Full Moon in Capricorn July 21, 2024 ✨🌕♑

“Time is Running Out”

We have a sense that something is closing, ending, completing its cycle, or urgently needing to be released.

 At the same time, there is increased realism, maturity, responsibility, and pressure to do what needs to be done and finish the last task before moving on to a new chapter.

A moon in Capricorn always brings considerable workload, and the Full Moon occurring on July 21st at the critical 29°.08′ degrees of the sign (13:17 Greece time) continues the theme from the previous month’s Full Moon at the 1st degree of Capricorn. The difference here is the culmination of the entire’s sign experience, leading to greater awareness but also fatigue and the critical nature of the  final anaretic degrees.

What is important for you to complete?

Which goals, plans, or ambitions are not working or not fulfilling you, and need to be redefined or abandoned to reach where you want?

How can you adapt what was valuable to you in the past in a way that provides meaning and support for the future?

This Moon invites us to embrace the lessons of the past individually and collectively, to take responsibility, recognize past achievements and mistakes, correct our course, and move forward with new intentions and purpose.

The Sabian symbol for the degree where the Sun at the moment of the Full Moon is “A Daughter of the American Revolution,” highlighting the struggles for independence, expressing faith in one’s abilities, tested values, and the desire to continue the ideals and traditions inherited from homeland, ancestors, family. Alternatively, it may suggest a call for a revolution worthy of the glorious past.

Meanwhile,  the Moon’s degree “A Secret Meeting of Men Responsible for Executive Decisions in World Affairs” implies that we are at a crucial juncture requiring reliability, confidentiality, and absolute responsibility.

At this Moon, it’s vital to be the master of your emotional and external world and to take the reins of your destiny. Reflect on your roles, ambitions, principles, and conditioning especially if they haven’t served your highest good, and make a fresh start.

Pluto, the planet of ultimate power and transformation, retrograde in Aquarius and in an out-of-sign conjunction with the Full Moon, supervises the process and examines our deeds. It brings powerful revelations and surfaces difficult emotions, fears, passions, and insecurities for you to understand, release, and rebirth yourself.

What were you previously unable to change?

What did you neglect, avoid, or ignore, that is now evident and inescapable?

How did you use your power, and what concessions or abuses did you make?

Under Pluto’s watchful eye, there are no excuses or escape. This energy demands honesty, courage, transparency, justice, challenging anything decayed, potentially leading to painful consequences, the price of past choices, and an urgent need for purification.

Thus, this lunation is preparatory and fateful as it takes place at the degree where Pluto will transit from September 2 to November 20, marking the culmination of its transformative journey in Capricorn since 2008. It illuminates the last act of the play and our transition from the old world to the new, with all the internal or external changes in the structures and systems of our lives, leading to transformation and rebirth.

This energy directly affects those with personal planets and points in the last degrees of the Cardinal signs Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn. And where you have 29° Capricorn, you are called to present the final credentials, complete plans, and projects, celebrate the success from previous dedication and hard work, or let collapse what is not real and doesn’ t fit to who you are becoming.

On a collective level, the Full Moon highlights a process of purification and final judgment for institutions, organizations, and authority figures that will take place in the coming months, aiming for liberation from centralized, rigid, and corrupt systems and transitioning to more progressive and decentralized ones.

The trine between the Full Moon and Mars brings courage, initiative, strength, and the ability to take charge of your personal growth and move forward effectively. It encourages the implementation of your ideas and accomplishes much, armed with information, alternatives, flexibility, and the support provided by social networking. With Mars at 0° Gemini, this is also the time to plant new ideas and projects, initiating us into a new becoming.

Considering that Mars is part of a small talent Triangle, among the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which formed in 2023 and continuing for the next four years, we can see how its position enhances their dynamic interaction. This interaction leads to deep transformations, upgrading collective consciousness, personal and collective evolution.

Mars’ conjunction with Alcyone, the brightest star in the Pleiades cluster, associated with the feminine principle, deep emotions, mysticism, intuition, and transformation, foreshadows challenges, emotional turmoil, and intense experiences, especially for women. This will require self-awareness and careful management while triggering a greater spiritual awakening. Traditionally, this alignment could also be associated with adverse weather conditions or maritime accidents.

However, the supportive sextile of Venus from 12° Leo with Jupiter brings optimism, protection, creativity, and growth opportunities, allowing us to showcase talents, receive recognition, and fulfill desires.

At the same time, the harmonious trine of the Full Moon with Uranus awakens and liberates. It brings ‘’deus ex machina’’ solutions helping us exit restrictions and emotional attachments, and to seize unexpected opportunities and support.

The square between Mercury at 26° Leo and Uranus, is the reason you may change initial ideas and plans, possibly due to unexpected developments, to think outside the box and project yourself into a future with new possibilities.

The harmonious sextile of the Full Moon with Neptune, the planet of dreams, spiritual connection, and transcendence, retrograde at the critical 29° Pisces, offers an opportunity to harness inspiration, intuitive knowledge, and spiritual guidance.It can make us witnesses to divine manifestation and help us transcend our small selves, trusting the higher Plan.

This aspect also sheds light on possible mistakes, illusions, and idealizations, inviting us to show compassion and forgiveness managing endings or losses with a spirit of surrender and grace for greater spiritual benefit.

Saturn, the ruler of the Full Moon, in a degree of apprenticeship according to the Sabian symbols, soon squaring with Jupiter at 17° Gemini-Pisces on August 19, calls us to recognize the illusions, deceptions, and castles in the sand we built and to demonstrate spiritual discipline in the face of limitations, obstacles, or losses. This is an opportunity to understand the lessons and necessity behind them and see them as opportunities for transcendence and growth.

When everything around you is unpredictable, uncertain, and contradictory, the only thing you can rely on is yourself. Therefore, during this Full Moon, you need to listen to your inner compass and make decisions based on the lessons, experiences, and inner voice, not external demands. Make different choices and deeper internal changes for the rebirth that is a matter of time.

As Pluto soon settles permanently in Aquarius and we begin to realize that we are in a new world, this is the time to see what you will take with you from the old one,what you will leave behind, and what you will still create to survive and thrive.

In an imminent world with new ethics, systems, and demands, with the absolute omnipotence of new technology and artificial intelligence, it’s time to think of new ways, skills, and strategies and find your place!✨🌍

Wishing everyone a blessed and illuminating  Full Moon!✨🌕🕊☮

With love💓💓💓
