Capricorn-Cancer Full Moon - Security & Control
"If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird"
This week's Capricorn-Cancer Full Moon (2:38 PM PDT 24° Capricorn/Cancer) on Tuesday has the Moon 'carrying the light' from conjunctions with Saturn, the South Node, and Pluto, creating an extraordinary culmination to this powerful lunar cycle. The vital, growing force from the New Moon on July 2nd has been challenged by the Sun's oppositions, leading to the potential for power struggles. In essence we are closely examining the nature and appropriate uses of 'Power', both spiritual and material. The lesson to be learned is that we must first learn how to gain mastery over ourselves before we can hope to be successful in having a productive impact on the world around us. Under the retrograding Mercury in Leo, our will power is, in a sense, reduced to false bravado — bluff and bluster. By the end of the week, Mercury returns to Cancer and we become far more circumspect in our pronouncements. Nevertheless, the early part of the week has many of us reaching for some kind of "Mantle Of Power" in an effort to take control. But the truth is that we really only have power over ourselves. If we are able to successfully navigate this atmosphere, we will gain some true 'gems' of wisdom and insight regarding the true nature of power, influence, and mastery. One way or another, however, our emotions are likely to have us looking for some kind of cover.
The Moon is VOC during the early part of the day on Sunday, offering us little productive sense of direction. Emotions are closely held and tightly guarded on Monday, ahead of Tuesday's Capricorn-Cancer Full Moon . We may find ourselves running a gauntlet challenges and external power struggles on Tuesday. There's quite a bit of bluff and bluster on Wednesday to protect some especially sensitive egos. A Venus-Neptune trine on Thursday offers a temporary glow of sensitivity and compassion but we don't really find any sense of emotional safety until the Moon arrives in Pisces on Friday afternoon. Nonetheless, we should tread lightly as we begin to look for ways to mend fences and rebuild bridges of communication. By Saturday, a 'Neptunian Fog' rolls in, giving us some cover to either 'lick our wounds' or contemplate the inspiring 'gems' we have gathered from the week's intensity.
