Capricorn Full Moon: Coming Home to Ourselves

The second Capricorn Full Moon of the summer is on July 21st, 2024 at 1016 UT/ 0316 PST.

This Full Moon will be like hitting the reverse, so we can revisit what came up during the first Capricorn Full Moon regarding:

• home
• comfort
• the mother
• love and attachment
• feelings
• achievements and goals
• boundaries
• money
• limitations and beliefs
• outdated structures and societal expectations
• traditionalism

..All with new information so we can truly take our power back.

The first Full Moon began our revelations as we started to notice that something is missing, and we didn't truly understand why. Whether through relationships, family, friends, or the community, it is a human need to experience unconditional love. To love and be loved. Cancer desires closeness to another, which requires vulnerability, self-acceptance and attachment. Capricorn struggles with this expression, and will go so far as to avoid feelings al-together by overworking and pursuing the material, while focusing on traditionalism or creating impossibly high standards for themselves and others.

Consciously (and unconsciously) we have been experiencing our personal attachment styles and the role they play in our relationship dynamics. Naturally, if we feel safe in our connections, we are able to be vulnerable with our feelings and our desire to connect, while balancing any personal tendencies to allow emotions to take over the show. If we feel unsafe, we likely shut down, run away, or cling, essentially experiencing our anxious/avoidant tendencies and nervous system response despite what we desire. It is integral to note that this information is stored in the body and is a visceral response of our unhealed nervous system, and unfortunately, societal fears fuel the flame. This pattern is one that many of us face currently, and become stuck in, struggling to switch gears as it is a direct result of what we have had to do to survive and create a sense of emotional regulation. The purpose of this pattern was to protect us, but it walls our hearts from connection, truly experiencing a the depths of a relationship with our inner selves and what we would like to have with others.

Knowingly or not, most of us have been experiencing the side effects of this energetic purge with an inexplainable moodiness. We just hadn't been able to quite pin point what we are feeling, or why.

The New Moon started to bridge this gap. We know we desire true connection and are becoming more honest with ourselves about what that is. How this looks to us may differ from societal standards, familial conditioning, or our previous views of success. We are learning about how we want to feel, and are being pushed to cultivate it within, which means we have to show up, be tender and vulnerable with ourselves. We have to come home to ourselves, being honest about how we are feeling. We have to have self-compassion, love and acceptance, and be willing to whole-heartedly attach to our truest self rather than avoid it. We likely have been confronted with MANY things that we do not want to see, acknowledge, or accept because it challenges our sense of self and the version we created to fit in. We may have seen fear that we have been holding in our systems, and are being encouraged to take action to let it go. Many of us are seeing that we don't truly know who we are on an individual level, and are being forced into introspection so we can truly individuate. So many of these patterns and behaviors have been ongoing from the wounded inner child, asking us to pay attention to them and heal at this foundational level. So many of us have been feeling like we have no control in external love right now, but in actuality, it is largely related to our genuine ability to love ourselves.

This second Full Moon, we are seeing the fullest extent of these issues, how it connects of our sense of power, control, belonging, and authenticity, and includes the need to break away from old systems as they have been playing a direct role into the barriers of our manifestations, relationships, feelings and the ability to truly connect.

Unknowingly, we have been shutting down change to create these desires based on our feelings/relationship to power, control, and normalcy - consciously and unconsciously. And it is highly likely that although we desire to feel comfortable and at home within ourselves and society, to love and be loved, and to create a life we can be proud of, these are highly individualized and cannot be compared to another's path. So often we want our relationships and life's work to appear a certain way so we can fit in and feel successful, yet our most authentic connections and soul path will march at their own beat. Perhaps what is for us will not align with what we thought we always knew. Or maybe it simply doesn't match with the vision we inherited, so we shut it down. This is LARGELY due to fear that may or may not be ours to keep, and discovering our own sense of self.

When we feel unsafe, we shut down. And what feels the most unsafe? Something new, something different that doesn't fit in. Sometimes, that something is us. But in this shut down, we guard ourselves and block the blessings and manifestations that we are waiting for. This full moon we are shown that these fears are still heavily rooted within us, calling to be released. We need to realize the fear we hold, accept it, release it, and begin to heal. We must acknowledge that our nervous system holds a universe of information that reacts before our conscious selves, this is part of being human. This fear we house creates so much of how we feel, and causes us to shut down or run away to create safety. It is invaluable to learn to create safety within our bodies. This will require deep self-reflection and awareness to access and transmute, because so often, we are overrode by our nervous system and our ego. This is not inherently bad, it is valid, human and okay. Yet, it is time to start stepping past the fear and start showing up.

We have the opportunity to move forward, but first we have to feel our feelings genuinely witness ourselves. We have to whole-heartedly accept where we are with unconditional love AND step through this portal of change. Even when we are fearful and scared. As we transition into Leo season, we are coming home to who we are as the self, and as we do, we will find where we belong.
