This full moon in Capricorn lands us where liquid and soil meet, where the waters whisper secrets to the ground that is so deeply hidden within it. The darkness beneath the surface churns. The earth becomes herself as she unfolds into many forms, dissolving and reshaping, unravelling and making connections. 

What would you like to bring forth from the depths? The fullness of the moon asks. What do you want to shape with your hands, to create in the world, to make of your life? 

Capricorn mingles with the moon’s fullness, and the energy of this archetype carries us from thoughts into form, from words into action, from fluidity into structure. 

If there are things you want to birth, Capricorn is your midwife. If you don’t know how to get from point A to point B, Capricorn will map it out. If you are on a tough road, she will tell you life is tough, and not let you give up. If you need to wine about it, she will send you to the opposite side on the spoke of the wheel, where Cancer, the loving Mother of the zodiac, who is hanging out with the sun right now, lives. 

Deep in Cancer’s waters we’ll receive the nourishment we need, the love, the nurturing, and the emotional intelligence that supports us through understanding where we are, feeling into the interwoven worlds of self and community and environment. 

With the sun in Cancer we bask in the waters of the Mother, held protected in her womb, in the shell of the crab, in a delicate, fierce sea of change within a world that nourishes you and eats you. With the moon in Capricorn we are called to excavate what is needed from the depth, and to rise, to reach for the shore, to climb up the mountain so that we can gain more perspective, to challenge ourselves to create, to make of this life a work of art. 

This is not an easy time. This is not a simple world. Life is a brief moment and we want to make the most out of it, and living through this piece of history may shake our core. But this is still this one precious moment for you to be you – the artist, the poet, the landscape designer – for your life to be your garden, your canvas, your kitchen. 

What can you work with? What plants want to grow with you, weave with you under the ground? What pollinates your life? What do you want to fertilize? What tools are available for you in the kitchen of your life? What ingredients can you find around you? What colors and what brushes do you have? And what would you like to make with all that is here? 

What if this moon was your midwife? What if this moon was ready if you were, to support your process of becoming? What if this was your moment to reach into the depths and into the visions and desires, and receive what’s available and wants to support you, and with it weave, and with it give yourself a chance, and the world your gifts?

Give yourself an opportunity to breathe with the world in a way that invites the support that you need, in a way that helps you build strength, in a way that gives the world what you’re here to share. 

Let the moon in. Let your light out.
