There’s something ancient in the bones of this moon.
The Full Moon in Capricorn rises on Monday, July 21, 2025, peaking at 6:17 AM EST. Overarching themes surrounding grounding, commitment, and legacy. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, is the keeper of time, structure, and long term vision. Paired with the Sun in Cancer, this moon asks us to balance softness with strength, nurture with responsibility, and emotional memory with real-world stability.
This lunation is about the climb and the container. It’s the sacred tension between our roots and our reach.
Astrological Context:
This moon tightly conjuncts Pluto, freshly retrograde in Capricorn, intensifying the need to transform the old bones of our lives: ancestral patterns, generational burdens, outdated roles. Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler, sits retrograde in Pisces, reminding us that structure can be mystical and boundaries can be porous. It’s a moon that teaches through endurance, showing us the sacred in showing up.
