The Full Moon falls at 29º Capricorn, 6:17 AM ET on July 21st. This is the second of two illuminating and intense full moons in Capricorn this summer. When we have two full moons within a zodical month we often refer to this as a “blue moon”. This term originated with amateur astronomer James Hugh Pruett in the year 1946 as it is often highlighted by the moon’s blueish appearance in the heavenly skies above.
The Sabian symbol for this degree is a secret meeting of men responsible for world affairs. The Australian astrologer Lynda Hill writes of this degree:
“This Symbol shows the ability to, or the need for, being able to meet with others in order to lay out plans; to have “Secret” meetings of people, people that are often VIP’s in some way or, at least, in charge of decisions or governments or empires. The “Directors” meet, they conference or just conference call, they exchange views, ideas, gossip. There may be decisions to be made or plans to be laid out. Do you make all your decisions on your own, or do you need help? You can often call on the relevant knowledgeable friends or authorities, as you’re bound to know them or how to meet them, and you’ll iron out the details. Sometimes, however, you may feel shut out by those “in charge”.
Masterly control. Sharing innermost secrets. Confidential information. Big guys. Calling the shots. Governments and secret spies. Strategies. Having a say. Councils. Doors.
The Caution: Excluding those affected by decisions. Exploiting people or situations. Being kept in the dark. Gossip. Loose lips. Refusal of entry. The glamour of big business.”
Capricorn is an initiating cardinal sign ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn is the ruler of time, patience, delays, and developing discipline around our boundaries and responsibilities. Capricorn energy demands restraint in lieu of instant gratification. Its energy is responsible, motivated by its obligations and achievements. It’s the energy of perseverance and resilience. Capricorn is represented by the mountain goat. The mountain goat is always climbing higher and higher toward its goal so Capricorn energy is ambitious and steadfast. Capricorn energy is all about making little improvement over a long period of time. Capricorn also rules the elders of our communities such as grandparents.
Full moons our times where two polarities are at play. With the sun in Cancer - the sign of family, the home, and our emotional world- we are in at impasse with the Capricorn moon which pulls us towards restraint, boundaries, and discipline. It is no wonder topics surrounding women’s bodies and their rights to family are being pulled into focus as well as themes around family inheritance, generational traumas, and the housing crisis in America and many other places around the world.
Saturn is now in its retrograde at this time. This means it’s taking an inward focus in our lives. It’s a period of re-evaluation towards our commitments and time. The conflict between the sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn points towards finding balance between our domestic life and our work related responsibilities. Full moons can be beautiful times for rest. So don’t be afraid to let your body feel soothed in the caverns of your own home.
The last time Saturn was in retrograde was between June 17, 2023, and November 4, 2023. You may want to go back and see what themes were coming up for you at that time. Retrogrades are times of doing inner work- the work most of us neglect.
Saturn rules foods that tend to be bitter, dark colored and often pungent in smell like kimchi, pickled foods, sesame seeds, lentils, and root vegetables. These may be some low spoon ways to incorporate the energy of this lunation.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 0º to 5º or 25º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
This full moon is bringing a culmination in terms of your career, public reputation, and within the relationship you have with authority figures. This is a wonderful time for job seekers to put in resumes or to be recognized and rewarded for your hard work over the last few months.
You may be realizing the role you play within the power dynamics at hand. Remember always: respect starts with boundaries. This may be a lesson that you have been learning over the last year as you become more firm in the person you are evolving into. It’s okay to rock the boat if you feel taken advantage of and it’s more than fair to ask for compensation!
Individuation can be uncomfortable, but it is a necessary step on the path to self-respect and taking authority over your life. It may be good during this time to reflect on the mountains you’ve managed to move on your journey and the muscle you’ve built in terms of your overall legacy. Now is the time to shine, shine, shine.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
This full moon highlights your ability to grow, learn, to develop from cultures outside of your own, and your own personal philosophy or ethos towards the world around you. In evolutionary astrology, this area of life also relates to the idea of natural law- that we exist within an info structure, where we are equal to all sentient beings, whether that it is a plant, a pet, a wild animal, or our physical body.
You may be getting the feeling that your own personal dharma is unfolding as we speak. This is a wonderful time for any spiritual practices or to be favored legally by the powers that be.
Your personal philosophy and ethos may be changing and with that comes the notion of your personal power and the role you play within the world around you. Sometimes we judge things with the information we have been given. But integrity develops when new information may be given and our willingness to integrate it and be humbled by it. This is a good time to look at an old argument or ideology through a new lens and to quite literally put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
This could also be a beautiful time for planning overseas journeys or taking on a wider or more bird’s eye perspective on how your actions affect the greater world around you.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
This lunation brings a culmination in terms of shared resources, debts, transformations, and your own personal psychology and fears. Full moons can bring our werewolf moments. You may be asked to tune into your emotional landscape and to reveal light on the more hidden parts of your psyche at this time.
As you are becoming more aware of your motivations, take stock of the foundations that create the structure of your reality. This is a good time to create goals around paying off any debts whether they are financial or personal or to air out difficult conversations in regard to shared resources or power struggles you may be experiencing. If shared responsibilities have been too burdensome, this full moon encourages hard conversations around these topics.
Cancer & cancer Rising
This full moon is bringing a culmination in terms of your commitments and one on one relationships. Since 2008 you have gone through powerful transformations in regards to your responsibilities and the relationships in your life. This is a final culmination in terms of what you have been trying to grow through your hard work and your ability to transform through your relationships. Relationships are mirrors. Who do you see staring back at you and how have others help you become fully embodied in this image?
This is a wonderful time to reach a completion in terms of a large scale project and to clean house. Which relationships in your life make you feel respected? How can you communicate these emotions with gratitude and share your appreciation? Who has been helping you move the mountains you’re here to traverse? These relationships are the cornerstone of your success so celebrate this full moon every milestone is best honored with our ride or dies.
As commitments and contract culminate, a new chapter begins in your journey to reinvigorate your finances and overall debts. Magic is powerful under this lunation. Don’t be afraid to tap into what you can learn from the mystical people in your life who can help empower your future successes!
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
The cosmic skies are shedding light on your daily routines, overall health and well being, service to others, as well as the arguments or daily wars we all face.
Accountability is a theme of this lunation. You may be asked to take responsibility for things that have occurred in the past. It’s also possible it’s a time of seeing where our loose boundaries have gotten us and to take stock of changes necessary for your sustainability.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
This lunation brings focus towards your entrepreneurial efforts, self expression, creative projects, children, pleasure, love, and sex. Your voice is powerful at this time and the way that you choose to express yourself. So don’t be afraid to hold back.
This can be a good time for celebration or returning to something creative that fires you up. For those of you who own your own business, we can see some incredible results in terms of the hard work we have put into creating our personal brand. Let your colors fly this month and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there! Returning to play is important. It can’t all be hard work, after all!
Libra & Libra Rising
The celestial skies are bringing a culmination in terms of home, family, and our emotional landscape. Over the last decade and a half you have gone through tremendous regeneration in terms of your family or the home environment. You have been forced to traverse obstacles that allowed you to grow into into your own person. This is a great time to take stock of all the beautiful memories you have made that will spring you into forward movements in terms the of roots you are now creating.
Full moons tend to bring our werewolf moments. As you begin to work through triggers, you may be exposed to seeing the past through a new light. What is sustainable for you right now? Your energy is best served at this time taking stock of the milestones you’ve already hit as you make plans for the future.
It’s also possible that at this time the transformations in home and family occurring now are allowing you the ground work to lay the very foundations of the life that you’ve always wanted. Take time to remind yourself of how far you’ve climbed up the mountain and the many blessings in your life yet to come.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
This full moon brings attention to the way you communicate, siblings, neighbors, friends, short trips, or vehicles.
The shifts that you have been going through over the last decade and a half has been mental. Releasing addictions looks different for each person. Process addictions can look like workaholism, ruminating thoughts, caffeine, binges, and social media. We tend to give these less notice as often they don’t feel as severe as more overt addictions. You may have had to become aware of these themes over the last few years and now we have reached a final culmination in terms of what our minds have been attached to.
Freedom comes from learning our own personal power and how we can use our mind and our voice to create tremendous change in the world around us. How has your voice changed over the last year? What friends leave you feel empowered vs. powerless? Rejoice in the light of the moon and celebrate the people who have held your hand through the darkness. For you both are the light that shines!
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
This lunation marks a culmination in terms of your finances and overall energy levels. The second house also rules the teeth for some this can feel like getting your braces off to show that brilliant smile underneath you worked hard to obtain!
Another avenue the second house rules is our diet. You may be encouraged to try a new way of consuming food that is more richly based in giving you the energy this sustain your financial goals. Adding foods that Saturn rules could be very beneficial. Saturn often rules the foods that don’t particularly smell too great and can often be seen as pungent. Adding pickled foods or kimchi can be a lovely low spoon dedication to Saturn’s energy. Plus! They help with gut health which in turn, makes you feel physically better.
You may have had a financial goal that is being realized at this time. Bask in your hard work and shine your beautiful light into the world as you begin to inspire other people through your own personal transformations.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
You are the main character with this lunation! Who you are in the outside world is fundamentally changing, but there can be inward focus at this time as well.
Boundaries are always fashionable as well as a necessary practice in your own evolution. With the energy heating up, you might not have the energy to take on certain commitments in your life so it’s a great time to reevaluate what you are committed to in the short term to reach long term satisfaction.
Your entrepreneurial efforts may have changed. This is an excellent time to put your offerings out into the world or to send in a résumé for a job that allows you to truly shine.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
This full moon highlights your mental health and the subconscious habits that rule your life. You may feel you need more rest during this time or to recoup for just a little bit. Don’t feel guilty about setting boundaries around commitments at this time as your body requires temporary pauses to meet long term goals.
If you’re struggling with the summer, melancholy blues, try revisiting old classics that remind you life is worth living. This can be an album that feels like an old friend or a song that reminds you of your purpose. Take time to rest your bones as life will be speeding up again very shortly for you alternative kings, queens, and/or monarchs!
Pisces & Pisces Rising
This lunation anchors you towards your friendships, community spaces, and how you connect with others. If you work in social media, this can be a wonderful time for a rebrand or to re-structure your overall vision in the world.
Coming together with other people to celebrate your accomplishments can be very beneficial at this time. Find the people that lift you up and support your greater vision of the world you wish to see built upon your shoulders.
If you are feeling low, this is a time that reminds you that friends and community want to support you wholeheartedly. Don’t be afraid to reach out for some extra support if you need it. That’s what friends are for.

AstroStyle Book Pre-Order
What is the AstroStyle Book?
The intersection of astrology and life on Earth is as simple as living and breathing for me. I see the stars in the way I move and the things I create. The constellations drawn across the very fabric of the clothes I wear. I adorn myself in their brilliant light and wear them with pride. I use astrology in mundane life, finding ways to make meaning of their luminescence in the everyday. I blend lifelong passions and work with astrology to create a seamless integration, furthering my connection with the cosmic energy that extends far beyond us. As above, so below.
I have spent many years styling and working in the industry to see the connections come to life in real time. It is a combination of over a decade of work, where the idea is to make the abstract more tangible. Consider AstroStyle your own personal styling experience that has been written in the stars.
AstroStyle will get you thinking about fashion and personal style "from above" by revealing how your Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars signs can serve as the foundation for building a look that’s uniquely your own.
