What Does the Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn Reflect?

Last-quarter Moon in Capricorn: a burden you never had to carry is ready to be set down. The invitation is to loosen the belief that worth depends on how much you carry.

While the last-quarter Moon moves through Capricorn, the emotional tone of these days turns toward releasing a burden you never had to carry. A duty, an old rule about having to earn love or hold it all together, may be ready to be set down. Letting go here means loosening the belief that your worth depends on how much you carry.

The gift of this moment is unburdened release. The tension is clinging to control, fearing that without the weight you have no value. Let yourself put down what was never yours to hold, and let one honest act of self-permission remind you that you are worthy at rest, not only at work.
