Full Moon in Capricorn: Astral Aperture

Astro toolkit:

  • Moon trine Mars - instinct to make a move, anger as a ligand that clicks you into place

  • Moon sextile North Node - chord vibration, glimmers of right timing

 There is a purity of purpose to the Full Moon in Capricorn. You are invited to clearly recognize the responsibilities you have to others and most of all to your own heart. Sometimes these emotional foci can hold us hostage and make life feel exceptionally heavy, but under this influence they serve as an anchor, providing guidance for the path ahead. You are starting to understand your place in the fabric of time and investing in what feels right.

With Mars linked to the Moon and no outside limitation imposed by outer planets, there is no disruption in transmission of the image--only pure acceleration. You are aligning the aperture with the shutter speed to create a super crisp picture of what you need for the future. The result of this influence is an uncomplicated self-reliance and a confidence in your own authority. While you might normally look outside for reassurance, you understand you've waited long enough already to make these serious moves you’re planning. You're flexing a muscle that feels honed and ready but may be uncomfortable to use.

Although the next two weeks will be surprisingly smooth and fast-moving, expect a fair amount of semi crash-outs and emotional volatility. Cancer season has us geared up to overreact to anxieties in hopes of preventing pandemonium … not to mention, giving up at the tiniest hint of rejection or failure. With Mars involved, anger may click your priorities into place with tantrum-esque alacrity. Don’t trip - you’ll notice everything turns out fine, but you will feel the need to be convinced before you drop the knife. You may see your identity bloat and shrink with your inner tides. If you’re riding high one day, only to be painfully insecure the next, chalk it up to your super crisp vision of the world and its fears and foibles.


With lunar Cancer season energy pulsing through the background, it is essential for you to integrate your needs into this crystal clear picture of the future. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the bastion of long-term commitment and systems. When linked with these lunar undulations, your plans are permeable but substantial. What comes to fruition at this time is something that may become deeply intertwined with who you are even as it seems unsteady at this exact moment. Your vision right now is long-range and stable. Any endings or culminations that come up during this influence may center on your home, your family or your career. Changes feel inevitable and hyperreal even if it's just the beginning.

In the next two weeks, allow yourself to develop.
