This Sunday, July 21st, at 6:17 a.m. Eastern, we’ll experience a Full Moon in Capricorn.🌝♑ This is the second Full Moon in Capricorn this year, offering us a rare second chance to set intentions and align with our true desires. Think of it as a nudge from the universe to put things in motion thoughtfully rather than making rash decisions.
What’s a Full Moon? Exploring the Phenomenon of Two Capricorn Full Moons Back-to-Back
A full moon happens when the moon is fully illuminated by the sun. It’s a time brimming with clarity and insight when we can see our lives differently. Think of it like having a spotlight shine on everything you’ve been avoiding. Have you been feeling this Full Moon energy?
Two Capricorn full moons back-to-back? It’s like the sequel to a blockbuster movie I didn’t know about until now. Last month’s moon had me channeling my inner mountain goat—climbing, pushing, and tackling challenges head-on. I set some boundaries, focused on my goals, and got more done than I thought was possible.💥
This second full moon is bringing a new level of insight. I realize that it’s not only about reaching the summit; it’s about enjoying the journey and the view along the way. This time, I’m balancing my ambition with self-care. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to schedule rest, breathe, and appreciate how far I’ve come.
The Power of Off Hours and Embracing “No”
Here’s a little peek behind the curtain: I’ve started experimenting with setting “off hours” where I unplug from work and focus on activities that energize me. Not only am I meditating more regularly and feeling refreshed, but I’m also more productive and creative when I return to my tasks. I’ve also embraced the power of saying “no” without guilt. Instead of spreading myself too thin, I’m now prioritizing projects and commitments that resonate with me.
My story inspired today’s journal prompts. Pick which one to answer.
- What activities have you tried during your “off hours” that help you recharge?
- Think of a situation where you said “no” and chose you. How did this decision play into doing something meaningful to you?
Balancing Ambition and Home
Capricorn energy pushes us to achieve and reach our goals. However, it can also cause us to focus too much on work, causing a blind spot in our personal lives. This full moon is opposite the Sun in Cancer, showing us the need to balance our work and home lives. You may be feeling like you are on a seesaw between work and home, wanting to achieve great things and also needing to reconnect with your roots.
All of this makes this full moon an excellent time to:
- Celebrate your wins: Take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come. Seriously, you deserve a pat on the back!
- Let go of what’s holding you back: Release fears, doubts, and bad habits. Declutter (or Marie Kondo) your mind.
- Set new goals: Focus on what you want to bring into your life, especially striking that balance between your work and personal life.
Life is tough, and we all deserve some grace and love. As we try to balance all our roles, let this full moon remind us that we can achieve our goals while staying true to ourselves.
Ever Upward!
