Full Moon in Capricorn: take responsibility for your emotions

On 24 June the Full Moon rises at 3 degrees Capricorn. This is a call to grow up and take responsibility for our emotions. Even though it feels like they’re happening to you, actually you choose to feel the way you feel. Acknowledging this is the only way you can move on and begin to feel differently.

Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces the very next day, offering us the chance to explore the depths of our dreaming. If we remain aware, retrograde Neptune can help us understand what is real and what is illusory. Or it can take us deep into delusion and addiction. You can best take advantage of this energy by quietening your mind through meditation, yoga or other mindfulness practice. Neptune turns direct again on 2 December.

Any Full Moon in Capricorn is a call to grow up and take responsibility for our emotions. Its nobody’s fault that you feel this way: you can’t blame your boyfriend or your parents or your boss. They’re your emotions. Be aware that the Full Moon in Capricorn isn’t the most sociable of moons and has a tendency to withdraw when it feels emotionally threatened.

The Full Moon in Capricorn may also dredge up the fears we hold about success. In this we are all different: some fear failure, others success, while still others project our fears onto others, expecting our children or partner to succeed for us.

The Full Moon in Capricorn brings emotional maturity and the gift of self-discipline. Like a strong boat in stormy sea we can ride above our emotions and reach our destination safely. We cannot stop the storm but we can stay firmly seated in our little boat while the seas seethe around us.
