Naming the Moons
Naming the full moon each month is an olde phenomenon indicating the changing seasons, agricultural & ecological events during the year. Given geographical variants these names differ dependant on geographical region. The Native American names for July’s full moon are Hay Moon, Summer Moon, Thunder Moon & Buck Moon. Buck Moon is named such because it is at this time of year that bucks gain their horns. The Montana tribes named this moon the Red Berries Moon. The Northern Canadian Inuit name for this moon is Dry Moon. Across the continents, the Chinese name for this moon is the Hungry Ghost Moon. A time where the veils of the worlds are considered thin, where familial ghosts may return to where they were happiest. In India it is the month of Asdha, this changes to the lunar month of Srvana. In Britain, the ancient Celtic Medieval names are Claiming Moon, Wyrt / Herb Moon, Mead Moon. The Druidic calendar suggests that we are in the month of Holly, Tinne, from 8th July to 4th August. This is a feminine moon known as the Moon of Encirclement or the Moon of Polarity, with aspects of protection, Magick for animals, sex magick for us! On 5th August we will enter into the month of Hazel.

Astrology
Our beautiful celestial being will enter Full phase on 21-22 July, depending on your geographical area. A Full moon occurs when the sun & moon are opposite each other. This aspect brings turmoil & tension between the two, ego versus emotion, external versus internal us, work versus home. They are in opposite zodiac signs and as such this could cause drama in our lives, depending on which energies we are attuned to. If we can keep ourselves within the parameters of the positive points of each, we keep the energies busy, where they affect us with minimal stress. However, this also depends on what other planetary influences are in play during this phase, which will be discussed further in this section.
Sun in Cancer - The Sun is all about self & ego, representing life force, consciousness, creativity, self-identity, self-expression & self- integration. In Cancer, we find ourselves to be cautious of self- expression, highly emotional as this is a water sign, we expect the ebb & flow. However, because Cancer is the sign of the Moon & is not very content to sit opposite its ruling planet, we may feel a little discomfort in our ego. We may have been or experienced possessiveness, nurturing, tenacity & withdrawal. This is our outer ego, the one which is seen by the outside world.
Moon in Capricorn - The Moon is our eternal feminine linking spirit & matter, our inner thoughts, self- talk & expression, our past & intuition, mostly our emotional side which is kept internally by us & nurtured. At Full Moon we are at a state of abundance & fullness which can create polar feelings from overwhelm to serenity. We feel into our emotions, instincts, receptiveness, mothering nature & subconsciousness. The Moon in Capricorn is emotionally controlled; however, this moon will have exuberance at a higher level. It is a moon of self- reliance, dependability. Moon in Capricorn urges the need to be in control of family & environment. Beware of authoritarianism & absolutes.
This is the second Full Moon in Capricorn, the first being in June, so this Moon can be an indication of completion to that which began at June’s Full moon or even a release of those things which we have found have been holding us back. It may mean we harness forgiveness to release our emotions surrounding a situation or person. Moreover, as this Moon, unlike the first Capricorn Full Moon in June is aneretic, which means it sits on the final degree of the sign. In opposition to the first degrees in June’s full moon, which gave us a wide eyed, innocent approach to what we were navigating. The final degree gives us wisdom & experience to move forward. Anything that we have done correctly with the right intentions will flourish. We can expect more urgency coupled with powerful experience & educated response to our situations. This will aid us in making final decisions on a matter which we have been working on. Be mindful of overwhelm & erratic responses from those who are not on this particular wavelength.
The Full Moon encourages us to balance the polarities we are faced with during this phase. We are being asked to find the balance between our private lives & our public lives; home vs work; our home base, roots & nurture vs career, reputation & accountability. This polarity is asking us to find balance between attachment, unconditional love & origin vs Achievements, punishments, conditional love & goals. Finding balance between the two is essential to avoid chaos in our lives. Knowing our own limitations is key to understanding where to be more independent & where we may need help.
Planetary aspects
Dwarf planet Ceres is still in Retrograde & as such continues to exhibit illumination surrounding support, resources & sustenance, or lack of in these areas. Be mindful not to take on too much & ask for help where it is needed. This aspect fully relates to the connection between the two Capricorn Full Moon’s. So, whatever was highlighted & has been constant over the past four weeks is in the limelight. If we use logic, reason, method & are disciplined in our approach, all will be well. As mentioned, anything done correctly with the right intentions will flourish under this aspect & this Moon.
Pluto in Aquarius is only 1-2 degrees away from the Full Moon in Capricorn. A conjunction like this is helpful in transforming our desires & goals into reality. There is healing to be had here & transformations can be easy or hard depending on our own resistance.
Neptune sextile Full Moon – Sextile acts like a Trine, is harmonious & concentrates on areas of talent & ease. Neptune covers our dreams, inspirations, connections & enlightenment. This is a creative opportunity to be inspired & to inspire. a good time for therapies.
Mars harmoniously connects to the Full Moon. Mars brings in courage, action & determination. This is where you can chase your dreams!
Uranus trine Full Moon – Trine is harmonious & means the planets involved work together. Progression & change, breakthroughs; breaking free from tradition & bringing modernity to into the equation; doing things a new way, your way are all here in this aspect. This aspect will help to break down barriers. This is where we dare to be different & shine, where we stop caring about other’s opinions & do things our own way.
