The FULL MOONÂ occurs on Wednesday, July 13th, 2022, at 2:37 PM EDT.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Cancer forms an opposition to the Moon in Capricorn. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
The Cancer-Capricorn polarity concerns the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn.
In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. Cancer encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public or professional lines. While Cancer may be content to be dependent, Capricorn urges us to be grown-up and responsible.
Cancer represents the origin, and Capricorn represents the goal. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between roots and direction. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination†occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet.
This lunation connects with Mercury and Uranus, suggesting novel ideas associated with realizations and epiphanies occurring now.
Capricorn is the sign of Career, Success, Recognition, Business, Power, Real Estate and Influence, amongst other things.Â
The Sigil on our page, should be be looked at and charged, underÂ
the energies of the Full Moon, and put away, one minute after the Full Moon is ended, so it keeps its charge. Feel free to write me with any questions youÂ
may have.
Items you can bless under this Full Moon:Â
Any Black stones — especially those of protection, such as Tourmaline, Onyx, Obsidian, and Jet. Also, if you are lucky enough to possess a Black Diamond… that’s fantastic. Also, smoky quartz and clear quartz are fine. Other items can include Bone or Shell. Items made of pewter or lead are sacred to Capricorn — but be careful around lead, as it’s toxic.

The New Moon will also be a Total Solar Eclipse, happening in the sign of Sagittarius at 12º. Solar Eclipses have always been associated with the idea of Magick, and a time of great change.
