Full Moon at 11° Capricorn, Wednesday, July 29th, 2026
Nakshatra: Shravana

The Full Moon in Capricorn is directly opposite the Sun/Jupiter in Cancer. This is one of the most charged lunations of the year. Moon is conjunct retrograde Pluto.

The Moon’s conjunction to Pluto is the heart of this lunation’s intensity. Pluto works underground, in the roots, in the places we don’t examine until something forces us to. When the Moon meets Pluto, our feelings go deep into truth. What comes up this week has been fermenting for months, maybe longer, in the unconscious. Pluto conjunct the Moon asks for total honesty about what we feel, not the curated version, not the version that keeps the peace. Issues around control, power, loyalty, or survival demand your full expression rather than your “management”.

Across from that Moon-Pluto conjunction sits the Sun fused with Jupiter in Cancer… so close to exact that traditional astrologers call it cazimi. Jupiter is purified in the Sun’s fire, amplifying every Cancerian theme of security, home environment, and emotionally safety. The Sun-Jupiter conjunction wants to expand, to trust, and to believe. Opposite the Moon’s meeting with Pluto, this creates real tension between the impulse toward more light and the pull toward the depths. Cancer says FEEL, Pluto says first tell the truth about what’s buried. Both are necessary, and this full moon holds them in the sky at the same time.

The Moon trine Uranus during this lunation offers a doorway through the intensity. Uranus in Gemini opens channels of sudden insight, conversations that shift something, information that arrives right on time. If the Moon-Pluto conjunction brings the depth and the Sun-Jupiter conjunction brings the expansion, the trine to Uranus lets a genuine breakthrough instead of just building pressure. Pay attention to what clicks into place during these days almost by accident. That’s the trine doing its work.

Ritually, this is a full moon for truth telling rather than performance. Write down what you’ve been avoiding feeling. Name the resentments you have about power dynamics in your own life – whether that’s in a relationship, a workplace, or your relationship to your own authority. Then ask what to build from that honesty. Held together, under a Capricorn Moon, that death and that expansion serve something bigger than either one alone: a self strong enough to shine, and generous enough to shine for more than itself.
