The cardinal energy flows as we welcome the Capricorn Full Moon on July 10th. This Full Moon activates the Capricorn themes of discipline and responsibility, but through our hard work, there are rewards to be found!
The Moon represents our emotions, whereas Capricorn represents logic and order. While the sensitive Moon allows us to see things in all colors, the Capricorn Sea Goat asks us to focus on the black and white and to lead with our rational mind.
As you can see, there is a conflict here between our Moon and the sign that it sits in. It’s easy to get caught up in the conflict and to feel the tensions all around, but let’s venture a bit deeper so we can unlock the magic that the Universe is trying to offer.
The Capricorn Full Moon and Sea Goat Wisdom
The Sea Goat, which is ruled by Capricorn, is a mythical creature that is half fish, half goat. Its fishy tail is well-versed in watery energy and understands the ebbs and flows that it brings. Its goat head, however, is rooted not just in logic, but in wisdom.
When the Sea Goat is operating as its higher self, it is able to take into consideration the watery depths and the logical mind and channel both of these into wisdom. It is this wisdom that allows the Sea Goat to swim deeper and climb higher than any other animal.
We can unlock the gifts of this July 2025 Full Moon by working with our emotions and our practical mind. We can unlock the gifts by embracing whatever learning we are being guided to move through, knowing that this learning will only lead us to higher wisdom.
The Capricorn Full Moon wants us to step up and take responsibility for our lives. It doesn’t want us to bypass, sugar coat, or hide from the truth. It wants us to own up to the facts, honor the truth of the emotions involved, and lead from a place of responsibility. You may not be responsible for all of the past, but you are responsible for the next step you choose to take.
Take ownership of your life and the direction you are choosing to walk. Bring acceptance to all that is around you. Recognize the feelings and emotions that circle, but also pay attention to your rational mind. Channel all of this into wisdom and own this chapter of your story.
The Capricorn Full Moon Leads Us to Greater Harmony
Mars, the planet of action and energy, is also in a favorable position under this Full Moon, allowing us to make some significant progress forward. Later in the month, the number of retrograde planets will rise, bringing a slowdown to our cosmic skies and to our lives. This Full Moon is a good opportunity to clear the path ahead, bring resolution, and wrap up loose ends before we enter this deep period of introspection.
Eris, the sister of Mars, is also active under this Full Moon, but she is at a tense angle, indicating some tension brewing. Eris tends to bring a clash against law and order and free will. Eris is known as the Goddess of Discord and Strife, as she likes to challenge outdated systems and oppressive viewpoints.
When Eris and the Full Moon team up together, there can be a strong clash of energy. We may see a struggle with law enforcement agencies, or we may witness more unrest and desire for freedom in countries all over the world.
Eris stirs the pot only because she knows a greater harmony is possible, so lean into her disruption and recognize that any discord is only helping us to elevate and connect with a higher timeline.
While Eris can be a volatile energy, her light is dimmed by other planetary forces, so chances are whatever is stirred for us will be resolved with ease, we may just have to be patient with this process and trust in the timing of events.
It is also worthwhile noting that Saturn, which is ruled by Capricorn, is all about law and order too, so this is a strong running theme through this July Full Moon.
We can use this Full Moon to get organized when it comes to bills, taxes, traffic fines, and other matters of business that need to be addressed. The logical and disciplined energy from Capricorn will help us to get this busy work sorted and all up to scratch.
The Capricorn Full Moon and our Karmic Lessons
Saturn is also entering retrograde a few days after this Full Moon, so it seems that issues from six months ago may also come back to the surface for review. If you think back to November of last year, how have you grown? What karmic lessons have you moved through?
Saturn is our Lord of Karma, so whatever karmic lessons we have been learning since November of last year are likely to reach a culmination point.
With all of this cosmic energy brewing, the Capricorn Full Moon may feel intense at times. Just come back to the question- How can I take responsibility for this situation? How can I take responsibility for my life and the choices I have made?
Owning up to our mistakes, facing our challenges, and extracting wisdom are all going to be supported under the peak of this cardinal lunar cycle.
Full Moons are always powerful times to release and let go of all that is heavy, so embrace the path ahead, let go of the heaviness, and step into a new power.
Just like the mountain goat, you too have the ability to scale the highest mountains and swim to the depths of the sea, you just need to remember that you can.
