The Goat Moon is coming. July's full moon could rock your world.
On July 10, 2025, the sky will tremble under the influence of powerful cosmic forces. The Full Moon in Capricorn is approaching – intense, full of contradictions, and... surprisingly human. Find out why it's not worth making life decisions on the spur of the moment.
On July 10, 2025, at 10:37 PM, the Moon will reach its full phase in the sign of Capricorn , creating a sky pattern that—to put it mildly—isn't conducive to peace of mind. This is the so-called Goat Moon, which in astrology symbolizes the clash of logic and emotion, structures and desires, and responsibility and the need for care. The Full Moon falls opposite the Sun in Cancer , which in itself creates tension between two completely different energies: the rationality of Capricorn and the emotionality of Cancer.
As Jetteke van Lexmond, co-founder of the Moonsisters collective, explains in an interview with Vogue Germany:
– Capricorn values hard work, discipline, responsibility, and stability. Emotions, intuition, and caring are the domain of Cancer – and it is their conflict that builds the tension of this full moon.

From July 4th, Neptune in Aries retrogrades , deepening our sensitivity but also introducing a fog of disorientation. And if you feel it's harder to concentrate and your stimuli are more intense than usual, it's the full moon that's at work.
"You may suddenly feel things you hadn't noticed before. It's a time of intense reception of signals from your body and surroundings—smells, sounds, colors—everything becomes more vivid," adds van Lexmond. "For sensitive people, this can be a particularly challenging time—full of mood swings, a need to escape, but also unexpected flashes of intuition."
Saturn, which will also go retrograde on July 13 , joins this puzzle, reminding us of the need to build on solid foundations – even if it requires patience and courage.
Uranus changes sign - and with it the entire dynamics of the worldTwo days before the full moon, on July 7th, Uranus leaves Taurus and enters Gemini. For the world, this means a new era of acceleration—technology, communications, AI, education, and space exploration . For us, it means unexpected changes, revolutions in thinking, and inevitable turbulence.
Who will feel this fullness most strongly?" Uranus in Gemini accelerates everything. Events will happen faster, but also more chaotically . This is a time of revolution in the way we think, speak, and perceive reality," explains the expert. She warns: "The biggest challenge will be not losing our humanity in a world that's rushing faster and faster."
The full moon in Capricorn will have the strongest impact on Capricorns, Cancers, Aries, and Libra , but all other signs will also feel these cosmic shifts. Capricorns may come face to face with their own limitations—and be forced to overcome them. Cancers will be torn between their desire for intimacy and the need to maintain emotional control. Aries may find their patience tested—not a favorite trait. Libra, on the other hand, may feel pressured by responsibilities that will be difficult to ignore.
However, regardless of zodiac sign, each of us will face the question: Am I acting in harmony with myself? Can I be loyal to my values, even when it's difficult?
The Goat Moon isn't a time to make life decisions. It's more of a signal to pause and look within. Allow your emotions to resonate instead of suppressing them. Find time to rest and organize your priorities.
