Monday morning’s Full Moon, taking place about 4:30 am PT, later morning for the east coast and

Moon configuration indicates that when we proceed to apply innovative approaches to our situation,

those stemming from ancient wounding that has calcified in place, patterns that could be more than a
trifle dysfunctional unless and until we stop giving away our power to them.

When we consider the sign that this Full Moon celebrates, namely Capricorn, this can represent many
things. Capricorn stands for hard work, rising to the occasion, achievement, and status — and yet there
is a higher octave regarding Capricorn as well, of acting in a manner that is consistent with your highest
aspirations for the society that surrounds you, and for yourself.

And this brings Eris into the picture, and Chiron too. The Feminine Warrior energy of Eris is all about
putting your best foot forward, as that concept arrives to you from consideration of your deepest soul
intention. What is it then, that you really want for yourself going forward? For that desire to be your
authentic wish for yourself, it must include the notion that the behavior you espouse, and the Self that
you would, in your best case scenario, become, turns out to be the version of yourself that would also
be of utmost benefit to the society that surrounds you. This is just the case; as natural law works itself
out in your actions, and in your very being, it satisfies you all the way down and supports your most
fundamental beliefs of the way that things in this world could best operate. In the Cancer-Capricorn
axis of this Full Moon, that means taking the personal (Cancer) and building out from there to the
personally political (Capricorn).

On a more down-to-earth level of enjoying and embracing this Full Moon, we may also note that Venus
and Mars are near each other in Leo, as Venus slows down in preparation for her July 22nd station to
retrograde motion. This is just as Mars is in a partile or same-degree trine with Eris in Aries, and this is
therefore an aspect of our energy for partnering rising to the fore. Romantic relationship is thus
another theme of this Full Moon and we will want to revel in that. Of course we will also want to
recognize that partnership is helpful in seeing our habitual patterns, providing us with another very
important mirror and therefore enabling us to make necessary changes.

This Full Moon indeed represents a thoughtful time, with Mercury still conjunct the Sun, which was
exact on July 1st, a day when there might have been unusual clarity in your thinking, and potentially in
seeing what it is that you have to do.

Eris with Chiron being brought now to the fore – especially in regard to our relationships, with Venus in
the picture of their forming conjunction – can give us the courage to face head-on those changes that
we need to make and simply start going for it. In this way we can forge new pathways for ourself and
substitute a different outcome than the one where we were heading without these sudden, and
suddenly wise, interventions. It’s strange how we often postpone taking necessary steps, preferring the
devil we know, as they say, to that which is unknown; or as Shakespeare put it four hundred years ago
as he meditated on this same theme, “We would rather bear those ills we have/ Than fly to others that
we know not of;/ Thus conscious doth make cowards of us all.”

As we embark upon the oh-so-necessary changes that could be coming up for us in the timing of this
Full Moon, we might indeed feel as we as though we were leaving the safety of a snug harbor for the
open seas. Ultimately scary. And yet as we hesitate we might take comfort in the realization that that
harbor represents our past self, and no longer really exists.

With the massive changes that are happening now, I highly recommend that folks get a transit
report tailored specifically to their chart for the most accurate description of what's in store for
you in the months ahead.
