Full Moon at 18* Capricorn

Love that's felt back through the generations and into our future ones

Capricorn energy lives on the other side of the axis linked with Cancer. Full Moon’s are always opposite the Sun and express the oppositions of the signs they fall in. The Cancer/Capricorn axis speaks to us of lineage (birth to old age/death), but also our ancestral line. Where Cancer represents the Great Mother, Capricorn represents the Great Father.

In this way, we also play with the spectrum between feminine and masculine, but from the lens of inheritance and physical being.

What did we agree to work with in this lifetime that picked up the threads of the work being done by the ancestors that came before us?

We can look back through generations in our family and see where love was withheld and how that shaped the lives of our parents, grandparents, great-grands and so on.

Because you are here on the planet today, I know you came to unravel the chains of dis-ease caused by a lack of love. Your primary work, whether you realize it or not, is your ability to heal the unloved places from your own personal history and your family line.

Chains can hold us together in a good way, or trap us, depending on what they are used for.

The chains of guilt, shame, anger, hurt, etc. keep us in cycles of grief and despair. We war within ourselves to rise above, pushing the hurt away, without understanding that the only thing required to heal all of it is Love.

Our invitation from today’s full Moon is to look at the places in your body and life where your inheritance from the past has been painful and daunting, and how you’ve built structures around that pain to hold it in place.

These are the very structures that need to dissolve now as Saturn and Neptune come together in the sign of Aries.

Some examples for context…

Maybe you work a job you hate because you derive a sense of power from it. You’ve earned the fancy title and can’t let it go, especially because no one in your family ever graduated from college before and they’re so proud of your achievement.

Or, maybe that soul sucking job easily pays the bills and you refuse to be like your parents who lived paycheck to paycheck by starting over in a field you love.

These things take time to dismantle. We stair step ourselves and our collective into better feeling realities as we become aware of where these war-like structures exist in our own lives.

Where is Love asking you to focus your energy to heal?

We spend great amounts of time wringing our hands about the problems ‘out there’ without truly realizing these very problems are created from the energies held inside us, some self-made and some inherited through our DNA.

War will cease to exist once we find complete peace within our own lives, once we love ourselves and our heritage all the way to the root of the pain.

This is ‘what we can do’ to change the narrative and change the world.

It will take time for these shifts to come in, but it’s happening more and more every day.

Take heart and have courage, my friends.

xo, Kimberly

P.S. I’ve been in art camp this week down in Portland, a present I gave myself for my birthday. :) It’s run by Lettie Jane Rennekamp (the artist I referenced at the top of my post), an amazing and well known artist here.
