I remembered the Moon was full tonight when it shone so brightly through my window that I had trouble sleeping!
The Moon is full early in the morning on July 18, and the chart of this lunar event includes the Capricorn Moon and the Cancer Sun, the polarities of achievement and success (Capricorn) balanced with home and family (Cancer) requiring alignment and balance.
Virtually all of the major aspects from the New Moon are still in play: the conjunction of Mars to Saturn, the conjunction of Chiron to the North Node. This lunation will shine a bright light anywhere in our lives where we have not yet balanced our outer (Capricorn) and inner (Cancer) worlds. An opposition from Mercury in Cancer to Jupiter in Capricorn echoes the Sun/Moon polarity and seeks to bring a more conscious element of choice and understanding (Mercury) that will serve to expand our awareness (Jupiter).
This opening into a new awareness continues until the 22nd when the Sun enters Leo and a creative energy suffuses us with the desire to express ourselves in new ways, and a trine of Mercury (thought and communication to Uranus (innovation and authenticity) inspires us to accelerate our understanding and learn new ideas and new pathways.

Very nice, Lynn! Your blog's new home is shaping up nicely. :-)
I had trouble getting to sleep last night too. Full Moon makes my mind buzz . . .
So how does this affect our candidates? Phil is gone or is he? Obama is traveling the globe, but where? Did McCain's loose lips cause problems?
Congratulations on your new move. Hope it brings you all wonderful things.
Just wondering if there's a way to set posts to full post instead of abbreviated in our readers. That would be fantastic if you could.
Lynn, congratulations on your new home! May blessings and light continue to flow for you.
In my location, the Full Moon looked just like the illustration, a glowing, deep red, awesome and eerie at the same time. With a lot of Cancer placements in my chart (ASC, ME, VE, and SA), I usually experience strong reactions to full moons. Even though that red moon held a spooky fascination for me, it also kind of creeped me out.
I'm interested to see what the next weeks will bring.
How amazing, Sunny, to see a red moon like this. Ours was white, white, white as a laser moonbeam.
