Full Moon in Capricorn 2025

On July 10th at 1:36 PM PDT the Sun and Moon oppose each other; Sun at 18 degrees 50 minutes Cancer, and the Moon at 18 degrees 50 minutes Capricorn. At this moment the Moon is Full, and we arrive to find out if the goals we set when the Moon was new in Capricorn have manifested or not. On December 30th, 2024 the New Moon in Capricorn gave us the opportunity to set a course for how we operate in our work, our career, and what is our reputation?

Now with the Moon Full in this sign, we are about to find out if we’ve successfully managed our life to change or upgrade how we function in a worldly sense. Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign; Cardinal as it lands in the first month of Winter, and the Earth element stresses the need to support ourselves in our world. In the Zodiac, Capricorn rules our career choice, the work we do, and how others see us in our work. Are we the leader, or do we follow? Your own chart will show you how you made your choice, and what is best for you to do in this lifetime.

Now is the time we look at the balance between our private and public life. Being a Full Moon it may be an emotional take. Are you directing your attention equally to your domestic life and your career? Nurturing yourself and those around you without neglecting your work? One depends upon the other, as we need our home base safe and sound in order to do well in our career. One feeds the other, so now is the time to either celebrate the balance, or see the stark reality of one side or the other left wanting.

Affecting this Full Moon is Mars at 13 degrees Virgo. It sextiles the Sun and trines the Moon; positive aspects to these luminaries. Mars is the planet of power, energy, war and independent action. While transiting in Virgo, this energy is dedicated to making improvements, working toward perfection. The sextile to the Sun brings enthusiasm and harmony, bypassing the combative tendencies of Mars. You can tap into your inner strength and achieve long awaited results. And the trine to the Full Moon is the green light to assert your power and confront difficulties in a no nonsense sort of way. Doing what’s right rather than excusing emotional behavior is easier now.

Consider what it is you were working toward when the Sun and Moon shared the same degree (New Moon), right before the New Year. Some of us were making New Year's resolutions, likely involving hopes and dreams of being a more productive individual. The inspiration was there, and the timing was perfect. Now honestly appraise how you’ve done, and take action to correct your course if necessary. The Moon in Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster, and can tend to be quite strict and cold at times. Be kind to yourself and in your appraisal; don’t dwell on dissatisfaction but keep climbing the ladder of self success. It is a very creative time, planetary wise, with energies that support independent action and self reliance. See yourself in your mind's eye living the harmony and balance these luminaries and planets encourage. Then follow through on your vision with dedicated action and see how much joy can come from moving forward!

New Moon in Cancer 2025

On June 25th at 3:32 AM PDT the Sun and Moon share the placement of 4 degrees Cancer 8 minutes, and herald the moment of the New Moon. We are shifting gears from the Gemini energy of objective imaginings to the subjective energy of Cancer. While one must precede the other, we are now to explore how we feel about our creation.

As all New Moons are about new beginnings, this one is so well suited for really revealing what it is we want to participate in. Beginnings rely on clearing out space to hold the new project, whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Now is the time for digging deep into our past to better access our futures.

Cancer rules the home and all that comes with it. Mother, our childhood, our emotions, and our ancestors. On the surface we look at our past and remember key moments that affected us deeply; now we can review those to find the keys to our own behavior. We see what set us up for fears, phobias, and limitations, as well as talents, skills and interests. At this time we have deeper access to what lies buried in our subconscious. Things we might need some digging to remember that led us to this moment. Reaching in deep can reveal who we really are, and whether or not we still wish to hold on to the past.

This Cardinal Water sign encourages an interest in our family, our children, our land and landscape. It is time to celebrate what we have created and improve upon it. If you wish to reopen a bridge that has been burned before, now is a good time to open your heart and mind and put yourself in another’s shoes. Even if nothing happens in person, you can meditate and bring them forward in your mind's eye and speak to them the words that need to be said. Bring beauty and love to all you cherish, imbue your property with color and fragrance. Invite in the Mother energy that surrounds our Earth, and let her inspire you with your creation. Renovate, decorate and rebuild that which needs rebuilding.

Mars sextiles the Sun and Moon at 4 degrees Virgo. When Mars, the planet of action, is in this sign, we wish to perfect our environment, iron out the wrinkles in the fabric of our lives. It compliments these luminaries with the mission to improve, correct and reconstruct what needs attention. The work ethic is second nature here and you can accomplish what you set out to do more easily than at other times.

On this occasion the Sun and Moon are joined by Jupiter at 3 degrees Cancer. Jupiter expands what draws our attention, and here it is to support our creativity and actions to beautify our lives. This gentle giant will assist us all in healing, growth and new opportunities, so when choosing what you wish to create, lean in this direction.

Saturn squares the Sun and Moon at 1 degree Aries. This can bring self doubt and a sensitivity to whether or not others approve or accept you. Neptune at 2 degrees Aries squares them as well, bringing the feeling of wishing to escape confrontation and making things confusing. These challenges are here to help you find your self worth rather than isolate yourself.

On this glorious New Moon, allow the nurturing energies of this sign to bless you and your life with inspiration and peace. It is all yours.

The Summer Solstice 2025

This year the first moment Summer begins on June 20th at 7:42 PM PDT. The Sun enters the sign of Cancer at 0 degrees 0 minutes, let the celebrations begin! Every year at this time the Sun starts the season with this Cardinal Water Sign. Cardinal as it is the first month of the season, and the Water element quenches our thirst for family fun, compassion and love. It is the sign of the Mother that gives birth and sustenance to their creation, whether it be human, animal, plant, or otherwise. It is an active time leading with the longest day of the year; the brightest, most hopeful time, when the sprouts have sprouted and life is growing stronger every day.

The Sun is supported well with many aspects from the planets. Striking me as unique is the exac sextile to the Moon, also at 0 degrees in the sign of Taurus. These two signs compliment each other with a balance of Taurus energy, as when it is used positively, it lends the individual the resolve to stick to it, to be persistent, to go the extra mile. Emotional tendencies with the Moon are tempered in grounded Taurus, making calm decisions possible.

The Sun is also sextile Mars at 2 degrees Virgo. Mars=energy, and while in this sign we tend to work hard, see the imperfections and labor over them to create harmony. This aspect helps us to be disciplined, play by the rules, and do things right. Mars in Virgo is a great time to plow through those daunting tasks we’ve been putting off!

The Sun is conjunct Jupiter at 2 degrees Cancer. Jupiter is “exalted” in Cancer, meaning it can express its full potential here. Jupiter is a benefic planet, associated with good luck, providence, happiness, and growth. All of the best qualities of Cancer are boosted now, so set your sights on sensing what is necessary; reading between the lines and hearing the message from within it. Cancer is a feminine/passive energy; receptive, yet with the cardinal energy, it leads. Like the Mother in a family, she is a different leader than the Father, yet she leads.

The Sun is square Saturn at 1 degree Aries.  You may feel personally inadequate and doubt yourself at this time. But if you take a cautious and careful look at your life with a responsible and disciplined mindset with regard to your obligations, you should shine! You tend to work and struggle more than you need to with this square, and to take yourself too seriously. Keep this in mind.

And lastly, the Sun is square Neptune at 29 degrees Taurus. You can be extremely sensitive and imaginative now, and you can get lost in your dreams, fantasies, and visions. You are attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, the world of color, beauty, and emotion. You are also drawn to mysticism with deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace-loving, you may feel you lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make your way in the world. Do not seek to escape, but be aware that the difficult realities of life are here to teach us how to proceed in a more advantageous way.

The reason I cast charts for moments like this is to better understand the energies we are surrounded by and how to use them for our highest good. We are supported and challenged here, to open our hearts without feeling vulnerable to what could happen. Be at peace, and if you are on the West Coast, get out in the evening beauty and celebrate this moment under the stars;)
