The Second Consecutive Capricorn Full Moon (and the Secret Committee of Men Who Run the World)

Dear Friend and Reader:

Sunday, July 21, the Moon comes to full phase in the sign Capricorn for the second time this year. The first was just past the northern solstice on June 21.

Because the lunar month is slightly shorter than a solar month (the time the Sun takes to move one sign), if there is a lunation early in the month, it can happen again in the same sign a month later.

This is not a “blue moon.” That is when there are two Full Moons within the same calendar month, which is a pointless concept. However, two consecutive Full Moons in the same sign is something to write about. Here is my coverage of the first Cap Moon from last month.

Between them was the Cancer New Moon on July 5.

Full Moon Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius

The Full Moon is conjunct Pluto, though they are in adjoining degrees of Capricorn and Aquarius respectively. Still, that is a close conjunction, and it’s arriving with all the intensity you might expect.

There is also a feeling of isolation and loneliness with this setup, accentuated by the emotional intensity of full phase. This lunar placement can have a bit of victim trip to it, though it’s also an extraordinarily powerful placement.

The Capricorn Moon is one of the most difficult but also meaningful signs it can occupy, being opposite the Moon’s domicile Cancer. People with the Capricorn Moon (in no special order) include David Byrne, Lucille Ball, Laurie Anderson, Mumia Abu Jamal, Abe Lincoln, Stevie Nicks, Adolf Hitler, my mother, several of my most important girlfriends, one of my closest male friends, and my fallen comrade, labor union organizer Jane F. McAlevey (coverage on tomorrow’s Planet Waves FM).

Take it from an expert: It is quite the Moon. And it’s not easy to have as a natal placement. It can leave people feeling cut off and wondering where they are ever going to find emotional sustenance. These individuals require special care, and they also need to be in charge of something that matters. Many with this Moon have no concept of their power.

For women in particular, anyone would do anything they ask. It would be the perfect placement for a dominatrix. This Moon is sexually compelling and downright hormonal in a way only matched by the Scorpio Moon.

A Cryptic Message: Capricorn 30 and the Deep State

This lunation takes place in the last degree of the sign, called Capricorn 30. Given current events, this is an especially mysterious thing. There is a degree-by-degree catalog of images for degrees called the Sabian Symbols. It describes and gives a little story for each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac.

Capricorn 30 is about a secret committee of men who run the world. While the author of this edition (first published in 1973) says this is about “executive power.” Yet it’s really about the power behind the executive — the secret committee rather than the known figure who puts his signature on the documents.

My concept of a subscription is — it’s worth it. By that I mean you will feel good for being a subscriber and get more than you paid for. Plus, I’m actually available; I participate in the comments, answer questions, take suggestions and much else. Thank you for becoming a subscriber. More good stuff coming as the world wobbles on its axis into 2025 and 2026…

What Rudhyar is taking about here is currently known as the “deep state.” He calls it the “inner government.” It’s an old concept. Probably a shade or two older than ancient Egypt. If you want a somewhat recent example of a documented inner government, consider Tammany Hall — the Irish social club that ran politics in New York City and much of New York State for more than a century.

By the way, the word “telluric,” used above, pertains to the Earth itself, and also in New Age philosophy to the energy current running through the Earth.

The Committee Has Been Busy

This loose affiliation of billionaires and trillionaires has been busy lately, planning all kinds of activity and important people not getting shot.

The soiree currently unfolding in Milwaukee is a diversion; that’s a production of the Entertainment Division.

I’ll be probing into the details on tomorrow night’s Planet Waves FM.

Peace, love and Woodstock,

Your faithful astrologer,

Your midyear reading is a self-therapy and motivational tool I’m creating to help you through these difficult times. A therapy session these days goes for hundreds of dollars. These readings are $33 each and $111 for the set. A cocktail goes for $16 plus tax and tip. This is a much better investment, it lasts longer, and your only hangover is feeling better.
