Capricorn Full Moon

The 7/10 Capricorn Full Moon shines a light on responsibility imbalances, carrying heavy burdens and the progress that’s possible when we work in healthy partnerships with others.

This lunation’s Tarot Majors include The Devil (Capricorn), The World (Saturn rules Cap), The Chariot (Cancer), The High Priestess (The Moon rules Cancer), The Magician (Mercury rules Cancer’s 2nd decan), & The Tower (Mars rules Cap’s 2nd decan). The decans hold the compassionate, collaborative and celebratory energy of the Queens and 3s of Cups/Pentacles. These cards as us to harness our inner wisdom and manifestation potential to break free from unhealthy patterns. Momentum is possible towards the creation of more stable, nurturing structures and relationships.

The Moon sits in Capricorn 19, a degree related to growing up too fast, heavy burdens and carrying too much responsibility. The Sun in Cancer 19, illuminates a degree related to ritual, partnerships, commitments and bringing people together. These two Sabians highlight the imbalances between going it alone vs indulging society’s customs related to partnership.

The I Ching hexagrams echo similar themes. The Moon sits in Hex 54, Line 4 relates specifically to partnership through the metaphor of delaying marriage for a more proper time. @bellwen says of Line 4 “Do not rush a life-altering commitment. Hold out for better prospects to come.”

The Sun rests in Hex 53, which speaks of steadfast, steady progress – Line 4 specifically speaks to a moment where a potentially over-ambitious undertaking has occurred, and we may now find ourselves out of our element. While no harm will come, the advice is to not push further, to rest, rather than attempt an even more ambitious escalation.

Ultimately, this lunation illuminates the balance between how much we take on ourselves vs allow others to help us with. It advises caution, especially as it relates to jumping into uncomfortable commitments and ultimately helps us release toxic patterns that have kept us feeling stuck.
