Capricorn Full Moon Tarot Spread

Our Full Moon at 8° Capricorn arrives on Monday, June 29, at 4:56pm PT.

All Full Moons are directly opposite the Sun, and in this case the sign of Cancer is particularly highlighted. At the time of this lunation, Jupiter is at the very last fraction of Cancer, just spending 6 more hours there until he moves into Leo for a year. Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer just about 6 hours before this Full Moon. There is something in this watery Cancer dance that I feel is reminding us to search our emotional depths, our heart intuition, to inform the "great work" that we are illuminating with the Capricorn Moon.

The ruler of this lunation is Saturn in Aries, squaring off this lunation with the authority of the Emperor Tarot card.

It's an interesting scene I am looking at in the sky wheel. Moon in Capricorn says "commitment, mastery, great work". Saturn in Aries says "lead, be decisive, stand in your authority". Mars freshly into Gemini says "Your words are weapons, and I am ready for a battle of wits!". It all feels very patriarchical. But quietly in the background, underpinning everything is the watery Cancer energy, and Chiron freshly in Taurus...holding the feminine wisdom of leadership with love and with the land. I feel like this final conversation between Jupiter and Mercury in Cancer is a pact to remember our heart song as we move forward into air and fire times. Jupiter moves onto Leo to roar this song forward, and Mercury stays behind keeping our thoughts in deeper, meaningful waters.

This is why I look at the whole sky wheel when I make these spreads. Not just the math of aspects and elements, but the story. What conversations are these planets having while all of our attention is on that big beautiful Full Moon? An out of bounds Full Moon. Which means the sea goat has left the usual structures and traditions behind. She isn't playing by the usual Capricorn rules. She's in search of something different, something out of the ordinary, to build her legacy on.

I think we are being invited to lean into heart and earth wisdom, to consider the great work of healing, and embodied feminine wisdom. To dedicate ourselves to our path with heart, as the oncoming forces of air and fire, change, passion, and leadership fill the sails of our consciousness. Don't forget what you're fighting for. Don't forget what you're working for. And, by the Lady, don't be afraid to try something outlandish to get it done.

Our Tarot questions are:

* In my heart of hearts, what is the great work that I long to commit to?

* Where have I cut myself off from emotional well being in order to be productive?

* How can I harness the upcoming air and fire to build the legacy of my soul's work?

*How can I do so while honoring my own embodiment and the healing of the land?
