Full Moon in Capricorn & Retrograde Realities: Your Guide to Riding the Waves of Change

When Life Moves at Warp Speed: Navigating the Full Moon & Retrogrades

Life has been coming at us so fast lately, hasn’t it? I’ll be honest: there have been so many plot twists, I keep telling myself, “I should send a blog out helping everyone navigate this,” and then—just as I’m about to sit down and do it….another episode unfolds! If you’ve felt like you’re living in a season finale cliffhanger that never quite ends, you’re not alone.

Take a deep breath with me. The energy right now is asking us to slow down, and this Full Moon in Capricorn (July 10) is one of those rare pauses—an invitation to step back, reflect, and get real about what truly matters.

Full Moon in Capricorn: Building Strength Amid Plot Twists
Capricorn Full Moons are about reality checks. This one shines a light on our need for structure, boundaries, and achievement—but it’s also about letting go of the “shoulds” and finding the next right step, even if the road ahead keeps shifting. If Cancer season (where the Sun is) stirs our emotions and need for comfort, Capricorn says, “Okay, but where do you want to go from here?”

What this Full Moon brings:

• Truths exposed: You may feel the urge to get serious about your goals, work, or even your boundaries. If there’s a situation you’ve been trying to ignore or control, it could surface now—asking for honesty.
• A push to grow up: Capricorn energy is mature and asks, “Are you taking responsibility for your next chapter?” If you’ve felt tossed around by life lately, this Moon helps you see where you need stronger foundations.
• The tension of change: Life isn’t asking for perfection—it’s asking you to show up, even if you’re still figuring it out.

How to Navigate:

• Ground yourself in simple routines: When life’s moving fast, anchor into what you can control—healthy meals, movement, sleep, a to-do list that’s realistic, not overwhelming.
• Let go of the old manual: If you’re waiting for things to “go back to normal,” this Full Moon is a gentle nudge to create a new normal, one real step at a time.
• Look at what’s working: Capricorn rewards effort. Celebrate small wins. Progress counts more than perfection.
• Ask: what’s my next right action? Don’t try to map the whole future. Just take the next step with integrity.

Retrogrades: The Universe’s Pause & Review Button

Just as we get our bearings, the outer planets invite us to slow down and reassess. Retrogrades aren’t punishments—they’re cosmic invitations to review, reflect, and realign.

Neptune Retrograde in Aries - July 4, 2025 – December 11, 2025
Neptune retrograde strips away illusions. If you’ve been chasing a dream or ignoring something important, clarity comes—sometimes through confusion first. This is a time for spiritual reset, to reconnect honestly with your intuition.

Ask yourself: Where do I need to see more clearly? What’s ready for an honest look, even if it’s uncomfortable?

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius - May 2, 2025 – October 11, 2025
Pluto retrograde is deep soul work. Old power struggles, fears, or obsessions may surface. This is the season to purge what no longer serves you, heal old wounds, and claim your authentic power.

Ask yourself: What am I truly ready to release? Where am I being called to step up and reclaim my strength?

Saturn Retrograde in Aries - July 12, 2025 – November 29, 2025
Saturn retrograde is a structural review. It’s not about pushing forward, but about checking your foundations: boundaries, commitments, discipline. Saturn in Aries makes it personal—where do you need to step into self-leadership with more patience and maturity?

Ask yourself: What structures in my life need rebuilding? Am I being too hard—or too lenient—on myself?
