Today’s July Full Moon in Capricorn asks some hard questions

The next Full Moon is coming! For Australians it will arrive on 11 July. Although, its early morning peak means that the Moon will indeed appear full on the evening of 10 July too.

For those on the Eastern side of Australia, expect it at 6:36am. For those in Darwin and Adelaide, your Moon peak is at 6:06am and for Perth residents it's at 4:36am.

This particular Full Moon, called The Buck Full Moon, comes to us in the Earth sign of Capricorn. What does this mean exactly? This Full unlocks your drive and focus. You'll be ready to throw yourself headfirst into new projects. It will also give you the pep you need to evaluate your career and your relationship – and recalibrate if needed. Here's everything you need to know about the Full Moon in Capricorn and what it means for you.

 

What does the Full Moon in Capricorn mean for you?

Astrologically speaking, the Full Moon is the energetic peak of the Moon Cycle. Ever heard those old tales and urban legends about increased crime or even more women going into labour around the Full Moon? It's because this is considered to be a period of heightened energy, moodiness, emotions and illumination.

Whether or not the stories are true, in astrology, the Moon is our connection to our inner and emotional self. And a Full Moon brings that part of ourselves into deeper focus. It can feel tender and raw but it can also help us see things from new perspective. In July, the Full Moon falls into Capricorn bringing out our inner workhorse. This placement is one that can make us feel more connected to our careers, but also more deeply analyse how we fit into our spaces and responsibilities. With Saturn going into retrograde shortly after this Full Moon, we may be forced to evaluate what needs to change.

In a way, this Full Moon could act like a cosmic mirror, reflecting back the truth of our current place in the world. For Earth signs, the need to feel as though you're achieving something will be most critical in this moment. Talking in circles without results will breed resentment. Our Air signs value cultural and social alignments above all else. Situations – whether parties, team sports or workplaces – feel empty and meaningless without feeling a genuine human connection. Progression and growth are an itch that needs to be scratched for Fire signs. Just beware that vanity titles may not get you the respect and recognition you actually crave. Water signs will need to feel acknowledged. Having your honest gestures and acts of service go unrecognised and unappreciated feels particularly emotionally draining.

 

Romantic relationships could feel volatile

At this time, we see Venus in Gemini is squaring off against Mars in Virgo. This particular combination is highly charged, leaving a very fine line between love and hate. This is not the most ideal time to be having difficult conversations with your loved ones. And anything you do have to say needs to come from a genuinely good place. Empty or provocative words will not be met kindly. It is always better to take a beat and decompress rather than speaking out of anger. As the Capricorn Moon forces us to question our current trajectory, you may need to ask yourself if the person you're currently with is helping you flourish – or holding you back from your true path.

 

Pay particular attention to your career

With the Moon favourably angling against Mars in a harmonious trine, we'll be pushed to take action. More than that, we'll finally have the emotional energy to follow through. Capricorn is a naturally hard worker that favours pragmatism, with very little tolerance for phony airs and graces. It is a sign that prefers to cut through any nonsense and delve into the nitty gritty. It can be confrontational energy, especially when it comes to matters that affect your career. But with Mars lighting up our desire for movement, the urge to stick your hand up for that challenging new project, apply for that aspirational role or even to ask your boss for a pay increase will feel more tangible. There is a deep sense of inner satisfaction to be found in achieving your goals.

With our teacher Saturn heading into retrograde, remember hard-learnt lessons will be rewarded. As long as you are truly willing to absorb and grow from your current path, any tenacity and hard work will be rewarded. So, don't be afraid to ask for what you want if you know that you truly deserve it.
