Full Moon in Capricorn- Part 1
Summer is officially here, kicking off with a bang! The summer solstice marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and the longest day of the year. This year, it falls on June 20 when the sun enters Cancer. The excitement continues the following day, June 21 at 9:08 p.m. EDT, with a full moon in Capricorn, also known as the strawberry full moon. These back-to-back celestial events promise a dynamic and busy season ahead!
The full moon in Capricorn is a time for recognition and accomplishment. Celebrate yourself and reflect on how far you've come. You might experience an epiphany about your life path—do your goals still excite you? It's a perfect moment to shed illusions about your career or others' expectations and focus on what you truly want to be remembered for. As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn is about initiating and building. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, Capricorn connects with history and tradition, urging us to reflect on our environment and societal structures. Consider which parts need renovation and how you can take consistent action to build a better world. This full moon is an opportunity to set new expectations with important people in your life and reconsider your commitments.
This full moon also reactivates themes from the new moon in Capricorn on January 11. Reflect on the commitments you made and the boundaries you set. Some goals you set at the start of the year might manifest now, or you might gain clarity on your next steps. Interestingly, we have not one, but two full moons in Capricorn this year—a rare occurrence. The first is on June 21 at 1 degree of Capricorn, and the second on July 21 at 29 degrees, the final degree before the zodiac sign changes. This first full moon offers a glimpse into future themes that will resurface in a month.
June’s full moon in Capricorn sits opposite Mercury and Venus in Cancer, highlighting communication and relationships. News and conversations from around June 17, when Mercury and Venus aligned, might resurface. Under these moonbeams, you might gain new insights, experience a shift in perspective, or feel ready to make important decisions. This is a time to voice your feelings and ask for what makes you feel safe and cared for.
With Saturn ruling this full moon, the event is even more intriguing as it occurs just days before Saturn goes retrograde in Pisces on June 29. This period might illuminate a boundary or commitment that needs reconsideration during Saturn’s retrograde. Additionally, the moon in Capricorn forms a supportive connection with Mars in Taurus, adding determination and energy to your pursuits. On the same day, Mercury in Cancer gently connects with Mars in Taurus, inspiring you to take action on your ideas with sharp discernment and decision-making skills.
