Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world

July 3rd at 9:39pm AEST brings the Full Moon in the Earth sign of Capricorn at 11 degrees

The Sun has spent a week in the water sign of Cancer and when the Moon reaches 11 Degrees we see our Full moon bring in the polarity of the Capricorn Energy.

While the Sun in Cancer is shining it’s light on the area of home and family, Capricorn speaks more to our purpose, goals and ambition out in the world

As the full moon illuminates the things that have come to fruition, the seeds and intentions set during last months New Moon, This is a great time to let go of the need for approval and any self doubt creeping in that is stopping you from taking the required action towards your goals.

Maybe it is time to redefine what success means to you?

Balance the ambitious, hardworking energy with the soft, nurturing energy of the Sun in Cancer. How is the balance between your home life and your professional life?

Capricorn is encouraging your to consider your responsibilities, your goals and ambitions while making sure you leave time to rest, nurture your inner world so you can thrive in the outer world. It’s time to be the grown up in your story and balance your commitments to both.

The 18th July at 4:32am see the Sun and Moon join hands with the New Moon in the water sign of Cancer

This is an internal energy, a time where the sky is dark and it calls us to go inwards and reflect on our emotional body.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon so this is always a potent energy, where the moon feels at home

As a water sign, Cancer feels things very deeply and can hold a memory of feelings in the physical body too. Think about how you feel in your own body, do you feel safe? Loved? Strong?

Cancer also rules the area of family, home, our roots and our ancestors. Do you feel a sense of belonging in this world?

This New Moon is opposite the planet Pluto and so may add some extra intensity to your emotional realm during this cycle. Pluto brings energy of transformation and depth. This is a strong energy so be gentle with yourself if your emotions feel heightened at this time

Go slow With all this water comes the wisdom of our ancestors and the generations that came before

Take some time to be still and quiet, nurture your own emotions and allow them to flow through and out of your body. This is not the time to hold things in!
