Effort & Ease: Capricorn Full Moon
The Capricorn Full Moon was technically yesterday July 10th at 1:37 PM PST, but you can still work with the Full Moon about 2 days after. Full Moons are a time when the moon cycle has fully completed, culminating in the wholeness of the moon's face. It may feel super busy close to a Full Moon with the heightened lunar energy as projects come to a close. It's also a time to CELEBRATE (specifically the Capricorn qualities in our life).
Capricorn puts in all this hard work and effort, often forgetting to sit back and simply enjoy the fruits of that effort. Cancer is the opposite sign to Capricorn, reminding us that to balance Capricorn's stern commitment we also require Cancer's ease to replenish our systems.
REFLECT
Reflect on how your hard work, ambitious pursuits, structure and vision have come to fruition. Check your Google Calendar or your photos around December 30, 2024 - what in your life has shifted? How have YOU evolved since then?
THE TRANSIT
To get a bit more specific about this Capricorn Full Moon, we can look at what Saturn is doing in our sky (since Capricorn is ruled by Saturn). Right now, Saturn is in a sextile to Pluto - meaning there is a flowing conversation between these two planets that is generally pretty easy, despite the intensity of these planets. I see this as a Full Moon of great transformation through commitment and structure. Reminding us of the power of our shadows (Pluto) as fuel for our long term visions (Saturn) especially when the Full Moon sheds full light onto those pieces of us we tend to hide.
FOR EACH RISING SIGN celebrate any long-term progress in these areas of your life:
Aries Rising - career/ professional life / image
Taurus Rising - higher education, international travel, insight, spiritual expansion
Gemini Rising - mental health, transformation, emotional awareness
Cancer Rising - partnerships, relationship wounds, navigating one-on-one connections
Leo Rising - healthy habits, daily work, daily routines (p.s. the 14 Day Meditation Journal is a great way to start that healthy meditation habit and it's on SALE)
Virgo Rising - creativity, authentic expression, dating, romantic life
Libra Rising - home, family, grudges of the past
Scorpio Rising - written work, communication, teaching, local community
Sagittarius Rising - how you view your values and money, finances, assets
Capricorn Rising - SELF! personality development, confidence, identity
Aquarius Rising - how you handle secrets, deeper internal battles, subconscious access
Pisces Rising - networking, friends, how you show up on the internet
HOW TO DO A SIMPLE FEEL-GOOD FULL MOON RITUAL AT HOME
🌕 Light candles, incense, clear the energy of the space with palo santo/sage / smudge of choice, play healing frequencies or calming music
🌕 Gentle movement to settle the body
🌕 Meditate to clear out the noise of the day (link to my guided meditations below!)
🌕 Journal and reflect on “Capricorn-related” progress based on your rising sign (For me, as a Cancer Rising I'll be celebrating my progress on healing co-dependency!)
🌕 If you can, gather with community and speak aloud your celebrations or intentions for release
🌕 Optional release ritual: write what you're ready to release on eco-friendly burn paper then burn it safely. Meditate as you watch the flame consume your release and feel lighter and freer of it.

Wellness & Self-Discovery Updates
I am doing a lot of behind the scenes work to strap up Awake In Wellness and also gear up for some new OFFERINGS towards the beginning of Fall! Based on the polls on Instagram, it seems like virtual meditation/yin practices are something you all are interested in. Be on the lookout for virtual wellness classes!
I may be hosting a retreat in Hawai'i in the near future!

Jupiter in my family unit
In my family, I am more similar to my Dad in how we operate and my brother is more like my Mom. I pulled up all 4 of our charts and realized both my dad and I have Jupiter in Capricorn. Where we find greatest expansion and our greatest skills are in structure, ambition and discipline. Whereas both my mom and brother have Jupiter in Pisces. They find their abundance in flow, being a little spacey, dreaming and fluid. My dad and I are great drivers, morning people and good with directions. My mom and brother are not the best at driving, night owls and still get lost in the mall we've been going to for 20+ years… So fascinating!

Wellness practices supporting me lately
Kukui Nut oil
Kukui Nut is Hawai'i's state tree and its oil has many naturally healing properties. I've been using it for high sun / UV exposure and saltwater skin care.
Eating 90% locally grown food
The farmers market is more convenient than the grocery store in Hawai'i so I've traded in mainland produce for only tropical fruits and purple potatoes and my body is loving it! GO TO YOUR FARMERS MARKETS THIS SUMMER!
Twists in Yoga
Flushing out the extra heat buildup in summer through ALL the twists- supine twist, prone twist over a bolster, chair prayer twist. Amazing relief for the low back too.
The latest self-discovery deep dive
Completely rewiring how I view and interact with the energy of money
Briana Fehringer of the Wealth Embodied podcast just did an AMAZING episode on how to transform the money patterns passed down to you (must listen if you are an immigrant/children of immigrants)
Being gracious as I break ancestral patterns
On the topic of family & ancestry (probably why I was looking at my family's charts!) my amazing coach Mallorie reminded me that it's not selfish that I'm choosing to live radically different than my family. That our parents/grandparents and beyond wanted better for us so that I don't need to continue the pattern of sacrifice. Choosing ease actually honors them from a place of gratitude rather than guilt.
(Also if you are in need of a nutrition / lifestyle coach, Mallorie @m.theorie_wellness is incredible)
