Full Moon in Capricorn

Capricorn’s evolutionary goal is to merge their nature with their public identity which poses the question: how can we both embody and merge who we are are with our purpose? The answer lies in finding a cause, mission or work that is worthy of you. A mountain that is worthy of climbing, meaning one that is worthy of your complete focus, discipline, and commitment. Because of their ambition, Capricorn has the capacity to navigate any challenging terrain as symbolized by the sea goat.

In order to accomplish great work — solitude and saying no to temporary satisfaction and gratification is often required. Capricorn is in it for the long haul and the satisfaction that comes from reaching the top of the mountain. Nothing tastes sweeter than standing upon the vision they created as they bask in the knowing that they gave it their all.

The full Moon is opposite the Sun in Cancer. Both Cancer and Capricorn value security but have different pathways of achieving it. Cancer finds it through inner and outer safety — creating safe and nourishing spaces with people they love and trust — while Capricorn finds it through putting their entire being into their mission, accomplishing great work, and a job done immaculately. The full Moon illuminates this polarity.

So with this full Moon ask yourself: are you focusing so intently on your goals to the point where you are neglecting to care for yourself? In what ways can you redefine success to include a healthy dose of self-care and relaxation in between? (*Venus trine Saturn) This full Moon asks us to not only reevaluate what success mean to us, but to envision (*Neptune) what that looks like regardless of what society defines or deems as being successful (*Mercury sextile Uranus). How can we create more supportive structures for ourselves in achieving our goals and move away from the restriction and intensity (*Pluto) that we often put ourselves through in the process of bringing our goals to life?
