On Tuesday, July 3, the full Moon will be one of the most potent and potentially combustible of the year. Capricorn is cardinal Earth sign, ruling our integrity, bone structure and moral fabric. Full Moons are culmination points in our lives, where the issues inherent in the zodiac sign reach some kind of fever pitch. With Capricorn, we are being confronted by cracks in our integrity. Since Capricorn is ruled by Saturn — boundaries, father complexes, rules — many of these issues are sure to come to a head this week.
With four planets in the sign of the taskmaster: it’s time to get serious about time. The Devil will find work for idle hands — don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today — these are all quotes straight from Saturn. The more you procrastinate, the more you’re begging for depression to set in. We beat ourselves up for actions not taken only adding to the weight of the learned helplessness response of “what’s the point?” Depression is Saturn’s domain: anger turned inward. We’re often hardest on ourselves, and that is not the way to make constructive change. Saturn rules perfectionism. We want to get it right and cut out all the time-wasting, superfluous, superficial nonsense. If we can accept what is no longer working in our behavior patterns and have the faith and patience in ourselves to work towards making the correction, we can turn Saturn into our ally. Perfectionism can be a form of self-hatred and self-sabotage. Masochism is unconscious Capricorn and Saturn. It’s all about intention and focus. We must be true to our own path — this is also dharma. Time is in our mind. It is an illusion. It expands or contracts depending on our level of consciousness. When we are present and focused — time expands. When we structure our time — it expands. When set an intention — time expands. When we space out — time contracts.
During this time of great cardinal initiation, as we reach peak energies, I’ve noticed a theme subtly running though the last few weeks. While all of us have been distracted by planets in the signs of Aries, Libra, and Capricorn, we’ve been missing quiet Cancer poking and prodding at our deeper core.
Personally, the issues coming up since the peak of the Cardinal Climax are root related. Cancer, after all, is the missing cardinal element. It’s as if the t-square is pointing towards Cancer as an area of intense yet subtle focus, demanding we tend to our families, our ancestors, and what really nurtures our souls. Take a tip from Saturn in Libra: the key to the Cardinal Climax is isn’t the power struggles of Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus. No, it’s all about balancing out these astral heavyweights and getting in touch with our past. […]
The following guest post was originally published on the blog Empowering Astrology and is written by Katie Sweetman, manager of SaturnSisters.com and an astrologer in her own right. Now that Saturn has entered Libra, we’re in the heart of what is known as the “Cardinal Climax” — a time that will surely speak of big changes for everyone on this planet.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in the Cardinal Climax. You don’t have to be hip to astrology or a total wonk to know that something is going on with our world. Earthquakes. Unparalleled man made disasters. Awakenings. Major shifts for which there is no return. The show has only started and the headliner — August’s cardinal grand cross — is about to take stage. Are you ready?
For the past decade, if not longer, astrologers have been speculating about this summer’s Cardinal Climax because it is and truly will be a once in a lifetime event. Financial astrologer Ray Merriman first coined this term back in 1999, recognizing that the outer planets aligning in the early cardinal degrees would signal some sort of upheaval and not just for the markets. While we astrologers might nerd out on aspects and modalities, trading theories about what this time might mean for the world, it’s one thing to write about it and another to experience it. […]
We apologize for being MIA in the last few months — haven’t had much time to post. But with this weekend’s news regarding the devastating earthquake in Chile on the heels of last month’s events in Haiti, commentary is a must. This is a very clear lens through which we can see and measure the energy of the transits we find ourselves living under right now. With Pluto (planet of massive transformation) in Capricorn (an Earth sign), earthquakes are no surprise. Capricorn represents structure: the bones of our body and the infrastructure of our communities. This includes bridges, roads, and the walls of our homes. Pluto made an exact square to Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn, on January 31st — almost the precise midpoint between the two earthquakes. […]
A few weeks ago we blogged about the “revolutionary” direction the country seemed headed in. The teabaggers and their lot were (and still are) ranting about god knows what, led by their Moron in Chief Glenn Beck. But thank the stars that we have Michael Moore, whose new movie Capitalism: A Love Story, tells the truth. In…
As our country commemorates the 8th anniversary of the darkness that was 9/11, Pluto, himself the prince of darkness, goes direct in Capricorn. During a week that saw President Obama heckled during a congressional address, the gap between reality and insanity grows ever wider. Glenn Beck’s “grassroots” 9/12 movement, actually sponsored by lobbyists, is populated by…
Michael Moore’s latest film is called Capitalism: A Love Story. With Pluto moving back to direct motion on September 11th, 2009, the October release will come just in time for us to properly analyze the full measure of the current moment in history. “Green shoots” or not, oligarchy must loosen its grip in the next decade, or…
Pluto in Capricorn is awakening the darkest fears in the hearts of the ignorant. Pluto, as the god of the underworld, rules death and rebirth. The “birthers” have given birth to the “deathers”, a new cult of Obama-haters spewing lies about his health care plan. Fox News and Sarah Palin and the lobbyists working for the…

Just another example of life imitating astrology here (via Alternet). If you’ve been following this blog since late 2007, you know that we’ve been talking about such issues since before the economy went bust. Everyday there are new memes in the universe and on the web, ones that support our hypothesis. As America experiences its 8th…
