July's Full Moon and Supermoon in tropical Capricorn follow Neptune's retrograde station and forms an opposition to Mercury in Cancer. With a trine from Jupiter in Taurus, this Full Moon represents a culmination of achievements, ambitions, and practical vision. Additionally, it brings some ease of flow in making goals or ideas realizable.

The Moon in Capricorn is not a traditionally comfortable place for the lunar archetype, opposite its ruling sign Cancer. Quite often, a Full Moon here places some restraint on emotional expressiveness and clarity, where external concerns, pressures, and duty might overshadow inward needs or issues.

Perhaps paradoxically, Capricorn is also a sign of solitude, as Saturn, its ruling Planet, deals with both concretizing external accomplishments and the inward journey and time away required for success. There is likely tension between our commitments and practical goals and the dreaminess of Neptune. Yet, both dynamics can be integrated and directed toward personal and transpersonal interests.

Neptune's station alongside this Full Moon amplifies that inward pull, potentially into fantasy, idealism, and creative vision. Neptunian dominance around this Full Moon represents a concretizing or focusing of ambitions, dreams, and immersion in whatever pulls you forward. That may manifest as a distraction or further inspiration. Yet, following Mercury's superior conjunction with the Sun, we are more focused ahead on all that requires preparation and planning.
