JUNE 27

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius until 11:53 AM EDT, after which it transits productive, practical Capricorn.

The Sun forms its annual opposition to Saturn today, and we can experience a reality check, likely related to our work, responsibilities, or the rules, in general. Feelings of doubt, pessimism, or guilt may undermine our confidence until we make corrections. Feeling blocked, encountering obstacles to progress, and inhibitions are all possible under this influence. While there can be some feelings of a letdown, our efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase confidence in our ability to be responsible for ourselves. Focusing too much on our feelings may not be very productive right now. This is a time for reevaluating goals, taking into better account the limits of time and energy. It can be a good time for developing real solutions to long-term problems and for recognizing the meaning behind recent restrictions or limitations. We might acknowledge the need to adopt a humbler, more mature, and possibly more conservative approach. We might also need to catch up on neglected duties or responsibilities.

Later today, with a Venus-Neptune quincunx, however, and we can feel a little insecure or uninspired on social or romantic levels. It’s best to avoid making large purchases and commitments at this time. While the morning influence asks us to put more structure and order into our endeavors, the nighttime aspect encourages us to take better care of our spiritual needs in our relationships and pastimes.

The Moon is void until 11:53 AM EDT when it enters Capricorn.

The Moon is Full in Capricorn on Thursday, June 28, 2018, at 12:53 AM EDT.

Very early Thursday, a Full Moon occurs when the Cancer Sun opposes the Moon in Capricorn. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time–a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

The Cancer-Capricorn polarity concerns the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn). Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn. In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. Cancer encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public or professional lines. While Cancer may be content to be dependent, Capricorn urges us to be grown-up and responsible. Cancer represents the origin, and Capricorn represents the goal.

Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between roots and direction. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as yet. This Full Moon aligns with Saturn and trines Uranus, suggesting somewhat sober realizations that we can nevertheless make work for us. There may be a tough decision or choice, reality check, or we may feel some pressure to make changes.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 6 degrees and 28 minutes of Capricorn opposing the Sun at 6 degrees and 28 minutes of Cancer, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 2 to 10 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
