Full Moon In Capricorn on July 21 at 6:17 am EDT

Mysterious and captivating Full Moon lunations have always enthralled Mankind. With their snowy white disks illuminating the night sky, they shed a dreamy sensation across the land, dancing in and out among the clouds. This Full Moon is called Buck Moon, indicating the time of year when the male deer (buck) begins to grow his new antlers for the coming year. As the buck ages, the regrowing antlers become bigger and stronger through the years.

 

This lunation which occurs at 29o Capricorn on July 21, 2024, at 6:17 am EDT is in its detriment and conjuncts a retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto will enter Capricorn on September 2 before going direct on October 11th. This could be a time of much turmoil in all governmental structures. This lunation could also affect The United States as it is directly opposing the US’s natal Moon at 25o Taurus This lunation also trines the fixed star Algol, known in ancient times as the harbinger of either a death of a leader/King or war. What is of concern with this lunation as a harbinger of great turmoil, Uranus is transiting Taurus and is conjunct Mars and the two conjunct Algol. The last time Uranus conjuncted Algol was in 1939, when World War II erupted.

 The Cancer/Capricorn axis is all about the demands of private life juxtaposing the public life and the tension arising from trying to accommodate both needs.  While Cancer prompts us to attend to the needs of home and family, Capricorn on the other hand demands attention to career/work and our position in the community. Many of us feel we are on a seesaw, going up and down emotionally trying to meet these opposing demands. During this lunation the astrological lesson is to find the fulcrum, the middle point and learn to address both ends of the axis in equal measure.

As cited above, this lunation connects to Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Pluto, emotions run high and could have long-term consequences. If we center ourselves and approach the events from a higher viewpoint, we will come out the better for the pressure put upon us, during this time. “No pressure, no diamonds.”

During this lunation, take time to quietly reflect upon your deepest wants and desires and see if your current life path is heading in that direction. If not, then take the time to seriously meditate on what is needed to make that happen. Remember “ask and it is given,” asks genuinely and sincerely knowing that the Universe is pliant and always willing to answer.
