Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn

The July 16th Full Moon eclipse (24 deg Capricorn) conjoins Pluto Rx. Pluto purges what’s beneath the Capricorn structure, resulting in the deconstruction of old traditions. The past is being unearthed.

There is a massive redefinition coming up. The death of old rules and transformative results that uncover a new reality. A Moon/Pluto conjunction means intense needs and emotions – a feeling of life or death, even if the situation is not about this (on the surface). The heightened energy of the Full Moon eclipse (massive culmination) will amplify that intensity. There could be obsessive feelings of control (and fear) as what you’re trying to control is swept away. Know that Pluto is relentless, so don’t even bother trying to clamp down- just accept the ending while focusing on the future.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Saturn Rx applies to an opposition with Venus in Cancer (exact on July 17th). So we see another ending/result (an opposition is always a culmination). What you want/love (Venus) will be defined by this culmination: there will be limits (or maybe a commitment) but Venus will also cross the North Node (path forward) so you’re moving ahead, no matter what.

If you get what you want, or not, there will be heavy responsibilities but you’ll still be moving in the right direction (the North Node). A Pluto-flavoured eclipse ensures that your old foundations will crumble so you might as well love what’s coming up – commit (Saturn) to focusing on what’s next. Note that Capricorn is old age/maturity and Cancer is the child, so this situation will be new born: the “death” and rebirth as Venus crosses the North Node.

July 14th, 2019: Injection of Perspective

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Sagittarius Moon and Cancer Sun (21 deg)

  • Sun in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

Challenging energies today, as the Waxing Inconjunct presents an awkward reminder that what’s safe/subjective needs to be adjusted with the bigger picture. Personal or family issues may receive an unwelcome injection of wisdom, education or expansion. You have to look up and out while still considering matters closest to you.

Adding to the discomfort, the Sun opposes Pluto Rx. Pluto is the Shadow, the power play or manipulation. The light of the Sun will expose what’s darkest, revealing the underside of family or deeply subjective concerns. Watch for domestic power plays, increased neediness or a result that indicates the “death” of a familiar situation.

This is where the Waxing Inconjunct will come in handy; as much as you may not want to consider the bigger picture or distant horizon, it’s essential that you factor it into this intense Pluto energy. You need that outside input because it will give you perspective on this heavy situation.

July 13th, 2019: As Far As You Can Go

  • Sagittarius Moon trine Mars in leo (7 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon conjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Sagittarius (9:30 PM EDT)

  • Moon enters Capricorn and VOC ends (July 14th, 7:04 PM EDT)

The Sag Moon sparks an optimistic but uncertain mood. The trine to Mars can activate confident actions, the desire to take a risk or the desire to let out all your feelings out. This will be done in a rush of enthusiasm or passion, rather than moodiness.

The conjunction to Jupiter Rx can intensify the desire for growth, or make the review of a previous opportunity seem timely and urgent- you may feel like now is the time to go for it, especially if you let the opportunity slide before.

But the square to Neptune, followed by the Moon’s VOC, ends things on a confusing note. The enthusiasm, drive and optimism can dissolve or take you in an unwise direction. You could find yourself drifting or barreling down a path that is suddenly shrouded in fog. Sag is the journey and Neptune is the dream. In hard aspect, the journey can go awry and the dream of the adventure can be false.

When the Moon is Void of Course, it’s time to slow down and take stock of the day’s events. As the square to Neptune is the last aspect, this suggests the diffusion of potential. You can only take something so far before it fizzles. Exhale and let it go – this is as much as you can do for now. Once the Moon enters businesslike Capricorn the following evening, you can focus with renewed determination and a better grip on reality.

Take note of what happens at the time the Moon goes VOC-do you feel the energy shift? Does something dissolve?

July 12th, 2019: Approach With Confidence

  • Sagittarius Moon conjunct Ceres Rx (0 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon trine Mercury Rx in Leo (3 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

The Sag Moon unites with Ceres (nurturing) for enhanced awareness of expansion/adventure that’s ready for growth and nurturing. Ceres’ Rx status means the issue is being reviewed – perhaps the type of nurturing someone is receiving is being reconsidered. Mother themes are prominent – beliefs, faith or education about a mothering issue.

The Moon goes on to form a brief Grand Fire Trine with Mercury and Chiron Rx – a smooth flow of vital energy brings life to a repeat discussion/realization which helps you discuss a sore spot (Chiron). Watch for a feeling of hope and enthusiasm- there is a solution and there is something bold/creative that you can do. Note that everything the Moon is aspecting is Rx – not a new issue, but the second time around could present a breakthrough.

Talk about it and approach the issue with confidence. Try to light the fire again.

July 11th, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

  • Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)

  • Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

  • Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.

The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.

But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).

Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.
