Here’s a grounded ritual for steady success.
When the sun is in Cancer, the full moon rises in Capricorn—a beautiful celestial balance between the soft and the strong, the mystical and the practical, the inner world and the outer climb. It’s the perfect time to get clear on your goals and commit to the path ahead.
In 2025, the Capricorn full moon lands on Thursday, July 10. And it’s magic? It’s all about focus, discipline, and long-term vision. Capricorn energy reminds us that even the loftiest accomplishments unfold one step at a time.
Harnessing the Energy of the Capricorn Full Moon
Full moons are always powerful, but this one is especially perfect for goal-setting, grounding, and calling in success. Think ambition, commitment, and the satisfaction that comes from real, tangible progress. It’s less about the sprint and more about the marathon.
Here’s a ritual to help you tap into this earthy energy and use it to forge victoriously ahead.
Capricorn Full Moon Ritual for Focused Manifestation
What you’ll need:
-
An incense or essential oil from the list below
- An incense holder or oil burner (and lighter) or oil diffuser
-
Pen and paper
-
Optional: one or more Capricorn-aligned crystals (see below)
1. Set the mood.
Light your candle and your chosen scent. Let the flame and fragrance begin to soften your energy and bring you into presence.
2. Breathe and center.
Sit comfortably. Take a few deep, grounding breaths. Let your thoughts settle. Feel your weight on the earth. Let your awareness fill your body.
3. Write your goals.
Now, write out your goals and intentions in the present tense, as if they’re already happening. Include every area of your life—career, love, creativity, health, home, family, money, magic. Let yourself dream, but also think in practical, grounded terms. What do you truly want to build?
Note: Even if you’ve written out your goals recently, do it again. You’ve likely grown since then. Use this moment to recalibrate.
4. Extinguish the candle.
Once you’ve finished writing, blow out the candle and put out the incense. You’re not done yet—but you’ve planted the seeds.
Moonlight Visualization
When the moon is visible (or even if it’s not), go outside with your list. Stand under the sky and hold your intentions to your heart.
Breathe deeply. Imagine you’ve already reached your goals. What does that feel like? Let yourself feel the triumph, the peace, the joy. Feel it in your body. Let it be real.
Call on the Goddess, the Divine, your guides—whoever you work with—to support you in your efforts. Ask for the strength to keep showing up. Set the intention to move forward, one solid step at a time. Then, feel once again the energy of success: you made it. You climbed the mountain. You’re standing at the summit.
Offer gratitude—to Spirit, yourself, and the path.
Seal the Spell
Take your goal list home. Fold it toward you with each fold, symbolizing that all of it is coming your way. Place it on your altar or near your workspace, and set a crystal on top.
Speaking of which…
