Earth's New Moon lunar aspect at 7:49 PM on July 12th PST is a South Node, partial Solar eclipse in the southern hemisphere: on Friday the 13th in Universal time. A new moon is a seed pod of possibility that will harvest the "germ" of its inward intentions in an outward expression. Serving your best intentions with the practice of ritual libations will support your heart's desire. A South node eclipse is a diamond in the rough expressing unrefined challenges before the rewards are cut and polished from its core. A steady vision is key.
Enter the Void
Loki's Brood (1905) by Emil Doepler
It's a testy lunar phase with a crabby, Goat Moon in a standoff to a Mad Cow opposition and it won't end soon. It spurs a contentious battle in a parable of three lessons learned: July 13th Solar eclipse leads to lessons learned from the past. July 27th Full Moon, Lunar eclipse, brings lessons learned in the present. August 11th partial, Solar eclipse is a lesson learned for future reference. Tread the pathway without resistance and give gratitude. Lucky Stars are doubled for extra-bad, or extra-good, from July to mid August 2018.

The best salve is to bath in green nature and use the harmony plague in the west.
Planets and Aspects: Our Lady Venus sits in the nest until August when it changes station to the Dog just before the New Moon Solar eclipse on August 11th.
