Full Moon in Capricorn 2023: How to Leverage July's Buck Moon for Positive Change

The Full Moon in Capricorn builds up when the Sun in Cancer opposes the Moon in Capricorn.

The stark polarity between Cancer and Capricorn creates an atrium of energy that is both mystical and revealing.

Cancer represents water, while Capricorn is an earth sign. However, standing poles apart during the Full Moon, both these signs are feminine in nature and complement each other. These signs work together but churn conflicting energies in the right and left hemispheres of your brain!

Let’s see how you can neutralize these opposing energies and harness them to achieve a greater good.

Cancer denotes the heart and connects with the Yin energy. Supremely feminine in nature, this sign signifies our deep need to nurture others. Its ruling planet is the Moon.

Capricorn, on the other hand, also denotes the Yin energy and is symbolized by the Goat. Its natural ruler is Saturn.

Goat is the powerful symbol of independence, whilst Cancer or Crab doesn't mind being dependent.

Crabs and Goats represent resilience, but they both are markedly different in their unique ways. Capricorn speaks of piercing stoicism and Cancer symbolizes innate sensitivity.

The Moon is all about expanding your emotions, and Saturn deals with limitations and concepts of reality.

So this Full Moon, you’ll see your opposing natures come to the fore. You’ll experience a deep need to serve and nurture others, and at the same time, you’ll also try to push yourself towards your destined potential - all happening as a silent inward process, something that is peculiar to feminine zodiac signs.

Standing at the polarities of your own existence, the energy build-up of this Full Moon will swing you into emotional outbursts. Confusion will play out on your mental screen, but remember that the opposition is always about achieving a fine balance between what you can do and what you must let go.
