FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

This is the third of three eclipses in the current ‘eclipse season’.  The first was with the Full Moon in Sagittarius on 5 June, the second was the solar eclipse at the Summer Solstice on 21 June.  This lunar eclipse completes the season – and the trinity.  

Eclipse seasons are a portal for reset, and this season has been particularly powerful.  With the full Galactic Realignment at zero degrees cancer on the Solstice, a gateway for complete renewal was opened.  Here at Luna Rhythms, we’ve been hosting the Soulstice Spirit Festival online to offer creative guidance and inspirational practices for these times.  The festival began at the Solstice and continued through the waxing moon cycle, completing this Sunday at the Full Moon.  

Looking at what’s been happening globally, with many people rising up to protest against racism and inequality, for example, it really seems like the time is ripe for rebirth and renewal.  

The Full Moon invites you to CELEBRATE this time of infinite potential.  To embrace the possibilities being created in this New Earth.  Focused on the Earth, we celebrate the restructuring and realignment of this planet, grounding into our roots to create the foundation for everything that’s to come.  

Capricorn focuses the energies at your Root Chakra, highlighting the practicalities of home, health and security.  As we each must find new ways of being, new ways of doing the things we thought we’d always do, perhaps we find ourselves more connected both locally and globally.  More aware of the need to act in solidarity.  

Now is the time to take practical steps towards the New Earth you desire so deeply to see realised.  We are all participants in this unprecedented co-creation.  Sending down your Ruby Red Grounding Cord, from just below your navel, into the earth beneath your feet, you can draw up the Life Force Energy into your heart-centre, and breathe into your own expansion.  You can also visualise the life you want to manifest with this breath, drawing your dreams down through the crown of your head to meet with the physical substance of earth energy rising up through your feet.  These energies meet in your heart, where you can send them out into the world with every breath and with everything you are creating.  Your hands are an extension of your heart-centre energy, so allow your dreams of the New Earth to flow through them as you breathe.  

Now is the time for creating lasting change. 

Consider your long-term vision or ambition, and identify some simple and practical everyday steps you can take to make that vision a reality.  Focus your dreaming with a practical plan for consistency and commitment.  What can you do each day to move toward your intended goals?

How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you during this Capricorn Full Moon:

At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the lunar cycles and solar seasons teaches techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle.  This Full Moon in Capricorn is the perfect time to ground your dreams into the New Earth reality…

Practicing Ganesha Mudra can be very grounding and strengthening, and Ganesha’s energy can also be called upon for protection in these challenging and changing times.  Ganesha is the elephant-headed god of yogic mythology; the embodiment of strength, roots and protection.  Visualise the colour red as you hold your hands in front of your heart, left-palm facing forward and right-palm interlocking with it.  Breathe into this mudra as a gesture of grounding, strength, and protection.  

You can also practice Apana Mudra, by coming out of Ganesha Mudra and connecting your middle and ring finger with your thumb on each hand.  This mudra sends your energy downwards, into the earth.  It is also useful for detoxification, as it moves waste energies down and out of your body.  You can use this to support your renewal on a physical and energetic level, as well as feeling yourself more grounded.

Chanting the Bija Mantra LAM can help to connect you in with your Root Chakra, with its bass resonance and the colour red.  During this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse, you might like to practice chanting the full set of Bija Mantra, one for each chakra: moving up and down your body to realign each energy-centre with its true healing resonance. Feel the sound vibration moving in your body as you chant LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM – entering into the silence of the void as you reach the crown, and moving back down again.  You can make this a chanting meditation as you focus your awareness on the sound and its vibration within your body.

At Luna Rhythms, we are here to support you through this intense energetic shift.  The final day of the Soulstice Spirit Festival will be on Sunday 5 July.  

The planet is realigning.  The cosmic shift is happening.  There is no way back and every heart that opens is a beacon of light to every other. 

Join us from wherever you are! 

 Breathe deeply and stay rooted in your realignment.

Love,

Diana
