Mastering The Moment

The Full Moon in Capricorn at 29 Degrees

On 7/21/2024

The Moon at 29 degrees Capricorn in opposition to the Sun at 29 degrees Cancer is a point of mastery. It’s an ending. It’s a beginning.

This Full Moon in Capricorn marks the completion of a process.

In it we have the opportunity to tie up loose ends concerning our connection to our roots, our family and the past.

This is an opportune time to clarify how we got to the point we are at now in order to understand what is needed to get to the next phase of our lives.

Capricorn ruled by Saturn requires structures and systems that support stability. This is made manifest thru steady perseverance and practice. Stability is what Cancer desires which by the virtue of Capricorn’s motivation is realized.

Capricorn is about the integrity of the systems and structures that hold our world together. It also includes who we are in the public domain so it is interconnected with the reality that we share with others.

Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen states that the facts are the bones of the story. While Dr. Carl Jung says, “ You can’t heal what you don’t feel.” This Full Moon in Capricorn opposing the Cancer Sun illuminates these ideas.

This Full Moon at 29 degrees Capricorn brings into focus an awareness of the deficit of integrity pervading our societies. By becoming aware of it we can reflect on how to restore the needed integrity that enables us to become humanized again.

There is a way to create security based on trust and respect that is earned. It is built on actions and behaviors that do no harm.

To keep the needed structures of Capricorn’s systems working effectively requires an adherence to a code of ethics. It must be a code of ethics based on a morality that clearly values the virtues of human decency as an absolute priority.

The energy of the Full Moon by its very nature contains moments of crisis and chaos. This Full Moon in Capricorn contains the archetype of the father which illuminates the experience of conditional love. This can get played out in the form of Karma. The law of cause and effect is ingrained within the Capricorn psyche.

The way forward is always to take responsibility for our actions and own up to the consequences they incur. When we do this we become the masters of our lives. Saturn which is the ruling planet of Capricorn is understood to be the planet of destiny for this reason.

As we cultivate the precious gems of integrity, morality and ethics we are utilizing the Capricorn energy well.

The Moon in Capricorn affords us the self agency needed to transform chaos into a harmonious set of structures and systems based on hard earned respect, integrity and dignity. To be sustainable it must be grounded in hard evidence with human decency at its core.

Capricorn Moon shining thru the Cancer Sun allows us to question our relationship to authority and our position in society.

On the other hand the Sun in Cancer brings up issues that include the sanctity of home. Home being the sacred space where safety, nurture and comfort must be found. The two are interrelated. They both feed each other.

The other symbol of Capricorn is the archetype of the hermit. The lone disciple climbing up the mountain to seek solitude. To persevere and practice as a disciple in order to have the integrity to stand sovereign within their own being. Their own aliveness.

This archetype gives Capricorn the reputation of being a somber serious sign. It is. However its energy within the Zodiac wheel and our lives is very necessary. There are times in some peoples lives where solitude is a place of self reclamation.

To hold our lives together. To keep on and to carry on.

This Capricorn Moon conjuncts Pluto Rx at 0 degrees Aquarius. This adds power and intensity to this culminating moment. The dynamic energy of Pluto intensifies the qualities of the Moon in Capricorn.

There is a sobriety to this moment. The movement of the planets thru the Zodiac indicates the somber significance of this moment in time. We see it getting played out as we observe and are affected by the continual unfolding of current events.

It is clear that we are in the midst of change and transformation. It is helpful to be aware of this time as a cycle of energetic shifts. Energies that actually contain various components of being that are on a continuum of life ever flowing.

To remember that we are always given opportunities to evolve, grow and support each other in sustainable ways. This moment of rapid change with its various shifts holds within it particular tendencies that have the potential to give us the wisdom we need in order to deal.

There is a wisdom contained within this moment that holds within it the seeds of new life. Uranus in Taurus contains within it the seeds of the new by which we can invent what we need. The goal being to have the power to become embodied within our own humanity, once again. Time to create ways in which we can support ourselves and each other.

In light of that, Pluto conjunct the Moon literally indicates demolition and death. There is an understanding and awareness that comprehending death as a doorway is in the interest of supporting life. In the form of birth. This pertains to structures, habits and traditions. The ineffective structures must be cleared away. This is not easy. The process of birth is an arduous painful labor of love. As a global community the astrology indicates that we are in this process which occurs to serve as a way to lay the ground for redemption and renewal. Rebirth follows the process of death in the pantheon of Pluto.

As this Full Moon exudes a great deal of intensity via the Pluto influence we have an interesting twist in the story. The Moon conjunct Pluto Rx is in harmonious sextile to Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces.

Neptune operates in duality. The elevated influence of Neptune is to raise awareness towards consciousness that interconnects with All that Is. To bring to bear the heart of truth. The truth that in reality We are all One. Even amidst diversification and individuation. In fact diversification and individuation is what makes life interesting, both sweet and spicy. While at the same time enabling us all to thrive.

However, Neptune can be a challenging influence. It has the tendency to fog up our perceptions of reality. Neptune’s influence can bring about an uneasiness akin to existential anxiety.

However when we are aware of how our perceptions are being manipulated we can choose to wake ourselves up out of it.

Neptune’s influence must be mastered with the use of a healthy balanced ego. This allows us to open the door to the higher transcendent mysticism of Neptune. So for Neptune to be the pinnacle of this small grand trine is a helpful influence at this powerful moment we are living thru.

Having said all of that, Neptune forms a sextile to Mars at 0 degrees Gemini conjunct Uranus in Taurus at 26 degrees. This spices things up even more as the assertive life force of the Warrior, being Mars is conjunct Uranus with its sudden movements motivated towards freedom and liberation. At the same time this conjunction of Mars/Uranus is conjunct the Fixed Star Algol at 26 degrees Taurus .

Once again this, being the trine Mars/Uranus/Algol in Taurus forms to the Moon/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn is all being tempered by Neptune’s influence. Neptune at the pinnacle of this small grand trine has the capacity to act as an elixir of compassion and understanding. To allow the flow of higher consciousness to prevail.

The Mars/Uranus/Argol combination is serving a relevant purpose within this configuration. The Warrior archetype of Mars whose significant endpoint is to fight for survival as Uranus seeks to liberate and individuate. Uranus provides stimulating energy as it nourishes genuine paths towards freedom. To support and inspire original thoughts, ideas and inventions. Remember that for Uranus, “the seed of the new is in the shell of the old.”

Then we have the Fixed Star Argol to consider. Argol is understood to be the head of Medusa. It’s a fascinating phenomena whose meaning must have profound healing impacts on us each individually, locally, nationally and globally.

It is interpreted that thru the horrible ugliness emitted from the magnitude of the ghastly atrocity still pulsating from her head, that she can either protect or destroy you. The potential of the powerful metaphor that holds the enigma of Argol and the mysterious phenomena of the head of Medusa is as yet somewhat mysterious. It does seem to stand to reason that depending on whether you are behind her or in front of her she offers you either safety or being turned to stone. There is a healthy healing elixir in that metaphor. I, myself am still in the midst of formulating what that might be and how it serves as a healing parable in the World we are living in now. If anybody reading this has any ideas please post them in the comments section offered beneath this post.

Thank-you.

Indeed this is a moment of mastery as Neptune continues so very slowly moving along at 29 degrees Pisces. As the influences of the just now passing Full Moon in Capricorn being illumined by its opposition to the Cancer Sun at 29 degrees continues on, let us affirm that wisdom via this moment of mastery prevails.

Neptune and Saturn transiting thru Pisces does have the capacity to implant mercy, compassion and understanding into the mix.

Mars/Uranus conjunction in Taurus forms a square to Mercury in Leo. This brings about the potential to stimulate creative communication. Mercury gets ready to station Rx on August 4 until August 27. So the stressful energy it forms to the powerful liberating combo of the Mars/Uranus conjunction in Taurus has the potential to bring about some rethinking about our values. To become aware of what really matters.

The tension of the square requires us to find a way to work with both of these energies even as they create friction snd stress.

Still and all this square can lighten things up a bit. When Mercury is involved the mind and its ability to make logical sense even out of the illogical is what is needed. There is within this configuration the capacity for humor. A sense of humor is a gift from the Universe at such a critical time as this. Humor and wit opens the door to new ideas or just eases the stress. Humor is an emotion of the heart just as sadness is. As we move into Leo season, connection to heart in the psychological and metaphysical sense will take center stage.

The good news is that Saturn in Pisces forming a square aspect to Jupiter in Gemini makes the communication factor a real thing. Communication is the elixir that makes everything come together.

These configurations have the capacity to imbue us with the wisdom that is contained within the 29 degree factor.

This is a beautiful square as Jupiter the planet of faith and justice in Gemini must negotiate Saturn in its most reflective position in Pisces.

Are we ready to open our minds towards expanding our understanding of actual evidenced based reality? To acknowledge what is actually real and true along with the awareness of the continuum of mystical transcendence.

To honor our own personal experience of how we sense the spiritual as honorable as others sense theirs?

Can we use the chaos and confusion of this moment to be the doorway to a new understanding of our lives and what it means to be human.

This is my interpretation of this moment. Here we are on the brink of breakthroughs. However it is wise to remember the adage, “it’s always darkest before dawn.”

As we are illumined by the brightness of this Full Moon focus your attention on what you have gained mastery of in your life.

What is coming to fruition?

What is in the process of completion?

Allow yourself to be held in this wondrous moment knowing that you have all the wisdom you need to be ready to turn the page as you continue.

Then let go, breathe and keep on…..
