The karma police has arrived.
There’s a full moon upon us and a magical culmination is brewing.
Mother moon cycles are both illuminating and transformative, in addition to their ancient mystery and divine feminine frequency. What are you manifesting? How has your summer been going so far? Before we get into how the July 2023 full moon in Capricorn will affect each zodiac sign, it’s important to remember the December 2022 new moon in this cardinal earth sign. If the structure of your personal and professional life has since changed, you’re on the right track.
Remember that the moon represents our deepest emotions, emotional foundation, and sense of security. If the sun represents who we are during the day, the moon represents who we are when no one is present. This is one of the many reasons why paying attention to the lunar cycle can be so beneficial, as it not only validates your intuition but also draws attention to your personal progress. Having said that, the full moon phase is a time of completion, celebration, and fruition. This is when the sun (our ego and physical identity) opposes the moon (our emotions and unconscious mind), signaling a need for balance between the vibrations we project externally and that which we embody internally. The moon’s gravitational pull can cause tidal forces, but it also pulls emotional tides within and around us. And, while the full moon climax can be frightening, it brings enormous growth and timely liberation.
The full moon this month will rise on July 3 at 7:38 a.m. ET, passing through 11 degrees of Saturn-ruled Capricorn. This lunation, also known as the “Buck Moon,” will be closer to Earth and nearly 7% larger than others because it is one of the four supermoons of 2023. The name “Buck Moon” comes from the male deer’s (bucks) antlers, which are in full growth at this time of year. Capricorn, as an astrological archetype, represents the foundation that allows us to solidify our life purpose. What do you want to be remembered for? What would you say to the world once you reached the summit of the mountain? In addition to considering the Capricorn new moon in December 2022, consider where this cardinal earth sign appears in your birth chart. This is the point in your life where you’ve come full circle. Meanwhile, consider Capricorn themes like career, legacy, discipline, and your sense of authority.
The full moon in July marks the halfway point of the calendar year… And, if you think about it, this “check in” from Father Time (Saturn) corresponds to the essence of Capricorn. For example, in addition to whatever is happening for you, this is an opportunity for you to check in with yourself, particularly in terms of personal and professional progress. What have you been up to? What objectives have you recently set for yourself? Are you doing everything possible to succeed in this field? Capricorn does not mince words, and its energy teaches us how to be realistic and grounded in reality. More importantly, with both the sun and Mercury in Cancer, there is a greater emphasis on how we perceive and approach these endeavors emotionally. After all, Capricorn represents the foundation of our lives, whereas Cancer represents how we feel when we get home from work.
It’s time to assert our authority without hesitation. This lunation encourages us to distinguish between what is safe and reassuring and structures and/or systems that no longer serve our best interests. However, because Saturn is retrograde in Pisces, the ruler of this lunation, we are becoming more aware of the ways we unconsciously self-sabotage and/or lack firm boundaries. Fortunately, with the assistance of the Greater Benefic (Jupiter), we are being celestially supported and validated in our future actions.
The upcoming full moon will be inspiring and rewarding if your sun sign, moon sign, or rising sign falls under any of the following zodiac signs. This is why:
How the Full Moon Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign
Aries
It’s time to take a stand, even if it means letting go of an old version of yourself. Everything from your professional life to your sense of authority is highlighted with the moon glimmering through the most public point in your birth chart. More importantly, with Saturn retrograde and transiting your 12th house of surrender and closure, you need to take a step back and make peace with what you can’t control. The sun and Mercury are also congregating in your fourth house of home, family, and emotions, reminding you to rely on the love and support of those close to you. Instead of focusing on what you “lack” or have recently lost, consider and celebrate your accomplishments.
Taurus
Everyone has to start somewhere, right? The full moon in July not only draws attention to the path ahead, but also to where it all began. Because Luna will activate your expansive ninth house of adventure, higher learning, and self-discovery, many of you will likely celebrate the end of a chapter or acknowledge a new-found philosophy of sorts. Keep in mind that the sun and Mercury are both in Cancer, via your third house of communication, siblings, and immediate surroundings. Have you discussed your future plans with your peers? Your intuition is at an all-time high, so listen to your inner voice, especially if you’re thinking about taking a leap of faith.
Gemini
This full moon is particularly significant for you because it activates your eighth house of intimate unions, personal exchanges, and other sources of income. Given that the moon will be in the stern sign of Capricorn, your full-circle moment may revolve around themes of giving and receiving. However, with the moon’s ruler (Saturn retrograde in Pisces) focusing on your bossy 10th house of career, this could very well revolve around your sense of authority at work. What is your ideal “structure” for the future? Are you open and willing to nurture these long-term commitments? With the sun and your celestial ruler, Mercury, in Cancer (your financial second house), an important contract or conversation could be in the works.
Cancer
The full moon in Capricorn in July will activate your committed seventh house of agreements, compromise, negotiations, and significant others, so themes of “me vs. we” are unavoidable. More importantly, with the sun and Mercury in your sign, there is a greater emphasis on the dynamic of your conversations, particularly those centered on your deepest feelings. Furthermore, the ruler of this lunation (Saturn retrograde) is currently transiting your ninth house of belief systems and long-term pursuits, so this “pow wow” is likely to be significant. Meanwhile, consider whether these collaborations or contractual agreements truly align with your true North.
Leo
Under this month’s full moon, everything from your health to your day-to-day responsibilities takes precedence. The moon, for example, will land in your sixth house of responsibility, daily duties, and acts of service, but it will do so while sitting across from Mercury and your planetary ruler, the sun. With the Moon in your 12th house of privacy and unconscious patterns, you’re being asked to consider the dynamics of your life behind the scenes, as well as your motivations in your day-to-day affairs. After all, with Saturn retrograde (the lunation’s ruler) transiting your eighth house of shared resources, you may be reconsidering the worth of your sacrifices and commitments.
Virgo
Make room for your accolades and accomplishments, because they are certainly worthy of recognition. This is particularly true with the moon in Capricorn, your fifth house of recognition, authenticity, and self-expression. Keep in mind that this area of your horoscope can also speak to your creativity and talents, so some of you may be learning a new skill. Furthermore, with the sun and Mercury in Cancer—via your 11th house of community affairs and future aspirations—it’s important to consider whether you’re surrounded by the right people. With Saturn retrograde (ruler of this lunation) transiting your relationship sector, you are encouraged to set firm boundaries with others.
Libra
Even though home is where the heart is, it takes work! The full moon will shine a light on your domestic fourth house of home, family, and emotional foundations, bringing to light everything from your deepest feelings to the foundation of your family unit. What traditions and structures no longer resonate with you? Given that the sun and Mercury will both be transiting your 10th house of superiors, this could involve a parental figure, if not your overall sense of authority. Despite the fact that Saturn is retrograde (ruler of this lunation) in your sixth house of diligence and acts of service, one thing is certain: you’re restructuring your daily affairs and asserting yourself when it comes to your personal boundaries.
Scorpio
Have you been communicating with integrity and honesty? This is especially important to consider with the full moon in your third house of immediate exchanges and daily miscellanea, particularly through a disciplined and structured sign like Capricorn. To put it another way, it’s one thing to agree to something and quite another to keep your word. It also doesn’t hurt to reflect on what was on your mind in December 2022, whether personally or professionally, as you are experiencing a full-circle moment in this area of life. With the ruler of this lunation (Saturn retrograde) hovering over your fifth house of musings, recognition, and self-expression, many of you are also thinking about personal branding themes. Mercury and the sun in Cancer, on the other hand, want you to stay true to yourself throughout the process.
Sagittarius
What gives you confidence? Do you have a financial goal in mind? The full moon in July will energize your second house of values, finances, and security, but there’s more. The sun and Mercury (your relationship sector’s ruler) will be in your eighth house of intimate unions and shared resources. It’s not always easy to bring up sensitive subjects, especially when it comes to money and creature comforts. These are deeply personal issues, but with Saturn retrograde (ruler of this lunation) transiting your fourth house of home and emotional foundations, it’s critical to address what’s been unconsciously impeding and impeding your progress. Toxic family dynamics can be overcome.
Capricorn
Look up at the moon, and make a wish! The moon will reach its fullness in your sign while sitting in direct opposition to the sun and Mercury in Cancer, through your committed seventh house of agreements, compromise, and significant others. This means that, despite the emphasis and focus on your relationships, you are being called to honor your sense of authority and, possibly, communicate this truth to a significant other. This is a call for balance, especially when it comes to “me vs. we” themes. And with your planetary ruler (Saturn retrograde) in your third house, it’s no surprise that everything from your relationship(s) with your siblings to your communication style is being tested at this time.
Aquarius
There is a time and a place for everything, but the full moon in July encourages you to take a step back and check in with your higher self. Luna will make an appearance in your natal chart’s most private sector, the 12th house of closure, dreams, and unconscious patterns. This house is similar to themes of surrender and coping mechanisms. With the sun and Mercury agitating your sixth house of work routines and day-to-day due diligence, you are reminded to rely on your peers for support and to speak up when assistance is required. Have you been sacrificing your health in order to stay in charge and in control? Saturn retrograde (the lunation’s ruler) is asking you to be brutally honest with yourself, as well as with your financial and spiritual investments.
Pisces
Some believe that the people we associate with reflect who we are. And, as the moon approaches fullness in Capricorn—via your 11th house of associations, community affairs, and aspirations—many of you are experiencing a full-circle moment in terms of your ideals, future visions, and sense of belonging in the world. Have you surrounded yourself with people who share your values? The sun and Mercury will be directly across from the moon in Cancer, via your fifth house of authenticity, creativity, and self-love, encouraging you to express yourself and stay true to your heart’s desires. What’s the best part? The lunation’s ruler (Saturn retrograde) is currently transiting your sign, assisting you in achieving the self-mastery you seek. Are you dedicated to achieving the personal and professional success you desire?
