This Sunday, July 21st we welcome the Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn. Every Full Moon we have the opportunity to reflect on what has come to fullness in our lives and what is ready to be released.
Full Moon in Capricorn
With the moon in the sign of Capricorn again, just as last month’s full moon, we have the opportunity to anchor in more deeply to the energies of this sign. Capricorn offers us the wisdom of the masculine elder, the grandfather, the builder. We can channel these energies to reflect on what we are building for our long-term future. Capricorn is also the sea-goat who traverses rocky mountainous terrains one step at a time and is undaunted by the journey. In this we can reflect on what are the daily habits and steps we are taking to become that which we are envisioning for our futures, as well as how to bring more joy to these daily routines.
Full Moon Ritual
We’ve prepared a ritual for you to connect with the energies available at this potent time.
Prepare a place for ritual by tidying the space, energetically cleansing, and perhaps lighting a candle to focus the energy.
Using breath and mindfulness, narrow your focus into the present moment and the ritual at hand, letting all agenda items drop away.
With a cup of cacao lovingly prepared, bring the cup to your heart. Tune into the energy of cacao and acknowledge her spirit with gratitude.
Tune into your heart, to find your heart’s desires for this ritual with the energies present at this time. Hold your intentions in your heart and with your whisper or breath infuse them into the cup of cacao you are holding.
As you drink, bring mindful awareness to all the sensations and appreciations of drinking cacao. Invite cacao to mingle with you and support your heart’s intentions. Ask what you might be able to offer in return.
As you sip your cacao, reflect on the following questions and open the dialogue with cacao:
What am I building for my long-term future?
What daily steps, habits, rituals, routines do I already possess to that end?
What kinds of rituals or routines can I add to support my intention?
How will I nourish myself through this process?
When you’ve completed your meditation on these questions, grab your journal + pen + any coloring utensils. Use these tools to write or draw what inspirations came to you during this time.
We hope these insights help support your deepening with cacao and your very own heart!
