Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn

   Welcome to the third eclipse of the season at the Capricorn Full Moon, which happens to be sitting very close to the United States Solar return. The US is having a Solar return at 4:59 pm on July 4th, and the Full Moon Eclipse culminates at 12:44 am on the 5th. It feels like we've been having fireworks since the 1st eclipse on June 5th, so let's hope this Full Moon isn't as eventful. Many Fourth of July festivities are cancelled in a lot of communities, and that might be a good thing given the underlying currents that Jupiter has been exacerbating along with Pluto in Capricorn.

   The chart for this Full Moon shows the Sun at 13 Cancer and the Moon at 13 Capricorn. We're still on that axis of safety and security/home and business. The covid virus and dirty politics definitely bring that polarity into full view! We've been on a roller coaster ride of trying to keep our bodies and our homes safe, while figuring out how to get back to work.

   Neptune aligns positively with the Sun and Pluto now to increase opportunities for intuition, creativity and spirituality. Powerful insights can help you make lasting strides in your daily life and yet there is a caution against self-deception,  false prophets and the like. Tune in to your higher self through meditation and listen to your body's reaction to know your own truth.

   Everything feels a bit off  this year for celebrating our national holiday with the virus decimating the health of our country and the world. And yet, the virus is an apt metaphor for the institutional racism built into the foundation of our nation, always lurking beneath the surface to erupt into bigotry, hatred and prejudice whenever the white status quo feels threatened. Just as we seek the answers from science for a cure or a vaccine, so too do we need to look deeply within our own minds and hearts and root out the biases lurking there.

   Let's celebrate the rights of all men, women and children, of all colors and creeds, whatever nationality they may be and the positive efforts being made so that all may one day enjoy the safety of a home, the security of a job and the dignity of a healthy life well-lived. And let's remember to keep our heads in the stars and our feet on the ground.
