Full Moon in Capricorn/Cancer With the energy of Capricorn glaring in our face we are forced at the moment to view our lives realistically. What is working for us now and what needs to be severed? What obligations must we fulfill to create a secure and nourishing foundation that is at the heart of the Cancer Sun? With 5 planets retrograde in the planetary picture our progress will be slow so look to what really needs your serious attention and stay focused. This kind of slow build is like the myth of Sisyphus who was doomed to rolling a huge rock up a mountain only to have it fall back down to the bottom for all eternity! Time to put a stop to this kind of pointless effort. For now, use this period to reconnect to your original intent. Saturn, Capricorn's planetary ruler teaches us wisdom through limitation The Moon, Cancer's ruler embodies these challenging lessons and forms a shell of protection and power. |

A Ritual for Cutting Away the Fearsome Foe on this Full Moon in Capricorn ~Igraine excerpted from The 2008 Spell-A-Day Alamanac In Tibet, at this time, the monks performed an ancient ritual dance to eliminate negative forces and hindrances. Dressing in yellow robes they used vocal and instrumental sounds to invoke creative awareness. Begin this ritual by allowing yourself to vocalize freely whatever sounds come forth, melodious or dissonant. Open your self to explore. Play music that inspires you to trance dance as you cast a circle, sprinkling flower petals or a potpourri thrice around. Have a basin of warm water scented with sandalwood oil and wash your feet. Dry them off well and rub them with a little olive oil. Using a henna paste, paint them artfully with spirals, circles and other symbols. When you are ready begin your ritual dance, improvising movement that you feel expresses releasing dark energy as you move counter clockwise (widdershins) within your sacred circle. Then change direction and dance sunwise pulling in toward your solar plexus feelings of joy and positivity as you chant a mantra of purification, “Om mani padme hum” and cut away the fearsome foe! |
