July 21, 2024: Full Moon at Capricorn 29°08’, 6:17 am EDT.
The days leading up to this Full Moon have been intense. First, a conjunction of Mars and Uranus – always unpredictable and potentially violent - exact on July 15. At the Full Moon opposition, Pluto - symbol of death and transformation – will align with the Moon. The energy accompanying this alignment is a harbinger of times to come: Pluto will transit Capricorn 29° (the degree of this Full Moon) from September 1 to November 19. The 29th degree of every sign is notable for its intensity - one last hurrah of everything related to the sign, especially it’s shadow. November 19 will mark the completion of Pluto’s transit of Capricorn and Pluto’s 20-year transit of Aquarius will begin in earnest.
Eris, Goddess of Strife and Discord, is stationary and conjunct to Chiron, the Wounded Healer. Eris is an expression of the rageful feminine, angry at the long-existing cultural oppression of yin energy. The Full Moon opposition will form a T-square with Eris conjunct Chiron. Under the chaos of current events lies a process of healing that is difficult to perceive. When one is in the throes of deep transformation it is not possible to see the whole picture.
Lastly, this Full Moon marks the beginning of the Saturn/Jupiter square which will remain in effect for the next year. This is a tug-of-war between that which expands and that which contracts, making it hard to see which is which.
Full Moons describe a crescendo of energy which begins to fade in the days that follow. The existing sense of intensity, however, will not fade. We stand at the portal of a New Age, bound by systems, attitudes and behaviors that have more to do with the past than the future. We cannot help this, and we can see it for what it is. Now, more than ever, envision the world you want to live in. Be specific and dream hard.
