Climbing Higher: The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th Offers Focus, Power, and Purpose
Mark your calendars and charge your crystals — the Full Moon in Capricorn rises high on Thursday , July 10th at 1:37 PM PDT / 4:37 PM EDT, bringing with it a surge of determination, ambition, and emotional maturity. If you’ve been feeling scattered or unsure about your next move, this grounding lunar moment is your cosmic green light to take bold, practical steps toward your long-term goals. Even more to the point the Sabian Symbol for the Moon @ 18 degrees 50 is: A Child of About Five Carrying a Huge Shopping Bag Filled with Groceries. This symbol refers directly to having to carry heavy loads, to shoulder responsibilities, doing chores and jobs and help others, sometimes because there’s no one else who can or do too much, or too quickly. Like the child in the image, you need to play, be creative and give yourself time to rest.
Earthy Capricorn: The Father, the old man, the Sea Goat or the trusted
advisor?
Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is the zodiac's mountain goat — tenacious, hardworking, and focused on the summit. Half goat and half fish, Capricorn is the elder of the zodiac. The top half, that of a sea goat represents the head, thought and thinking, something Capricorn tends to do too much. The bottom half, the fish represents the spiritual side of Capricorn and balances out the head. Perhaps the greatest lessons for Capricorn is not to get stuck in their heads and rush to the top of the mountain – there is a lot more to life than ‘success’ and when we are fulfilled and remember to connect to our more sensual and mystical side, our souls can integrate 3d experiences so we can move on to higher dimensions.
The energy of Capricorn is reminding us that slow and steady like the tortoise really does win the race. Even though we as a collective need to get real, take responsibility, and reflect on how far we've come is, we still need of follow our dreams to build the life we truly want while reveling in the joys of being alive.
We are in Cancer season (where the Sun currently resides) is about
nurturing and emotional comfort, Capricorn asks: how can you balance care with
discipline? How can you turn your dreams into something tangible? Now with potent help from Neptune (retrograde) and Saturn turning retrograde on July 13th both in the active, pioneering sign of Aries, our dreams can achieve their necessary structure to manifest. Both planets are conjunct Pegasus/Scheat which is all about our liberation.
