Full Moon Capricorn

MOON WALK TONIGHT!

Today, Tuesday, July 7th, we celebrate the Full Buck Moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur – beautiful, soft and protective. Can you let yourself be beautiful, soft AND protected with healthy boundaries?

Today the Earth sits between the Full Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. As you know, the Moon rules Cancer and is the place of emotions, the pulse of the heart, the tides and represents the archetypal mother. The planet associated with Capricorn is Saturn – the place of authority, boudaries, structure, and describes your relationship with “the father”.  It makes for a very interesting dance between our desire to be taken care of and our drive to make something happen. Instead of torturing yourself with repetitive thought patterns about “_________” (blah blah blah) leading you into fear and depression….. really dance/play/run/sing/drum with it. Do anything but “think” about it. Use the creative tension available to release energy into the parts of your life that are begging for your “non-thinking” attention. Movement begets movement.

• Honor the best of Michael Jackson and moon walk, sing all the hits, move that body!
• You may be feeling sensitive, try nurturing yourself instead of pushing yourself
• Enjoy a little Cranial Sacral therapy –  re-pulsing the body to re-connect with your own rhythm
• Honor your teachers – send a note to someone who has been a great teacher for you recently

This is my favorite tip…so here it is again.

TIP + IS THIS MY MOUNTAIN? – As your sturdy capricorn mountain goat Maria sings “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” take a moment to access the nurturing intelligence of Cancer to ask yourself, does this FEEL like my mountain? OR is this somebody else’s mountain? You may want to reconsider if you really do need to climb EVERY mountain, ford every stream, follow every rainbow until you find your dream. What if you could take a time out and check in with how this current path is feeling? Does this path light you up, turn you on, make you excited about life? If the answer is no, it’s time to make a COURSE CORRECTION. Before you charge off, take advantage of the view, reassess where you are and where you want to be…and make the choices that feels good to you (even if they are hard for others.) One step at a time. Trust that you can follow the Sound of your OWN Music.
