Full Moon in Capricorn Guide
Full Moon in Capricorn, June 24 2021
Full Moon in Capricorn - June 24 2021
Welcome to Cancer season! After the Solstice a few days back, we welcome another important astrological event, the next full moon, the Full Moon in Capricorn on June 24, 2021 at 6:39pm GMT.
This moon is a Strawberry Moon, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, since this is a time of year when flowers turn into fruits,
Read on below for the significance of the full moon and the meaning of this Full Moon in Capricorn.
What is a full moon?
As I wrote in my previous article about the moon’s different phases, where you can learn all about lunar energy, the Full Moon happens approximately 15–18½ days after the New Moon. When the moon appears fully illuminated in the sky, it is considered the peak or climax of the lunar cycle. Emotions tend to run high, many people have trouble falling asleep and might be their most energetic around this time of the month. The energy is the most yang, or action-oriented at this time.
Astronomically, the Sun is opposite the Moon. In Astrology, this means they are 180 degrees apart, in opposite signs. We’re currently in Cancer season, the Sun is in Cancer, therefore the Full Moon will occur in its opposite sign of Capricorn.
What is the meaning of the Full Moon in Capricorn?
The Full Moon in Capricorn has much to do with the themes of ambition, responsibility, structure, time, and long-term goals.
Full Moons are always a time for release, especially when it comes to emotions. There is a sense of completion here as well, and we may experience the manifestation of the seeds we planted or things we started around the New Moon in Capricorn on January 13, 2021.
Full Moons are for celebrating what you’ve accomplished and embodied during this lunar cycle and beyond and to let things go! If certain things aren’t working for you, allow yourself to release them.
What achievements can you celebrate? How are your long-term goals coming along? Does anything need to be recalibrated or restructured? Capricorn is not about skipping steps, so ask yourself, are you putting in all the work you need to, to get where you want to go?
As this Full Moon in Capricorn is happening during emotional, intuitive Cancer season, there is an balance at play here between feeling into the type of future we want to create for ourselves and taking care to structure it and move ahead one step at a time in a grounded way.
This is also a time to check in and see if there’s anywhere you’re underestimating yourself, being too hard on yourself, putting too much pressure on situations, or being too controlling.
Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, all about time, responsibility, knowledge and wisdom, authority, structure and boundaries. Therefore, this lunation, the Full Moon in Capricorn is ruled by this planet. At the time of the Capricorn Full Moon, Saturn will be Retrograde in Aquarius. This retrograde period is a wonderful opportunity to inquire within about personal boundaries and one’s relationship to structure and responsibility, using the innovative energy of Aquarius to shift our perspective.
Saturn is also squaring Uranus, planet of change and innovation, creating tension between the way things have been and the way they could be on both the macro and micro level. Saturn in Aquarius is in opposition to Mars in Leo, asking us to look at how we’re taking action and be mindful of the ways we might be sabotaging ourselves in moving forward.
Now that we’re out of Eclipse season, the energies here are a lot more grounded, and with Mercury stationing direct, we should be feeling more clear-headed.
