 | Capricorn Lunation Full Phase Capricorn Sun Virgo Moon |
The Full phase begins at the exact opposition of the Sun and the Moon, which occurred in this cycle at 11:48 pm Hawaii Time on Friday, January 13 with the Sun at 24 Capricorn 05 and the Moon at 24 Cancer 05 (in the Tropical Zodiac).
The Sun has continued to move through Capricorn at about a degree a day and the Moon has moved into Virgo, but the phase doesn't end until 2:50 am HT, on January 18 when the Moon makes a 225 degree aspect to the Sun at the beginning of the Disseminating phase.
When the Sun is directly opposite the Moon, its light shines fully on the Moon's face and is reflected back to earth making it appear as a slivery white circular disk. The light that is reflected illuminates the night sky and allows us to navigate the dark landscapes of our lives.
Symbolically, the Solar principle represents the conscious mind, the awareness of the self as an energetic being with a spiritual essence. Its radiant light guides us to the fulfillment of our purpose and potential.
The Moon, on the other hand, represents the unconscious mind and the instinctive body, the intuitive understanding of the self as a physical and emotional being that nurtures the creative source. The lunar energy illuminates our process and directs our progress.
As with all oppositions, the Full phase highlights relationship polarities. The sign Capricorn is associated with professional or public status. Cancer is associated with home and family. The goal of the last few days has been to find balance between two of the most important areas of life.
Here's how it played out for me. A few hours prior to the Capricorn New Moon on December 30, my 78 year-old mother-in-law, who lives with us, fell and broke 4 ribs. Without going into excessive detail, she came home from the hospital 2 days ago. This Full phase has certainly highlighted the relationship between my career and family situations.
I will share what I have learned over the course of the next few days. Meanwhile, I will post this now before the hour grows later.
