Full Moon in Capricorn
♑️ Today we have a rare event, the first of two full moons in Capricorn, which take place during this Cancer season. Full moons are a time of heightened energies as we have an opposition between the Sun and Moon with our planet Earth in between. Naturally there is a tension that is present and we need to handle two opposite energies - in this case between Capricorn and Cancer - the most different of all the astrological pairs. Our goal is to find a balance between them - to give a solid earthy container to the flow of our emotions and intuitive energies. To find a balance between discipline and structure and freedom, to celebrate what is working and release what is not. Find a balance between the demand of work and home, mind and heart, while releasing control.
🌕 Full moons are a time of culmination, illumination and celebration, of harvesting the crops that we planted about 6 months ago, around the 11th January 2024, the day of the New Moon in Capricorn. So go back in time and check if there was anything particular that you started around this time. Maybe it was just an idea that later developed into a project with a bigger vision or a wish that materialized.
🏆 Take some time to connect to yourself and celebrate your success and how far you’ve come. Take account of all the things you’ve learned the last 6 months and give yourself the space to be proud and happy with your accomplishments.
RECOMMENDED PRACTICES for this Full Moon:
🧘♀️ Meditation is always a great practice which helps us to calm down our minds when the energies of the full moon are usually quite high and often overwhelming.
✍️ Gratitude - take some paper and write at least 10 things that you are grateful for - notice the small and big things that you have in life and don’t take anything for granted. Feel the gratitude in your body and how it shifts your energy.
💞 Forgiveness - take another piece of paper and create a forgiveness list - journal about all the things you forgive yourself and approach this with lots of love and compassion. Then write about other people who have wronged you. If you feel resistance, try as much as you can and promise yourself to continue the process throughout the moon cycles.
Choose to burn or keep the lists and proceed with another grounding meditation.
🌝 Enjoy this full moon!
