Closing Ancestral Bones. The Alchemy, Balance, Alignment and Deeper Layers of Rapid Upheaval

Potent Capricorn Full Moon 

Nestled within the Solar Season of Cancer is the potent Capricorn Full Moon. Generally speaking, the Cancer/Capricorn axis is a deeply significant time for ancestral healing. Cancer, represented by its ruling planet the Moon, connects us to the Divine Mother, as the solar and lunar illuminations pierce veils to show us where our lineage work begins and ends.

The same can be said for Capricorn. Ruled by Saturn — traditionally the Father energy — this Full Moon’s illumination highlights the father-line lineage work. It is an annual opportunity to better understand our ancestral roots and bring both masculine and feminine energies into balance.

Honour, Discipline & Soul Work

In some cultures, this Capricorn Moon represents the honouring of spiritual teachers, which aligns with Saturn as the wise teacher — the soul teacher of karma and dharma, and the lord of time. This Full Moon activates Capricorn themes of discipline and responsibility, through our hard work, there are rewards to be found.

The axis of Cancer and Capricorn (especially with Jupiter currently in Cancer) reminds us of the need to tend to the inner realms — our consciousness, our home, and nurturing of the self and family — for our life’s purpose is to flourish in the world. All ther beautiful things that are  seeded this Full Moon will come to fruition at the Capricorn New Moon in six months' time.

Jupiter in Cancer underpins the current of the Capricorn Full Moon, emphasising the creation of a safe and emotionally nurturing environment. It's a time to prioritise self-care and supportive relationships. It can help us form more profound, meaningful connections with ourselves, fostering a sense of soulful belonging, which allows our relationships with others to deepen.

Although this Full Moon in Capricorn offers us a chance to plan and align with a balanced masculine form, aggressive striving under this transit can indicate failure. The Cancer–Capricorn axis invites balance — and when we embody this equilibrium, attracting abundance through alignment with home, family, community, and purpose becomes effortless. This nurtures both soul and goals.

Chiron, Uranus: Volatile Change

The Capricorn Full Moon will square Chiron in Aries, highlighting the need to address deep-seated wounds related to authority, self-worth, and visibility — especially within the context of responsibility and achievement. This aspect encourages healing through introspection, urging us to process past pain and move toward emotional resilience and personal freedom.

Uranus enters Gemini on 7 July, joining Venus. We’ll witness undertones of rapid disintegration and disruption around relationships, consciousness, resources, and outdated systems. Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, in Gemini is set to shake up the mental realm — heightened by Mercury in Leo entering retrograde.

Expect old relationship themes to surface, particularly around family dynamics and imbalances in masculine and feminine power. Uranus in Gemini — fast-moving energy associated with lightning, wind, storms, and volcanic eruptions — brings a volatile edge to this lunation, especially Uranus forms a conjunction with Venus, the asteroid Algol , and the Pleiadian star system.  Relationship dynamics that no longer serve us are being dismantled, unleashing a truth that cuts through ego, illusion, distortion, and projection — particularly where Shakti (raw feminine power) has been suppressed.

Aligning our Dreams with Practicality

Moreover, Neptune turns retrograde in a loose conjunction with Saturn, revealing misalignment between our dreams and the practicality required to realise them. This transit enhances our discernment and helps clarify what’s real and what is fantasy.

Mars in Virgo asks us to purify our lives, focusing especially on health. As Mars conjuncts the nodes of fate, we’re shown where we’ve self-neglected. This energy calls for deep self-care as a path to fulfilling our destiny.

In a nutshell, it’s a mixed bag that invites us to align with our highest potential. Where we’ve been selling ourselves short, expect situations that highlight the need for inner alignment — especially as we step into rapidly shifting times.

Collective Shake-Ups Calling for Balance

Historically, Uranus in Gemini has coincided with major periods of upheaval in U.S. history — including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, governs communication, education, intellect, and multitasking. Uranus, aligned with Aquarius, is the planet of sudden change, rebellion, innovation, and disruption. Together, their influence signals a time of shake-ups, wake-ups, and both personal and collective breakthroughs.

This Capricorn Full Moon offers a powerful opportunity to restore inner balance, particularly between the masculine and feminine energies. Dive deep, do the internal work, and bring order to your home and daily life. Establish rhythms that support fulfilment and wholeness, which will reach fruition six months from now.

Speak with clear, positive intention. Saturn — the Bone Mother — guides the closing of old cycles and the ignition of the new.
