I find it fascinating that this full moon is considered to be the first Yin moon of the year by the Taoist tradition, and that it falls - as every year - in Capricorn.
After the six moons during which the Yang energy of light and the Sun were growing, now, after the solstice, the first Yin moon introduces us to the freshness of the night (in the northern emisphere), which is, in turn, starting to grow.
A beautiful way to express this dark-humidity-coldness, presenting itself as a "principle", a forerunner for the next 5 moons, Capricorn, the cardinal sign of the Earth element.
In Alchemy, Earth is defined as the principle for the "blackening" phase, wonderfully meeting up with the Taoist tradition, at least from a "sensory" perspective. What did the philosophers mean, by saying that "we need to make, of earth, water"?
The beginning of the Yin, the beginning of the triumph of the Night, the coldness and steadyness of Capricorn.
The sun illuminates this incredible refreshing moon with the balanced warmth of a sweet cancerian affection, letting her crown herself with the most beautiful stars in the cool blue night.
Tomorrow, we will be able, at dawn, to contain the fiery rays of the glorious Cancer Sun, thanks to her, the Moon.
How wonderful!! How magic this is!
Of all the stars active in the configuration of this full moon, the one which is most representative (or was it the "cause"?) Is Deneb Algedi, which is shining its laser beam light on Saturn Retrograde in Aquarius.
Saturn, among other things, is the Lord of Alchemy.
Deneb Algedi is delta Capricorni, actually, and was one of the behenian stars. I cannot waste my time naming all her characteristics, as the Moon is calling me.
But it will suffice to say that she sits on the "tail of the Capricorn', and, even more than other stars, it reminds us that Capricorn is a WATER goat.
Blessed full moon, beloved.
