Full Moon – Capricorn
1:36pm PDT
18 Cap 50
Full moons tend to be emotionally loaded, and the Capricorn full moon only exists because the Sun is in Cancer, which as I discussed on the new moon is all about feelings, emotions and moods. So, we feel juiced up on Capricorn full moon but and this is a big but, Capricorn is not cool with just letting our feelings, moods and emotions spill all over the place. Nope. Capricorn leans into pragmaticism, maturity and responsibility. Capricorn is all about success and reaching goals. The Capricorn full moon is a once-a-year, three-day phase where we find our inner dad, inner CEO, inner bureaucrat and we do what it takes to address any issue. What is the issue? Whatever needs fixing under our emotions, feelings and mood.
Saturn (and its connection to Capricorn) is highlighted this full moon and is luckily in a harmonious aspect with Neptune our inner mystic. Typically, a Cap full moon would be like a stark black and white photograph where we know the exact details in the shot. But this full moon is colored by fuzzy Neptune which means we might not see everything in a sharpness and instead it is more like a watercolor painting. Soft and muted but still we see the landscape. Saturn in Aries colors this full moon on the importance of practical independence. How can we have more freedom? How can we carve a new way? How are we being influenced by our intuition? What does a breakout and self-agency have to do with our feelings, emotions and moods?
Uranus having just arrived in Gemini is also in harmony with Saturn urging us to mix it up. We may feel encouraged that now is the time to try something different. Saturn is the planet of timing and Uranus is the planet of change and revolution. What changes are calling you on this full moon that feel revolutionary? Where do you need your breakout? Additionally, Uranus and Venus continue to be in sync adding a layer of creativity and support of values. Nice.
And of course, Saturn and Pluto are in sextile. This full moon encourages us to ditch what is not working. It can be liberating more than scary. We seek the fresh that comes with new.
While the moon is still full, Saturn stations retrograde on July 12. The whole three-day phase of the full moon will probably be a study on timing. What do we look like when we pull back for a second and not rush? What do we glean when we look at the whole scene? How does our inner boss benefit when we take out the emotions and get pragmatic about the different parts of our life? We wake up, we do our day and then we go to bed. Is there anything in there that is broken? Tap your inner CEO for insights.
One other note, while Saturn is THE player in this full moon and it is the planet that likes to take care of business, it can also be pessimistic. If you find yourself going into thoughts of “Why bother?” “It is all effed up” “What’s the point?” --that is a signal you gotta take care of self. So, go into the Cancer sun and find your cozy. Eat a meal. Watch an old favorite movie. Find an old memory that brings out joy. Get through the negative and then find your practical side again. Here's a little judgy insight; no matter how much you may tell yourself that being cynical is practical, it is not. Cynical is a protective device and a sign that you need to nourish self. It’s easy to be cynical and easy to be Pollyanna. Neither get anything done which is not practical and therefore not Capricorn’s jam.
In short, this can be a very productive full moon. Find the joy in thinking about areas of new independence and consider new ways to get freedom and new journeys. Capricorn and Saturn want to help.
The last time we had a Capricorn full moon at 18 degrees was July 11, 2006. Anything come up now that reminds you of then? Here's the timeline for the world back then. Kind of interesting.
