Full Moon in Capricorn—
A Path to Transformation!
The Moon at 10 degrees Capricorn opposes the Sun in Cancer on July 2, 2015, at 2:20 a.m. Universal Time. Transformational Pluto is conjunct the Moon as he opposes Mars in Cancer, bringing deep emotions and truths to the surface that must be acknowledged and released.
Mars energizing the Sun in sensitive, security-conscious Cancer would like us to spend our time cooking up fun events with family and friends, playing it safe — while Pluto in stern Capricorn demands we fulfill our responsibilities and get serious about working toward what we truly need.
This intense opposition may give rise to power struggles with authority figures and significant others as we try to find a balance between our responsibilities at work and our attempts to nurture our selves and those we love. The full Moon partnered with Pluto in Capricorn shines her light on power, commitment, possible manipulation and passive aggression, as she demands her deep-seated needs be met. When Mars and Pluto form an opposition, we must be careful not to go over the top, erupting in anger or violence, as powerful emotions are unleashed.
Full moons often represent endings or a finalizing of plans. This one asks us to think back to the relationship themes in play last April when an eclipse occurred in Libra. A major project or step is completing on our path to a new sense of self and life purpose. The final outcome might be revealed around the next eclipse in September.
Neptune at 9 degrees Pisces offers spiritual support for our plans and dreams, but may also bring confusion as we struggle to let go of the past and blocks to our success—behavior, habits, relationships, structures and/or institutions that are no longer working.
It’s not all doom and gloom. Bountiful Jupiter dances with beautiful Venus in fun-loving Leo this month, and forms a trine to unpredictable Uranus in cutting-edge Aries. This rare “Star of the Magi” event lightens our mood to bring us unexpected opportunities, abundance and love. Our planetary Guardian Angels swoop in with divine grace to help us emerge from the struggle to find success and fulfillment!
