Astrology really is a fascinating area to study. Within it are many mini-themes for you to wrap your head around, seeds of wisdom that, under the right conditions, might take hold and grow and perhaps one day bare fruit.

One of the gems in there is the relationship between Capricorn and Cancer: opposites of the zodiac creating the vertical line of the cardinal cross. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, father time, who takes approximately 29 years to traverse the zodiac. Cancer is ruled by the moon, the mother, who takes 29 days.

Whilst Cancer tends to encompass the ever-changing emotional tides of life, Capricorn deals with the longer journey. It's where we look up ahead at what's coming, plan for it, get prepared, and look behind at what has transpired, learn our lessons, try to do better next time.

The world has changed from when we needed to plan for the long hard winters, making sure we had enough crops to survive. Now, in the modern world, we don't even have seasons for our fruit and vegetables in the supermarket, they come to us all year round. If we want something we can throw a credit card at it and have it, deal with the consequences later.

As gratification gets closer and closer to being instantaneous we might think that Father Time's day is done, the old man has nothing left to teach us... But old Cronos didn't get the job without being fully qualified. Consequences to overdoing the now at the expense of the future are as relevant today as they ever were in any time.

As the moon waxes into fullness it might be a good time to ponder how far you've come on your journey through life, it might give you an indication of where you're going. Not just tomorrow and next week, but in the months and years to come that will shape your life on this planet.

Planning got a bit of a bad wrap over the last few decades, and the Luna Tuna would never want the LunaTunatics out there to stop being present and available to the moment at hand. Let's pass this one over to Yoda for the wisdom: 'Be mindful of the future, but not at the expense of the present'. 

So there's the task at hand for this full moon. Understand where you are on the grand voyage of discovery that is your life whilst remaining present, alert and aware.... now, GO!

We're slowing down the tunes for this purpose, getting you into a nice rhythm so that you might feel the cycles within the cycles. Strap yourself in, things are about to get celestial.
