Practicing Our Way Into The Unknown
Capricorn Full Moon | Wednesday | July 13, 2022 | 1:37pm CST
Wednesday’s Capricorn full moon is a step into the brambles, the thickest section of the hedge. Since the portal of this full moon is conjunct hell’s own gatekeeper Pluto, this is a place where there are thorns that will fuck with our flesh. But of our own volition or dragged by the gods, we go in, because the time is now to make sacrifices of our comfort to attend to an ambition, an aspiration.
What we want to be in connection with as we go then, is our aspiration. Did you learn anything about this at the new moon in Cancer two weeks ago? Go see what your heart was yearning for during that time. Now is a culmination of that cycle. The stage lights crackle from the ceiling and shine unapologetically into the eyes of your heart’s desire. There is a show to be put on here, and some things it will require are your truth and your vulnerability.
One theme of that new moon that today’s full moon expands upon was the transient taste of belonging. Belonging that cannot be complete, belonging that we have to build brick by brick. Belonging that we have to create new and innovative structures to house, because we will not find the formulas pre-existing.
That is because a full moon in Capricorn, conjunct Pluto, shows us the failures of pre-existing systems. It shows us which of our practices need the demolition ball, and it shows us how the attachments that keep us from transforming our practices also need renovation.
Square Chiron in Aries, this full moon moment indicates that our egos need to break. Don’t let the idea of who you should be lead you to fight your own energy. Own your energy, surrender to your energy, and see what shapes you begin creating around you, what kind of conversations arise.
Pluto supports us in alchemizing at deep levels. It helps us connect with change whether we want it or not. If we can dare to want the change, there’s opportunity under these skies to redefine success on our own terms. The definition of success in our own ambitions needs to come from ourselves right now. Locate and distill your own values, and measure your success to that standard.
Processes of change can create conflict between what was and what is becoming. Malidoma Somé offers: “Conflict is the spirit of the relationship asking itself to deepen.” For any relationship to shift into its depths, we have to tell our truths while also believing the truths others are telling us about themselves. From there we can understand the authentic shape a relationship would like to take, and from there we can begin coding the DNA for its skeleton, as every relationship between you and any entity is an entity in itself.
Venus trines Saturn and squares Neptune. Whatever portals we may begin coltishly stumbling into, with practice we can grow our faith in what we begin building here. There is extra-dimensional access during this time as though a strange wet wind carrying seeds from an elsewhere were breathing something new into the earth. Connect with the unseen, flirt with the impossible. Dream the unknown, and practice your way into it. Rinse, repeat.
With love,
