Full Moon in Capricorn, July 21, 2024 6:17am EDT
This is the second full Moon in Capricorn, this time occurring at 29 degrees (the Full Moon in June was at 1 degree Capricorn). If you thought last month’s lunation was intense, then buckle your seatbelt and prepare for a ride.
This time, the lunation doesn’t just occur at the powerful 29th degree, but includes the following:
The Moon is conjunct Pluto, in resource with Neptune, manifesting with Mars and Uranus, Great eliminator with Mercury.
The Sun is in intimacy with Mercury, in resource with Mars and Uranus and manifesting with Neptune.
AND- the Moon and the Sun are creating an intersection with Chiron and Eris (23 and 25 degrees Aries) and another one with Haumea at 0 degrees Scorpio. Phew!
This lunation continues the themes that began at last month’s full Moon, completing something that showed up at the time along the themes of the Cancer/Capricorn axis. You can review last month’s report and/or your journal to remember what was showing up at that time. Recall that Capricorn is the sign of the Executive Director and Cancer is the sign of the Mother. The Moon is also still disposed by Saturn in Pisces. Consider this- are there emotional wounds, especially from childhood (Cancer energy) that are being illuminated by the Sun? Are those wounds preventing you from claiming rightful ownership of your life, your goals, your dreams?
Mercury in a stepping stone with Uranus promises flashes of insight, although those insights may not feel comfortable. The upside to discomfort is that it can be very motivating. Let yourself be moved! Old patterns of thinking and behaving serve to keep you in your comfort zone, but is it serving your highest good?
Mars and Uranus are manifesting with the Moon and Pluto and when these two come together it is always very powerful. Pluto is always pushing for transformation and rebirth, and Mars is lending his energy to make way for something more in alignment with your higher self. This could also feel very big (Pluto), sudden (Uranus) and possibly overwhelming (Moon). Remember to give yourself plenty of self-love, compassion and empathy. Re-parent yourself by giving yourself the attention and empathy you deserve, but may not have been given as a child. Said another way, showing up for yourself may feel very foreign to you, but it’s important to do so. Hold space for yourself without judgment. This allows you to bridge the Cancer energy of the Mother with these powerful Capricorn energies and use it to serve your highest path instead of holding you back.
Mercury is forming a Finger of God with Neptune and the Moon/Pluto. The tension between emotional transformation (Moon/Pluto) and enlightenment or illusions (Neptune) points to thoughts/beliefs (Mercury). So practice awareness of those thoughts and beliefs and remember to consider how those thoughts and beliefs serve your highest good. The work of Byron Katie is coming to mind right now. You can ask yourself, “Is this true?” “Who would I be if I didn’t believe these thoughts?” (I’m paraphrasing Byron Katie but you can look her up if you want a deeper dive.)
Finally, let’s discuss the intersections (one could argue it’s a crossroads but Eris and Haumea are a bit far apart). We have Eris, the inner disruptor, dancing with Chiron, the wounded healer. Inner pain is informing this lunation. On the other side the powerful 5D creatrix, Haumea, insists that something magical can be made here. So which direction to choose? Remember that old wounds can be healed and we can move forward. Old, repetitive cycles can be transcended. Pluto is practically demanding it.
This is an incredibly powerful, transformative Full Moon. Give yourself plenty of space to be in this energy. Remember that love transcends fear, and focus on what you love. What do you want your legacy to be? What is Pluto demanding of you at this time? Can you take one small step forward? And another? And then another?
Let’s all take a collective deep breath, with hands on our hearts. The energy is huge right now. As I am writing this, I am sending all of you love and peace. Let’s all send that energy out into the world. It is needed. And all is well.
