Full Moon in Capricorn: Releasing Workaholism & Rigidity (June/July)

Understanding Full Moon in Capricorn Energy

The full moon in Capricorn illuminates the shadow side of the CEO—workaholism, emotional coldness, rigidity, and the belief that your worth equals your productivity. While Capricorn energy at its best creates sustainable success, at its worst it creates burnout and joyless achievement.

Occurring between June 21 and July 22 (opposite the Cancer sun), this full moon asks: "Are you working to live or living to work? Where has your ambition become obsession? Where has discipline become rigidity? Where have you sacrificed joy for success?"

This is the time to release workaholism, let go of rigidity, and remember that you are more than what you achieve.

Final Thoughts: Descend the Mountain

The full moon in Capricorn teaches us that success without joy is not success. Achievement without rest is not sustainable. Climbing without ever descending is exhausting.

You are not a machine. You are a human. You need rest, play, emotions, and joy. Your worth is not your productivity.

Descend the mountain. Rest. Feel. Play. Be human.
