Full Moon in Capricorn 29°
July 21, 2024 3:17am pst

This is the second Full Moon in Capricorn this year. The first one happened last month on June 21, 2024 at 1° Capricorn. Today’s Full Moon happens at 29° Capricorn.

29° is the very last degree of a sign and is called anaretic degree (or critical degree), in astrology. When I first stated learning / practicing astrology, the anaretic degree was one of my first obsessions. I was fascinated and read everything I could about it and tracked my chart for lived experience. My MC / IC are 29°.

The anaretic degree can be very powerful and a lot of times there is a sense of urgency surrounding this degree. It can feel like something is coming to a culmination and is ready to transform. This can be a sensitive point that may feel challenging, yet it is backed by determination to achieve mastery. Because this Full Moon is in Capricorn we are looking. At themes of structures, government, foundations, society and even personal goals / commitments. This Full Moon invites us to prioritize composting what is outdated and no longer for us.

This lunation is at the same degree Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto were positioning in December 2020 when we experienced the pandemic. During that time we experienced huge endings and transformation within our society. I believe this lunation has a similar power to it, ushering in change and transforming our structures in major ways. This lunation is conjunct Pluto.

On a personal level, make a commitment and decision today to release and let go of anything that gets in the way of your long term goals and commitments. On a societal level, this lunation has the potential of bringing in the beginning of a new chapter.
