When reflecting upon your long-term visions, do you believe you are in alignment with these goals and dreams, or at the very least in the right headspace? This question holds profound relevance while we approach June’s full moon in Capricorn, as we are called to reflect on whether our current actions and decisions support the future we envision for ourselves. With this sobering lunation approaching, consider this an opportunity to reassess the structures and foundations of your life—what needs to be adjusted to fortify your path moving forward? The essence of Saturn-ruled Capricorn encourages us to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. In the meantime, check which astrological house this cardinal earth sign occupies in your birth chart to reference how this could play out in your personal and/or professional life.
Reaching its peak via the first degree of Capricorn on June 21 at exactly 9:08 p.m. ET, it’s important to note that this is the first of two full moons in the same sign, as the second will occur on July 21. Firstly, two full moons in the same sign, during the same astrological season—let alone a moon ruled season—only emphasizes the essence of structure, discipline and accountability, which are all attributes of Capricorn. Secondly, the first of two (occurring in June) will respond to Saturn in Pisces, while the second (occurring in July) responds to Saturn retrograde in Pisces. This, along with the astrological aspects at play, makes each lunation significantly different from the other. With that said, the first full moon in Capricorn could even resemble the energy of a new moon, where the second encourages us to review and reflect.

During the full moon phase, the sun makes a direct opposition with the moon, which in this case includes the sun in Cancer (symbolic of the home, family and emotional foundation) vs. the moon in Capricorn (representing the external structures, hierarchies, commitments, and responsibilities). Essentially, this is a call for balance between your emotional needs and your overall responsibility, whether in the workplace or with family. This is an opportunity to set realistic goals for ourselves, specifically in the areas where we need more structure. The sun, Mercury and Venus in Cancer will also sit across from the moon, making it an excellent time to connect with others, whether creatively or via an emotional heart-to-heart conversation.
As this stellium of planets in Cancer harmonize with Mars in Taurus, Luna will also trine the red planet, which is an excellent source of persistence, consistency and determination to pursue our goals moving forward. This brings focus to what is of value to us, and what requires more of our effort.
