Blessed Full Moon tribe!
Are you nurturing yourselves during this cycle?
This is primarily the magic that is being given to us through embracing these potent energies of this Capricorn moon.
We are also given opportunities to pull the plug on heavy situations, or cutting them out completely.
The release has been happening for a while now, and whatever is released makes room for new or "lighter feelings" opportunities to come in.
Give your nervous system some time out.
This Lunar Month began with a New Moon in Cancer, which supported us in setting intentions for self care, increased nurture and tenderness.
Remember that as July progresses, this lunation may fill us with a deep need to improve our social status, realizing our dreams, bringing into focus what achieving material success looks like to us individually and give us new motivation to initiate new projects.
This Moon in Capricorn is filled with opportunities for successes and achievements.
The energy also motivates conciseness, precision, efficiency, organization, and reliability in balance with our integrity, and at the same time, magnifies our vulnerability,
Realities that are masked, impartialities, insensitivity and coldness may uncover themselves for further investigation is possible as well.
Utilize the power of this moon to shut out to distractions to aid in being productive in setting a stable framework to build upon.
Dealing with issues of a sensitive matter can be achieved through giving yourself grace, and by not being too hard on yourself. The fear of rejection might may find you feeling insecure.
Let Go of judgments, anger and resentment, lead by example.
Organs influenced by this moon sign are the knees, joints, backbone, spinal muscles, patella, bones, tendons and ligaments, skin, hair, and the spleen.
These organs are more sensitive so take extra care.
Surgical operations are strongly NOT recommended during the Full Moon!

Interesting to note, that although there is an asana to facilitate bringing in yin energy called Moon Salutation, in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, yoga is not practiced on the full moon or new moon. These are called "moon days" and are days of rest for practitioners.
In Ashtanga, it is believed that there is an overabundance of "prana," or life force energy, during the full moon, which causes too much imbalance for a good practice. During the new moon, Ashtangis believe there is too much "apana," the life force of elimination, which causes too much heaviness for practice. Since dedicated Ashtangis practice six days a week, it's probably beneficial to take a few days of rest each month! In my practice, I typically do a nourishing practice, and seeing as how the energies at the moment are all about stability around security, I find that it enhances my ability to focus on giving my body what it is needing. This Yin Yoga flow is great for cleansing the meridian of the kidney. In Chinese medicine, the kidney meridian relates to courage, and will power. This meridian begins at the pinky toe, wraps around the ankle, and flows up the inner leg. Passing near the bladder, up through the abdomen, and chest, it connects to the throat and tongue. THe flow combines dynamic goddess pose, standing wide legged forward bend, tree pose (left right side), extended triangle pose (R & L), side squat flow, lizard pose (R & L), extended childs pose, pigeon pose, seated wide angle forward bend, supine twist variation (R & L), and ending in corpse pose. ( DISCLAIMER: If you are new to yoga, please take your time and listen to your body, and in general, if you are under the care of a doctor, use discernment). Yin yoga has been deeply nourishing and I'm sharing my practice so that you may find inspiration in bringing some yummy nourishment in at this time through stretching and moving your body. eliminate stress and to move and shift the energy.
I also shared a video on TikTok with a Full Moon intuitive message for the collective. Take time to listen to the message and feel what resonates.
