What Does the Waxing Gibbous Moon in Capricorn Reflect?

Waxing gibbous Moon in Capricorn: steadiness ripens toward earned security. The invitation is to let it settle before it is perfect.

While the waxing gibbous Moon moves through Capricorn, the emotional tone of these days ripens toward earned security. The steadiness you have built is nearly solid, and the heart wants to trust it, to prepare to rest in something that will hold. Anticipation here is quiet and grounded, the calm of nearly arriving.

The gift of this moment is dependable readiness. The tension is postponing the feeling until the work is fully done. Let the security settle before it is perfect, and let one act of allowing yourself to rest prepare your heart to receive the safety it has been steadily building.
