The Full Moon promises the culmination of things we started at the New Moon. Monday's Full Moon is in Capricorn. A Capricorn Moon is generally a time of material ambition, work and duty. We focus on traditions, responsibilities and obligations. The power of this Full Moon brings us energy to be successful in our endeavors and puts us in preparation mode. While Mercury is in retrograde it would be best to lay the groundwork for things we want to manifest and wait until after Mercury goes direct to finalize plans and projects.

The Full Moon is also linked to the Mother Aspect of the Goddess. It is an emotional time—a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. These aspects may seem to contradict the qualities associated with a Capricorn Moon, when spiritual and intellectual interests tend to fall away. But if we think of Capricorn's influence as helping us to develop structure, this Full Moon may be a good time to set healthy boundaries within our relationships that will help us to make them stronger and more fulfilling. It is a good time for dream work, divination, and meditation on goals and plans, even spiritual ones.

The July Full Moon is known as the Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Wort Moon, Moon of Claiming, Moon of Blood (because of mosquitos), Blessing Moon, Maedmonat (Meadow Month), Fallow Moon, and Buck Moon.

Spell Work

The Moon will be completely full at 11:02 pm EDT. Some people believe that the energy of the Full Moon starts to take effect from about three days before the actual Full Moon, and lasts until about three days afterwards. But technically, before the actual moment that the Moon is Full it is Waxing and after that moment it is Waning. The Full Moon is a powerful time for spellcraft but it's important to remember the rules for Waxing and Waning when performing your spells to manifest your intentions most effectively.

During the Full Moon, the Moon's energy is considered to be at it's maximum and magickal powers are at their greatest. This is the perfect time for spells that increase psychic abilities and fertility, for divination and problem solving. Since Capricorn rules the knees, teeth, bones and skin, this Full Moon is a good time for healing spells for those parts of the body.
