Capricorn Full Moon - Reality Check to Realign With Your True Self

The Capricorn Full Moon signals a make-it-or-break-it moment of truth, a reality check on how you’ve been investing your life force and where you are in or out of alignment.
Ruled by Saturn in Aries - the sign of identity, desire and core vitality - this Full Moon asks: Are you committed to who you really are and what you really want? What have you invested in that’s out of alignment with your true self? Where are you limiting your potential based on old, outgrown concepts of who you are and what you’re capable of?
If less-than-optimal results of past actions come to light, it can be tempting to default into shadow Capricorn: judgment, criticism, harshness and depression. Instead, a more productive response would be to lean into the Pisces North Node - acceptance, forgiveness, compassion, unconditional love, and seeing the bigger picture.
The Full Moon is not only ruled by Saturn, it also squares the Saturn-Neptune midpoint, reactivating the conjunction that occurred February 20. That conjunction was a seed-planting for a new 35-year cycle of bringing your dreams into reality.
What has manifested for you over the past four months since that conjunction? Are the results coming to light aligned with your big dreams and divine mission? If not, the Full Moon brings an opportunity for course correction, giving clear feedback as to what’s working or not, what needs to change, and where you might just need to let go.
Coinciding with three significant planetary shifts, this Full Moon marks a massive turning point, and amplifies the already off-the-charts energies of the rare outer-planet alignment that peaks in July.
Leading up to the Full Moon, action planet Mars moves into Gemini (June 28), and will conjoin with Uranus in Gemini on July 3-4. Expect the unexpected! Mars-Uranus catalyzes sudden change, throwing curveballs into your plans and asking you to trust and surrender to the mysterious flow of Life.
This potentially volatile and electrifying combination can bring flashes of brilliance, breakthrough conversations, bold decisions, and dramatic shifts (even reversals) in perspective. Restlessness and mental anxiety are possible, along with the possibility to break free from unproductive thought patterns and take inspired action on innovative ideas.
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, will turn retrograde just before the Full Moon on June 29, and remains retro until July 23. While Mars-Uranus quickens the pace and catalyzes a quantum leap into the future, Mercury retro represents a slow-down, turning attention to the past and calling for deep reflection.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer highlights home and family as arenas for Mars-Uranus reversals and revelations. There’s an opportunity to break free from mental conditioning inherited from parents and ancestors, and to get a new, healing perspective on the past. Misunderstandings and miscommunications that trigger emotional reactivity and defensiveness are possible - slow down to listen deeply, and speak with sensitivity and an open heart.
But wait, there’s more! Just after the Full Moon, Jupiter - planet of opportunity, expansion and abundance - will move from Cancer to Leo. Jupiter’s entry into Leo, for the first time in 12 years, amplifies the frequency of LOVE and brings a boost of optimism and creative fire.
As the rare outer-planet alignment comes to culmination over the next month, activating epic collective change, Jupiter in Leo reminds you of your creative power as an individual. Jupiter in Leo inspires the courage to shine your light in a bigger way, lead from the heart, and embody in present time your highest vision of the future.
