Full Moon in Capricorn - June 21, 2024

On Friday, June 21st, 2024 (6:08 PM PDT & 9:08 PM EDT), the moon glows in the practical, pragmatic, and dependable sign of Capricorn. It’s a sign that does what it says it’s going to do and isn’t afraid of hard work. If you’ve been facing blockages or feel as if you’ve been hitting wall after wall lately, this energy is great for staying focused and pushing through to see what’s on the other side. Goals and things you’d like to accomplish tend to stand out more now.
 
Neptune, the mystical and dreamy planet, is making a tricky alignment to this Full Moon, so don’t be surprised if there’s still some confusion or uncertainty around some of the things you're hoping to accomplish. Maybe you’re confused about what direction to choose, where to move, what job to apply for, which school to go to, or how to move forward. Whatever it might be, do your best to keep your eyes on your goal and don’t let the blurriness pull you off track.

If confusion does arise, use this time to reassess and realign with your path. It’s okay if you’re still unsure of what the dream is or how to make it a reality. Maybe it's too early to understand how it will all work out, but stay focused and keep showing up. Eventually, you’ll know whether or not you can materialize it. Use this time to critically evaluate your dreams, and if you feel ready, start climbing that mountain.
 
This Full Moon could also help you see that some of your goals aren’t realistic. One thing to keep in mind is that this is the first full moon after solstice and we’ll experience a second Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st. In other words, we’re only at the first part of this act. The second part will help us see where we’ve become blinded by the illusion and also help us know what steps to take.
 
Consider these questions: What mountain stands before me? How committed do I feel to reach the top? What’s distracting me? What’s the confusion? Is there something that feels too unrealistic? What does the blockage want to teach me? What am I reaching for on the other side of that wall? Is there something about the dream I need to let go?
 
Venus, the planet of attraction, beauty, and what we most value is in the sign of Cancer, and is opposing this Full Moon along with Mercury, the planet of communication, and the Sun, our core identity. This has the potential to bring up issues with others. With these three planetary bodies all in the sign of cancer, you’ll find that there is an emotional need to feel safe. It’s also possible that you’ll find yourself longing for soulful connections. Jealousy and some other emotions could surface that make it difficult to communicate.

While we all might feel ready to roll up our sleeves for some hard work, we’ll experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Capricorn is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.
