What a full moon in Capricorn means
The full moon in Capricorn, facing the Sun in Cancer, stretches the career–home axis the other way: what you build in the world, your responsibilities, your reputation, against your intimate needs. It lights up your ambitions and the price you pay for them.
It is a moon of maturity: it shows what effort has built since the January new moon in Capricorn, and what must be restructured. Emotions are contained, sometimes dry: grant yourself recognition before demanding the next step. A full moon for grown-up decisions.
Three things to do at the full moon in Capricorn

Review your last six professional months, with facts.
- 2
Delegate or drop a responsibility that is not yours.
- 3
Acknowledge a success you treated as normal.
