Full Moon in Capricorn: Swami’s song
Hi, Everyone,
This is a tough one to write, and I never write this late in the day; but, it is one I need to do. This is like Full Moon in Capricorn, where you have a sense of responsibility, and I cannot let this one down in spite of my weariness. Let me break down the energy to the best of my ability. Neptune, the planet of dreams, imagination, the unconscious mind, escapism, delusion, deception, and creativity, entered the final degree of the Zodiac, which is at 29 degrees of Pisces, where it will transit through 9/4/24 and on and off next year.
This is a very tough degree of the Zodiac, where people feel lost, confused, exchasted, drained, unsure, and without a compass. Many, who have been sick for a while and barely hanging on to this life will choose to exit. There will be mass exits. For those struggling with mental health and addiction, this is a very troublesome transit, where they may want to tune out much more. Check in with people that are struggling. This is very sensitive energy indeed, and some will need extra care.
We have our upcoming second Full Moon in Capricorn that takes place on July 21, 2024 at 6:17 am EST at 29 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn. This is a WOPPER of a FULL MOON, and I feel it through every pore of my being. How about you?
The First Full Moon occurred on June 21, 2024 at 1 degree and 9 minutes of Capricorn, and that Full Moon called back to when Pluto was transiting at 1 degree of Capricorn early in the Pluto in Capricorn story that began in 2008/2009. When Pluto intially entered Capricorn, it was the time of the housing crisis, the Bernie Madoff scandal, and permanent change of Financial institutions and the corporate world.
Pluto is the higher Octave of Mars, and it packs a hell of a punch. Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth, destruction, renewal, empowerment, misuse of money and manipulation, big finances, and other people’s money and joint resources.
When Pluto initially entered Capricorn in 2008 and 2009, Pluto transited at the world axis, which hits people on the world stage, as well as the entire collective. When Pluto transited at 0 degrees of Capricorn on and off in 2008 and 2009, the world experienced a Global Financial crisis. Brokerage firms like Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns, and Merrill Lynch got hit massively, and there was a huge restructuring in the economy. More of an accountability of right and wrong, and a big recession to follow.
For the Cardinal signs, 0 and 22 degree are at the world axis and are a degree of fame. The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. The Fixed signs are 15 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn. The Mutable signs are at 7 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. If a person has a lot of planets or angles at the world point, they can be well known or even famous. If outer planets transit at the world point, big world events occur.
Saturn is the cosmic architect of the Zodiac, that works from a blueprint to help you assemble your plans and goals with hard work, focus, and determination. Saturn is the planet of karma, responsibility, restrictions, structures, limitations, integrity, time, and goals. Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn in Modern Astrology and Aquarius in Ancient Astrololgy. Saturn transited in the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn from December 20, 2017 through December 17, 2020. Saturn represents our karmic lessons, challenges, a sense of feeling pressured, how we can mature and anchor our achievements, and we how we develop integrity.
Saturn met up with Pluto, the cosmic compost, on January 12, 2020 at the world point at 22 degrees of the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. This cosmic cycle happens approximately every 37 years when the two traditional Malefics — Saturn and Pluto — meet up together for a whole new story. This round in January of 2020, the two malefics met up at the world degree at 22 degrees of Capricorn and brought down permant change in structures in our world, mass death of life, old businesses, and ways of doing things. The world will never be the same again. This cycle also changed the way we do business forever.
Pluto, the planet of transformation, initially entered the Fixed air sign of Aquarius, on March 23, 2023 through June 13, 2023 and returned to the sign of Aquarius on January 20, 2024. Pluto, the planet of demolition and regeneration, retrograded on May 2, 2024 at 2 degrees of Aquarius and will have its final duel in Capricorn when it returns to this sign on September 1, 2024 through November 19, 2024.
Pluto transits this fall at an anaretic degree, which is the final degree of a sign. There are 30 degrees to a sign; 0 is the first degree, and 29 is the final degree of that sign. The anaretic or final degre of a sign help us to master the lessons of that sign, and this will be an intense round!
Capricorn reprents people in power, authority and leadership. It is the teacher, the CEO, the CFO, world leaders, and people that goven the law. The sign of Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is the planet of integrity. With Pluto transiting at this final degree, there will be many that will be held accountable both on the world stage and in our own personal lives, we are all being held accountable in some area. There will be big changes in corporate and government structures, layoffs, and a lot of unhealed pain dug up on a mass level: Collateral damage from centuries and years of unhealed trauma.
An anaretic degree is a degree of completion, endings, and mastery. Pluto transits returns to 29 degrees and 59 minutes of Capricorn on September 1, 2024, stations direct on October 12,2024 at 29 degrees and 38 minutes of Capricorn and returns to the fixed and futuristic sign of Aquarius, where it’s going tour with Keith Richards on and off through January of 2044. Pluto is a planet that teaches you that there are things you can control, and there are many things that you cannot. There is a collective release and letting go in all of this.
This weekend, we build up to this dramatic and powerful Full Moon. Mars, the ruler of Aries and co-ruler of Scorpio, enters the Mutable air sign of Gemini on July 20, 2024 at 4:43 pm EST, where it transits through September 4, 2024. When Mars transits in Gemini, this is an excellent time for multitasking and get a lot of chores completed in a short period of time. It is excellent for engaging and working with local businesses and doing events, networking, taking and teaching workshops, learning, speaking at events, and doing a lot in little bursts of time. It certainly changes the scene from Mars transiting in its detriment while sluggish in Taurus, where it is wrapping up as I write.
The Full Moon is the biggest one of the year aside from the Eclipses because it is the second Full Moon in Capricorn this summer. More importantly, it is a foreshadowing of Pluto’s final transit in Capricorn, in which many things will come down in the world and in our lives. What do you need to purge? What have you not faced?
While Neptune is in LA LA land (where I will be next month!), this second Full Moon in Capricorn asks what are you made of, and what are you going to do about it? This Full Moon occurs at 6:17 pm EST at 29 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn. In the Full Moon chart, the Full Moon in Capricorn is at an anaretic degree urging you and demanding you to wrap up the lessons of the past 15/16 years when Pluto initially entered Capricorn.
This Full Moon is a the final degree of Capricorn; but, it is also conjunct Pluto, the planet of endings and beginings, which is at 0 degrees and 54 minutes of Aquarius. You need to purge the past to make room for Pluto in Aquarius, which centers on embracing the future and limitless possibilities for genius, invention, and reinvention. On the world stage, we can expect this to express itself politically throughout the world, and there could be various shifts occuring.
This is deeper, though. What or to whom are you saying goodbye? For me, it is my 97 year old Swami. I never write late in the afternoon or early at night because I feel so much more inspired in the morning with my caffeine and a stream of light pouring through my half drawn curtains.
I said my official goodbye to Swami last Monday, but his strong Taurus constitution keeps going a little while longer. We know that it is not much longer. This is painful to write, as my best friend will lose one of his best friends in the world. It is time for him to release him even though it is really painful.
When I saw Swami, he poked me in the hard in the side with that strong Bull consistution and said, “Eat this for you? If I eat, I’m going to eat for me. Have some compassion!” Swami is right. He has lived and earned his right to leave. He is a creative genius and embodies many qualities both of Neptune and Pisces. Undoubtededly, he has Pisces rising, with his absent minded Professor demeanor, flat feet, and prescient sense of musical genius. He is also psychic.
It is for me to face Pluto and let go. It is out of my control. He is not a tragedy; he has lived a long life. But, it is still one of my favorite people I will ever, ever meet, and I have to say goodbye. This is not about me, and that is why I need to relent and give up control. This Full Moon chart is conjunct Pluto, which means for some of us that we really need to let go of control. We need to accept.
There will also be information uncovered that will be very emotional; as well as unexected. Mercury, the planet of information, later forms a challenging influence to Uranus, which is the modern ruler of Aquarius. Uranus is also the higher Octave of Mercury. This is great energy for brainstorming on your feet; but, it will involve twists and turns, changes in plans, big shocks and surprises. Expect the unexpeced. There will be major breakups, layoffs, endings, and CHANGE will this second Full Moon in Capricorn aligned with Pluto.
This is a preview of Pluto’s Last Dance in Capricorn. Not for the light hearted, but the truth is you need to face what lies ahead of you. You can tune out like I have for the past few weeks with a bad back and in pre-emptive mourning, or you can tap into magic and do things you need to do, as Capricorn focuses on your responsibilities. What do you need to accomplish?
Do you want to lie on your back and feel sorry for yourself before the energy gets more chaotic in August, or do you want to focus on what you need to get done?! I would hope the latter because it has been a miserable few weeks for this member of the Neptune Dodgers. I kept hitting strikes one after the other.
This chart has magic, and that is why I do this for Swami. Swami is a genius, and he is a visionary. Music is Swami’s elixir. Venus, the planet of love, forms a beautiful and enabling aspect to Jupiter, the Grand Benefic, planet of expansion, hope, and optimism. These are the two benefics in harmony, which reminds me of my Taurus Swami cutting up melon and enjoying every last bite as music gushes out of every corner of his place and a copy of the Sunday New York Times spread out around his living room in different areas of the room.
This aspect says that although there is no denying the reality and truth, why not enjoy nature’s bites and realize that some of these tough times will pass. Heed the lessons, but there are solutions with Mars in Gemini, as there are different routes and lanes in which you can now take action.
The Moon is part of a Grand Trine, which is a triangle in which each point is 120 degrees from the other. The Moon in Capricorn forms a beautiful trine to Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs and enlightenment, and the two trine Juno, which is an asteroid that represents partnerships. Getting work done by partnering with people smarter than you is always a good idea to learn and elevate your game!
Venus and Jupiter dance in harmony at 4:43 pm EST, which is a helpful energy after the fated meetup with Pluto and the Full Moon in Capricorn. Mercury and Uranus spar at 6:21 pm EST, which is exciting, chaotic, thrilling, and disruptive on the road. It could be a great exchange of ideas and add to the creativitity; but, shocking news will come out in some way this weekend. The Full Moon gets a supportive sextile from Neptune, which is soothing and helps you to connect the dream to the goal. However, Neptune is absolutely exhausted, and it is hard to focus with this heaviness. There is a need to sleep and sleep more.
The Sun in Cancer is all about emotions and feelings — processing the informations through how you feel about it. The Sun remains in Cancer through July 22, 2024; but, before it leaves, it forms a beautiful trine to Neptune at 11:25 pm EST. Soon after, Mars in Gemini forms a beautiful angle to Pluto in Aquarius, and this trine helps to facillitate empowering yourself through ascending through intellectual aviation. This aspect occurs at 11:48 pm PST and on July 23, 2024 at 2:48 am EST. There are options and choices, and it is time to face the right choices that propel your forward.
