Full Moon in Capricorn
Full Moon in Capricorn
Peak Lunation Friday June 21st @9:08 pm EST
If you are new here, welcome!! I am Brandi with Double Libra Astrology! My intention is to make astrology relatable to everyone, regardless of how much you may or may not understand about this topic. Using astrology to navigate my life and gain a deeper understanding of myself has been incredibly powerful! Everyone should have access to astrology as an amazing tool for expansion… Now onto this full Moon in Capricorn!
The full Moon is a period in the lunar cycle, where the Sun’s rays are fully reflected upon the Moon, which illuminates her in the night sky. The full Moon always highlights an axis or two opposing energies that must be brought into balance. This often means something must be released in order to bring balance and harmony to seemingly opposing forces.
Extra Special!
June’s full Moon at 1° Capricorn is extra special for a few reasons! First, this lunation tails the Summer Solstice by about one day. The Summer Solstice marks the beginning of a brand new season! Additionally, this full Moon in Capricorn is one of two Capricorn Lunations that will occur this season! That means more opportunity to work with these Capricorn energies…
Sea Goat and the Moon
Capricorn is an Earth sign represented by the symbolism of the Sea Goat. Ruled by the planet Saturn, this archetype is very much about the ways in which we strive to achieve long-term success. The Sea Goat has the drive and determination to climb any mountain and swim any length!
The Sun then lies in Capricorn’s opposing sign- Cancer. The architype of Cancer is ruled by the Moon which represents our internal world, our home and deep internal emotions. The Sun at 1° of cancer is conjunct Venus and Mercury also in Cancer which brings an additional sweetness to this lunation.
Release
Remember- the full Moon represents where something needs to be released in order to restore balance. This month’s full Moon being at 1° really emphasizes the opportunity for new beginnings if we can discover where we need to prune our internal world. The key themes with the Cancer/Capricorn axis are all about balancing who we truly our on the inside and how we show up in the world. This axis can also highlight where we have been out in the world trying to achieve too much and neglecting ourselves! It could also show up as the places we are retreating inside for fear of rejection if we step out into the world as who we truly are.
This lunation is also asking us to explore our feelings around success and realigning with our internal Compass. As an Earth sign, Capricorn offers us a great opportunity to use our body as a tool to deepen into our internal landscape. As we reach the half way mark on the year take some time to reflect upon your definition of success and notice how it feels in your body. What is feeling heavy about how you show up in the world? How can you transmute this heaviness? Are you sacrificing true happiness for old ideas about success and achieving all the goals?
Personal Story
I know that for me these Capricorn themes were a HUGE piece of work. I thought that if I kept achieving, earning degrees, and having an “important” career that somehow I would just magically be happy. When I began to realize that I was unhappy (borderline miserable) despite achieving all the “things”- I really had to deeply explore who I was and how I had gotten so far away from my true nature.
We are very programmed in our culture to believe that we need to do all the things! This months lunation really offers the opportunity to dial back and return to the essence of being. Work on leaning into noticing your body and what shows up when you are doing things that you know in your heart are not in alignment! And remember- we are human beings not human doings. Cancer invites you to return to reprioritizing your needs first!
