Full Moon in Capricorn
I’m writing this Full Moon missive surrounded by overflowing boxes of herbs spread all over my office, books and bottles strewn in every corner, two rowdy, in need of a walk dogs and several loads of laundry waiting for me in the other room. The demands of the moment feel very alive today, as if everything needs to get done all at once in order for the future to unfold. If you too are feeling stretched between the demands of the past, present and future today, you are not alone.
The Capricorn Full Moon asks us to bring our attention to what needs to happen today, right now, to lay the ground work for what can be built 10, 20 or even 100 years from now.
Pluto, planet of destruction and rebirth joins the moon in Capricorn in a 6 degree conjunction. Pluto lends an intensity and power to this bright lunar light, making us aware that life is short and we can only make so many choices in our lives. What will you choose today to move you forward towards tomorrow?
Mercury, Uranus and the lunar nodes also support the Full Moon in Capricorn, bringing awareness, clarity and ingenuity to the mix. You may receive communication and insights now that seemingly arrive out of nowhere. Mercury in Cancer conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon remind us to FEEL into our goals and plans for success. What does success feel like to you? To your inner child? To your inner adult?
Uranus trine the Full Moon and sextile the Sun helps to align us with truth and authenticity. How can you bring your unique self into the future? Meanwhile the transiting North Node in Taurus is almost exactly trine this lunation, showing us that evolution comes through embodiment, practicality and connection to the earth. Where can you “Capricornize” your life to create a plan for a sustainable, resilient, earth based future?
Find out where this lunation lights up your chart with an Astrological Consultation (or book a Starflower reading for herbal and cosmic support).
