Hey y’all. Last week I was so obsessed with poetry, I overlooked the fact that the full moon falls on Monday July 3rd. Sometimes I do the Scopes through Sunday, sometimes Monday. I just plain fucked this up and missed the opportunity to give you guys a heads up. So I’m going to publish this as early as I can on Saturday or Sunday as opposed to my usual Monday
My hubs, who is nothing but supportive of me and my dreams, asked a good question. "Why do you stress yourself out when BitchScopes are offered for free?"
Good question, babe!
I have dabbled with the idea of pulling the Scopes from 12Listen and the blog and offering them on a subscription basis on Patreon or somewhere else. They are a lot of work. I spend the better part of my weekends writing and researching and recording. It is hours of work every week. Monthly scopes are actually worse. I have sat with this idea for months, and as I write this today, the thing that feels right for me is to create a subscription for them. So this I hope you understand where I’m coming from on this. I am on a journey just like you guys and this feels right for me. I truly hope you will continue to read and enjoy them.
** It’s been 24 hours since I typed the words above. This still feels right to me. After this week, BitchScopes can be read at Patreon.com/houseofbleep under the BitchScopes membership for $5 a month. I know some of you are like “ugh. It’s a patreon. I don’t understand patreon. It’s yet another website. I hate websites” I promise it isn’t that complicated. Click the link. I hope you’ll go on this journey with me. If you’re a podcast listener, episodes after this week will also be subscription based at $4.99 a month.
Having said all that, here’s the scoop for this week.
This full moon in Capricorn rises to maximum fullness in the wee weeee hours of the morning on Monday July 3rd. If you’re a night owl, you will be able to see it nearly at max fullness before you go to bed on Sunday July 2nd. But keep in mind that full moon energy is good for a day on either side, possibly more. So you don’t really need to get up at 3am to maximize your intention setting.
This moon will bring to fruition things you need to take responsibility for. The concept of responsibility is a Capricorn and Saturn thing for sure. The other thing that this moon will bring up is what is no longer working for you. As I typed that, I realized the sort of irony of all I just said above…ummm, yeah. Sooo, what’s not working for you? What projects are you pouring yourself into that don’t fit you anymore? What are you doing that other people expect of you that doesn’t align with who you are? Do you have too many irons in the fire? Are you working too hard or not hard enough? This moon will open up these inner dialogues.
Influences on this moon are: a sextile to Saturn, a trine to Jupiter, and an opposition to Mercury.
Saturn offers security and stability to your home life. Jupiter offers emotional growth and self understanding. And Mercury can add just a sprinkle of confusion to this. There could be difficulty understanding or communicating feelings that come up. Anxiety is not entirely unlikely either. But whatever comes up will also pass fairly quickly. The important thing is to do that inventory of what you put work into and see what still feels right. What are you willing to take responsibility for and what do you need to release?
I truly can’t believe how much those words are staring right at me, and I can’t emphasize enough how unintentional this was.
As for the rest of the week: There is a lot of “adjustment” energy afoot, which seems apropos after that full moon in Capricorn. Several quincunxes are the cause of this. When the taskmaster Saturn (who rules Cap) does his thing, duties are shuffled around and people are re-assigned and changes flow down the line.
Neptune is pretty active this week too, and he’s retrograde so things can feel extra hazy. The upside of this is that intuition is strong with Neptune in retrograde. You can touch in with your inner knowing much better than you can with facts and whatever reality is.
I had to look at my own chart to see if there are any clues in there about my accidental breakthrough here. The moon is conjunct my natal Neptune as I type this. Also, my Sun is parallel to Neptune in my natal chart, and this is akin to being a conjunction. When the sun is parallel or conjunct a planet in the natal chart, there’s a great deal of that planet’s energy bestowed up on the person. So in this way I am an honorary Pisces and tapped into my ruler Neptune. Mercury was also Cazimi, or conjunct the Sun, when I wrote my accidental epiphany...that kinda blows my mind.
Aaaaanyway, my intuition is really strong today!
Also at play this week - Mercury and Mars both change signs and move into Leo and Virgo respectively. Mercury in Leo is bold and expressive. Mars is about our actions. In Virgo, Mars is ethical, generous, determined, and practical. All in all this is a lot of energy that says take care of your business, say what’s on your mind, and do the right thing.
So with that, here’s your BitchScopes for this week. Love you bitches!
ARIES - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 10th house of career and public image. What aspects of your public image can you let go of? Is there something about your reputation that you’re clinging to too hard? Do you give too much of a fuck what people think of you? These are the things you are invited to let go of under this full moon. As Mars enters your 6th house of work, he will help you find practical solutions to these questions. Mercury moves into Leo and your 5th house, and empowers you to be bold and passionate. And with Neptune retrograding in your 12th house for the rest of this year, your meditation or dream life will be enhanced. Who needs other people’s opinions when you have all that?
TAURUS - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 9th house of big dreams and adventure. Your path forward is illuminated. Take a chance, make the leap of faith! You might possibly find yourself having a different belief system too. Changing your mind is a sign of growth, so embrace it. Mercury enters Leo and your 4th house of home and family. Is your home a true expression of who you are? Can you be your true self with your family? Meanwhile, Mars enters Virgo and your 5th house of romance. This is a great place for Mars and the pursuit of romance.
GEMINI - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 8th house of other people’s stuff. With Capricorn here, there is a strong energy of gain, so take control and make changes. With Neptune retrograding in your 10th house, your business intuition will be strong, but don’t be discouraged if you don’t see the true payoff until early next year. Mercury in Leo will empower your voice in a really big way, and Mars in Virgo motivates your sense of family devotion in a way you may not have felt in a long time.
CANCER - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 7th house of relationships. Emotions can run high in this kind of lunation so just be aware. This can make things very clear if there has been any uncertainty. Mercury in Leo empowers your 2nd house of income and value. Be bold and
Know your worth, both personally and professionally. Mars in Virgo in your 3rd will lend some really practical action steps and empowered communication to whatever you’re trying to accomplish. But this can be particularly helpful if emotions are running high in your relationship, because Virgo might be able to cool it down.
LEO - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 6th house of work. So you’re one of the signs that has some major professional juju working in your favor. If you are tasked with too much, or a lot of busy work, or things that don’t help your career trajectory, this is a great time to work on getting rid of those things. Mercury will be moving into your sign, giving a voice to your personal authority. (Why must I hear Cartman’s voice every time I type that word? Respect ma authoritah!) And Mars moves into Virgo in your 2nd house of income and value. Mars is motivated and Virgo is grounded and practical. You have so much energy to help you move ahead!
VIRGO - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 5th house of expression. This is your moment to own the stage, work the spotlight, walk like the pretty girls (a reference to the song “pretty girls walk”) and own your magic! Let go of what is holding you back. Fear? Fuck fear…you’re a Virgo! You have accomplished things! You get shit done! You rock a spreadsheet, bitch! Work! Mars will be in your sign as well, giving you all kinds of personal power. Let your imagination run wild with Mercury in your 12th house. I really think Virgo is one of the signs best suited for the saying “if you dream it you can become it”.
LIBRA - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 4th house of home and family. Full moons in the 4th often bring news of a move. Your focus is likely to be squarely on your home life right now. If there are aspects to your home routine, or family traditions, or the dynamics of family that you wish to see change, this is a good time to set intentions for that, even if you don’t communicate it just yet. There could be some muddiness around your routines while Neptune retrogrades in your 6th house (Saturn is Rx there too). With Mars in your 12th house, there isn’t much you can do about these things right now. But you might find some of the changes that you buck at first you end up enjoying…
SCORPIO - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 3rd house of communication. What area of your life do you find yourself biting your tongue and holding back? The restraints may come off during this lunation. Mercury moving into Leo in your 10th house tells us that there is something that needs to be said in the professional area of your life. There’s a lot of retrograde action coming from your 5th house of creativity. If your personal brand is not on point, that might start to bubble up more and more until you get to a place where your authentic self is expressed. The 3rd house is also very social and busy, and you have Mars moving into your 11th house of friends and audience as well. So you might want to make some room in your calendar for the next few weeks!
SAGITTARIUS - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 2nd house of income. Mars, the planet of action will also be moving into your 10th house of career. So there’s a set up here for potentially big news. Even if you’re not expecting or in a position for some kind of promotion, get your resume and social media polished up. There’s some significant retrograde activity in your 4th house of family. If there is something within the family dynamics that holds you back, let that shit go under this moon. There’s often guilt (which is a Cap thing) associated with money, so let that go too.
CAPRICORN - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 1st house of badass go get ‘em self. This is your moment in the spotlight. Can you handle it? Does the attention feel good or do you shy away from it? What is it about success that you shy away from? Let that shit go under this moon. Let go of any fears that hold you back and step into your own badassness. Mercury moves into Leo and your 8th house this week, offering some heat to your intimate life. Both Saturn (your ruler) and Neptune are retrograde in your 3rd house of communication. If you’re struggling to express yourself, that may be why. Unless things are on fire and you need to use your voice, uitlize this full moon for just yourself and your own satisfaction!
AQUARIUS - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 12th house of the unconscious. Since full moons are for releasing, there is nothing better than releasing guilt, which is a part of the Capricorn shadow. Self sacrifice is also an aspect of the 12th house. Have you been giving too much, to the point you are shriveling up? Shriveled is not a good look, Bitch. Fix that shit. Let go of the over-sacrificial bullshit that you’ve bought into. With Neptune and Saturn retrograding in your 2nd house of values and money, there’s a good chance you’ve already been thinking about this. You have support for this! Mercury moves into Leo in your 7th house, helping you find a bold voice via one of your partners. Mars enters your 8th house of benefiting from other people’s stuff. Lean in to these people and stop being so damn proud of asking for nothing.
PISCES - This Capricorn full moon lights up your 11th house of friends and audience. Capricorn speaks to professional success and public image… every public image also has an audience and yours is now filling up the theater. Capricorn rules the concept of karma, and many friendships are karmic. Are you hanging on to something or someone that has already served its purpose? Let it go. It is dimming your star. You need to do some energetic exfoliation of the friends and connections you have that are either just hangers-on, or are not doing anything for you anymore. Scrub, and let your light shine!
