We have been on a pilgrimage that started on June 21st with the initial Capricorn Full Moon at the 1st degree of the sign, now culminating with the second Full Moon at the last. This is a rare occurrence yet one that has given us an opportunity to assess and re-assess our goals, ambitions, and the foundation beneath us, while rooting out whatever obstructions may be slowing or sabotaging the forward momentum. Capricorn reigns over not only our personal and familial structures but the larger societal structures as well.
The Cancer Sun (Mother) opposing the Capricorn Moon (Father) illuminates the deeper patterning that was installed in childhood relating to security, authority, emotions, integrity, home, family, and ambition. These are complex issues, due to the generational wounded-ness of the maternal and paternal lines as a result of the past two thousand years of the dark ages. We often playout our unhealed childhood wounds within our intimate and familial relationships that will perpetuate the disfunction. We must shine the light of awareness upon them and do the soul-work for true transformation.
This second Full Moon is conjunct Lord Pluto – God of the Underworld, giving us another chance to surrender any toxic structures, emotional baggage, or unhealthy dependencies that have lingered. To disengage from any distorted authority structures, owning our own innate wisdom within. This lunation, at the last degree of Capricorn, is the moment to commit and persevere, as the mountain goat, towards the zenith with your contribution to the New World that we have all incarnated here to construct. It is the grand finale in many ways – ‘it’s now or never’. We may also trust that the ‘tower is falling’ at this 29th critical degree of Capricorn. Sometimes before we can go up, we must go down.
With Neptune also at the 29˚ of the zodiac, there is a looming feeling of big things ending, and while this may create angst, we may trust that what is ending is necessary, in order to proceed to the next level of evolution, truly laying the groundwork for the Aquarian Age.
Pluto retrograde will also return to the 29˚ degree of Capricorn September-November(same degree as this Full Moon) and as Capricorn rules ‘the system’. The arrival of ruthless Pluto will dredge up more of the shadow corruption just in time for the election. It will be a circus, no doubt, as the intensity is already off the charts right out of the gate. We know the system must be completely transformed which requires the decay process but may we pray for the process to be as easeful as possible, with an ‘end’ of the misuse of power, corruption and greed that has toxified our global structures through out the previous ages.
This powerful Blue Moon, tightly conjunct retrograde Pluto at 0º Aquarius offers a completion to a journey of psychological and emotional transformation. This lunation shines a light in the shadows offering opportunities to gain awareness of what attachments have to be released and what needs to drastically shift in order for us to mature and reach our highest timeline potential.
Full Moons are notoriously emotionally charged, with Pluto unearthing old wounds, be aware this could be amplified. With Saturn and Neptune both retrograde in Pisces, the tendency to want to ‘escape’ is strong, but this will only fracture the process as evolution occurs through the emotional body. Make space for what arises, greet it with compassion, get support if needed, and wield your alchemical powers keeping your eyes fixed on the horizon!
