Beautiful Earthlings,
The Full Moon in Capricorn arrives today, June 29th ringed in reminiscence. Mercury in Cancer goes retrograde on the same day along with Jupiter moving into Leo for a year! This is a week not to act but to sit with the high tide of emotions that come with this Full Moon.
Let’s start with the Full Moon in Capricorn. As you might know, Capricorn is right across from the sign of Cancer. So, when we have a Full Moon while the Sun is in Cancer it’s always in Capricorn. All of the Full Moons have extra tension added since the Sun and the Moon are right across from each other pushing on each other. This Full Moon has a little extra tension added to it as it is square (dynamic action, think arm wrestling) to Neptune.
This is a very interesting aspect because we have the Capricorn Moon ready to organize and take charge, with the Cancer Moon, wringing her hands in worry and then Neptune blurring everything.
Neptune is informing the Moon/Sun to relax and breathe. Maybe go for a long walk in the verdant woods and listen to the Swanson thrushes sing their summer songs. Or make a lush meal for your loved ones and enjoy their smiles. Why are you so bound and determined to worry and work? (Or is it work and worry?)
Mercury retrograde is echoing that. It is in the final degrees of Cancer and there it stopped. Then it every so slowly started walking backwards on the day of the Full Moon. Mercury is the winged messenger that flies around the Sun in 88 days but when he goes retrograde, (3 times a year for 3 weeks each retrograde) it is time to slow down and take stock. The stock to take is in the sign he is retrograde in.
The reflection that Mercury takes in Cancer is in the realm of feelings. It is time to integrate your emotions that you’ve been carefully sitting on like a mother hen over the next three weeks. Invite them in, feel them in your body, allow them.
Then Jupiter crosses into Leo from Cancer that day too! It stays in Leo for a little over a year till July 26, 2027. We call Jupiter the “Year Star” because it takes roughly 12 years to orbit the Sun, so it stays in one sign for a year then moves on.
Even though it isn’t a giant deal when it moves signs, it is a big deal that it is happening exactly on the Full Moon and that Jupiter is moving out of Cancer where the Sun is. This signifies that we need to let go of some old emotional burdens (such as a relationship, old narrative or self-pity) that we may be loathed to do so.
This all means that this Full Moon is highly loaded with emotions and shifting.
Be gentle on yourself and allow.
Imagine, sitting on the shore, knowing you can’t change the tides, but are giving space for them. Choose to respect the strong rip tides and flow with them. Don’t fight it. Sit with it.
