A Full Super Moon In Capricorn Is On The Horizon — Here's What To Know

The full moon arrives this Monday, July 3 at 7:39 a.m. EST in the sign of stern and serious Capricorn. As astrology expert Imani Quinn tells mindbodygreen, Capricorn is all about longterm goals, while July's full moon is also known as the "Buck Moon."

It's named as such because around this time of year, male deer's antlers reach their full growth, Quinn explains, adding this parallel speaks to the energy of this full moon as well. "It's a reminder of what's coming into full maturity in your life right now. Capricorn is success-oriented and focused on hard work, so you're paying attention to what you've been putting effort into—and what has culminated," she says.

Meanwhile, of course, we are still the midst of Cancer season, the opposite sign of Capricorn. As Quinn explains, these opposing energies have us residing in both our heads and our hearts. And according to her, it offers us an opportunity to make sure both of them are aligning.

"Since the full moon is about letting go and releasing what doesn't serve us, what do you find within the head and heart that aren't aligning? And what is being asked to let go?" she suggests asking yourself.

With this Cancer-Capricorn complementation underway, she adds, nurturing yourself will be of utmost importance. "Stay the course on your vision and don't lose sight of your purpose, and [remember] you also need your love the most," Quinn explains.

1.

Write a list of what you want to release

Thinking about Capricorn themes of longterm goals, ask yourself what needs to be released in order for you to get there. Quinn advises making a list of these things on a piece of paper, and then safely burning it, for a full moon ritual.

She recommends having water nearby, in part for protection, but also for alkalizing your ritual under this full moon as you burn what you're intending to let go.

2.

Get in touch with your emotions

Because this full moon is falling during a water sign season, Quinn also recommends getting in touch with your feelings, however that looks for you.

Perhaps you drop in with some breathwork, take a spiritual bath, meditate, or do some journaling. In any case, she says, just do something "that allows you to sit and contemplate on the things that you're feeling and what's coming up, and then writing it down and being present for that process."

3.

Reconnect with your purpose
