The second and final Full Moon in Capricorn for 2024 arrives on July 21st, 2024 at 6:17 am EDT. We are right at the end of Cancer season, gearing up to change signs and move our focus to stabilizing the energy that's been initiated. But before we begin that journey, this Full Moon in Capricorn asks us to clear away the last remaining sludge and energetic essence that’s ready to be discarded. This may correlate to a major ending or wrap-up in your life, where one method of practical nurturing has served its purpose and is preparing to be released, or perhaps there's a realization of a new adventure slowly unfolding in front of you.
This is not something that happens and simply ends, but instead will be continued through the cycle of astrological energies moving into this Fall. On September 1st, Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn and reignite the intensity, work, and meanings of that sign and house for you, but under a new understanding and purpose inspired by whatever has been cleared away from the previous Full Moons. This is the last time Pluto will enter into Capricorn in our lifetimes, and it may correspond to an equally significant spark and redistribution of power and control in a particular area of your life.
Let’s look at where this Full Moon astrology is happening for you specifically.
CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING
This Summer has brought a significant reevaluation of who you are, how you want to be known, and the histories, stories, and events that have shaped your life up to this point. The second Full Moon in Capricorn relates to the month-long journey of self you began back in June, and this final release may be feeling more intense and obvious. It may manifest as a literal chapter of your life ending, but where there’s also an equal opportunity to step into a period of rebirth and empowerment, as this Full Moon is conjunct Pluto. You’re finally understanding the pieces of self you need to dive deep into and solidify as you begin this next journey of personal transformation and growth.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has brought a more long-term but still equally intense focus on your income, money, and resources - all the ways you provide for yourself and your existence. In September, Pluto will dip back into Capricorn to finish the work the Full Moons here have cleared away. During this lunation, iron out the parts of yourself you’re truly letting go of, knowing there’s still intense work to be done in your journey of becoming authentic and in love with your life.
AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING
There’s been a recent and perhaps intense release from pain points in your life, especially those that are hidden from outside view, including your mental health, relationship with loss, and how you heal or work through hardships alone or in isolation. This is the last Full Moon in Capricorn, which relates to the first one on June 21, and is all about clearing away the old wounds and painful stories that you may deal with alone, either now or in the past. You may be coming to a point in your healing journey where you’re able to discard or even transform these stagnant stories into something that's more meaningful and helpful. Part of this transformation is due to Pluto being very close to this Full Moon.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, and has been slowly adding a layer of intensification around figuring out who you are and how you wish to present yourself. But its retrograde movement and reentry back into Capricorn in September will want to make sure the hidden foundations of your persona are strong. As you clear away old beliefs, it’s also a good time to get firmer on how you wish to maintain your mental health and inner landscape.
PISCES & PISCES RISING
Your friend groups, communities, and shared spaces both online and in-person have been going through a bit of a transition with these Full Moons in Capricorn. Beginning in late June, there’s been a moment of peak awareness and potentially even clearing away around your friend groups, community spaces, and who you choose to surround yourself with. Even if this hasn’t been due to any action on your part, you’re still learning what it means to show up in a community and have fun with others under these changes and reconfigurations. This last Full Moon here is also giving you the opportunity to become clear on what your standards and desires are for your friendships, and what’s needed to fulfill them.
Part of what makes this Full Moon more intense and deeply felt is due to the conjunction with Pluto. Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, and this has brought more focus on your mental health, being alone, and how you heal or work through challenging internal dynamics. But Pluto will reenter Capricorn in the Fall to finish up some of the work these Full Moons have started, which is becoming confident and solid on your intentions and expectations for your community and friendships and/or other external relationships.
ARIES & ARIES RISING
This Summer has brought a significant turning point regarding your career, public reputation, and work or efforts you put out in the world. In late June, we had the first Full Moon in Capricorn that began the process of clearing away old, stagnant public opinions, work roles, or beliefs you’ve held about your purpose in the world. Those efforts continue under this last Full Moon but also reach a point of intensification and awareness around what it is you’re truly letting go of and creating space for in your life. You may not know what you’re stepping into, or where you're supposed to go, but you will know exactly what it is you no longer wish to be. Pluto will help facilitate the rebirth process as needed.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has brought more energy and attention to your friend groups, community spaces, and socialization both online and in person. But after these Full Moons, Pluto will continue to retrograde back into Capricorn for the Fall, reorienting focus onto your career and public roles once more. Here, you’ll be asked to fill in the work roles or public spaces that you’ve cleared away, but with a much deeper understanding and purpose behind the actions.
TAURUS & TAURUS RISING
Your long-term plans, future direction, overarching religion or beliefs, and higher education are all coming to an intense release with this final Full Moon in Capricorn. Since the end of June, you may’ve been more closely examining your future direction, education plans, or even philosophical beliefs that govern your life and whether or not they’re continuing to support you. A significant moment of clarity and understanding about what you no longer wish to pursue or put forth any more effort into may become obvious under this last Full Moon, and potentially even more intense, as the Moon is conjunct Pluto. Pay attention to the redirection as it presents itself, it’s also telling you something important about yourself and how you desire to show up externally to the world.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has brought more intensification and energetic output into your career, public roles, and work in the world. But shortly after this clearing away from these Full Moons, Pluto will backtrack to Capricorn and begin to put more intense focus on creating a rebirth of beliefs and a deeper understanding of what your future direction now holds. This vision will only become obvious once you decide what you're no longer engaging in now.
GEMINI & GEMINI RISING
This Summer has brought an intense focus around your shared resources, financial agreements, and commitments you have with another that involve monetary exchanges, or inheritances. Since the end of June, something has been growing to a peak point of energy, gearing up for that final release, the last signature on the contract, or the final payment on the installment, to bring together a major point of removal or celebration in this area of your life. It may feel more intense too, especially under this Full Moon, as the Moon is conjunct Pluto which can always bring up some fears or uncertainties. This area of our life is one where we share control with others, so it’s important to be clear on what's your role in the process and where you have to be a little more hands-off.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has been deepening your focus on your long-term plans and future visions, but will retrograde back into Capricorn this Fall. This reentry to the sign of the Full Moon will help you iron out and clarify what these lunations have cleared away or made more unstable. You’ll be given the opportunity to reform the collaborations and commitments so you're in it for the long haul.
CANCER & CANCER RISING
One-on-one relationships and close partnerships both romantic and platonic have been under an intense shift with these Full Moons in Capricorn starting at the end of June. You may have noticed the close people in your life going through a change themselves, like perhaps they’re developing a new understanding about who they want to become and how they want to show up in their life. Or perhaps you’re developing a deeper understanding about what you need from your relationships, and have been clearing away the dynamics and patterns that no longer support your long-term vision for growth and change. This may feel a little intense, but it’s because it is, and not a change that will be felt lightly as relationships often act as a mirror to yourself as well.
Pluto is partly the reason for the intensification of this energy, as Pluto has been in early Aquarius since January which has brought more awareness and understanding around your financial commitments and resources you share with another. Pluto will return to Capricorn this Fall, which will bring that same energy to your relationships, helping you refine and strengthen those close connections that survive or are born from these Full Moons. All the ways you relate to others will be under review and transformation.
LEO & LEO RISING
Your daily work routines, work schedule, relationships with coworkers, pet needs, and body health have been going through a major release and removal this Summer. Starting with the first Full Moon in Capricorn in late June, you’ve been reevaluating the balance between work and play, body and mind health, and whether your current routines are conducive to those efforts or not. This last Full Moon may bring a major point of awareness and recognition around what responsibilities, frustrations, or obligations in your day-to-day work life you need to let go of long-term to better support what's truly healing and meaningful to you. This rebalancing may mean keeping your plates empty for a period of time, but only temporarily.
Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has put the intensity and emphasis on your one-on-one relationships and close personal partnerships. In the Fall, Pluto will retrograde back in Capricorn and begin to fill in the space the Full Moons have initially cleared away. During this lunation, it’s important to become clear on what's a non-negotiable for you in your daily work life, what you never wish to do again, and what’s a growing vision you’d like to step into next. The new adventure awaits.
VIRGO & VIRGO RISING
Your creative work, artistic designs, self-expression, children, and the ways you have fun through your hobbies have been the focus of big release and transformation under these Full Moons in Capricorn. Since the end of June, you’ve been diving deep into creative projects or ways you create as a form of self-expression. This may’ve translated to a release of big pieces of work as a display or letting go of old hobbies and mediums that no longer match your energy. You may be changing completely in the ways you seek out fun and create, and instead focusing more on longer-term work and personal development. Perhaps you’re finding that you’re growing in a different direction, and it’s time to ensure your hobbies mirror the internal shift you’re experiencing.
Pluto adds a layer of intensity to this Full Moon, and has been lingering in the early degrees of Aquarius since January. This has brought more energy to your daily work life, work routines, and even body health. But Pluto’s retrograde return to Capricorn will put the effort and time into your creative possibilities, especially after the Full Moons cleared away what was no longer needed. This transformational growth will help you feel more in alignment with your soul path.
LIBRA & LIBRA RISING
This Summer has brought a major clearing away and repositioning of your home and family life, relationships with parents, and past childhood memories or legacies. This final Full Moon in Capricorn may bring the ultimate release or awareness of what truly needs to change in your foundation and home life for you to feel structurally sound and supported. Old living patterns, or even philosophies around how you were raised or what’s expected of you at home may be ready to be let go of so you can start to forge your own home values. Only you can determine what’s important for you to keep and for you to let go of and move away from.
Becoming clear on those values and qualities you desire for your home life will be important because this Full Moon is also conjunct Pluto which adds another layer of intensity. Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, where he’s diving deep into your children and creative life and putting more of your focus there. Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn this Fall and shift that intense transformational energy onto your home life, living environment, and family. In the meantime, be prepared to clear out enough space so that there’s room to build anew.
SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING
Day-to-day rituals, sweet conversations, errands, siblings, and close friends who feel like siblings have been the focus of great change and release under this Full Moon in Capricorn. Since late June, you’ve been adjusting your everyday living and routines, how you go out in your local community, and who you interact with on the regular. You’re recognizing the ways you need to change old daily patterns or practices because they no longer support who you are or how you’re growing in your life. This Full Moon may bring the final clearing away or a big announcement of your major redirections and what new future-oriented growth you’re stepping into. This emptying is important as it won’t stay empty for long, new energy is waiting to be reborn.
Pluto is the facilitator behind this transformational energy, as the Full Moon is conjunct the planet of death and rebirth. Since January, Pluto has been increasing the attention on your home and family. But in the Fall, Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn and finish the work the Full Moons have started. You’ll be asked to be intentional about how you wish to see your daily life grow and take shape, as it will definitely get busier as time progresses.
SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING
This Summer has brought a lot of attention and energy to your finances, money, and resources in your life. Since late June, there may’ve been a clearing away or peak release of these energies, perhaps some major investments or purchases have to be made or just unexpected expenses that lead to some sort of release of finances or overall feeling supported. This current Full Moon brings the last of the clearing away, wrapping up whatever has begun a month ago and releasing the final obligations. Even if this is an obvious loss, it may be a mindset shift around what or who is a resource for you and how you want to continue to build it up.
Part of what makes this Full Moon more intense than others is due to the conjunction with Pluto. Pluto has been in Aquarius since January, which has made your daily living and day-to-day life busier and more of a drain of your energy. However, Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn this Fall, and refocus the energy onto rebuilding your money and resources back up again, but with an entirely new theory and mindset behind what or why you’re doing what you’re doing. All of this is to support your long-term transformation and growth.
