We are now drifting through the lavender hush after the FULL MOON in CAPRICORNexperienced on Thursday/Friday. It was a lunation that moved through our physical and energetic bodies like peppermint clarifying events from the NEW MOON in CAPRICORN that took place December 30th last year. A NEW MOON which was thorn laced from the MARS RETROGRADE.
Do you remember the energy of the days around December 30th? Was there a full blown burst of anger that came towards you? Was it a seed? A conflict? A violence? There was opacity surrounding the root of it then. There was ragged debris that followed after, and now, under the MOONLIT sky, where we put it all behind us, moved our energy forward, we see. Everything in focus, the deceptions, and the fury. The FULL MOON in CAPRICORN unmasked it all.
Now, the moon begins to wane. We enter the disseminating and balsamic phases — the time of sacred compost. Of whispered truths. Of endings, and birthings. Of preparing soil for what’s next.
ASTROLOGICAL WEATHER for the WEEK AHEAD:
SUN in CANCER: Nurture, nourish, nest. The tender SUN still shines in Cancer, wrapping us in warm, watery memory. A perfect time to nourish what is hidden and gentle. Think: slow teas, unsent love letters, and singing to your inner child.
Softness is my shield.
MERCURY in LEO: Bold thoughts, brave words. Mercury in Leo roars like a golden lioness with poetry and protest alike. Say what you mean with a hand on your heart. Share your art. Make voice memos to your future self. Speak honeyed truths. Wear something yellow.
VENUS in GEMINI: Venus is wordy now, a flirtatious butterfly. Love looks like sitting across from each other whispering poetry, but nothing heavy, somthing light and beautiful like Wendy Cope, or Christina Rossetti.
MARS in VIRGO: Slow burn, real results. Mars here is not rushed. Think sensual activism. Make things with your hands. Plant herbs, build altars, strengthen your physical body.
Power in consistency.
WANING MOON: The MOON's light dims. It’s a time of untangling, of offering what you learned under the full moon’s gaze. The balsamic phase (from July 16) calls for retreat. A subtle magic, best used for releasing, forgiving, composting.
Foot soaks with fresh rosemary. Journaling with a drop of clove oil on a cloth tucked in your collar. Burn outdated internal monologues.
