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.
Gifts
Inner mastery through reflection
Celebrating tangible growth
Emotional courage and honesty
Clear insight into what’s complete
Alignment between vision and responsibility
Challenges
Emotional suppression or withdrawal
Fear of vulnerability in the face of change
Rigid expectations about outcomes
Tension between personal truth and family duty
Over-efforting instead of releasing
Archetypes & Tarot Symbolism
Capricorn evokes the Wise Elder, The Hermit, and the Mountain Climber—figures of endurance, solitude, and slow-earned strength.
Sagittarius offers The Seeker, The Philosopher, and The Archer, pointing toward higher truth and hopeful expansion.
Mars in Cancer brings in the Warrior-Protector, defending the heart's inner sanctuary.
Together, these archetypes invite us to act from inner alignment, not external pressure.
Tarot Correspondences:
Capricorn: The Devil (shadow work, responsibility, material mastery)
Sagittarius: Temperance (alchemical integration, faith)
Mars in Cancer: The Chariot (inner direction, tension and triumph)
Ritual & Reflection
Mini Ritual: Fire Release Ceremony
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.

First Quarter Moon in Libra July 1, 2025
The First Quarter Moon in Libra arrives July 1, 2025, inviting aligned action.
Moon Phase: First Quarter Moon Sign: Libra (Air – Cardinal – Yang)
Theme: Tension, Initiation, Aligned Action
The First Quarter Moon arrives as a moment of dynamic tension. This phase is not passive—it’s a sacred turning point that asks: Are you willing to move forward, even when it feels uncertain? In Libra, the action lies in restoring balance—not by pleasing everyone, but by choosing what’s truly aligned.
Libra’s airy grace is often mistaken for indecision, but beneath the surface is the soul of a diplomat, learning how to act without losing harmony. This is a moment to build through clarity, to take thoughtful steps, and to align with what brings both beauty and integrity to your path.
Moon’s Final Aspect: Virgo Moon trine Uranus in Taurus
Before the Moon leaves Virgo and enters Libra, she forms a harmonious trine to Uranus in Taurus—a steady and supportive opening for change that is clear, grounded, and quietly revolutionary. This final aspect leaves behind the energetic imprint of clarity through discernment, and freedom through practical wisdom.
As we enter Libra's relational airspace, we carry with us Virgo's gift: the ability to face tension and take action to build with precision and evolve with purpose. This final aspect gently supports change that’s rooted in integrity and aligned with your own natural rhythm.
Rather than react impulsively, we are asked to adjust mindfully. Evolution doesn't have to shout—it can arrive through one intentional step at a time.
Gifts & Challenges
Gifts:
The clarity to take aligned action
Steady insights that support sustainable growth
Opportunities to evolve your habits, rhythms, or daily choices with care
A deepened sense of harmony through conscious choice
Challenges:
Delaying action due to fear of disrupting peace
Overthinking or intellectualizing feelings
Seeking approval rather than alignment
Avoiding healthy tension in relationships or decisions
This phase isn’t about perfection—it’s about participation.
Archetypes & Tarot Symbolism
Archetype: The Diplomat – Libra teaches us that grace and decisiveness can coexist. True balance is active, not passive.
Tarot Symbols:
Justice (Libra) – Alignment, fairness, choice
The Lovers – Conscious commitment to your values
The Hermit (Virgo) – Insight gained through quiet truth
The Fool (Uranus) – Stepping into a new path with trust
Mythic Insight:
Balance isn’t stillness. It’s movement in harmony.
This lunation reminds us: the next right step doesn’t have to be loud—just true.
Practical Tips & Rituals
Re-center your rhythm.
Clear your physical or emotional space. Light a candle with intention. Hold smoky quartz, and anoint your heart or temples with cedarwood to ground into calm. Let each act be a return to what supports you—gently, steadily.
Create a clarity spread or journal moment.
Ask yourself:
What part of me is seeking balance?
What truth am I ready to name?
What action feels nourishing and real?
Revisit your routines.
Not to overhaul them, but to soften or shift where your energy flows. Infuse one simple habit—morning tea, a walk, a moment of stillness—with mindful intention. Let fluorite or moonstone support your clarity as you choose presence over perfection.
Guided Visualization: Aligned Action
Visualize yourself standing at the edge of a quiet field at sunrise. Behind you lies what you’ve outgrown. Ahead—open space, soft light, the first steps of something new.
Feel the calm clarity in your chest.
Feel the weightlessness of knowing what is yours to do.
You begin to walk—not with urgency, but with intention.
Each step becomes an offering to balance, truth, and becoming.

I take action aligned with truth and trust.
Small shifts lead to powerful change.

Waxing Gibbous in Libra - Final Aspect: Moon in Virgo Square Jupiter June 5 - 9, 2025
I’m learning to move forward with grace—refining what matters, and releasing what doesn’t.
Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous in Libra
I’m learning to move forward with grace—refining what matters, and releasing what doesn’t.
As the Moon swells toward fullness, we step into the Waxing Gibbous phase—a time for refinement, preparation, and intentional alignment. Libra’s energy, ruled by Venus, invites balance, connection, creativity, and beauty. It’s not just about harmony—it’s about feeling at peace with your direction.
Libra's influence may stir longing for aesthetic or emotional equilibrium. You may feel tension between wanting to move forward and the urge to pause, polish, or reassess. This phase evokes emotions like indecision, sensitivity to discord, and a desire for validation and unity.
Life example: You’re nearly finished preparing a workshop. Suddenly, you're questioning your visuals or wording—wanting it to feel just right. This Moon asks: does it reflect your voice and invite connection?
Reflection Questions:
Where are you seeking peace or beauty in your process?
Are you creating space for collaboration, or trying to do it all alone?
Final Aspect: Moon in Virgo square Jupiter
This closing moon aspect in Virgo—prior to the Moon entering Libra—forms a square with Jupiter. This tension may feel like a push-pull between practical precision and expansive dreams.
Virgo wants clarity and order. Jupiter seeks meaning, optimism, and growth. This square creates friction that can feel overwhelming—or clarifying. It challenges you to integrate structure with possibility, allowing your ideals to take form with care.
Life example: You might feel tempted to overhaul your entire website for perfection’s sake. But the Virgo–Jupiter square asks: can you refine one page, one message, with meaning and trust that it's enough for now?
Journal Prompt:
“Where am I trying to do too much too fast? What small refinement could bring more clarity and ease?”
Energetic Themes
Seeking balance between intention and execution
Refined decision-making
Harmonizing outer plans with inner alignment
Moving from self-criticism to self-trust
Designing and relating with intention
Life example: You’re reworking your daily routine—not to be rigid, but to support your creativity and your peace of mind. You add 15 minutes of reflection before checking email.
Affirmation: “I move forward with clarity, beauty, and trust.”
Energetic Aligned Intentions
Use this moment not to restart, but to refine what’s already in motion.
Reassess goals for alignment with your values
Clarify next steps in a relationship, collaboration, or creative pursuit
Let go of ideas that feel forceful or off-balance
Edit something you're ready to share soon (a post, offering, proposal)
Journal Prompts:
“What am I refining now to support long-term harmony?”
“Where can I bring more grace into the process?”
“What would feel beautiful and aligned to complete?”

Relational Ritual: Have a reflective conversation with a trusted friend or collaborator. Ask: What mirrors truth back to me right now?

Real Life Ritual: Before sharing your final project draft, take a moment to breathe deeply, read it aloud, and place a rose quartz beside it. Offer it up with clarity and confidence.
Personal Chart Reflection
What house does Libra rule in your chart? That’s where harmony, design, and relational clarity are asking for attention.
Planets near 19–21° of air or earth signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) will feel this Moon–Jupiter square most.
Where is Jupiter transiting your chart? That’s the area of life where wisdom and structure are being called into balance.
Reflection Questions:
“Where do I need to slow down in order to grow wisely?”
“What relationship—internal or external—needs more harmony?”
Sacred Reminder
Growth doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes, it’s about doing differently—with intention, beauty, and balance.
