Who is ready to dance naked under the full moon?! I know I am! Today, the moon moves from bold Capricorn into inspired Aquarius. Not only do we get a lunar transit, but we also get a full moon!
Aquarius is filling us to the brim with compassion and a sense of community. But while we are concerned with others, it is important to remember to care for ourselves as well.
The Moon Is Opposite Mercury at 3:55 AM
Early this morning, the moon in self-important Capricorn forms an opposition with Mercury in moody Cancer. Under this opposition, we may not use our talents and resources responsibly. When earth signs face off with water signs, our thoughts can get muddy.
Our minds can be, if you’ll excuse the pun, mercurial and ever-changing. Because our thoughts and opinions are constantly changing at this time, it may seem like we are being deceitful. We are not necessarily lying, our own truth is just unclear. This lack of clarity can cause us to lash out.
If you feel yourself on the verge of losing your temper, take a step back and try your best to collect your thoughts by taking deep breaths or meditating.
The Moon Is Sextile Neptune at 8:32 AM
Around breakfast time, the moon in Capricorn forms a sextile with Neptune who is at home in dreamy Pisces. Under this sextile, the earth and water sign work together to give us a fertile vision. Our empathy and creative inclinations flourish during this time. Our great understanding of others aids in our understanding of artistic mediums.
It is believed that there is a correlation between empathy and reading fiction. You can utilize your empathy by creating characters and worlds that will inspire and resonate with others.
The Moon Is Conjunct Pluto at 12:27 PM
Around noon, the moon in Capricorn forms a conjunction with Pluto who is also in Capricorn. Under this conjunction, it may feel like we are butting heads with everyone around us. This feeling of hostility can cause us to become depressed or temperamental.
At times like this, it can be beneficial to just take a step back and indulge in guilty pleasures. Turn your brain off and play a fun video game or watch a good comfort film. You are under no obligation to be “on” all the time.
The Moon Moves into Aquarius at 8:11 PM
In the evening, the moon moves into visionary Aquarius. This moon is all about revolution and revelry. At this time, we feel particularly close to our loved ones and community. We are quick to offer an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. We are passionate about social events and social causes.
Under lunar Aquarius, we are driven to entertain as well as be entertained. We are also driven to be compassionate. Consider attending a charity event or protest to raise awareness. And then host a gathering to raise everyone’s spirits.
The Full Moon Occurs in Aquarius at 10:37 PM
Later, the moon in Aquarius reaches its “full” potential. See what I did there? During this full moon, we are filled with compassion, creativity, and an overwhelming need for freedom. It may be difficult to honor all of these desires, and that can lead to frustration.
We have a lot of compassion for others right now and that is a beautiful thing. If we can turn a little bit of that compassion inwards, it can help to nourish our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This nourishment can inspire us to fulfill our artistic proclivities. When we can create without our self-doubt weighing us down, then we can experience a form of freedom. Introspect! Indulge! Inspire!
