Capricorn Full Moon

CAPRICORN FULL MOON 21 Degrees. 2:37 pm EST.

We can really feel how much life longs for itself inside this Capricorn Full moon.

Each Full Moon highlights an axis of the Zodiacal Wheel. Bringing our ability to balance Polarity into full view.

In this case, the full moon is stretched across the gates of soul incarnation, and exit.

CANCER sign of Incarnation, How we entered this realm, and our very early years. It governs, Home, Safety, and the place in which all of the psychological issues around “mother” (Moon) reside. Where we might learn something about our early life, and attachment styles.

And CAPRICORN, the place of disembodiment, & nigredo. Home of our ancestors. But also, a sign which deals with such themes as our dedicated, fastidious, striving towards some greater end. From apprentice to Master, foundation stone, to capstone. Our life’s work once we have left the home of our mother. Our own legacy. Saturn’s Domicile.

The moon doesn’t quite feel at home in Capricorn. We may have this “scratching around in the night” experience as we traverse this full moon portal.

The hard work, the exhaustion of striving, makes us long for home, and high quality rest. Long to be embraced by someone/anyone, the way our mother held us. With that deep sigh kind of love. We’ve been exposed, left to the elements too long. We’ve seen too much, we know too much, we need to revitalize our interior. Homesick.

Or conversely, when the monotony of life has stretched on before us like an Oklahoma Plain. Home, day in and day out. The longing to create something out side of these four walls is crushing. The sensation of being trapped is more than just boredom. It’s the fear that we will one day be forgotten if we don’t stamp our legacy onto the world.

This full moon, so very close to our buddy Pluto, the emotional excavator, will give us an opportunity to drop into our longing around these two, interconnected things. The harbor, and the horizon. The ground and the peak.

It’s something to have our psyche stretched across this axis. Between our sanctuary and our legacy. Dry bones, and watered bones. Issues of childhood & and how that childhood ultimately shaped us. And whether or not we ever had real safety, all come up here.

Along with issues of midlife. Have we done our work? Is it work that aligns with our values? What of our legacy?

I know a lot is said these days about “following our destiny” or, our “soul’s desire” when it comes to the work we do in the world. Which, is fabulous when one has the drive and desire to do that.

But it’s also just as meaningful when these two signs, or two houses, work synergistically.

There’s a simple beauty in the dream of building a home sanctuary for ourselves and our loved ones. While ordinary work becomes the means by which we accomplish this.

It’s not always about a huge work out in the world. We can create magic in the balance of this axis. Joy in our work, pleasure in our homes.

Let this Full Moon illuminate where things may be out of alignment between home and life’s work. Allow it to bring up old stories from the past, that are still active somewhere in a dusty part of the psyche.

Stories of not enoughness, comparison, scarcity, and abundance, safety, and control, are often born across the Cancer Capricorn Axis.

Capricorn is a Saturn Ruled sign. The Gateway to the other world. With its proximity to Pluto, and opposition to the Sun, Ceres, and Mercury, I wouldn’t be surprised if these themes present themselves in an existential fashion. With a sense of urgency. Ride the waves. We will have an opportunity to pull each thread in the coming weeks.

This is a big opportunity to move out old junk, to make room for flourishing. Use your grief and longing as an access point if nothing immediately surfaces. I’ve done some previous writing on (7/12) this for those who are interested.

Death, Grief, and Longing, as alchemical tools, belong to this part of the chart.

CAPRICORN 22

A bare altar covered with black velvet.

Death is a force that brings into Earth something from beyond and this something is the X factor in the human equation. Your own previous deaths as major sign-posts which hold you to your noblest and most surrendered ways of being. Mortality has spoken; immortality arises from the ashes. A threshold awareness that hugs the edge between the worlds and bows before a God who presides over the living and the dead. You stride across worlds, in tune with myriad frequencies, and are quite able to make way for the unknown, the infinite, the other side of life. A fiercely-held intention to bow before what truly is and fall for nothing less, no matter how attractive or appealing.
