Capricorn Moon ~ 21-23 May 2019
The Moon moves into structure and work-oriented Capricorn and the 11th House of friendship and desire at 12:57 AM PDT on 21 May 2019. Although we may derive a sense of security from relationships with others, interactions may be difficult during this lunar period. The chart is below:
Chart Information
- Mode/Quality – Cardinal (initiating) and Fixed (stable) energies dominate with Mutable (unstable) in a weakened state. We may feel pulled between initiating and remaining stuck. With Mutable in its weakened state, inflexibility may reinforce the choice to go nowhere.
- Element – Earth and Water, physical matters and emotions, are the primary elements reinforcing Capricorn’s practical influence.
- Ray – 3rd (Active Intelligence), 4th (Harmony through Conflict), and 7th (Ceremonial Order and Magick) create the space for organized and structured work or activities.
- Sign – Taurus and Capricorn foster a practical approach while Scorpio’s intensity is still felt during this lunar period.
- House – 4th House (home/family), 11th (friends, desires) provide the dominate House influences
- Quadrant – 4th quadrant – perseverance toward goals
- Retrograde – Ceres (issues of self-nurturing), Jupiter (inward focus), Pallas, Pluto (dealing with karmic debt), and Saturn (revisit old issues, inward discipline)
- Lunar Phase – Full
Aspects
Self-expression may be difficult during this lunar period. Although a trine exists with Uranus (orb 4°06′ Applying), an unconventional approach may not sit well with others over the next few days. A quincunx with the Sun (Orb 0°00′ Separating) challenges integration between emotions and ego while the same with Mercury (Orb 0°16′ Separating) suggests that decisions may be difficult. An opposition with Mars (Orb 3°20′ Applying) reinforces this by fostering conflict with others. And a square with Chiron (Orb 4°56′ Applying) reinforces feeling misunderstood by others.
So, it might be advisable for the next few days to focus on mundane tasks and take a breath or two when interacting with friends, co-workers, or family. The energy isn’t there for smooth interaction right now so if that arises, take a step back and think before speaking.
Magickal Workings
Coming off the Full Flower Moon, a witch may not feel like working magick for a few days but should something come up, make use of Mars energy on Tuesday to catalyze workings involving justice or strength. Herbs include rue, garlic, nettle, and thorns while incenses or resins include juniper resin. Crystals include amethyst, bloodstone, loadstone, diamond, and jasper.
Wednesday’s workings can involve working with Mercury’s influence to increase communication and awareness. Herbs to support include marjoram and lavender while incenses or resins include benzoin and frankincense. Mercury’s direction is East and its colors are purple and yellow. Crystals include agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, and topaz.
It seems like a focus on work or mundane tasks should take priority over the next few days. If relating to others seems challenging, own your own feelings about it and stay out of judgment. Not everything will go as planned and it makes no sense to overreact when in a few days, the energy will likely be calmer. Wait until the wave passes, in other words, before reacting should interactions become difficult.
Until next time…
Lunar Blessings!
