Capricorn Full Moon, major Transformation Moment
29+ Capricorn/Cancer, July 21 2024, 3:17am PDT, 6:17am EDT, 11:17 BST, 8:17pm AEST
Pluto closely conjuncts this Full Moon across the Capricorn/ Aquarius cusp, reflecting a collective ‘crossing over’ journey, which will powerfully unfold over the upcoming two waning weeks of this Moon cycle— and during Pluto’s last revisit to Capricorn from September 2-November 18. What will our global (and deeply individual) experience become in this post-Capricornian ‘after’ life? We may get some clues now, as the Moon conjuncts Pluto within in about 3 hours of Full, and the Sun opposes in 2 days. Under Pluto’s necessity this is a potent moment to let go of old structures and shape our vision into ReNewal.
The Cancer Sun, its light reflected in the Full, has one last question for this year: are you open to receiving the living light Aquarian waters on tap from the Kosmos? Cancer needs a protective shell to contain is sensitivity and vulnerability, but may use it as an enclosing shield. One can always feel safe asking to receive all that Mother DIvine desires to give us. Drink it in.
CHIRON IMPACT
Chiron, at 23+ Aries, is another major activator for this Full Moon. It is mythically meaningful that CHiron was discovered in 1977 and Pluto’s Moon Charon in 1978. Their names resonate, along with some of their shared transitional processes shedding one dimension of consciousness/living to another.
The Sabian Symbol for CHiron at 24 Cancer is so encouraging:
An Open Window and a Net Curtain Blowing into the Shape of a Cornucopia.
Here is another image of opening into new energy, the flowing, blowing of air sign Aquarius. We also have the image of a Cornucopia, which pours out a’plenty, onto which we can overlay the symbolic vessel of Aquarius, the Water-Carrier, used to transport and pour out the Waters of Life.
Chiron is zooming in on this degree as it slows to turn retrograde on July 26. We continue to be in the dimensional shift portal of the April 8 Total Eclipse, which was precisely conjunct CHiron at 19 degrees 24 minutes Aries. You may remember the Sabian Symbol for 20 Aries: A Young Girl Feeding BIrds in Winter
Can you make a storyline using these two, CHiron-connected Sabian images? Doing so may be a significant creative process that in some way reflects your CHiron healing/learning process well into next year. It clearly suggests a seasonal shift. What else do you imagine?
Considering our lives since that major Eclipse is relevant, as CHiron will circle back to that position during its imminent retrograde cycle, holding at 19 Aries through the last half of November, 2024 and well into February, 2025. CHiron turns direct close to year’s end, on December 28/29. It retrogrades through the 24th minute of Aries on November 29/30, and again in forward motion close to the end of January. Therefore the Eclipse impact is activated through the New Year doorway of 2025. Synchronicities may be evident.
Teacher/ Healer; Wounds & Blessings; In-the-Present, “Be Here Now” alignmnent of spirit/ mental/ emotional/ physical; Shamanic dimensions— all these and more themes of CHiron are activated NOW. We are called to find our Courage to step deeper into our Essential Soul Selfhood to embody all what you are capable of Being, and to receive the Gifts that are your soul legacy.
Think about your own CHiron placement. If you born May 1973 through 1974, you are now experiencing your potentized CHiron return.
Earth Mysteries Mother Ceres is another key factor on this Full Moon as she was on the New Moon beginning of this lunation cycle.
I appreciate that on this Full Moon Ceres highlights the goddess dimension in the magic 11-11 degree of Capricorn. Below see my keyword sheet on Ceres, based in part on my experience of Ceres while living in the Green Mountain State of Vermont, where Ceres, as ‘Agriculture' rules atop the Golden Dome of the State House. A few years ago, a new statue was carved to replace a rotting, 80-year-old statue. This was the third ‘incarnation’ of Ceres for Vermont, and was ceremonially enthroned in 2018.
Allow Ceres to attune you to Nature, inspiring her natural living and wellbeing of “All Our Relations” living in Earth with us. She is often an advocate for a group of people, species or living being, even the health of the soil itself that is not being included in the circle of Common Good. She also demonstrates her essence through the substrata of interwoven mycelium
You will note that both Venus and Salacia are also at the 11th degrees, in fire signs Leo and Aries respectively and respectfully. Salacia sparkles in the shimmering intelligence of plasma light. She is in a high square activation with Ceres, highlighting the responsive life force energy of our living world Gaia to incoming solar and galactic waves. Are you feeling them? Venus is in such lovely resonance with Salacia, heightening the aesthetic expression of Earth’s love frequencies.
We see this theme in these photos from the current exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art: “Biophilia, Nature Reimagined”. "Biophilia" is a term popularized by American biologist Edward O. Wilson to describe his theory that, as humans have evolved as a species, they have been intricately intertwined with the natural world. This exhibit aims to “highlight the transformative power of nature.” This Full Moon highlights this theme in many ways!
Salacia’s Song from Sicily.
Enjoy more delight from Salacia in this video shared today by a mystical and magical lover of Lemuria. Another friend on the shores of Hawai’i sees that Salacia’s “sparkling Light transforms into Dancing Light Beings”.
Playing in the waters, we must acknowledge Neptune’s fluid trine with the Sun, both in the last degree, water sign to water sign, making waves and high emotional tides. Feel your feelings and fine-tune your frequency. Our emotional capacity is one of our unique and potently creative human gifts. Give time to explore this potential more deeply in order navigate these times smoothly. Get some rest to dream your dreams, both night and day dreams. Listen to the song of your soul.
That’s about it. I can write no more. The midnight hour into tomorrow steadily approaches and the Moon is about to rise in my part of the world. I will go watch Moon Rise and leave with these last (but not least) remarks.
Uranus is still hunkered in tight with Star Algol, looking through the penetrating Eye of Medusa that sees through to the core, strips us bare, “with the objectivity of nature itself and our dreams, boring into the soul to find the naked truth, to see reality beneath all its myriad forms and the illusions and defenses it displays” [Sylvia Perera, Descent to the Goddess]. Not pleasant, but a necessary part of our Awakening.
Mars has moved into Gemini, past its volatile conjunction with Uranus— but Mercury now squares Uranus/ Algol on this Full Moon, revealing what we need to know to finish out, not only this Moon cycle, but also the whole 16-year phase of Pluto in Capricorn, 2008-2024.
And look! Next year when Mercury squares Algol. we see a very different picture. Uranus has passed into Gemini. And Neptune is in Aries! That’s very different.
During my Full Moon talk with Honey Golden, we focused, as above, on Pluto and CHiron, with mention of Ceres and Sedna. Then we followed the connecting thread of Mercury squaring Algol, jumping ahead into next year’s Mercury square Algol to look at the new planetary patterns when all three outer planets—Pluto, Neptune, Uranus—have changed sign! Have a listen.
MAY FULL MOON BLESSINGS SHOWER UPON US ALL!
