Capricorn Full Moon July 12: Energy Vise...Are you feeling it?

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
Alan Cohen, Author and Inspirational Speaker

"Super Full Moon Mauna Kea" by Joseph Mina
Yes, for the moment...energy is building...intensely. Trouble sleeping? Feeling edgy??? The chart below shows the major components of the Capricorn Full Moon. Why the intensity? Aren't we over this already???  Here's the Astro 411:

Where: Capricorn Full Moon at 20°. Laws and rules, structure and organization, finances, business, and politics are the domain of Capricorn and the focus of this lunation.

Type: Super Full Moon (SFM). Full Moon occurs close to perigee with Earth. It is the 1st of 3 consecutive SFM's, with August's Aquarius Full Moon(8/10) the closest of the 3. SFM = heightened lunar influence. Also visually "big Moon" rising at sunset.

When: July 12th: 1:25 am on the 12th in Hawaii; 4:25 PDT, 7:25 am EDT; 3:25 pm GMT

Theme: "Past versus Future"

Significant Players: annotated in chart below: (1) Saturn in Scorpio; (2) Uranus in Aries; (3) Chiron in Pisces, (4) Moon in Capricorn opposite Sun in Cancer

Energy forms created: Cardinal T-Square (in red) and Kite In blue/green) - enough to know this combination represents the building of strong critical tension patterns during this lunation...akin to an "energy vise".

Synopsis: Current dynamic tension represents more intensification for freedom and quest for something new. This is particularly evident now in the emotionally heated and war-torn Middle East, parts of Africa and Asia, as well as along the southern border of the United States (children immigration). Also, the energetic field is quite ripe for conflict, especially on a country level, unless
cooler heads prevail. Better to channel the energy through exercise and prayer rather than over-engaging with others through mental bantering, polarity and conflict.  

The Good: overall energy ought to become lighter as the end of the month approaches, then continue in a lighter way into September. Adding to this lightness, expansive Jupiter will move into heart-inspired Leo on the 16th for the first time since 2003. Over the next 12 months, "hearts desire" will be a significant theme and question.

The Challenging: Uranus and Pluto square will remain within orb of each other for months to come. By 2016 the raw, changeable and destructive nature of this energy will slowly begin to wane. This huge transformative cycle will be complete in 2017. Hence, global turmoil and uncertainty will continue to be the cosmic gorilla in the room.

Suggestions for this Capricorn lunation: receive bodywork; clean home and office; remove clutter, create clean, open space; close energetic doors of the past that feel stagnant and done; visualize a future path and energize it; refrain from over stimulating foods (sugared/processed etc.) and caffeinated beverages...isn't the existing energy enough without further amplifying it.

Reflection questions:
- What energetic door is opening in my life?
- What am I ready to release to more fully embrace new opportunities?
- How can I create a more harmonious structure in my life?
- How can I more consciously serve others?

Conclusion: At this lunation, Saturn (the past) and Uranus (the future) have essentially stopped their sky movement as seen from our Earthly perspective, and at the same16° mark of their respective transiting signs. This brief stoppage significantly fuels the critical tension between preserving the old, and encouraging the new. It also reminds you critical tension is an essential fuel for purification, moving energy, transformation and change. The late Steve Jobs and founder of Apple Computer said "Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."

And on a personal note, you may notice the format of this update has changed. Desiring to create more space in my life for other pursuits such as travel and photography, I have initiated a shift in the presentation of this update. Prior to this lunation, I usually presented a rather elaborate analysis of the New or Full Moon. If I also included my Starman Update video, I would literally spend 3 days putting the information together. Acknowledging that approach served its purpose, I have now moved to a more condensed review of this and future updates. For the more significant lunations, I will also add video content.

If you are a member of Facebook or Twitter, I'll continue to post more daily pertinent pieces of an astrological, and sometimes astronomical nature on my Hawaiian Starman Astrology page in Facebook, and my Twitter feed. I'll also be exploring ways of offering this same content outside of Facebook.

Information can be very helpful. Likewise, I am keenly aware of information overwhelm/overload. I trust these changes will keep you adequately informed of the astrological weather. I like to hear from readers in the comment section below what you think of this new format. Mahalo!
