Pop! There goes that hot air balloon you once fueled with ambitious designs to outdo everyone. Thud! Another balloon falls under the weight of your expectation that someone else will take care of your emotional well-being. It’s Full Moon time, and it pulls your current professional and family concerns into sharp focus.
The airwaves still crackle with the electricity generated by the alignment of cultural change-makers Uranus and Pluto. You can thank Tuesday’s Full Moon in Capricorn for re-stimulating this cosmic acupuncture point. It can grate on you, although there is a payoff in the form of physical healing, along with mental awareness and spiritual growth.
Still, if you’re afraid of needles you might dread the treatment session. No small wonder—but welcome it anyhow. You’re in the midst of powerful forces that squeeze you into combining a human need to stand out and be adored with an emerging collective desire to join forces with people who want to share the limelight, share the planet’s resources, share the power. When you’re creating a new system, it takes faith and imagination to support the physical, mental and emotional work of building a better world.
Building a better world is the work of communities, not solo contractors. The power and strength of your key relationships, coupled with your personal creative and intellectual energy, is what will make the difference in whether or not you succeed at what you’re doing.
Big steps involved? Uh-huh. For now, even if you re-define “success”—what does it mean to you?—you can lift off with this Capricorn Full Moon. Not with hot air, but with a grounded understanding of your unique contribution Here and Now.
