This month’s FULL MOON is in Capricorn, and the SUN is in Cancer, so the conversation is resonating a little more than usual – because I’m a Capricorn with Cancer rising. Aligning with Mercury in Retrograde feels even more introspective … and I’m embracing the pause to reflect.

Capricorn is a mythical Sea Goat ✨️♑︎

The architect, and ambitious mountain climber, driven by a deep sense of purpose, and passion for building a meaningful legacy.

According to astrology, Capricorns are old souls with a deep sense of responsibility, our karmic duty is to find inner balance, to anchor practical, and lasting value into the world, and our work (soul purpose) is transforming systemic pressure testing our resilience and integrity into strength and wisdom.

That’s the magic of our medicine we are here to share ✨️♑︎

Regardless of our zodiac sign – Capricorn is asking us questions around ambition, structure, and responsibility. The annual alignment with Cancer is illuminating an ongoing dialogue we all have – between the head (ego – what we think) and heart (soul – how we feel). For me, this conversation is asking if my choices are reflecting my devotion to a sacred path.

Romy, the star gazing astrology expresses this beautifully …

“The sacred path is the way we allow ourselves to fall deeply into the wisdom of the Earth, the cycles of our body, and the infinite expression of intelligence held in the cosmos we are ethereally bonded to – this is the way – this is the work.”

Most of us intuitively know we are more than the roles we play, and the external obligations of our responsibilities, but our authentic truth can become lost in the performance. That’s how we unconsciously build masks, that creates a persona. Ultimately, we become characters in costumes, that role play in the drama, according to the social scripts, and stories we are telling ourselves.

Forgetting who we are is why life shakes us – to drop the mask, and if we don’t pay attention then life will deliver a slap in the face – to wake us up, but remembering who we are will challenge us to change, and that’s when we feel the tension and friction of our resistance – because change makes us all feel uncomfortable … and that’s why growth is optional.

I began asking who am I beyond the roles and responsibilities over 10 years ago. During a mid life existential crisis that called me OUT of the comfort zone, to an adventure that lasted (9) years, and it was an EPIC journey of self discovery.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Aristotle

A Full Moon in Capricorn shines a light on what we are building and creating. Cancer is asking us how we are feeling about what we’ve built and created thus far – to determine if we are still committed, and if it’s not in alignment, then the tension and friction of change will be felt.

• Am I devoted to my path or am I feeling obligated?
• Am I in alignment with my genuine desires?
• Do I want to keep climbing this mountain?

Capricorn is the architect, so this energy is about the foundational structures we are building and creating upon, and that comes in various different forms.

• We create a family and build a career
• We build a house and create a home
• We re-create ourselves and build a reputation
• We build skills and create community
• We create experiences and build character
• We build upon our knowledge and create a legacy

After gaining clarity and clearing space, this FULL MOON is asking …

• What are you building?
• What are you committed to?
• What legacy are you creating?

Do the structures of your life support this?

• What nourishes you?
• What feels like home?
• What makes you feel emotionally safe?

The previous Moon cycles have been guiding us IN – to determine what we need to feel safe and supported, so we can continue to build a life on secure foundations, and create something that matters to us. Reflecting on our work – life balance, and practicing self care is how we work best with Capricorn Moon and Cancer Sun energy, but it requires a deliberate shift – to treat our emotional well-being as equally important as our responsibilities.

NOW is the time to ask ourselves …

• What supports my personal growth?
• What drains my energy?
• Am I setting clear boundaries?
• How do I nurture and nourish myself?
• What am I building in the physical world?
• Is it aligning with my future visions?

Those of us consciously diving IN deeper are doing a Karmic Check-in – to see if we’ve outgrown unhealthy habits (or) repeating a lesson we still need to learn.

It’s taken many repeated cycles around the Moon, and recurring patterns around the Earth (literally) to learn some of my lessons …

The calls home to my mother land, the despair of losing parts of my SELF, the missing of what’s gone, the aches of being separated from those I love, the longing to belong somewhere with someone, the devastation of having nothing left to give, and the yearning for another – it’s all been a catalyst for my inner growth and personal development.

Everything is an experience to learn and grow from

As I stand a little more confidently in my truth under this Capricorn Moon, I acknowledge – in my search for deeper truths I’m learning how to care deeply without clinging, love without holding on in fear, open to experience without trying to control or manage it, and surrender to the moment without wanting to escape it.

Detachment is the path towards inner freedom, and it will challenge us to let go of everything we fear to lose, but what remains is true.

According to philosophers, the laws of detachment are …

• Allow others to be who they are
• Allow yourself to be who you are
• Don’t force situations.
• Solutions will emerge.
• Uncertainty is reality.
• Embrace it

Under this FULL MOON I’m thanking the stars for this sacred alignment ✨️♑︎

According to the star gazers, this months FULL MOON in Scorpio is asking us ONE question in (3) different voices because of Pluto and Mercury’s influence.

• What have you been carrying in private that needs to come out?
• Who and what belongs in your future?
• What truth about yourself have you finally found words for?

Scorpio energy is intense because it “pulls at what’s been operating beneath conscious awareness into full visibility,” to expose hidden truths. Transforming raw emotion, trauma, and shadow into power, wisdom, and profound growth.

When we work more intentionally with this energy, then it can be alchemy.

Last months NEW MOON in Aries opened up a new (19) year cycle, and that’s WHY this FULL MOON will be triggering some significant experiences. NEW cycles are built upon neurological pathways, behavioural defaults, and identity structures. It will be shining a light on the truth we tell ourselves, to highlight the gap between who we claim to be, and the habits we keep repeating.

• What story is still whispering in the dark?
• Where do you start to shrink back into old habits?
• When do you default back into old patterns?
• What are you doing differently?
• Who are you when no one is watching?

The gap between who we say we are becoming, and who we consistently show ourselves to be reveals what is changing, and what needs to be changed.

• What’s hiding itself from you?
• Are any old wounds calling you IN?
• Where is the power imbalance?
• What outgrown attachments haven’t you released?
• What’s rising to be seen?
• Where is the focus of your attention flowing?
• What uplifts and/or drains your energy?
• Where do you feel pulled and/or held back?

Look at what is presenting into your awareness …

SEE it – SIT with it – and LET it unfold

We don’t need to react to everything we feel, but don’t ignore it because this is how we transform raw emotion, trauma, and shadow into power, wisdom, and profound growth. The shadow doesn’t emerge to be judged, but to be integrated into the light of consciousness, so we can adjust and align our truth.

For me, during last months NEW MOON I was being challenged to see beyond the projections, to look deeper within my SELF. Declaring who I am, why I’ve grown, what’s mine, and what no longer aligns. Those declarations were determining my direction because I was deciding who I intend to BE.

NOW the system is responding, not based on my wants, wishes or beliefs, but on what I’ve done since then.

• Reinforced my boundaries to honour my truth
• Took accountability for my mistakes
• Felt more compassion for the struggle
• Asked for more support with my writing
• Stayed open to receive the blessings

Last night I felt the familiar twinge in my uterus, of an egg being released, but I may not bleed because my cycles are changing. As I transition from mother to crone, I feel blessed to step into this next stage of my life, and recent news about becoming a grandmother is going to be life changing.

This morning I woke from a dream that felt significant, and they say to pay attention to our dreams (3) days before a FULL MOON because the subconscious prepares for the peak.

“Dreaming of a spiral family tree of words suggests a powerful, unfolding journey involving your roots, language, and personal evolution. Spirals in dreams often represent archetypal paths of transformation, growth, and psychological or spiritual journeys. Combining this with a family tree and words suggests a dynamic, interconnected, and evolving view of your heritage.”

Blessed BE 🌀✨️
