On June 24th, 2021 at 2:39PM EDT, the Capricorn Moon opposes the Cancer Sun at 3 degrees giving us this month's Full Moon - our annual Full Moon in Capricorn.
There is always a challenge between the polarity signs in play at the
time of any Full Moon because we have the Moon opposite the Sun. This is Cancer vs Capricorn.
Family vs work. The security that comes from nurturing ourselves, nurturing others or being nurtured vs the security that comes from having work in the world and money coming in. Our nest at home vs our place in the world. Summer vs. winter. Preparing for birth vs preparing for death "winter is coming". Childhood vs old age. Vulnerability vs self-sufficiency. Mom vs dad. Imbalances here might become more visible to allow us to realign what isn't working.
Also imbalances with authority and authority figures and the way we use and mis-use our own authority.
The Capricorn Full Moon throws a light on
what power can do and also on the finality of choices we've already made.
Full Moons bring situations to light, to a peak, a result, a conclusion. Happening in serious Capricorn - think high-noon if your entire lifetime was reduced to 24 hours - with Cappy ruler Saturn, retrograde and squaring Uranus and sextiling Chiron - BOTH this year's BIG repeating aspects gives this one added oomph.
Maybe something that began at the Cappy New Moon in mid-January 2021 has reached a result/conclusion. With strict Capricorn maybe these are the results of hard work, hardly working or working hard at the wrong things. If we have been slacking off or putting our energies into the wrong
things or into things that are just not meant to happen right now this
will become clear to us
(the square to Uranus will make it easier to bounce off in an entirely new direction and get some traction fairly quickly - this is likely something already on our radar).
If we have been working hard - the results will be clear now, too.
Coming immediately after the Summer Solstice - the Sun standing still for 3 days - and following Mercury's retrograde station speaks of BIG/SERIOUS DECISIONS between the old and the new. Saturn, ruler of Cappy and ruler of this lunation, likes practical/firm decisions and if we have been back and forth on something (and this waffling has made perfect sense because this is not so clear cut even though now is the time to make the clear cut) NOW here is the energy to make a stand/choice. Maybe an old commitment needs to end or responsibilities reassessed. Saturn is the energy of "no" (the firm decision ending the "maybe" and the firm decision being both the decision and the decision to not look back), so this Full Moon might be more about what we are ending than about a strong attraction/draw toward something NEW - although life has pulled strings for ALL OF US to make the new seem even more attractive than it actually is to get us MOVING!
Let's unpack the chart!
The Moon is at 3 degrees Capricorn. The Sun at 3 degrees Cancer. They are opposing. The Moon is sextiling beneficial Jupiter (retrograde) at 2 degrees Pisces and bi-quintile Mars (in Leo). Cappy ruler Saturn is retrograde and squaring Uranus (waning), sextiling Chiron - EXACT - and trining the North Node.
The Cancer/Cappy polarity is about home/inner life vs work/life in the world. The Moon's sextile (opportunity) to beneficial Jupiter speaks of good news/luck/faith. Whatever is happening is somehow to our BENEFIT. Her biquintile - a gift meeting another gift - to fiery Mars in Leo, a kind of synergy that is greater than just the sum of its parts. I also see biquintiles prominent at times we are off-loading old reactions from past losses/not doing what we did before or maybe something happening that allows the cord connected to the loss to be cut, so that with future events we will not be dealing with these unconscious reactions/responses that no longer benefit us.
With retrograde Saturn's sextile to Chiron EXACT at the Full Moon this decision/ending/result triggers a very old and painful story about our identity/ability to take care of ourselves/stand up for ourselves. Sextiles are opportunities - this one is Aquarius/Aries, so independent/individualistic. This is our most beneficial repeating aspect of 2021. Healing of childhood/past-life/ancestral TRAUMA. Saturn is trining the North Node. This is Aquarius/Gemini. BIG decisions/ideas/conversations/plans. There is something here with its roots in the past AND something geared to a BETTER FUTURE.
We are re-assessing our priorities/commitments/work in the world. Figuring out, all over again, what is worth our resources, time, efforts. Drawing our line in the sand. We are working through this kind of 'mental-pressure' for a powerful new direction. By next spring, when master number 22 gets a powerful reactivation - we will have a much better idea where all this is going because we will kind of BE THERE (and, yes, THERE will keep changing, this is the Age of Aquarius, folks, get used to it). There is no amount of money/effort that can get us back what has been irretrievably lost. Focusing on the past or getting lost in daydreams of the future is just another way to escape (notice Neptune, God of escape, is no where to be found in this lunation).
Saturn/Capricorn is reality. Here is what it is. Here is where we are. What are we going to do?
Full Moons are very potent energy and this one is ALL BUSINESS.
Make sure you get out and walk in it!
