Capricorn Full Moon (July 3): Who Could Have Asked For More? ✨
Published: Sat, 07/01/23
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And
however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.” ― Stephen Hawking
When the moon is in Capricorn themes of rejection and obstacles are in the air. Oh my.
I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but the Moon and Capricorn don’t jibe all that well. The moon is about our feelings, intuition, and femininity – long summer nights and cups of tea – while Capricorn is about responsibility, commitment and authority figures –
career paths and corporate ladders.
As we approach Independence Day in the U.S., the Moon
makes her way into stoic Capricorn, while the Sun resides in it’s opposite sign, sensitive and caring Cancer.
The Moon blooms into her fullness on Monday July 3rd at 7:39 am EST (4:39 am PST).
It’s difficult to express emotions when Capricorn visits the moon. Although we may, in fact, feel emotions strongly, we don’t have an outlet for them and
they can get “stuck” in our bodies and psyches. It’s important to have an outlet for our emotions and since Capricorn is a cardinal
sign, a “do-er” by nature, that is how individuals with this natal placement (Moon in Capricorn) usually handle emotions. They get to work. They may work through and complete tasks, which gives them a sense of achievement and fulfillment.

Neptune is: vivid night-time dreams, a moon-lit swim, dancing in the dark, the mesmerizing ocean. Life is more beautiful when it’s infused with Neptunian energy.
Neptune represents otherworldly experiences and faraway planets, like in my favorite childhood novel, A Wrinkle in Time.
When I was a kid, teachers often chided me: “Earth to Nicole!” (I’m conjuring up Meg here, the quirky protagonist of the aforementioned novel). From a progressive teaching/learning perspective, we now understand this as neurodivergence. I was not purposely staring out the window; I wasn’t a defiant kid and my
Scorpio Ascendent self definitely did not want any negative attention on me; it was something that felt out of my control and likely linked to all the screaming and shouting that went on every morning in
my home. From an Astrological perspective, the planet Neptune resides in my 1st house of Self. Neptune symbolizes daydreaming and one’s imagination. It also symbolizes illusion and addiction.
Pisces, ruled by Neptune, lies on my 4th house cusp, the house in the Natal Chart that reflects your home and family life, and both descriptions are fitting. Each sign and planet represents an evolved set of qualities – for Neptune, it is spirituality, compassion, and creativity – and a less evolved side – in Neptune’s case, this is addiction, illusion, and deception.
THE OPPOSITE OF ELUSIVE PISCES IS RELIABLE VIRGO
If you recall from my past blogs, each Zodiac Sign has an opposite; the point being that in order to create balance and fulfillment in our lives we need to work toward integration of what the two sides represent. Neptune, ruler of Pisces, needs to integrate its opposite sign of Virgo and vice versa. Neptune Retrograde is a bit like a cold splash of Virgo in the face.
On June 30th at 5:07 pm EST, planet Neptune officially moves into retrograde mode through December 6th at 8:20 am EST.
Boy, can Virgo can feel like a rude awakening in the face of a lovely Pisces slumber. It makes me think of being woken by my (mars-in-virgo) mother for school when I was a kid; my school began at an ungodly hour and my mother, who doubled as my alarm clock, would wake me up every morning: Rise and shine! Yep, that is a taste of what the Neptune Retrograde
period may feel like.
