Subconscious awareness allows for an objective and balanced look at your personal relationships. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

The July 9 full moon at 17°09′ Capricorn is only one degree 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, all-consuming.

Moon conjunct Pluto brings such deep and intense feelings to the surface that it 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 to 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 technique to understand your feelings.

Full Moon July 2017 Astrology

Sun opposite Moon makes the Moon-Pluto alignment more challenging because of the relationship tension it creates. Battles you have with other people can mirror your own inner conflict as you try to reconcile differences between what you want versus what you need.

Sun opposite Pluto often brings a crisis involving self-esteem, a relationship or an event. This may be due to a self-destructive character trait such as addiction, spying or stubbornness. In relationships you may be the victim of, or perpetrator of manipulation, jealousy, domination or spying. Events may include the breakdown of an appliance or car, theft, violence, or the destruction of possessions by people or natural disaster.

If a crisis does happen at this time, it is important not to be overly assertive, egotistic, or resistant to change. Change may be forced upon you or you may instigate it. The aim is to transform for the better, to evolve your soul so that you may live a better life and experience more satisfaction. It will probably occur through a close relationship, such as a family member, close friend or partner.

The full moon July 2017 astrology chart above shows Mars about five degrees from the Sun. There are tighter aspects to the full moon including Moon square Jupiter but the Sun-Mars alignment is far more powerful. It increases the potential for destructive emotions and reactions. Anger is added to your extremely powerful emotion and your patience is severely tested.

Mars opposite Pluto gives an intense passion to achieve your strongest desires. In this competitive spirit you may go to great lengths to achieve victory. If you can channel such aggressive and dominating urges, the transforming nature of Pluto will bring marked achievements. Physical and creative pursuits are favored, but the competitive arena may also include business or other professional areas where courage and strength are required.

You may have to contend with powerful forces acting against you, searching for weak spots in your plans and defenses. Powerful and primal energies may activate the fight or flight response. Sexual conquest at this time also comes with dangers. Your will-power and sex drive may become overbearing. If dating, you should beware of predators and the potential for male violence or rape.

Sun conjunct Mars brings abundant energy and initiative which must be used in a constructive to avoid damaging consequences. If this hot energy were to build up in your body it would escape spontaneously and uncontrollably. It would would be very quick and destructive, potentially hurting yourself or others. This negative manifestation of Mars is the most likely outcome given the opposition to Moon and Pluto.

Remaining unaware of the buildup of energy can lead to accidents, aggression, temper tantrums, even violence or rape. You will initially notice the buildup of energy as irritation, annoyance or impatience. The best option is to consciously apply yourself to a positive form of activity. Physical activity is preferred but mental work also burns up a lot of energy. Your sex drive may go through the roof and baby making fits the role as both creative and productive.

Moon opposite Mars makes you moody and short-tempered. Little things will annoy you that you would normally ignore. Anger and a tendency to act without thinking increase the risk of minor irritations turning into arguments or fights. Being alone will stop conflict but you still need to let off steam safely.

Relationships with your partner, family and close friends are most likely to suffer from your impulsive actions and aggressive instincts. To avoid hostilities you can channel your energy toward hard work and competition. Trying to better your record in an individual sport or exercise will reduce anger levels.

You could potentially be subject to aggression from others. Abuse such as domestic violence could be a sign of not expressing your emotional desires strongly enough. If you are the submissive or shy type then full moon July 2017 may trigger a fight or flight response and an opportunity to leave a dangerous home environment.

Mercury sextile Venus offers a release valve and a way to talk yourself out of potential conflict. It has a friendly influence, reducing stress levels and adding some harmony to your relationships. You will have greater ability to express your love and affection. Extra charm and social skills will help you find a compromise and find a peaceful resolution.
