Lunar Reflections

The full moon in Capricorn is back for a second consecutive month! July’s lunation follows the first Capricorn full moon that occurred on June 22. Reflect on what was happening for you back then, because now this lunation brings it all to fruition. For those who were aiming high, setting intentions, or working on manifesting big dreams last month, or even on the new moon two weeks prior, July offers a successful final chapter.

Harvesting the Fruits of Your Labour

This full moon, governed by the tenacious Goat, rewards hard work, perseverance, and ambition. If you’ve been diligently working towards your goals, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, is known as the planetary teacher, and it rewards consistent effort and dedication. If you’ve put in the work, expect to see some results; consider it your celestial A+ for persistence.

29 degrees Capricorn: The Anaretic Degree

As this full moon illuminates 29 degrees Capricorn, your focused attention, sweat, and dedication are about to come together. This is the climax of a journey, a moment to see how far you’ve come and to celebrate your achievements. This final degree, called the anaretic degree in astrology, often symbolises the end, a culmination, a lesson learned, and a clean slate.

Trusting the Cosmic Cycles

But what if you haven’t put in the hard yards? Perhaps self-doubt has held you back, or the timing didn’t feel quite right despite your horoscope telling you to “go for it!” Don’t worry; the cosmos operates in cycles. Saturn’s influence teaches us about the value of long-term commitment and the importance of patience. If you’re not quite there yet, this reminds you that your time will come. Keep your eye on the prize, and don’t give up. The teacher planet Saturn rewards hard work; dishing out punishment isn’t Saturn’s style. For you, this lunation is about learning, persistence and shrewd preparation for when your opportunity circles back.

Mars in Gemini: Confident Conversations

Additionally, Mars enters Gemini on the day of this full moon, adding a layer of dynamism to the mix. Mars in Gemini emphasises the importance of communication and networking. Whether you’ve achieved your goal or are still on the journey, now is the time to connect with the right people. Conversations, collaborations, and shared ideas are where the magic lies; they can propel you forward now. This is also the time to go for the hard sell. Put yourself forward, plug your ideas, and showcase your strengths. The assertive energy of Mars in Gemini supports you in promoting yourself and your projects. Don’t be shy—take the opportunity to make your mark.

The Takeaway

So, what’s the takeaway? The full moon in Capricorn is a powerful reminder of the value of hard work and perseverance. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and stay committed to your path. This full moon’s planetary ruler, Saturn, has a way of rewarding those who keep striving, so keep going, and remember to reach out and connect—your breakthrough might be just one conversation away.
