Choose Abundance - Full Moon in Capricorn
The Full Moon today is activated in the sign of Capricorn. (Moon and Ten of Pentacles). Saturn is hanging out within one degree of the Full Moon, making is particularly grounded and practical in our revelations. The sign ruled by Saturn, the archetypal father, taskmaster, maturing through challenge and responsibility. This moon being in it’s own sign is right at home and perhaps best suited for all types of ventures that prioritize getting down to business. You can have revelations about strategy or things needed in your life to implement more security and foundation for your goals and aspirations.
A by product of the Moon - Saturn conjunction happening is the feeling that your emotions or self-expression are being blocked. While the Moon represents out inner lives and emotional nature, Saturn sitting on top of it, although giving insight on what needs to be done, can feel a bit intense its pressure. Saturn being the archetype of karma, this can bring up feelings from childhood around our dreams, aspirations as well as the scolding discipline that may have been familiar at times. As the proverbial “establishment” Saturn rules all things organized from religion, government, educational curricula, etc. Most of where we have learned to act or be has been bred in these structures, perhaps at many times forcing us to ignore or compromise our more emotional and intuitive pulls. A part of our brains that strives to survive, we are jolted into compromise in order to fit and earn means to get by in our economy. With aspects between the Sun, Pluto and Saturn, themes related to our individual power and revealing how these dynamics play out will become more obvious. In the realm of Capricorn, work and the economy in which we are subjected to, where is power being abused? Where have we been suppressed? Are there dreams or ambitions or abilities you have felt an innate drive towards but may have been discouraged by a parental figure our an aspect of authority in our system? Pluto here is aiding any changes or transformations invited from these insights.
As our totem for today, the Spider has shown up. She is is weaver of systems, magic and language through innate creativity. We can relate this to an individual with a vision, using the archetypes of Capricorn to create it’s web. Upon reviewing our relationship to this archetype it is obvious in many ways that the ways in which we have exercised this part of our psyche has trapped us in a perpetual state of oppression and compromise. Living in the Western system of compromise has been the equivalent of living without a sense of personal freedom. Contemplate your own relationship to power and your perspective to those around you. With our recent shift into Mars retrograde (see two posts back) the themes of reviewing how our drive and energy is being channeled now will last us for the next two months. Where are you feeling repressed and that a change is needed? If you could do anything you wanted to during your life time, what would it be, and what is currently stopping you from feeling empowered to do so?
Happy Full Moon y’all!
