Full Moon in Capricorn| Sunday 7/21/24 at 3:18AM PT

July brings us the Buck Moon or Salmon Moon, symbolizing renewal and rebirth. It also brings a second Full Moon in Capricorn in a row. It’s not often we get to experience two consecutive full moons in the same zodiac sign. We have a rare opportunity to revisit our intentions set forth last month and make any revisions as necessary. Embrace changes as they come, and maintain your awareness of what is occurring.

"The second Full Moon in Capricorn at the end of Cancer Season serves as a powerful moment of closure, providing a reflective space to process the vast array of feelings stirred during this period. It offers a unique opportunity to convert these emotions into intuitively aligned actions as we transition away from Cancer Season. The Full Moon brings the emotional discernment to decide what we need to continue to work with and what we need to release. This Full Moon is a powerful one and has the potential to become our guiding light for the rest of the year." ~@SpiritDaughter

"Not only is the second Full Moon in Capricorn, but it’s also occurring at 29 degrees, which is a critical degree in astrology. Critical degrees are known as “anaretic degrees,” suggesting that the final degree is a “degree of fate.” The anaretic degree marks the true end of an era, so its energy may feel like running the last mile in a marathon. You know there’s an end in sight, but it will take all of your strength to complete the cycle. There will be an overwhelming sense of urgency to complete, do, or act on something during this lunation." ~Liz Simmons, Style Caster

‍

The anaretic degree, occurring at 29 degrees of any sign, is considered the most intense and transformative. It's a moment that demands our full attention and presence. As this Full Moon illuminates the final degree of Capricorn, it asks us to look deeply at our goals, ambitions, and the structures we have built in our lives. It’s a call to finalize projects, make decisions, and step into the next phase with clarity and determination.

‍

Practical Tips for Harnessing the Full Moon Energy:

1. Reflect and Journal: Take time to write down your thoughts, feelings, and any patterns you’ve noticed since the last Full Moon. What progress have you made? What needs adjustment?
2. Release Ritual: Create a small ceremony to release what no longer serves you. This can be as simple as writing down what you wish to let go of and burning the paper safely.
3. Set Intentions: With the clarity gained, set new intentions for the coming month. Focus on what you wish to manifest and the steps needed to achieve these goals.
4. Ground Yourself: Spend time in nature or engage in grounding activities like yoga or meditation to help stabilize the potent energy of this Full Moon          

Embrace this powerful moment and allow the Full Moon in Capricorn to guide you towards a path of transformation and renewal. Remember, the journey may be challenging, but the rewards of persistence and resilience are invaluable.

Full Moon Ritual

"Lammas is a time of the fullness of life, and a celebration of the bountiful and abundant Mumma Earth. The main themes of Lammas are to give big thanks, high fives and deep bows to the Goddess for Her bountiful harvest, and to state your hopes and intentions for what you wish to harvest, sacrifice, or transform."

~ Lisa Lister in Witch: Unleashed. Untamed. Unapologetic.

Celebrating Lammas: The First Harvest Festival

1. Bake and Share Bread: Gather with friends and family to bake bread. As you knead the dough, infuse it with your gratitude and intentions. Share the freshly baked bread with those around you, symbolizing unity and abundance.
2. Reflect on Your Harvests: Consider the goals you’ve set and the progress you’ve made. Celebrate your accomplishments, both big and small, and set new intentions for the months ahead.
3. Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors, appreciating the beauty and abundance of the natural world. Whether it’s a walk in the park, tending to your garden, or simply sitting under a tree, let nature’s rhythms inspire and ground you.
4. Give Thanks: Express gratitude for the abundance in your life. This could be through journaling, creating art, or simply taking a moment to reflect. Recognize the people, experiences, and gifts that have enriched your journey.

As we honor Lammas, let us remember that life is a continuous cycle of sowing, growing, harvesting, and resting. May this festival inspire you to embrace the fullness of the season, celebrate your personal harvests, and look forward to the abundance yet to come.

Happy Lammas! May your days be filled with joy, gratitude, and the richness of life's harvest.
