“Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. (Capricorn Supreme!)

As Mars completes his final days in Scorpio, it's a true metamorphosis, death and rebirth and finality to a long-standing cycle that could take us back to November of 2012. We're definitely at the "enough is enough" stage on so many levels. This Full Moon reveals which chains still bind. It's up to us to release the bondage and set ourselves free once and for all.

This month's Full Moon in Capricorn is full of gravitas and sobering potential. With Mars in Scorpio in mutual reception to Pluto in Capricorn, it's time to bury the past, forgive the grudge, do the shadow work and move forward with integrity. Death to the deadly defense mechanism of demonizing others. The price we pay both personally and collectively is beyond tragic at this point.

This Full Moon literally invokes the archetype of the Devil, XV Trump in the Tarot and reveals that which is binding us, enslaving us and creating any version of a living hell we may be fighting to free ourselves from (or willingly submitting ourselves to via denial, repression and other self-sabotaging defenses). It also reveals the dynamic of "scapegoating" versus taking responsibility. Saturn rules this Full Moon so personal responsibility for our actions, feelings and choices is paramount. Emotional mastery is the goal of this Full Moon ( it coincides with a Grand Water Trine between Mars in Scorpio-Chiron in Pisces--and the Sun in Cancer.) Let your feelings pierce and cleanse you. If you resist, panic or depression may set in as a result. Don't however--- buy into any downward negative spirals of the mind.
