The upcoming full moon is a Thunder Moon. Prepare for pressure from all sides

The full moon in Capricorn this Sunday (July 21) promises to be particularly intense. This full moon is also known as the Thunder Moon, “a name given by Native Americans in reference to the frequent thunderstorms at this time of year,” explains wellness expert Olivia Bergström. After much soul-searching and self-reflection, the Thunder Moon will finally provide answers that will help us define our new foundations in line with who we are today.

This moon will also be at its closest apogee to Earth, which means an even stronger attraction. As an added bonus, it follows June 22’s full moon, also known as the Strawberry Full Moon, which was already in the sign of Capricorn, amplifying its effect.

What are the effects of the full moon in Capricorn on July 21, 2024?

“Capricorn, an Earth sign, helps us during this full moon to look at the mountain of work before us with serenity, eager to get to the top so we can contemplate the view,” explains Bergström. Although the effort can sometimes seem heavy, it’s crucial to focus on what’s really important to us through introspection. Ask yourself what activities and relationships you want to invest your energy and time into. This is also the ideal time to review your ambitions and objectives pragmatically and methodically. The keywords associated with Capricorn are work, ambition, determination, discipline, patience, pragmatism, responsibility, stability, structure and success. For this full moon, the mantra to remember is: Every day is a new beginning.

What rituals should you put in place to optimise the effects of this Full Moon in Capricorn?

Give back to the moon: Take advantage of this moment to release your doubts and uncertainties. Use this time to take an honest look at your fears and let them go.

Strengthen professional ties: Use this full moon to strengthen your professional relationships and move towards your career goals with determination.

Write intentions: Set intentions related to your professional and personal aspirations. Visualise these goals clearly and positively.

Inner exploration: Immerse yourself in an inspiring journal or book to nourish your mind and emotions. Use this time to reflect on your achievements and your next goals.

Self-care: Take time to recharge and reconnect with yourself, whether through meditation, yoga or a relaxing activity.

Use the energy of the full moon to recharge: At the time of the full moon, take the opportunity to go for a swim and enjoy the energy of the water charged by the moon’s light. You can also place a glass of water or a glass bottle on the windowsill under the moonlight and drink the water in the morning on an empty stomach. Sip on it throughout the day, little by little, to purify, energise and renew yourself. You can also use the water later in the bath to benefit from its powers.

Meditation: The full moon is a perfect opportunity to introspect. Meditating at this time allows you to refocus and ask yourself, “What do I want to free myself from?”

Recharging ritual: You can charge an important object dear to your heart —a stone, a jewel, a crystal—by leaving it at night by your window under moonlight. Then, carry it around with you to benefit from its effects.
