Inner Moon: Ovulation
Moon Vibes:
The healer, artist. Our humanity shines bright and the desire to connect with resonate polarity is strong. Artistic and creative expressions are made manifest during full Moon phase. This is the polarity of our solar and lunar nature in orgasmic celebration and peak fertility during full Moon phase. In tantra yoga, this is the union of Moon and Sun, in and out-breath at the heart, breath pause kumbhaka. Relates with dawn and the element is earth. In the hero’s journey, this is the sacred Marriage of resonate polarities, between the archetypes of Sun/Moon. In the menstrual cycle, this phase is ovulation. The egg is released from ovary into fallopian tubes and the possibility of fertilization is greatest. Metaphysically, this is when we fertilize our creations with thought seeds and manifestation rituals have the greatest potential. The prime hormone for this phase is estrogen which stimulates luteinizing hormone which stimulates the release of the egg. This is also the peak of testosterone in the cycle so we see a lot of hormonal stimulation at full Moon phase. The full Moon phase is about 72 hours, which also coincides closely to the time from onset of ovulation where fertilization is possible. Orgasm, ovulation, the moment of truth, polarity connection, endorphin high. Use foods that are packed with flavor, colorful, juicy and nutrient dense.

Moon in Capricorn:
Moon on south node this morning right after fullest phase, we are aware of our past conditioning, longing for breakthrough and evolution 🌕♐ Moon moves into Capricorn makes 120° angle w Uranus today giving us the electric jolt we need for radical change in authority.
Astrology info to consider:
Mercury/messenger and Uranus/trickster, change maker in 60°easy flow. What info do you know right now [if you said it] would impact another person? Will you say that? Sharing someone else saying it doesn’t count. Mercury at 90° with Chiron challenges our personal wounds, when you feel scared but say it anyway, we all benefit. Especially you.
Sun and Mars in 90° angle were we feel maximum friction and discontentment between “happy go sunny” and our inner warrior. Mars in Pisces fights with emotional force for humanitarian causes. Sun in Gemini is information and chaos which can be really fun and freeing if you like the unknown (??)
Saturn retrograding back into Capricorn July 1st – Dec 17th. Won’t be in Cap again for 28 years. This timing is for self responsibility and sustainability. Food security, self-governance, building community systems that support families. Government systems are breaking down and the blind faith we had is ending, Pluto in Capricorn. What is your role in reformation of community systems?
Ritual:
Moon still in it’s Full phase tonight, in Capricorn tonight with the south node in Sagittarius encouraging us to define our evolving philosophy of authority.
- Call in sacred space, call in the energy of sustainable Capricorn and all in your spirit guides to support you here.
- Imagine a circle of grandmothers around you, feel their supportive presence and honor their wisdom.
- Reflect in your journal… think of all the ways you have grown to view authority in your life. Who or what has taken on an authoritative role in your life? How has this evolved over the years. Think of the circle of grandmothers and grandfathers around you and what views they had of authority and how they passed this down to you. Who in your life do you view as authority? Who’s advice do you take and why?
- Bring awareness to where you are clearing old ideas of authority that are no longer in harmonious correspondence with you and see what you need to do to ritualize this clearing and releasing. Maybe burning paper you’ve written on or a ritual cleansing bath? Do what you need to do to feel like you have full let go of these old ideas.
- Step into your new philosophy of authority with wisdom of the past and clarity in the present. As the author of your own life, what role are you writing for yourself? Write the story of your life as it is right now from an empowered perspective.
- Conclude in gratitude.
