☾✩☽ Cosmic Intel + Teachings ☾✩☽
Full Moons draw energy up and out of us, making them powerful portals for releasing, completing, and unearthing new information. As the moon climbs into Capricorn we are invited into a deeper shift into greater alignment with structure and responsibility , discipline and discipleship. When the moon is full in Capricorn, it sits opposite the sun in Cancer in the sky. This Cancer-Capricorn axis is concerned with security—both materially and emotionally.
This lunation asks you to reflect deeper on how this dichotomy exists within you. Have you abandoned one principle in exchange for the other?
1. Relationship to mother, roots and nurturance
2. Relationship to father structure and discipline
The full Moon in Capricorn provides a container for the vast array of feelings brought up by Cancer season. It lends us just enough emotional discernment to decide what we need to heal, restore, and evolve. Part of the work of Cancer season is to find our home frequency.
This lunation teaches us what we truly value in this world. It brings us to our core essence and values. It also shines a light on how we emit our core, or home, frequency into the world.
Imagine a tree with deep roots. Cancer’s energy represents what is buried beneath the soil, while Capricorn represents the branches on top. As we nourish our roots throughout Cancer season, we also strengthen and grow the reach of our entire energy.
This full moon is a time to become clear on the practices that help you nourish your roots and then give your energy direction on where it wants to travel within the infinite possibilities of its reach.
☾✩☽ Cancer-Capricorn Axis ☾✩☽
We cannot think about Capricorn without thinking about the opposite sign, Cancer. We can only understand the essence of a sign in relation to the opposite sign. Two opposite signs have the same energy, but they express it in completely different ways.
Cancer-Capricorn is the axis of security. With Capricorn, we look for security outside. We climb the ladder. We get promoted. We get diplomas, awards, and certifications. We get recognized. All in the name of security.
With Cancer, we look for security inside. We draw our strength from within. We have solid emotional foundations. We build a home. We express our feelings with no fear. We have strong relationships with our family. We embrace our culture.
Capricorn the highest point of zodiac and Cancer is the lowest point. Capricorn is the tree, Cancer is the roots. We cannot have one without the other. With no solid roots, the tree will never grow strong. With nothing to grow into, the roots don’t have a reason to exist.
Capricorn is an earth sign, and represents our material security.
Cancer is a water sign and represents our emotional security.
Capricorn lives in a world of boundary, hard work and productivity.
Cancer lives in a world of emotional exploration.
Capricorn initiates the utilization of the physical world around us.
While Cancer initiates feeling, Capricorn takes Cancer’s reluctant hand and guides it through the outer world showing it how to utilize that precious heart in the outer world of accomplishments.
Cancer beckons Capricorn home to refuel, replenish and remember what is at the heart of life.
This doesn’t mean that Capricorn values – perseverance, rules, hard work, being an adult – are not important. They are important. But they become truly meaningful when they are rooted in the truth of who we are (Cancer).
Too much focus on Capricorn and we’re like a mouse on the treadmill. We run and run and run, without knowing where we’re heading. We feel directionless, and even if we become successful by worldly standards, we feel unfulfilled and empty
Too much focus on Cancer and we never grow up. We blame our early upbringing for our lack of success and direction in life. We feel vulnerable, and we don’t believe we can actually “make it” on our own.
The full Moon in Capricorn presents a powerful opportunity for self-reflection, particularly around emotional management and regulation. Capricorn encourages us to establish structures and systems that can support the full expression and understanding of our emotions. It’s a pivotal time for creating containers—literal and metaphorical—that allow us to safely explore the depth and array of our feelings.
Cancer season has brought up countless emotions, insights, and revelations. Our emotions are our power. They bring us information, but it takes a steady foundation to make sense of this information. Unless we ground our emotions, they can feel overwhelming, chaotic, and disruptive.
☾✩☽ Moon Medicine Rituals ☾✩☽
Create an altar. Create a sacred space in your home - see our guide in aftercare.
Connect with the Moon. Whether or not you subscribe to astrology, the moon is always in the sky, and attuning yourself to the moon's cycle can guide self-care.
New moon: At the beginning of the lunar month, the moon is a new moon. Metaphorically, it's a time to plant the new seeds of goals, intentions, and actions.
Waxing phase: Her growth from new moon to full moon is the waxing phase. This the Warrior Phase—where we gain momentum in our actions.
Waning phase: The Sage Phase happens as she wanes from full, —where we gradually power down, restore ourselves, and integrate lessons learned.
Dark moon: The last few days before the new moon is called the dark moon. Here's when we retreat to our proverbial caves to rest and reflect, preparing for a new cycle ahead
Cleanse. Sage your Home, Bedroom, Chariot & Office. Energetically cleanse the energetic wombs of your life, where you find yourself “creating”.
Observe. Select a journal, and record your dreams, thoughts, insights, experiences and observations.
Collect items: pen, paper, tarot cards, candles, incense, herbs, symbols to represent Luna: mirror, mother, water, seashells, etc.
Have Patience. Have patience with yourself and the journey you’re embarking. Allow yourself the emotional space to process, release, learn, develop and heal.
Lavender Oil. Have lavender in your home, bed or altar. Lavender can bring stillness, and calm an overactive mind.
I Feel. Acknowledge your emotions and journal with what emerges.
Breathe Deeply. The pull of The Moon can bring up strong sensations and emotions – and sometimes this is uncomfortable. However it’s a prime opportunity to feel more and allow the emotion to unfurl. A very practical and grounded way to do so is to focus on the breath and breathe a little deeper than you would normally. Place your hands on your Womb and Heart and take a few deep breaths and feel.
Go For A Moon Walk. Walking in the lunar light in nature can be particularly magical.Watch how the trees move and interact; with The Moon, the wind, with you, and listen, really listen in to the sounds of nature. Moon Bathing can be a truly magical and intimate experience.
Take A Long Luxurious Bath. The Moon affects the tides, the Oceans, the water in our body.
To get in touch with this aspect of nature within and around us – take a long bath.Add in Epson Salts, your favourite essential oil, play some soothing music, light candles and relax.
Tending to your Temple: BodyLiving consciously starts with taking care of your body; the temple that houses you, here on this planet. So, scan yourself from head to toe. How does your body feel? Give yourself all the O2 and H2O your body needs.. Your body will thank you for that.
Ground, Ground, and Ground
The magnetic pull of The Moon is strong so Grounding is super important. If you do nothing else at The Full Moon – ground. It’s especially helpful just before bed as being rooted in the body aids a better sleep.
