Full Moon in Capricorn
July 3rd welcomes a strong, grounded and abundant Full Moon
in Capricorn. Why abundant? Isn’t Capricorn known for being a cautious and
realistic sign, not exactly prone to bursts of expansion? Well, the reason of
this is because Jupiter, Archetype of growth and generosity, is angled to this
Full Moon via a flowing, easy trine aspect.
This soften and ripens the stern energy of Capricorn, inviting material
opportunities and fruitful culminations.
Look back to December 2022. What began around that time? What intentions
were planted then? How are those intentions paying off right now? Jupiter tends
to bring copious rewards – he is the Giver of Gifts, after all. In Taurus,
Jupiter is all about physical gains – money, security, property, work stability
and so on. This energy is also about enjoying the pleasure of having done a
good job – which is what Capricorn symbolizes.
Granted, it is said that gentle La Luna isn’t at her best in reserved Capricorn.
And, usually, she’s not. Expressing feelings isn’t easy here. Yet, it’s an excellent
placement for getting the job done and cultivating a no-nonsense attitude. Here,
the Moon is doing the ‘adulting’ thing. The thing we all need to do. The thing
that can be oh-so-satisfying.
The Sun, placed in childlike, home-loving Cancer, gifts us with the
chance to balance external success and achievement with a stable inner foundation.
This is so that we’re able to pursue the goals closest to our hearts. And so,
our Inner Child and our Inner Adult are getting the rare opportunity to
work together in harmony to serve our need for both internal and external
safety. It’s a good feeling.
The ruler of Capricorn, Saturn, is also well-placed at this Full Moon in
the sign of Pisces – but more than that, he’s also in a supportive trine to the
Sun. So, both La Luna and Sol are both being held up by powerful planets, both with
flowing aspects. This is no coincidence. We’ve needed this break. Saturn
balances Jupiter’s need for growth with conscientious constraint, a quality
absolutely necessary if we want our success to last. Saturn is the one that brings
the energy of endurance. That energy that says, yes, that urges us to go ahead
and grow. But, that we also stay aware and know when to pull back and contain
that growth, to integrate it.
So, take a good look at what’s culminating in your world right now. Is
it a career path – which very likely, under the auspices of professional Capricorn
– or is it financially-orientated? Or is it a more of a personal goal that
you’re seeing is being completed at long last? Remember, Capricorn is the
Dancer between worlds. The Magician. The one that takes the creativity and
mysticism of the Fish - symbolized by the one half this sign – and alchemizes
this energy into physical, 3D reality. There’s so much more to Capricorn than what
meets the eye. So, where’s the magic unfolding for you, and how can you make
sure that it lasts? What structures can you put in place, right now? Where can
you meet the needs of your Inner Child for safety and security whilst honoring
your Inner Adult’s desire for purpose and fulfillment? This Full Moon isn’t one
in which these questions are hard to answer. In fact, the less effort we try to
make, the more we allow the Universe to show us to a greater extent what we
need, want and are deserving of, in the very best sense.
