3 July 8, 11:07 pm Full Moon The full moon July 2017 astrology is as intense as it gets. Moon and Pluto opposite Sun and Mars creates such intensely hot energy that it will be difficult to control. This dangerous full moon has the potential to cause serious relationships problems if you let things get out of control. The July 2017 full moon could cause threats, violence, displays of power, murder, invasions, overthrows and war. There is, however, a real chance of compromise and peace between lovers and between nations. The full moon in Capricorn is only one degree away from Pluto. This planet of power and intensity transforms through destruction and renewal. This is as powerful as a full moon can get. Emotions are already high at a full moon but now they become all-powerful and all-consuming. Moon conjunct Pluto brings such deep and intense feelings to the surface that they can overwhelm you. You may become obsessed about your feelings and have trouble focusing on anything else. Dreams, visions, psychic impressions or intuitive insights may have a profound influence on your mood. Interactions with women will be particularly intense and revealing. You can access your true feelings and discover someone else s true feelings about you. Take care not to react too strongly to overpowering feelings. Your intuition might be correct but could obscure your rational thought processes and conscious judgement skills. In relationships, you may encounter controlling and manipulative behaviors like jealousy, guilt tripping, threats, intimidation, violence or self-harm. Remove yourself from such negative and destructive people and environments. You can transcend your own challenging emotions and behaviors through meditation, self-analysis, or other techniques to understand your feelings. Conscious awareness of your intense emotions and short temper will help you avoid arguments. Responding to provocation with threats or ultimatums will only inflame the situation. There is a high chance of conflict in your personal relationships involving power and control issues. Join the Moon Water Challenge from your own sacred space this Full Moon.

4 July 23, 3:44 am New Moon The new moon on Sunday July 23, 2017 is at 0 Leo. This new moon astrology is primarily influenced by the planet Mars. So this is a new moon about energy, action, sex, sports, anger and war. A secondary influence comes from the planet Uranus. A tense aspect to this planet of change and excitement makes Mars more explosive, unpredictable, violent and dangerous. The July 2017 new moon will test your patience and your nerves. The annoying little things that people do will be more irritating than usual. You will have to take extra care not to upset already angry and mean people. There will be an increased danger of assassinations, revolutions, military assaults and war. Even with the most challenging of planetary aspects, there are ways to avoid trouble by putting in the effort and making the right choices. In the case of Mars square Uranus, this means burning up the hot, angry and erratic energy in a safe way before escapes your body in an uncontrolled and dangerous way. You must find an area of life in which you can tear up the rules and have some fun. You cannot restrain this erratic energy, so you must express your crazy, creative or sexy side in a safe environment. If you have a stifling and traditional work place, then you should find a creative outlet socially, sexually or through a hobby. Your goal is to get your kinky or dangerous desires out of your system in a safe way without upsetting 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.

Today, this stone is still revered as a premier talisman of protection, and as a psychic shield deflecting and dispelling negative energies, entities, or destructive forces. It guards against radiation and environmental pollutants and is highly useful in purifying and neutralizing one s own negative thoughts and internal conflicts, while turning them into positive, usable energy.

It promotes a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a clearer, more objective view of the world.

Its supportive energy aligns the energy centers of the body and channels healing light throughout the system. It promotes a sense of power and self-confidence, allowing for a clearer, more objective view of the world. It is empowering to those who must live or work in challenging environments or when facing difficult circumstances. Rune of the Month Thurisaz (TH: Thorn or a Giant.)

To learn more about this and other runes, get our Rune Dice Book at Tarot Card of the Month The Page of Wands - The Page of Wands is similar to the Fool in that he is a free spirit who represents change and new beginnings. He has a true passion for life, despite his understanding of this world is not yet fully developed. He has not yet been weighed down by the burdens of the material world, coming and going as he pleases, and usually encouraging change wherever he goes. He is like the catalyst that inspires changes that might be impossible in any other situation. The appearance of the Page of Wands indicates that you are experiencing a creative restlessness within you that is just waiting for some sort of expression, or, you may be on the verge of some sort of discovery or new phase of life. The Page of Wands represents the sudden creative spark that comes to you, suddenly and unexpectedly, and that starts you down the road of a new creative vision. Thus, he encourages you to express yourself and your individuality with light-hearted abandon. Listen to your unconscious mind and follow your creative urges, even if you are worried about being the lonely voice crying out in the wilderness. With persistence and a balanced

9 perspective even the immature desires of the Page of Wands can be transformed into a beautiful creative vision that can change the world. Similarly, the Page of Wands indicates that you need to be positive and spontaneous but not overly impulsive. Your enthusiasm impresses others but if you become impatient or quick to anger or lose interest, you will put others off and you will waste time in your creative projects. With the Page of Wands, you are inclined to give anything and everything a go. If you are enthusiastic or passionate enough, you embrace the opportunity to start out on a new journey or project and see where it takes you. You do not necessarily have a solid plan in place, nor do you really know where you are headed but you do know that you are excited about the possibilities.

It not only protects you, but it will deflect the harm towards you back to the originator. Get a glass jar such as a Mason jar, or even a baby food jar, anything that has a lid to it. Fill the jar halfway with small sharp objects such as pins, metal scrapings, broken glass, razor blades, etc. Be careful when you are filling the jar! Once the jar is half full with these objects, fill the jar up with a holy water mixture of salt and water. Put the top on the jar and be sure it's secured. This jar should be buried in the ground at least twelve inches deep. As long as the bottle remains in the ground, you will be protected from harm that is sent your way. If you bury the jar somewhere away from home, and you won t know if it will still be there in a year (City Witches don't always have backyards!), then be sure to repeat this process each year.
