Full Moon in Capricorn 18°

We have a Full Moon in Capricorn 18° on July 10 at 4:36pm EDT.

Firstly, I’d like to remind you that full moons are typically about:

• Some sort of release – whether it’s letting go of a harmful, self-sabotaging pattern or walking away from a toxic relationship.
• Celebration – which can be very similar to the energy of a release, such as the completion of a project or a culmination point of any sort.
• Shining a spotlight on an area of your life where the lunation occurs (by looking at where it falls in your birth chart).

Full moons bring closure to what began earlier in the lunar cycle – either two weeks ago or six months ago, depending on the broader lunar phase. What did you initiate back then that is now bearing the fruits of your labor?

This lunation shines a spotlight on what your duties and obligations are, based on your needs and the needs of others. Does it feel like a burden you no longer should carry? Is it even yours?  Or is it about the realization and acceptance of these responsibilities for you?

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn and of this full moon, represents karma in astrology. Deeply rooted processes.

What outdated patterns are you willing to release?

Any karmic relationships that you feel stuck in but, for some reason cannot let go of?

Have you been working around the clock only to now realize that empty feeling stemming from lack of fulfillment, acknowledgment or recognition?

Saturn is about to go retrograde on July 14, meaning its impact is extra strong during the stationary stage which is right before the retrograde. That karmic sense you could be feeling is not out of the blue, so don’t be surprised by karmic lessons teaching you about the much-needed truth, even if it’s harsh.

Tonight, review what’s being highlighted for you and see how you limit yourself and your own growth. Be it through the lens of guilt, shame, or “I must” do this and that, otherwise I’m not worthy, or I’ll be judged, or whatever else you’ve convinced yourself to belief in.

While we all feel the gravitational pull, major placements close to 18° Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn will feel this energy the most.
