Full Moon at 27° Capricorn ~ expect the unexpected

This full moon occurs at 3 minutes to midnight (almost the title of an Iron Maiden song!) and so in many ways it will be more in effect on Wednesday 20^th July that on the Tuesday. Full moon energy always feels like a build up, crushendo of intensity which slowly dissipates after the point of exactness. Much like a tornado, we cannot gauge the 'damage', or full impact until after this point we can only try to hold onto what is most important to us and make sure that at least is safe.

Of course when we're dealing with the realm of the Moon; the ruler of our tides, gatekeeper of our emotions, it is not the physical world that we're usually referring to. On this occasion however, there does need to be an acknowledgement of the more solid and structural elements of life, as we are dealing with the sign of Capricorn which is almost entirely encompassed by such concerns. I should note, we all have Capricorn in our chart, and we all have the ruler of Capricorn; Saturn in a position which illustrates where in our lives we are most concerned with structure, predictability and assuaging fear of change. Saturn (Kronos in the Greek derivation) rules time and knows that if we put consistent and determined effort into something then eventually we will create something successful.

The Moon doesn't excel in Capricorn; the very nature being of an opposite disposition. However, as with the balance of nature, the Moon needs the structure of Capricorn at times. Together, whilst they vibrate at a different frequency, one could not exist without the other.

This full moon will bring up an emotional surge which may make us quite uncomfortable. Feelings will be brought to the surface, as with every full moon but in this case it will be about things we wish to keep either hidden or controlled.

With there being a strong square to the Ascendant-Uranus of this full moon chart, you can be sure that anything that you really do want to hide in your life, is very likely to be revealed. Uranus is the planet of change and chaos, he has no time for secrets and no mood for games. If it scares you it's even more valid than that which doesn't. Be careful what you wish for and that which you don't!

For those who follow politics this could be an interesting week, as obviously it is notoriously difficult to glean clear, concise information on a subject which is so swayed by the media channels. Revelations could slip out this week and as always the smallest changes often have the biggest long-term impacts.

There is an appeasing nature to this full moon chart also, Mercury is linked up with Venus in Leo, showing that there is great opportunity for appeasing conversations. Leo is known more for its charm and charisma than it's depths and as this conjunction links in to the ongoing and problematic Saturn-Neptune square (see previous article) any attempt at covert, cover-ups could cause conflicts and complicated associations. It's probably best to use the creativity of this conjunction to enjoy the arts, rather than trying to deal with any issues which may have come up during recent weeks.

The Mars sextile to the full moon from the house of partnerships reminds us that “actions speak louder than words” and sometimes an adventure, or a fun night out is the most the uplifting choice we can make.

It will be an interesting week and for me personally this full Moon falls exactly on my Venus, so I'm very aware that expecting the unexpected is the only way to approach the coming days.

My rates are reasonable and negotiable, as all good things in life should be.
