Full Moon in Capricorn - July 21, 2024, 6:18 AM, EDT

This Cancer season is unique with two Capricorn Full Moons: the first on the Solstice at 01 degree, strong with initiative for assessment and adjustment.  Now, on the last day of the season, sensitivities are heightened with the Sun in the final degree of Cancer.

Increasing this energy is the second Full Moon in Capricorn, also in the final 29th degree, called the anaretic degree, signifying an intense culmination and karmic reckoning during this lunar event. With a potent opportunity for deep reflection and transformation, this Capricorn Full Moon compels us to release what is no longer sustainable and to nurture the seeds of what truly matters.

Capricorn, ruled by Saturn is retrograde in Pisces. The planet of mastery and self-discipline, instructs us to review and strengthen our spiritual commitment and practice; where intuition, compassion, creativity and inspiration guides us in managing the reality of our daily lives. Capricorn’s pragmatic nature is one of accomplishment and inner authority. With a drive to achieve “great work”, the sign of the Sea Goat defeating all obstacles, requires a level of solitude that helps realize goals but can lead to excessive work and emotional loneliness. 

Opposite the Moon, the Sun in Cancer, deeply sensitive, sentimental and protective calls us to delve into our past, home and family, becoming acutely aware of our primal need for security and a sense of belonging. This opposition creates a dynamic tension between our outer life and our inner realms that finds balance and stability with conscious integration.

Increasing the magnitude of this lunar phase, Pluto in Aquarius, fuses with the Moon taking us into the depths of our subconscious. This forward thinking humanitarian energy stirs up a revolutionary impulse that challenges us to break free from old paradigms and embrace innovation and progress. Pluto requires radical honesty to confront our shadows and the unvarnished truth of our lives. This cathartic energy encourages a heartfelt rebirth, a shedding of an old version of ourselves to reveal a more authentic, empowered self.

Additionally, Mars in Gemini and Uranus in Taurus emphasize embracing change. Curiosity and courage to communicate, increases the potential for sudden shifts in ideas and emotional sharing, supporting us to break free from feeling stagnate, stuck and tired. Keep an open mind and look for opportunities that feed your spirit.

This Moon in Capricorn at 29 degrees brings us to a dramatic turning point where we need to examine the foundations we’ve built and the ambitions we’ve followed. Are they serving our highest good or have they become fragile over time? Decision will be made of what needs release and what continues to support our personal evolution.

This Moon is a powerful message that a successful life, is one that values both worldly ambitions and fulfillment with the strength and stability of our private life, personal well-being and happiness. Let us work with this Capricorn Full Moon to integrate these essential values, to forge a life rich with authenticity and purpose, that honors all aspects of our being.
