Capricorn Full Moon July 2024: Minor Planet Report

Basic details and main features

Full Moon in Capricorn (Moon opposite Sun), 21st July 2024 at 10:17 UTC, 29+ Capricorn/Cancer

Here we are with the second of two Capricorn Full Moons, in the final (anaretic) degree of the respective signs, with the Moon also sextile Neptune at the end of Pisces. The energy in this area can feel unsettling and somewhat volatile, as we are in the process of shifting from one sign to the next. That said, it can be useful for tying up loose ends, and bringing matters to a satisfactory conclusion. If Neptune makes you feel rather off-balance or confused, take as much time as you need to find and/or ground yourself. The important things in life are rarely instantaneous.

One other configuration stands out in this chart: a Finger of the World (see this page for an in-depth discussion of this and other aspect patterns) between Mercury, Uranus and Ceres. This aspect pattern contrasts with the Finger of God, or Yod, in that the latter indicates a sense of fatedness or unavoidable events, whereas the former relates to what we can do for ourselves. Potentially, the combination of these planets is suggestive of how we can use our minds, intellect and/or inventive means to nourish and nurture our wellbeing.

Quick update

Hi all

Just wanted to share a couple of articles on the Cancer New Moon. Firstly Amanda Moreno's incredibly beautiful writing for The Astrophile; secondly, my own rather more prosaic piece, Eleusis Moon, also over on Substack.

Wishing you all a pleasant July.

With love,
Theano

Some minor planets involved

Conjunct Sun

• (127) Johanna – Large main-belt asteroid named for Jeanne d'Arc, the young Frenchwoman who became a national hero defending her country against the English. The asteroid shares its discovery degree with Chiron, and its correspondences involve numerous similarly honourable and pivotal figures, apparently serving to associate it more closely to its namesake.
• (968) Petunia – Main-belt asteroid named after the flower genus, which is related to tobacco, tomatoes and chilli peppers, among others. These and other connections are suggestive of a Martial or combative aspect; there is also a fertility element expressed through the discovery degree.
• (8405) Asbolus – Centaur crossing the orbits of Saturn and Uranus; the mythical creature was a seer who predicted the critical battle with the Lapiths but, once intoxicated by the smell of Herakles' wine, also led the other centaurs towards it and thus helped cause the fight. The name Asbolos means 'sooty' or 'carbon dust'. Various sources^[1] offer indications including: intuition, psychic ability, seriousness, intensity, mysteries, difficulty receiving compliments or advice, pessimism, heaviness, solidity and consistency.
• (19521) Chaos – Kuiper belt object, possibly a dwarf planet, named for the Greek concept of the primordial void. Themes may include unlimited potential^[2], anarchy, disarray^[3], "spiritual laws that support personal freedom and free will"^[4], Robin Hood style figures^[5], orderliness amid confusion, and mellowness^[6].

Horoscope for Cancer Full Moon 2023

Greetings one and all. Since these are somewhat behind schedule, I won't wax too lyrical on the general chart for the lunation, which took place at almost exactly 33 minutes past midnight GMT this morning. I'll only say this: remember that every human being is family, and that nothing has lasting meaning which does not serve our whole species, and indeed all life on Earth. Love is the ingredient that makes everything beautiful.

Without further ado, here are the horoscopes.
