MOONTHLY THEME:
NURTURING, HOME & FAMILY
CAPRICORN FULL MOON ILLUMINATION:
'Releasing control over the outcome allows for wondrous possibilities and collaborations.'
I've been writing new and full moon updates for the past 6 years with a few little pauses here and there. Today I am celebrating my commitment to sharing these insights with you for so many moons before I take a break - it's very Capricorn themed with this full moon.
I haven't felt a strong desire to write as much these last few lunations. It has become more of a scheduled task, and I am going to honour that as a sign that after many moons it's time to take a break until the desire and inspiration is fully alive again, and there is ample space within my world to come back refreshed.
Often when I make decisions like this, more space is created and creativity has a chance to renew itself, meaning I will probably find it easier to write more often, inverting the concept of a break in and of itself. Or there is space for something new to grow.
This year has been all about that for me as I have traversed a very clear shift from a comfortable Capricorn South Node towards the slowing of my Cancer North Node. Commitments are being internally renegotiated. Overworking is being transformed into ample nourishment. Priorities are just shifting. And I am taking this full moon with a sense of immense pride for all of the things I have accomplished over the last 6 years to create this space and keep showing up. Thank you always for being here.
But don't worry, nothing is changing, new and full moons will go on as normal with Colin's impeccable words. Read on for his insights, and happy Capricorn full moon.

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN AT 29° 08’
On the first of two Full Moons in Capricorn this year, I asked you to "choose to choose." Often, we perceive our choices as dictated by external circumstances. Sometimes we don’t have a choice, but not during a Capricorn transit. What would it mean for you to choose to have more choice in your life? To see yourself as the cause, not the effect? Since June 21st, we’ve been invited to move beyond automatic responses and disempowered victim positions to find our agency in choice.
With the last Full Moon in Capricorn this year, I want you to choose a different agenda. Aligned with the Full Moon illumination, think about how releasing control over outcomes allows for a more divine agenda. This Full Moon at the final degree of Capricorn reminds us that we’re all control freaks. We all have agendas and outcomes we want to see manifested. What if, instead, we surrender the agenda of our inner control freaks and allow for divine possibilities and collaborations to move through us? Remember, the lower half of the Capricorn Seagoat is a fish tail, connecting Capricorn to a divine intelligence with a more effective agenda than our tiny human minds. When you lean on this divine intelligence, wondrous possibilities, relationship satisfaction and right time, right place moments become the rule rather than the exception. Capricorn has an incredible ability to be prepared for opportunity because it wasn’t attached to an outcome. So let this Full Moon sit your inner control freak down and put a gag order on it. What has it done for you lately other than have you live in the wreckage of the future, stay hypervigilant, exhausted and worried?
What’s compelling about this Full Moon is the sextile the Moon is making to Neptune in Pisces. This aspect might provide the reality check we need to achieve our goals, especially if we've been too distracted or confused to focus on the immediate tasks that move us towards realizing our dreams. It’s an anchor in the ocean that stabilizes us so we don’t lose the plot. Additionally, it could help us manage and move through the emotions around letting go of control. It’s scary, yes, but what’s waiting for you is exhilaration and adventure.
While it may feel initially frightening, the fun is on the other side. A beautiful sextile between Venus and Jupiter could give us some much-needed play and levity, so don’t take the work too seriously. Maybe the work is simply lightening up! Similar to letting go of outcomes, this feels counterproductive but is equally powerful. Only when we play and lighten up can we become very productive and intelligent in our problem-solving because we’re receptive and relaxed. May the final Full Moon in Capricorn help you choose to choose. Then let divine intelligence guide you to wondrous outcomes. Together, let’s go onward.
