I experience life to the utmost, reaching eagerly and without fear.
I discover my unique strengths, which allow me to accomplish my higher purpose.
I live with kindness at the heart of every day, and compassion at the root of every action.

Full Moon Capricorn 1°06’ | Friday 6/21/24 at 6:08 p.m. PDT

"Capricorn wants each of us to live a life of purpose. Your purpose is something that comes from deep within your soul. It is how you extend the roots of your being into the world. Capricorn is also associated with integrity. This energy wants us to show up in the world standing firmly in our truth. It challenges us to be the same person no matter where we are, who we are with, or what situation arises. Furthermore, having integrity means we interact with the world consistently in a way that matches our core ideals and beliefs. When we are fully aligned with Capricorn, we live a purposeful life that resonates with our core values. We extend our truth into the world from a firm foundation rooted in the soul. We also understand that part of our life’s work is to find the truth of our being and fully understand who we are in is this lifetime.

The Capricorn Full Moon is a time to go within and understand your core essence. It’s a time to commit to finding your purpose and shed anything that distracts you, including your emotions. Your feelings are important to pay attention to and understand, but Capricorn asks that you see them as information. They do not define you, but they can give you clues to what is most important to you. Emotions do not need to be a distraction from your purpose. They can be a doorway to finding out who you are and what matters most to your soul."

"The Full Moon peaks at 6:07 p.m. PDT on Friday, June 21, when the Moon is at 01°07' Capricorn and the Sun is exactly opposite, at the same degree of Cancer. This lunation invites us to find a healthy balance between the qualities associated with the two opposing signs: between objectivity and subjectivity, between capability and vulnerability, between outer accomplishment and inner nourishment, between fulfilling a sense of purpose and meeting our emotional needs."

Sacred Play, Wild Abundance, and Dionysian Delight

As we pull out our dancing shoes and get ready for Santa Barbara's 50th Annual Summer Solstice Parade this Saturday 6/22, we tap into the significance of sacred play, solar energy, and the energies of Capricorn and its ruler Saturn.

Our intuitive reader Kris Seraphine has a beautiful article on this topic, and one of the many strands she weaves is the idea of the Devil Card, specifically as introduced by James Wanless in his Voyager Tarot.

You can read the entire article "Ambrosia of Abundance: Full Moon in Capricorn", which includes more tarot correspondences, essential oils, and an abundance consecration ritual.

‍

The Devil, Major Arcana XV

‍Symbolism: In the tarot, this is the traditional card that represents both the planet Saturn and the sign of Capricorn. The Devil stands on a pedestal, holding a torch downwards. Below, a man and woman are chained to the pedestal, their chains loose, symbolizing self-imposed bondage and limitation.

Guidance: During this full moon, it urges us to examine our material attachments and break free from self-imposed limitations, aligning with Capricorn’s focus on discipline and responsibility. As an alternate meaning of the Devil card, I often refer to James Wanless’ interpretation in the Voyager Tarot:

“Devil spelled backwards is ‘lived.’ Devil’s Play means to live fully and joyously, and to work and play to the point where play and work are the same. Celebrate the energy of your creative energy.”

‍

Devil's Play (XV) is the Law of celebration in action;
‍it is saturnine discipline hidden under purple velvet;
it is the giggling laughter at obedience denied;
It is dancing in the rain
or galloping with moonlight.
The energy of Devil's Play is relaxed and free.
It reverses your marching beat and allows
fire and music to dance you
in Dionysian delight.

~a brief extract from the Voyager Tarot Companion by R. Lloyd Hegland

‍

"As we focus our collective magic on abundance and prosperity for all, we help beings on this planet remember that the source of our abundance is within our hearts. If we connect with Divine Abundance centered in our hearts first and foremost, we will always remain both in overflow and in balance."
