Super Moon in Capricorn:  Drawing in the Crone

Moon opposite Sun – 7/13/22 @ 1:37pm CDT

 

Capricorn Moon in her fullness is near her perigee (closest to Earth in her orbit).  Her presence is felt, reflecting back to us the Cancer Black Moon seed of this cycle. 

How have we grown to this midpoint? From swimming in the deep with Dark Mother Protectress…to calling in the wisdom of the Crone Goddess through Capricorn, we are finding the inner strength to support us all through hard times.  Capricorn Moon teaches much resilience through overcoming obstacles with measured steps.  It isn’t the easiest sign for Moon to express through…but at her fullness, and in perigee, she is a strong Wayshower of Capricorn Mysteries.

It may all be hitting very close to home in this cycle, whatever the theme is for you personally.  Collectively, the events of this lunar month have come to each of our nations in various expressions…but all with a Motherly Call to Action, as the Cancer-Capricorn axis inclines.

What is your personal call to action?  The one that your Ancestral Grandmothers support (from within you) to contribute to the next generations.  The one you feel in your bones.  The Crone Mother draws closer to listen deeply to Earth’s voice, and she has much wisdom to share with us. 

Moon in Capricorn reflects the wisdom of the Crone because this Cardinal Earth sign is guided by Saturn.  Saturn, often referred to as Lord of Time, is the planet of elders and senescence.  Saturn teaches responsibility, respect, and regulation through rules and restrictions that are meant to promote maturity and sustainability through the tests of time.  Sometimes, Saturn’s lessons may have us feeling like we are enrolled in the School of Hard Knocks…because they rarely come with ease and the rewards are rarely gained fully in the immediate moment.  Saturn would suggest that the lasting effects of change take time to cultivate and bring to fruition.  With Saturn, we remember the old adage ‘patience is a virtue’.

But this Capricorn Moon is also working closely with Capricorn Pluto, and aspects to Mercury, Ceres, Uranus, Neptune, Juno, Eris, and the lunar nodes.  There is a bit of a ‘safety net’ if we should fall while balancing on this Cancer/Capricorn axis.  And the strong trine from Venus to Saturn suggests that the strength of our relations, and our responsibilities within relationships, are supportive at this time for whatever it may be that we each are being called to realize.
