So… about this Full Moon…

It’s not your imagination; it’s a lot.

It’s the first Full Moon with all of the outer planets in ASSERTIVE signs. And she’s IN a sign that has been weaponized into a more assertive disposition than the sign is meant to have!

Huh?

Here’s what I mean: Capricorn (the sign the Full Moon is in, in a few hours) is constantly referred to as the worker sign, the achiever sign, the go-go-GOAT sign, always climbing another mountain (usually straight up), never clocking out, and certainly never resting (“I’ll rest when I’m dead, she says”).

It’s worn as a badge of honor for many Capricorns… and it’s possibly a badge they don’t even enjoy wearing, deep down.

See… the thing is, the Moon is all about how we get our needs met. How we rest and restore. How we intuit emotions in others. How we experience our own lives through feelings.

Over time, the Capricorn Full Moon has become an almost painful juxtaposition. The success that Capricorn is so good at achieving has been so consistently associated with hustle-culture expressions that we forget the Moon itself is about the MORE important things in life.

That we are safe.
That we feel held.
That we have a home.
That we feel centered as we take up space.
That we get to define what constitutes FAMILY in our lives.

So, here’s what I’ll suggest:

In honor of today’s Full Moon in Capricorn, notice where you can begin to RELEASE overwork, attachment to hustle culture, any tethering of your enoughness TO the amount of work you’re able to do (especially when that “work” is less about your dreams and more about what we’re supposed to do).

Bonus points if you can notice where in your chart you’re able to feel this attachment between achievement and self-worth relaxing a little bit. (If you’re texting with me — see above — we can get that figured out if you need help.)

More than anything, I hope you take a little time today to connect with nature, connect with your breath, connect with yourself authentically.

What a lovely to-do list, right?

Before I sign off, a status update on a few things:

~ the latest episode of my new podcast is below (It’s about mah birfday!)

~ I successfully created a Jupiter-in-Cancer session for this amazing year of growth and expansion

~ my list o’ events has been updated through the end of September

Hooray!

Even if you don’t do anything to mark today’s Full Moon, you should feel a bit less pressure (especially on your dang B O N E S) after 2pm PDT.

Hope you’re celebrating every moment that feels GOOD *and* having fewer moments that feel less-than-good.

So much love flowing your way,
