Full Moon in Capricorn Meaning

The Full Moon in Capricorn comes along quietly. With no major aspects to the malefics or benefics, the Full Moon stands on its own, giving us the opportunity to rest and release what no longer serves us.

The Moon is uncomfortable in the sign of the Sea Goat. She wants to flow, feel, and nurture. Meanwhile, Capricorn wants to be pragmatic, logical, and a little bit cynical. The Moon wants to focus on emotions while Capricorn prefers to focus on progress. However, as we move through this tension, we’ll find a lesson in figuring out the practical steps to build a container of safety for our emotions and desires to express themselves. This Full Moon is about tapping into and honoring your desire for security and understanding the emotional and practical things you need to achieve it.

Full Moon in Capricorn Ritual

Gather:

A white candle
A glass bottle of water (Cancer season = emotional purification)
A fireproof bowl
A pen and 2 pieces of paper
Optional: stones like smoky quartz, onyx, or black tourmaline

Steps:

Set the Scene: Create a calm space. Light your candle and say: “I call in structure, safety, and sovereignty. I release what no longer holds me.”
Write the Pressure: On your paper, list any emotional burdens, perfectionism, fears of failure, or responsibilities that feel outdated or draining.
Let It Go: Burn this paper to release all of this stagnant and unhelpful energy to the Moon. Ask that her light illuminate these shadows and help you clear them with peace and ease. As the paper burns, say, “I release these with love. I reclaim energy for what matters.”
Name the Need: On your new piece of paper, write what your heart actually needs—this could be softer routines, emotional boundaries, gentler ambition, or community support. Save this in your journal so that you can reference it later.
Close the Ritual: Offer a prayer of gratitude. Speak from the heart. Let the candle burn safely or snuff it out intentionally. Pour the water outside or down the drain with intention.
