Moon in Capricorn

Moon into Aquarius

The energy today is much like it was yesterday…but somehow different.

The Moon is still in Capricorn, Jupiter and Pluto are still facing off.

Today, though, the Moon is void if course…and that changes things.

As we’ve spoken about before, when the Moon is void, you go either into the best and purest of the energy that particular sign has to offer…or you go into the shadow.

It can- and often does- go either way.

The positive side of Capricorn is great for head down, bum up, get it done, move on type of stuff. It’s perfect for business, strategy and planning. It’s also, like all the Earth signs, great for having body work done- which is why I had an acupuncture and physical therapy session for that errant calf muscle of mine. Apparently the acute stage is done and, according to my therapist, I’m now into the torture zone. He was right. Anyways, Capricorn is good for that. The hard work and achievement was never meant to be easy stuff.

On the other hand, it’s also good for the doldrums- and we’ve all been there. Where you can’t be bothered getting it done because no one is going to appreciate it, recognise it, buy it, read it, publish it, see it, pay for it. It’s when we look at others and what they’ve achieved, what they have, the house they live in, the money they earn, the publishing contracts they have (grrrrr), the schools their kids go to, the holidays they have, and we wonder why we haven’t done the same. They’ve got lucky, we say. They must know someone, have family money, slept with the boss… Logically we know, though, that Saturn and hard work has a lot to do with luck…Logically we know that they put the hard yards in so were able to take the opportunity when it came up. Logically we know that their life isn’t perfect…ok, maybe we don’t know that…

Anyways, you can be prone to melancholy under a void Capricorn Moon.

The Jupiter/Pluto opposition is providing a deeper, more intense layer this month. It’s a hunger.

I often associate hunger- and horniness…and yes, they’re very similar…with Pluto. Given that Jupiter and Cancer are involved, it’s a deep, soul based, know it in your waters type of hunger.

It’s also the type of hunger than when channelled can lead to mega breakthroughs, or the type of hunger that will have you swallowing everything in sight- as if in a binge you can somehow satisfy what it is you really yearn for.

I did it yesterday- thankfully there was only crispbreads, chicken stock, rice noodles and steamed chicken in my house. Now there is not. My belly was full, but the hunger remained.

You’ll be most prone to this if (consciously or otherwise) you’ve slipped into the Capricorn why bother no one will notice, respect it, read it etc etc shadow, or if you’ve slipped into the Cancer it’s not quite ready, I don’t feel safe enough, what if they hate me shadow.

Be honest.

In other news, the Moon is now deeply balsamic, so finish what needs to be finished. I’ll be back later with a New Moon post.
