Full Moon in Capricorn. July 10, 2025 Final Aspect: Sagittarius Moon square Mars in Cancer Theme: Release, Celebrate, Gain Insight

Full Moon in Capricorn
The Full Moon in Capricorn offers a moment of sober illumination—a pause to witness what’s been built and what no longer serves. Capricorn brings structure, responsibility, and enduring purpose into focus. This lunation invites both reflection and release, helping us harvest wisdom from our efforts and make space for what’s next. There's a sense of quiet accomplishment here—but also a call to soften the edges and reconnect with what truly matters.

Moon’s Final Aspect

Sagittarius Moon square Mars in Cancer
Before the Moon enters Capricorn, it forms a square to Mars in Cancer—an aspect that stirs emotional tension, urgency, and the desire for meaningful action. Mars in Cancer defends what it loves, while the Moon in Sagittarius seeks truth and expansion. Their square invites us to reconcile internal unrest with intentional movement.

The symbolism deepens through mutual rulership: the Moon rules Cancer (where Mars currently moves), and Jupiter rules Sagittarius. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, adding emotional depth and intuitive vision to this dynamic. This closing square doesn’t demand polished perfection—it asks for movement with meaning. Emotions may be heightened, but they serve as catalysts for truth. Listen for what stirs beneath the surface. Let action become a form of inner integration.

Write down what you’ve outgrown—habits, roles, or old responsibilities. Safely burn the paper, letting the flame symbolize transformation. As the smoke rises, whisper:

“I release the weight. I keep the wisdom.”

Affirmation

“I honor what has shaped me, and I make room for what’s next.”

Journal Prompts

• What has come to completion in my life—and what do I need to release to fully honor it?

• Where am I ready to move forward with purpose, not pressure?

• What truth have I been holding back that wants to be expressed?

Sacred Insight

This Full Moon is not about dramatic declarations. It’s about quiet clarity, honoring the shape of what has been—and choosing how to carry it forward or lay it down. The square to Mars stirs us to act from emotion, but Capricorn steadies us. Let your insight speak louder than your fears. Let your next move be a release, not a reaction.
