Full Moons shed a very particular light, the kind of light that illuminates things you might not otherwise notice, helping you to see with senses that the brightness of the Sun blocks. Moonlight invites you to feel your way through situations, your senses heightened to sounds and whispers of the night that have messages and directives for you. This Full Moon at 18 degrees Capricorn, opposing the Sun at 18 degrees Cancer highlights the dynamic between the Moon (ruler of Cancer) and Saturn (ruler of Capricorn).
Cancer feels and responds emotionally. Capricorn evaluates and moves forward strategically. You have both these energies working in your own chart. Both these energies want to be heard, want to be expressed. The Full Moon highlights the push-pull of these opposites, hinting at ways you can balance these dynamically opposed energies. Both Cancer and Capricorn are connected to family, to tradition, to your lineage. Perhaps relatives long gone have messages for you, lessons learned that are now available to you in the magical vibration of the Full Moon.
Look to where 18 degrees Capricorn and 18 degrees Cancer fall in your chart to see where the Full Moon is asking you balance intuition and practicality. The houses where the Full Moon falls in your chart will show you the areas of your life that are being highlighted.

Pluto, Neptune, Saturn and Mercury are all moving retrograde this month. When you see the term ‘station retrograde’ that is the degree at which the planet seems to halt and then turns to move retrograde. Retrograde planets move slowly and so their energy is focused more intensely on you, bringing their energies more clearly front and center for you to engage with. With so many planets moving retrograde by mid-July. Plan to slow down to be fully in the energies of the moment. Time, as you know, is plastic, mutable, flexible, so slow it down when you need to and accelerate as the situation requires.

Working with the planetary energies is a co-creative experience. You are an active participant in creating your own experience.

Arthur likes to hang out by plants. He knows the pleasure of connecting with their grounding and soothing energy. Earth energy is the perfect antidote to too much Air. Cats are so smart.
