On delay……
There was a Full Moon in Capricorn at 11 degrees. It occurred on July 3rd, 2023 at 7:38 AM EDT.
Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign which during the time of the Full Moon has the capacity to illuminate who we are. Capricorn as a “Father” archetype influences who we are in relationship to our family, our community and the greater public.
Capricorn with Saturn as its ruler requires integrity, healthy clear boundaries, along with the need for discipline. Discipline as in the concept of the disciple who is a student of life and being in the world.
There are always lessons, learning and upgrading one’s standing in the world when dealing with the challenges we encounter. The term, “being bone chilling honest” comes to mind to give us the clarity needed. When we are present centered with our full capacities aware of all the nooks, crannies and pitfalls we must avoid in order to make it through each challenge, do we find success.
Success is a favorite word of Capricorn. So it is the flavor of this moment as we continue on.
The energy of this passing Full Moon in Capricorn brings attention to where our strengths and weaknesses are.
It begins with the Moon in Capricorn forming a trine to Jupiter. The Planet of faith, justice and expansive enthusiasm. This gives us the energy, encouragement and spirit to keep going forward.
The Sun/Mercury conjunction in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces which forms a sextile to Jupiter in Taurus. This is further activated as Jupiter in Taurus forms a sextile to the Sun/Mercury conjunction. As we feel into what our hearts desires are, we are then able to input our mind with that info using Mercury in Cancer as a navigator.
These planetary influences work so well at this time which suggests that this is an auspicious time to be moving forward with any project or situation that might have felt insurmountable. The door is opening to allow for completion that leads to a new beginning. All this as so many shifts are in the process of occurring.
Through all of this we are reminded to carry on with humility as Neptune in Pisces sextile to Pluto in Capricorn forms a trine relationship to Uranus in Taurus. So familiar long standing structures along with our value systems and all that we have known is in a process of transformation. The planetary configurations mentioned above align quite well in order to make whatever the project is to become clear. That which the Capricorn Full Moon supports as it has passed through the opposition it forms to the Sun/Mercury conjunction in Cancer.
All the powerful planets of change, transformation and higher consciousness are interacting to work cooperatively. This serves to color this as a revisionist moment which we have been living thru. There is now a reassuring sense that positive change is within our reach. Common knowledge of this is permeating our communities as evolved folks become aware that we are all in this together.
Never you mind that Uranus in Taurus forms a challenging square to Mars conjunct Venus in Leo. It is fascinating that this challenging energy brings into view how at odds we are with love, with money, with assertion and the use of our free will. Could it be that the experience of our relationship to everything is opening to a new perspective? Could it be that the mentioned planetary influences are serving to unwittingly establish a new set of value systems that brings with it a new found consciousness that values, respects and honors all of life.
I believe this concept promises to become front and center a little later this month as Venus goes Rx in Leo from July 22 – September 3rd. That is after the Nodal axis shifts to Aries/ Libra on July 17th 2023 and will transit thru those two signs until January 11, 2026.
More about that in the New Moon post on the 17th of July.
Capricorn’s dynamic is of somber tones. Seriously devoted to the integrity of its own being. This must also factor in the necessary dedication to truth. This includes an understood and embodied integrity. In its most positive expression Capricorn seeks a world that is held together by a sustainable thread of well run honorable and ethical systems of checks and balances.
Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn and this passing Full Moon is transiting through the sign of Pisces. This highlights a conscious dedication to commitment and what the meaning of responsibilities towards service actually means. It also brings the sentiments of mercy, forgiveness and compassion.
This just passing Capricorn Full Moon has formed a harmonious sextile to Jupiter in Taurus. Making this moment profoundly positive in its connection to what is real.
The power of this culminating moment has been to connect with your inner grace and strength as your experience of your own life unfolds. There is a leaning towards a knowingness that the ultimate message for all is to have faith in your own process. No matter how dark or lonely. This connection reassures us that it’s gonna be okay.
There is a healthy kind of humility that can be found via Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces that is a necessary part of integrating oneself into level headed wisdom. This feeds thoughts and actions required in order to support a practical realization towards achievement.
Yes, it can also be experienced as heavy and dark as we are filled with doubts about our own destiny. However, that is where surrendering to the flow of the mysterious Saturn in Pisces energy can be helpful. Saturn in Pisces serves to anchor our experience and deliver us back to reality with compassion. This is so we do not drown in the sorrow and pity that this placement might evoke.
Capricorn Full Moon has served to motivate the nurturing capacity of this Full Moon with its fine principles of yearning for ambitious achievements. Capricorn ruled by Saturn pushes us towards our goals motivated by our needs. This is so that through perseverance, diligence and dedication we follow through and get to the light of whatever dark tunnel we are processing through. Capricorn Moon inspires commitment and consistency towards establishing itself as a beacon of light. There is a metaphysical phenomena that states how we cannot get to the light unless we are in the dark.
All this as the Sun in Cancer nourishes desires supportive of resting within the profound comfort of home. The value of nurture through the mothering principle of unconditional love. However, when the Moon, ruling planet of Cancer is contained within the goal oriented Sun things can get a bit judgmental, ornery and stressed out.
Then remember it is Summer and it is time to take a break. To take care, to comfort and enjoy the ease of warmer weather. That is why Summer is a time of rest, retreats, vacations and a bit of relaxation where one can find it.
Be reassured and take heart, because the harmonious configurations needed to move forward through this Full Moon are here. They are getting played out as we move through the pointed planetary and Nodal shifts on the horizon.
This moment has contained within it a sense of having faith in one’s journey as heaven symbolized by Jupiter and earth symbolized by Saturn are working together. This insures that as above, so below.
Whatever work we do, however clear our consciousness is, no matter what point in our lives we are moving through be reassured. It’s ok. As we are motivated by a connection to our integrity and a desire to live into a better day, this Full Moon in Capricorn answers the affirmation that resides in the deepest darkest recesses of our hearts, minds and bodies. So let us keep on.
Apologies for not including this Lunation cycle thru the signs. It will all be included in the New Moon in Cancer post I shall write and publish prior to that Lunation cycle on the 17th of July.
