain quant à lui ne se rend pas toujours compte des effets de la Lune sur son quotidien. Notre vie moderne a en effet peu à peu atténué notre sensibilité aux cycles naturels. Mais si nous semblons moins réceptifs aux mouvements lunaires, leur influence reste active et agit également sur de nombreux domaines nous concernant.
LA LUNE AU JARDIN
Tout au long de leur développement, les plantes sont naturellement sujettes aux cycles lunaires et planétaires. Dans le milieu naturel, elles s’accordent spontanément à ces différents cycles qui participent à leur environnement et viennent s’ajouter aux autres éléments essentiels à leur développement.
Dans les milieux recréés que sont nos jardins, le fait que nous décidions où et quand semer une plante fait que nous intervenons dans son processus naturel de développement. Bien que nous ne dénaturions pas réellement ce processus, nous interférons cependant sur le rythme de croissance de la plante. Ce dernier sera naturellement différent du rythme de croissance d’une plante se développant de manière spontanée.
Il est possible de stimuler la croissance d’une plante en prenant en compte les influences lunaires et planétaires lors des principales étapes de son développement (semis, repiquage, entretien). Une graine se développera différemment suivant le type de constellation (Fruits, Racines, Fleurs, Feuilles) lors de laquelle elle est semée. Lors de sa croissance, la plante se polarisera davantage sur la partie en relation avec la constellation. Une salade développera ainsi davantage sa partie foliaire si elle est semée en constellation Feuilles. En revanche, semée en constellation fleur, une salade se focalisera sur la production de semences et montera donc plus rapidement en graines. De même, pour une meilleure production, il préférable de semer les carottes lors d’une constellation Racines, de manière à ce que la plante privilégie cette partie lors de son développement. Dans cette optique, il devient donc intéressant de semer une plante en accord avec le type de constellation devant laquelle passera la Lune au moment du semis.
Mais les types de constellations ne sont pas les seuls facteurs déterminants et d’autres paramètres comme par exemple le cycle de la lune croissante/décroissante, montante/descendante, les nœuds lunaires, le périgée, les aspects planétaires, exercent également une tendance positive ou négative suivant les cas. Il est donc primordial de considérer l’ensemble de tous ces différents éléments et d’en faire la synthèse pour savoir si un moment donné est plus ou moins favorable voire défavorable pour semer une plante.

Mercury will brighten rapidly at the start of its morning apparition as it emerges from inferior conjunction. Prior to its apparition, it passed between the Earth and Sun, at which time it had its unilluminated side turned towards the Earth and so appeared as a thin, barely illuminated crescent. As the apparition proceeds, this crescent waxes and becomes gibbous.
Since Mercury can only ever be observed in twilight, it is particularly difficult to find when it is in a thin crescent phase. Thus, it will be significantly easier to see in the days after it reaches its highest point in the sky – when it will show a gibbous phase – than in the days beforehand.
OBSERVING MERCURY
Mercury's orbit lies closer to the Sun than the Earth's, meaning that it always appears close to the Sun and is lost in the Sun's glare much of the time.
It is observable for only a few weeks each time it reaches greatest separation from the Sun – moments referred to as greatest elongation. These apparitions repeat roughly once every 3–4 months.
MERCURY'S PHASE
Mercury's phase varies depending on its position relative to the Earth. When it passes between the Earth and Sun, for example, the side that is turned towards the Earth is entirely unilluminated, like a new moon.
Conversely, when it lies opposite to the Earth in its orbit, passing almost behind the Sun, it appears fully illuminated, like a full moon. However, at this time it is also at its most distant from the Earth, so it is actually fainter than at other times.
Mercury shows an intermediate half phase – called dichotomy – at roughly the same moment that it appears furthest from the Sun, at greatest elongation. The exact times of the two events may differ by a few days, only because Mercury's orbit is not quite perfectly aligned with the ecliptic.
MERCURY'S POSITION
The coordinates of Mercury when it reaches dichotomy will be:
| Object | Right Ascension | Declination | Constellation | Angular Size |
| Mercury | 03h11m00s | 14°34'N | Aries | 7.3" |
| Sun | 04h46m | +22°21' | Taurus | 31'32" |

NASA celebrates Webb telescope anniversary with close-up of stellar birth
Jul 12 2023
This NASA handout image captured by the James Webb telescope and obtained on July 12, 2023, shows a small star-forming region in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth
Washington (AFP) - Jets of red gas bursting into the cosmos, and a glowing cave of dust: NASA marked a year of discovery by the James Webb Space Telescope Wednesday with a spectacular new image of Sun-like stars being born.
L'image est celle du complexe nuageux Rho Ophiuchi, la pépinière stellaire la plus proche de la Terre, dont la proximité à 390 années-lumière permet un gros plan net par l'observatoire orbital le plus puissant jamais construit.
"En un an seulement, le télescope spatial James Webb a transformé la vision de l'humanité sur le cosmos, scrutant les nuages de poussière et voyant la lumière des coins lointains de l'univers pour la toute première fois", a déclaré l'administrateur de la NASA, Bill Nelson.
"Chaque nouvelle image est une nouvelle découverte, permettant aux scientifiques du monde entier de poser et de répondre à des questions dont ils n'auraient jamais pu rêver."
L'image de Webb montre environ 50 jeunes étoiles, de masse similaire à notre Soleil ou plus petite.
Certains ont les ombres caractéristiques des disques circumstellaires - un signe que des planètes pourraient éventuellement se former autour d'eux.
D'énormes jets d'hydrogène apparaissent horizontalement dans le tiers supérieur de l'image, et verticalement à droite.
"Ceux-ci se produisent lorsqu'une étoile éclate pour la première fois à travers son enveloppe natale de poussière cosmique, projetant une paire de jets opposés dans l'espace comme un nouveau-né tendant d'abord ses bras vers le monde", a déclaré l'agence spatiale américaine dans un communiqué.
"Au bas de l'image, vous pouvez voir une jeune étoile suffisamment énergique pour souffler une bulle dans le nuage de poussière et de gaz dont elle est née", a déclaré Christine Chen, astronome au Space Telescope Science Institute, qui opère Webb, a déclaré à l'AFP.
Il le fait grâce à une combinaison de sa lumière et d'un vent stellaire qui lui est lié, a-t-elle ajouté.
L'espace interstellaire est rempli de gaz et de poussière, qui à leur tour servent de matière première pour de nouvelles étoiles et planètes.
"L'image de Rho Ophiuchi de Webb nous permet d'assister à une très brève période du cycle de vie stellaire avec une nouvelle clarté. Notre propre Soleil a connu une phase comme celle-ci il y a longtemps, et maintenant nous avons la technologie pour voir le début de l'histoire d'une autre étoile », a déclaré Klaus Pontoppidan, scientifique du projet Webb.
- Nouvelle ère de l'astronomie -
Webb a été lancé en décembre 2021 depuis la Guyane française, pour un voyage de 1,5 million de kilomètres (près d'un million de milles) vers une région appelée le deuxième point de Lagrange.
Sa première image en couleur a été révélée par le président Joe Biden le 11 juillet 2022 : la vue la plus claire à ce jour de l'univers primitif, remontant à 13 milliards d'années.
La vague suivante comprenait des « montagnes » et des « vallées » d'une région de formation d'étoiles, surnommée les falaises cosmiques, dans la nébuleuse de la Carène ; et un groupement de cinq galaxies liées dans une danse céleste, appelée Quintette de Stephan.
Webb dispose d'un miroir primaire mesurant plus de 21 pieds (6,5 mètres) composé de 18 segments hexagonaux recouverts d'or, ainsi que d'un pare-soleil à cinq couches de la taille d'un court de tennis.

Contrairement à son prédécesseur Hubble, il opère principalement dans le spectre infrarouge, ce qui lui permet de regarder de plus près vers le début des temps et de mieux pénétrer les nuages de poussière où les étoiles et les systèmes planétaires se forment aujourd'hui.
Les découvertes clés incluent certaines des premières galaxies formées quelques centaines de millions d'années après le Big Bang, identifiant à une résolution sans précédent les compositions atmosphériques des planètes en dehors de notre système solaire et, dans notre propre coin de pays, de nouvelles vues époustouflantes de la planète Jupiter .
Webb a suffisamment de carburant pour une mission de 20 ans, promettant une nouvelle ère de l'astronomie.
Il sera bientôt rejoint en orbite par le télescope spatial européen Euclid, qui a lancé le 1er juillet une mission visant à faire la lumière sur deux des plus grands mystères de l'univers : l'énergie noire et la matière noire.
