This full moon points to places where you have taken on too much and are stretched too thin. The shadow side of the strong Aries close to conjunction of Saturn and Neptune this week is impatience and rash action without follow-through. It is hard to resist the urge just do something and let the chips fall where they may. Impulse control goes out the window. That freaks out the Capricorn vibe of this full moon (which is why Aries and Capricorn square each other), which needs a plan and follow-through and tends to take responsibility for all the hard work that follows when we start something new. The irony is that you might not start something new if you knew everything that you’d be taking on at the outset. That’s why we need Aries, to plow through our need to control and know everything and get engaged with the process to take action, trusting that we’ll learn as we go and figure it out. The medicine of this full moon is a correcting action on the pendulum swings between these two extremes. If you’ve been taking action and initiating, you may need to slow down to plan out your next steps and enlist help. If you’ve been more on the plan and know everything front before taking action, you may need to set down your proverbial binder full of plans and just do the next best thing.
Mars in Virgo is in a harmonious position to the full moon axis, helping you to be pragmatic and methodical. You harness a sense of order amidst the swift-moving astrological energy of this summer. Set aside any need to criticize, judge, or take on the work of anyone else. Seek out ways to be useful to yourself first before you offer help to others.
Questions to Ponder: In what ways can I let go of work that isn’t mine to do? What messages am I getting from my instincts about the next best step? Where can I focus on adding value in a methodical, step-by-step way?
