Following on the heels of the Summer Solstice, which occurred yesterday, (June 20th), we will experience the Full Moon in practical and hard-working Capricorn, at 9:06 pm EDT (adjust for your Time. zone) on June 21, 2024.
Capricorn is a Cardinal-Earth sign, ruled by Saturn, the planet of cosmic timing and Karma: : “What you sow; so shall you reap!” It is referred to as earth’s taskmaster planet as it concerns responsibility.
This Capricorn Full Moon will be the first of 2 Consecutive Full Moons in this down to earth and ambitious sign. Both occur during Cancer Season: one at the beginning and one at the end.
Firstly, on June 21, 2024 at 1* Capricorn: 9:06 pm EDT
Secondly, on July 21, 2024 at 29* Capricorn: 6:17 am EDT
The sun and moon are ALWAYS opposite one another during a Full Moon, as the Sun illuminates the moon in its peak phase, bringing to the surface (consciousness) those areas buried, hidden or ignored in the subconscious mind. The focus is on: Culmination, Completion & Closure. It’s a time of RELEASE and letting go of those things that no longer serve your highest good and greatest joy. OPPOSITIONS bring AWARENESS!
The June and July Full Moons, in 2024, highlight the Cancer/Capricorn axis: Private Self vs Public Self and ask us to bring these 2 sides of ourselves into balance: Feeling & Doing.
Traditionally, Capricorn is associated with work, career, status quo and reputation. Capricorn, at its CORE; however, represents your life’s work and this may or may not have anything to do with your job. It may be your hobby, child/children, garden, artistic/musical pursuits, spiritual, meditative, yoga, astrological practices, writing/ research interests, exercise or sport engagements etc. Capricorn wants you to show up in the world, standing in your truth.
With this Lunation we are working with the energies of both, Cancer and Capricorn, with the Sun in Cancer opposing the Moon in Capricorn. Cancer reminds us to be responsible to ourselves, while Capricorn asks us to be responsible to others.When we show up as our authentic self, what we project outwardly matches what we feel on the inside.
“ As within ~ So without! “
SUGGESTION:
Throughout this Capricorn Full Moon period and the Cancer Season, commit to understanding yourself better through tapping-in to your intuition and listening to your inner voice, practicing self-care and upholding your responsibility to yourself. This sets the stage for what you can give to others.
The lower vibrations (shadows) of Capricorn, cause us to view success as a status symbol where we prioritize money, power and control. We remain overly concerned with how others perceive us instead of loving ourselves, first and foremost. This tends to pull us away from our authentic self and pulls us toward what society view as success.
The lower vibrations (shadows) of Cancer, show up as neediness, co-dependency and people-pleasing.This places too much importance on taking care of others and forgetting to take care of ourselves, first.. This can lead to resentment.
This and the following Lunation in Capricorn are the perfect times to RELEASE any shadows that inhibit you from being completely present with yourself. Make taking care of yourself a priority and know that everything else in your life will benefit from this replenishment. Learn to listen to your inner voice and address your personal needs. Let go of any guilt in doing so. Taking time for yourself is one of the most important & productive things you can do.
Cultivate the habits of discipline and structure as they empower you to make steady progress toward your goals.
“ Inch by inch life’s a cinch!”
June’s Full Moon is, also, known as the Strawberry 🍓 Moon, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. This relates to the names given to each Full Moon by the Native North Americans as they observed nature’ s happenings, each month. June brought the height of wild strawberry season.
CAPRICORN FULL 🌕 MOON BLESSINGS!
