Be sure to read your horoscope for your sun, moon and rising sign!

Powerful shifts and fresh beginnings are on the horizon! The Pisces Lunar Eclipse clears away what you’re ready to release, while the Virgo Solar Eclipse plants the seeds for new opportunities. With Mercury and Venus offering supportive energy and Mars entering Scorpio later in the month, September is an ideal time to take action and bring your ideas to life.

Capricorn Tarot Messages for August 2024: Six of Wands

Six of Wands from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

Hi Capricorn sun & rising! August is looking good for you, with the Six of Wands as your tarot card theme. This card is all about victory, recognition, and an overall feeling of achievement. As I recall, you had the four of wands last month, so it appears you have some positive momentum happening here! Obviously, you’ve been working hard, Capricorn, and you are seeing the rewards of your efforts. This is an auspicious card for any aspect of your life where you have been putting in time and effort. Whether it’s a project at work, a professional goal, or something you’ve been striving for in your personal life, my Capricorns are riding high on the wave of success!

As we see in this card’s image, the character is the center of attention in a parade. If you have not been recognized already, you may find that others are noticing your skills and/or accomplishments. Others of you may be preparing for an important presentation to land a big account or a court case for example. If this card symbolizes a victory for you, most likely you had to fight a few metaphorical battles to get here, for sure it was not easy. Pat yourself on the back Capricorn, you’ve earned it! Whatever is going on for you this month, go ahead and step into the spotlight and let your confidence shine. I know my Capricorns like to let the results speak for itself, we all know you are not the boastful type. But you have to admit, it’s nice to have others acknowledge your hard work. You have every right to feel proud.

In your personal life and relationships, the uplifting energy of the Six of Wands may have my Capricorns out there wanting to shake things up a little bit by doing something spontaneous and different. Often when this card comes up in a client reading, the motto is “I’ve been there, done that, I’m ready for what’s next”.

You may be excited to set a new personal goal. Travel and new experiences are also indicated with this card. Keep in mind we have Mercury retrograde this month, so there could be minor delays or misunderstandings which may require extra time and/or patience on your part. However, overall, the Six of Wands as your tarot theme and the energy I am intuitively picking up, indicates that your relationships and personal endeavors will be quite harmonious for most of you. If you are in a relationship, have fun with your partner. If you are single, put yourself out there. See how the character in this card has his horse reined back, controlling the pace? No major shake-ups here. Everything is progressing slow and steady. You’ve got this Capricorn.

By the end of August, when Mercury goes direct again, this will be an opportune time to take serious action on your goals or to proceed with the next steps on a plan or project. You will find that the overall energies will be conducive to working with you. Keep the momentum going Capricorn.

I’m proud of you Capricorn, have a great month! ❤

Capricorn Full Moon 7/24/24

Four of Pentacles & Four of Cups from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This is a special full moon, as it is the second consecutive full moon in the sign of Capricorn in the last 30 days! The previous one was on June 21st. Having two full moons back to back occur in the same sign is quite rare. Consider this a second chance for us to address the Capricorn themed areas of our life. As this moon occurs on the 29th degree of this sign, this is your message to make those final revisions and/or get moving to implement plans or goals that were put into place last month. For some of you, this full moon may coincide with, or urge you to, make an important decision or have the final word, such as in a conversation or this could be your signature on a document or contract.

Let’s discuss the tarot cards associated with this transit to see what insights they have for us!

First, we have the Four of Pentacles which represents the Moon in Capricorn. There’s a strong focus on your responsibilities and ambitions with this card. Often it comes up in my readings when the message is to be frugal with your finances and to be mindful of where your resources are going.

Fours in the tarot represent stability, and the element of earth speaks of physical, tangible things that are pertinent to our survival, such as our health, money, career, home, etc. More than ever nowadays, it is important for everyone to review their goals and spending to be sure you are building a solid foundation for the future. But be careful of becoming overly rigid with your finances (i.e., pennywise and dollar foolish). The energy of Capricorn encourages us to be disciplined and responsible, but to also maintain a healthy balance between frugal and “cheap”.

The Four of Cups corresponds to the Sun in Cancer. This card has a cynical vibe to it. You could be feeling a bit stuck or dissatisfied, even though most likely, you have good things around you. With the Sun in the sign of Cancer opposite this full moon, collectively, we might be feeling more sensitive than usual. If you have been feeling bored or unfulfilled lately, this is a reminder to look within and see why you are feeling that way. Your intuition may be nudging you to make some changes.

So, how you balance these energies to make the most of this Capricorn full moon? It’s a great time for reflection and planning. Take a moment to appreciate what you have now and what you’ve achieved in the last 30 days (it’s probably more than you realize), and to think about what your next steps should be on a goal, plan or project. Budget funds to take care of routine maintenance and small repairs to cross them off your “to do” list and to prevent larger problems in the future.

The Four of Cups can indicate burnout. Remember to balance your hard work with self-care. Try to break up your routine once a while to freshen up your mental outlook. Be on the lookout for opportunities and blessings that appear in unexpected ways, and try to practice an “attitude of gratitude” whenever possible.

As full moons can signifiy a time of completion, it may be time to let go of things that no longer serve you or that have become an energy or financial drain. This will give you some peace of mind and make space for the aforementioned opportunities and blessings to come in!

For my crystal loving friends, below are some excellent crystals that resonate with the Capricorn energy:

1. Garnet: Known for both its grounding and energizing properties, garnet helps us to stay focused on our goals and enhances our vitality.

2. Black Onyx: This stone protects us from negative energy and fosters emotional stability.

3. Smoky Quartz: A grounding stone, smoky quartz helps us connect to the earth, and helps us stay focused on our ambitions. It also is effective at dispelling negative energy and promotes a practical, yet positive mental outlook.

4. Fluorite: Known for its ability to enhance mental clarity and focus, fluorite can help us stay organized and efficient. It also supports decision-making and problem-solving.

5. Black Tourmaline: This protective stone can help shield us from negative energy, helping us stay grounded. Wearing or holding black tourmaline promotes a feeling of security and security. This stone can be too “heavy” for very sensitive people, so you may need to experiment with this stone.

6. Hematite: A grounding and balancing stone, hematite is very effective at keeping us focused on the task at hand. It also enhances strength and endurance. This is another “heavy” stone, so if you are sensitive, just like with black tourmaline above, pay attention to how you feel when working with it.

7. Tiger’s Eye: Known for its ability to enhance willpower and courage, tiger’s eye can help us stay determined and confident when pursuing our goals.

8. Malachite: This stone of transformation can help us release negative patterns and encourages us to flow with positive change. It is also an effective stone for protection, it’s green color corresponds with money and abundance, and it fosters emotional balance and personal growth. Malachite is one of my favorites!

Have a great full moon everyone!

Full Moon in Capricorn 6/21/24

This full moon is particularly interesting because it marks the beginning of a unique lunar cycle. It is the first in a pair of consecutive full moons in the sign of Capricorn, with the second one occurring on July 21st. Another interesting aspect is the precise astrological positioning of these moons. This full moon occurs at 1 degree Capricorn, while the next one will be at 29 degrees.

As Capricorn is a cardinal sign, the first degree signifies new beginnings and fresh initiatives, whereas the 29th degree, also known as the anaretic degree in astrology, signifies completion. It often carries with it a sense of urgency to conclude matters before transitioning into the next phase. Together, these two full moons bookend the entire spectrum of Capricorn’s influence, from initiation to culmination, offering a profound opportunity for reflection, release and growth within a 30 day cycle.

The tarot cards that correspond with this full moon are the Two of Pentacles and the Two of Cups.

The Two of Pentacles is linked to Capricorn and is about balance, adaptability, decisions, and handling multiple tasks or responsibilities at once. I’m sure all of you out there can relate to this card!

The Two of Cups represents the Sun in Cancer and signifies emotional connections, partnerships, and harmony in our relationships. This card encourages us to network with others as well as reminds us to nurture the relationships that foster mutual respect and support our well-being. This can be romantic or otherwise.

This full moon is highlighting the question of what constitutes a healthy work and personal life balance for us. The prevailing theme suggests that there are decisions to be made regarding practical matters, and this may involve a discussion on the home front (depending on your circumstances). Full moons typically symbolize a time of release, and this one aligns closely to the summer solstice, which denotes a change in the season. Have you detected a “change of seasons” in your home or work life that is inspiring you to make a change or to let some things go?

Let’s look at the two of pentacles card. If the two of pentacles image is a temporary situation for you, such as working and going to school, working multiple jobs or overtime for some extra cash, etc., you know that this is temporary and you’ve got it handled.

However, if on the other hand, you feel as if you are treading water just to stay afloat and are not gaining traction despite your efforts, this full moon in Capricorn is asking you to put pencil to paper, and to reflect on how you can implement beneficial changes that support financial sustainability while also taking into account the overall health and well-being of yourself and those you care about.

As Capricorn is a practical energy that likes to have a plan, I thought journaling prompts would be an excellent way to work with this auspicious moon. Here are a few to get you started:

1) What manageable, initial steps can I take in the next 30 days to get the ball rolling on a beneficial change, long-term plan or goal?

2) Where have I made progress (personal or professional) in the last six months? What have I learned from the experience? How can I integrate this wisdom for success in future endeavors?

3) Is my current life pace sustainable? Do I need to set boundaries, say “no” more often, or implement a more structured daily routine that supports my objectives as well as helps me to maintain my focus and productivity?

4) Do I have items that I no longer use that I could sell for extra cash or donate to make space for my current goals?

5) Which personal relationships would benefit from my increased presence and effort? How can I enhance these connections?

6) What steps can I take to improve my financial situation? Is it time to make a change, cancel or renegotiate services, create a budget, or develop an investment strategy for the future? What do I need to do to foster the self-discipline required to stick with the plan?

A few crystals that you can wear or carry with you that may help to ground your energy as you solidify your plans or goals are: smoky quartz, garnet, tigers eye, red jasper, rose quartz, aragonite, black obsidian, black tourmaline, lepidolite, snowflake obsidian, malachite, hematite, sodalite.

Tarot message this week w/an emphasis on the Full Super Moon in Capricorn

Tarot & oracle cards for the Capricorn Full Super Moon 7/13/22

Tarot message of the week w/an emphasis on the Capricorn Super Moon:

On July 13th, we have a full super moon in the sign of Capricorn. A super moon occurs when the moon’s orbit is in its closest proximity to the earth, while in its full moon phase. Visually, a super moon appears larger, and up to 30% brighter in comparison to other full moons. As such, super moons tend to bring deep, hidden truths to the surface. In the sign of Capricorn, themes centered around time, money, career, karma, long standing structures, authority figures & investments are highlighted.

Capricorn is not a “warm and fuzzy” energy. It balances out the nurturing, emotional waters of Cancer with a mature, no-nonsense, practical perspective.

The moon in Capricorn is encouraging us to put our feelings aside in order to clearly assess the facts of a situation. What in your life is no longer a “viable investment” for your time, energy and/or money? Depending on what this is for you, admitting the truth, can be a tough pill to swallow. Perhaps this is why you’ve been putting off letting it go or hesitating on making a necessary change. Look at the images in the four of pentacles and four of cups. The tarot cards that correspond to this full moon. Both of them are portraying a “closed” energy and lack of movement.

This realization although disheartening, can also set us free. When we continue to put our resources into something that is no longer serving our best interests, or when we allow what is past its expiration date to remain in our space, it takes its toll on our psyche. We become so focused on trying to “make this fit” or “make this work” that we are unable to see that in reality, like a potted plant that has outgrown its vessel, we too, have outgrown this, and are ready to begin something new.

Hecate & The World card is a reminder that everything has its season. A cycle ends, a new one begins.

Capricorn full moon crystal suggestions: Black tourmaline, black obsidian, black onyx, tigers eye, red jasper, moonstone, black moonstone, garnet, hematite, laboradite, carnelian, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz, howlite, azurite, malachite, clear quartz.

Have a great week everyone! ❤️
