Super Full Moon in Capricorn
Super Capricorn Full Moon
July 13th
Happy Full Moon friends,
Intensity continues to be the name of the game these days, with tomorrow’s super Full Moon in Capricorn continuing to enhance the intense and volatile feelings of our current realities.
If you're feeling swept away by it all (which I know I can certainly feel with all going on), remember to spend time grounding. Grounding means intentionally connecting your energy with the energy of Mother Earth and allowing yourself to pull the supportive and healing energy from Earth into your whole being.
GROUNDING PRACTICE:
To ground, begin by sitting or standing, outside or inside (although outside is always recommended!) and focus on your breath. Inhale and exhale slowly, deeply and fully as you imagine energetic roots growing from your feet and sit-bone down into Earth. Allow them the anchor somewhere as you continue to breathe deeply and slowly, reeceiving fresh oxygen and Prana, as you imagine your feet, and your sitbone, sucking up loving energy from Earth and moving it through your whole body. Breathe like this for as long as you like or until you feel energetically filled up.
When I felt into the energies for this full Moon, the first chakra that I felt activated was my heart chakra. It felt like a yearning kind of pulling at my heart that then moved down into my solar plexus and root chakras. I felt my heart begin to beat faster, and my breath became quick and shallow. I felt like I was either really excited* or scared or maybe even both. *(I know the excitement is due to this!) Then I felt a rage rise from within deep in my lower body as I saw and heard the words "We Want to Do Something!"
That desire to channel emotions into actions is what Capricorn energy is all about.
And ensuring that those actions help us achieve more of what we desire, is also so very Capricorn.
Capricorn is an Earth sign, grounded in action, and with a hunger to achieve. Capricorn traits include focus, drive, persistence, and thriving off doing, creating and making things happen.
On a personal level, Full Moons often influence more intense emotions, helping us process and release energies that want to be moved though us. This Capricorn full Moon shines a special focus on our sense of achievement, or not, around our careers and life goals. If you are feeling that yearning in your heart, to be someplace where you are not yet, please remember how far you've already come.
FULL MOON RITUAL:
Journal on all that you've achieved and accomplished, allowing yourself to feel pride and love for yourself.
Then make a list of any thoughts, beliefs or habits that may be keeping you from attaining what you want.
Safely burn or shred this list, while bringing up a feeling of release and expansion within you.
On a collective level, this full Moon feels intense, volatile and electric too, like a spark just waiting to ignite. With all that is going on in the world, the desire to do, to help, to somehow be of service, can feel overwhelming, but please remember that there are so many organizations, groups and communities out there doing so much good. Find causes you care about. Research ways to help and then donate in whatever way you can, whether that be through money, your time or your expertise. And then be sure to vote, in every election, for candidates that share your same values and desire to help.

With the intensity of these days, during Cancer season, it feels to me as though we are being tasked with learning to accept and honor our emotions, while figuring out how to move those emotions into worthy actions. All of our emotions. The “good” ones and the “bad” ones. Those emotions that are easier to love like: freedom, choice, hope, connection, awe, joy and love. And those emotions we often run from or repress, like: shame, guilt, unworthiness, sadness, overwhelm, anger, anxiety and fear. The Moon also asks us to learn to love and accept ourselves (and others) through emotional waves.
With the influence of feeling Cancer with doing Capricorn, this full Moon reminds us to harness our emotions, all of our emotions, into actions. Capricorn also asks us if we can remember to honor Earth in our daily actions, and our visions for a better future. And can we use these visions to fuel the actions needed to create that better future?
At the moment, the only answers I have to these questions are a deep belief in human kindness, and my daily choices in how I live, learn, love and show up in this world. And maybe that’s just what’s needed right now.
with infinite love and appreciation,
Rachael
ps - Due to loads of other astrological transits happening with this Full Moon there is a kind of chaotic and Eclipse like energy to this lunation which is not necessarily the best for energy harnessing (aka - magic). Of course, please always feels empowered to do what feels right for you, but I will forgo my lunar crystal charging and moon water making this month.
