This Full Moon rises at 18° Capricorn, a degree tied to perseverance, endurance, and sacred responsibility. In numerology, 18 reduces to 9, the number of the wise teacher and the soul that completes cycles with grace. It’s a number that understands: in order to evolve, we must release.

Capricorn is the sea goat, a symbol of dual mastery, rooted in the earthly realm of strategy and ambition, while also swimming through the emotional depths of the unconscious. This full moon brings us a steady, serious energy. The Moon, ruler of emotion, wears Capricorn’s armor now, inviting us to feel responsibly, to process practically, and to lead ourselves with wisdom.

We’re asked to step up, to take accountability for our actions, our emotions, and our vision for the future. This lunation is less about dreamy expansion and more about soulful commitment. Can you stay devoted to your growth even when it’s uncomfortable? Can you show up with discipline, not just desire?

Mars is well-positioned to ignite our drive, offering momentum to move forward with clarity and courage. But with Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto preparing to retrograde later this month, this moment is precious. Tidy loose ends, complete tasks, and refine your direction. Retrograde season will ask us to slow down, reflect, and restructure.

Enter Eris, the goddess of discord, activating tension that may feel like cracks in the foundation. But she doesn’t stir chaos for the sake of it, she pushes us to confront what’s out of alignment so we can rise into higher integrity. Her presence reminds us that discomfort is a sign of transformation on the horizon.
