Summer and Full Moon in Capricorn

Overview
The Summer Solstice on Thursday and the Full Moon on Friday are indications that issues of the cycle are brought to a head. While on the level of the matters that are comprehensive, such as political campaigns and armed conflicts, are ongoing, as are seasonal weather patterns, for example, the soli-lunar cycle is the progress of day-to-day issues that may advance or hinder the overall circumstances. The Full Moon is at the second degree of Capricorn. It is rare that there are two full Moon phases in one sign consecutively. The Full Moon on July 21^st will be in the final degree of Capricorn. Hopefully some major decisions will be made to benefit the future of humanity.
