Balancing Ambition and Comfort in Cancer Season | July’s Full Moon in Capricorn

Cancer season is the time of the year when we crave being near water, especially in the northern hemisphere.

Water, the origin of all living things, represents the ability to wash away impurities, renewing and refreshing the spirit, just like the Cancer archetype.

As lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans invite us into their refreshing and calming effect, they serve as a natural escape from the hustle of everyday life, what Cancer’s opposite archetype Capricorn symbolizes.

Cancer represents the collective understanding and idealization of the mother figure as a symbol of love, protection, and care. Cancer is what is safe for us. Cancer is our comfort zone - a blanket and a homemade meal.

Capricorn, symbolized by mountain goats, excellent climbers who scale steep cliffs and rocky slopes with agility, represents everything we build with resilience and discipline.

Capricorn leaves the blanket & homemade meal and wakes up in the morning to build the comfortable life that Cancer longs for.

The full moon in Capricorn arrives at 7.38 am EDT. The Mercury in Cancer conjuncts the Sun. This full moon is an excellent time to seek clarity about what you want to build for the long term by embracing your inner authority. Even though Capricorn Energy is very open to over-do the focus on work, success, and goals, this Cancer energy allows you to find a healthy equilibrium between your personal needs and goals.

What are your priorities? How can you start preparing them now? There definitely is support in building what you desire on this full moon. Jupiter in Taurus is trine the moon, supporting you to see the material investments that are necessary to achieve your desires.

Saturn, the ruler of the full moon, is in Pisces and retrograding. How can your materialistic goals also support you in growing spiritually? Is there anything you need to leave behind?

Remember, Capricorn is the only archetype that creates its own opportunity. How can you actively be involved in your growth? Maybe Saturn in Pisces will let you do it with care and compassion this time.

From the heart to the wound,
