The Aftermath

Phew! That Capricorn Full Moon was intense!

A few months back, when Mars Rx entered Scorpio through the “back door” I likened it to entering a cave where you must journey into the dark, face your demons and slay them before re-emerging from the cave.

Fight Off Your Demons by lieveaurelio

What I didn’t know then, but know now, is this:

Sometimes you face the demons and the fight isn’t over yet. Sometimes you think he’s dead behind you and you get a knife in the back as you are moving forward; sometimes smaller demons are clinging to the cave walls and you must face these foe before the cave is finished with you.

The Full Moon in Capricorn illuminated a spot on the path before us, “this right here, is where you could be, it’s what you should be moving toward one. step. at. a. time.

by Sarah mum of 3

The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, guiding us with a swift kick in the ass to lay down our suffering.

If the Capricorn Full Moon was a time of releasing, however painful it may have been, take comfort in knowing you are on the right path.

If this Capricorn Full Moon brought in energy that caused you pain, suffering, frustration or anger then know that there is something you are holding onto that the Universe is not so gently demanding you let go of. Now.

I suggest if you are still holding on to let go. No more fucking around. The next Full Moon will be a Lunar Eclipse.

Full Moon in Capricorn

The full moon is once again upon us, in all her brilliance. Here we have another opportunity to reach that place of luminescence. To shine a light upon what (and how) we’re manifesting and to take the chance to redirect ourselves, if needed. This month’s full moon is in the sign of Capricorn. This sign is all about rolling up your sleeves and getting down in it. Capricorn is known as the workhorse of the Zodiac. Heaven help the one who gets in the way of a Cappy’s ambition – these seagoats have some major drive. At this time you may feel a pressing need to finish up any projects that have been lingering around, incomplete. There may also be some conflicts as this sign can be, well, a liiittle bossy! 😉 With all this pressing energy competing with the Sun, which is still hanging out in the sign of home-body Cancer, I was very curious about what kind of message we would get from The Wild Unknown’s Animal Spirit deck. It ended up being as close to a goat as you can get in this deck. We got some horns:

GAZELLE

 

Heightened awareness & ability [Capricorn],
Vulnerable [Cancer]

The Gazelle represents supreme grace with every move, this awe-inspiring beauty emits sophistication and elegance. Gazelle personalities are often hyper-aware of their surroundings (bordering on hyper-vigilant), which can inhibit them from enjoying the beauty they’ve spent so much effort cultivating. No more worrying about all those predators out there in the wild, when this card appears it’s time to get back to the present moment. Sit down, find your breath, and acknowledge the bounty that surrounds you. Let it nourish your gentle spirit.

When in balance: graceful, perceptive, artistic

When out of balance: food allergies, insomnia, racing mind

To bring into balance: yin yoga, a cozy home, good food

This card perfectly encapsulates the Capricorn-Cancer axis that is being activated by this full moon. Capricorn wants to get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW. Cancer is ok with a cozy blanket and a good book at home. We can, however,  get trapped in either side of this polarity. Too much force and we burn out, not enough drive and we end up going nowhere. This is a reminder to us to gauge which one of these energies we need more of, and what we may need to tone down. Do we need more drive and ambition or do we need to slow down and enjoy the simple comforts of life? It may also have us feeling extra emotional about our accomplishments, or lack thereof. This is a great time to push past any blockages that are impeding our growth.

When the full moon is in a sign, we tend to take on more characteristics of that sign. This can be a great thing if we are able to be mindful of our use of these energies. The message here is one of moderation. Yes, we need to get things done, but we also need to rest and care for ourselves. Now is a time to be very cautious not to bite off more than we can chew. Some great questions to ask while the moon is in Capricorn: How can I be a leader while still being self-aware and mindful of those around me? Where am I over-exerting myself? Where could I use more drive?  What projects can I begin or complete without burning myself out?

Since this is an Earthy sign, grounding and meditation will be so very helpful during the moon’s stay in Capricorn. Really go deep to discover exactly what you need. And it doesn’t hurt to pray. ❤

Venus in Capricorn

Venus in Capricorn

Venus kept floating into my peripherals and I finally decided to turn and find out why…. Natally, I have Venus in Capricorn. Guess where Venus is transiting? Yup. Hello Seagoat! However, she is still early in this sign and my Venus is in the very last degree of Capricorn….

 

Anaretic Degree:

These planets will always have a special emphasis, and it will not always be negative. Instead it may be an “edgy” feeling, or a sense of transition; the word anaretic is associated with the idea of death. Rather than being negative, it’s a place in the chart that the querent keeps coming back to, whether seeking resolution or working out a persistent issue that calls for attention.

Venus is a fast mover though, and I will be having my Venus return right smack on my Ascendant in a little under 3 weeks…. This told me just about all I needed to know about why she kept tapping me on the shoulder! Let’s just say she has my full attention. Beyond my impending Venus return, she is also making an aspect to Neptune in Pisces (my Sun sign) tomorrow. I am very curious to see how this all plays out.

In the meantime, I want to share with you a beautiful Venusian Prayer by the lovely KT King.

The day she shared this was the climax of Venus trying to get my attention! It seemed she was literally everywhere I turned….

 

Venus Prayer

Great Benevolent Beings Of Light, I am your vessel here on Earth.

Through me, let the holy waters flow.

May I become a Grail Knight in which the Love of Venus walks the Earth.

May we come together in this holy place where the healing waters flow.

In balance and in harmony, my heart opens, as a Rose, to hold within its petals and its thorns, the boundless compassion of the Triple Goddess of Earth, Venus & Moon.

Together may we spread the everlasting Light far into the Universe and all be blessed by your unconditional Love.

 

A dear friend of mine also sent me the link to this podcast on the same day I saw KT’s prayer.

Venus Unplugged Llorraine Neithardt

Llorraine Neithardt is an internationally recognized Jungian-inspired cultural visionary in private practice for 29 years. In this series she speaks extemporaneously on the archetypal theme of VENUS, creating a virtual Heartbreak Hotel – a place where the wounded heart finds inspiration to accept the task of becoming a wise heart. “I have come to drag you out of your yourself and take you into my heart. I have come to bring out the beauty you never knew you had and lift you like a prayer to the sky.” Rumi

 

Though typically ethereal in nature, when Venus is in Capricorn she takes on a very practical vibe; she wants us to be realistic, responsible, and present:

There’s no wiggle room with this transit. The time for meandering and indulgence has passed. Capricorn demands focus, accountability, and maturity. Be responsible for Venus issues in your life. Get real about what you have and what you want. Who has authority over your relationships and resources? Who has the final say about what’s best for you? Obviously, the preferred answer is “you” but in many cases, you’ll discover that someone else is calling the shots. This transit is about facing such realities, and finding a way to get the ball back to your court… Venus in Capricorn is about loving the limits. When things don’t come easily, when you must use supreme focus and work within your existing reality, a fine-edged beauty emerges. All the nonessentials are cut out, and what’s left becomes precious.
