Capricorn - Full Moon Meditation

«Lost am I in light supernal, yet on light I turn my back.»
(December 22 - January 20)

The Capricorn Full Moon meditation series draws from the mythic wisdom of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, each symbolizing a step in the soul’s return from selfishness to divine purpose.

Capricorn and the Path of Purity

In the journey from Aries to Pisces, the Capricorn Full Moon represents the climactic moment of purity, proportion, and freedom from desire. These are the spiritual foundations of true liberation. It is here the soul is tested not by what it lacks, but by what it must give up—personal ambition—for higher service.

Hercules’ Tenth Labor: Freeing Prometheus

In Capricorn, Hercules is summoned for his tenth task:

“Unto Prometheus, O Hercules, you are asked to be a savior. Go down into the depths, and there upon the outer planes release him from his suffering.”

He descends into Hades, the realm of the dead. The air grows dense. Reaching the river Styx, he confronts Charon, the frightened ferryman, and is taken across. Hercules then navigates the shadowed halls of the underworld, seeking the king's court. He is granted permission to free Prometheus—on the condition that he defeats the monstrous Cerberus barehanded.

A fierce battle ensues. Hercules seizes the central head of the three-headed dog. As Cerberus’ strength fails, Hercules triumphs. Continuing on, he finds Prometheus—chained to a rock, a vulture endlessly tearing at his liver, blood trickling down his side. He has suffered in immortality for eons. Without delay, Hercules breaks the chains. Prometheus is freed. The hero retraces his steps and ascends back to the realm of the living.

Symbolism of the Capricorn Moon

This myth reflects the spiritual lesson of Capricorn: to bring illumination into the darkness. The task is not for oneself—it is a service to humanity. Hercules, now fully developed in light and inner power, descends without fear. He uses unarmed tools of light, word, and trust. In freeing Prometheus, he frees himself—for both are aspects of the human journey.

Prometheus, the one who stole the “fire of thought” for humanity, symbolizes divine intelligence misused or misunderstood. Hercules, having walked the zodiacal path, is now capable of its rightful application. The lesson here is no longer about personal redemption—it is about the greater path of selfless service.

Capricorn as the Mountain of the Soul

Capricorn is the first of the three impersonal signs. Like the mountain goat scaling the highest peak, the initiate must overcome the final illusions of the personality. The disciple in Capricorn prepares to serve humanity in Aquarius. The keynote becomes:

“So goes the world disciple, initiate in Capricorn, on his way to serve humanity in Aquarius.”

Full Moon Meditation

Take time to align with the inner significance of this lunar moment through reflective silence and affirmation.

• Begin: Sit quietly. Close your eyes and center yourself.
• Chant OM three times.
• Contemplate the seed thought:

“Lost am I in light supernal, yet on that light I turn my back.”

• Recite this affirmation:

I am a point of light within a greater light.
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love divine.
I am a point of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery will of God.
And thus I stand.

• Chant OM three times again.
• Recite: “May all living beings in all the worlds be happy.” (Repeat 3x)
• Close: Sit in silence for three minutes. End with: Peace, Peace, Peace.

Let the Capricorn Full Moon remind you: the true spiritual glow is born not just from rising—but from descending to uplift others. In doing so, we become the path itself.
